I put up a new print of a painting on etsy

I think it’s kind of foxy.

In other news, I’m trying out a new online “job” of sorts, on Gamecrush. Someone decided that dudes will pay to play video games with girls. There are the dumber, casual games on the website itself are more for people seeking out cam-whores who will play e-checkers and show off their boobies. The (in my opinion) better games are on xbox 360 for now, and you can play Gears of War 2, GTA IV, COD: Modern Warfare 2, and Halo 3. Those games do not require a webcam, you just have to be able to talk on a headset. I like Gears of War 2, and I have the ability to speak to anyone with a pulse, so I signed up at the suggestion of the beef. The ladies are called Playdates, and the dudes are Players. The playdates have a profile that say whether they’re online or not and if they are feeling “flirty” or “dirty” or (gasp!) both. Read as: flirty “LET’S PLAY GAMES WEEE” and dirty “I will take my clothes off on a camera for your enjoyment.” So selecting both means you actually like playing the games and taking off your clothes. I will be sticking to flirty.

The site is in beta mode right now. I’m not sure how many dudes are actually on it. The site is shrouded in ~mystery~ to the people on it. Browsing through the forums gave me more of an idea of the competition, but there wasn’t much happening. My profile is up, and I have some times set up so guys know when to reach me. I’m thinking I may need a picture with my glasses on for the dork effect. Ehh. Is it whoring? A little, but I’m more interested in swapping stories while shooting at giant white monsters crying GROOOUND WAAALKERS GRAAAUUUH and helping a dude have more confidence in himself when talking to the ladies. Just, you know, he’ll pay me for it.

I kind of need a real job.

well, this is disheartening

On Etsy, people can “favorite” your shop by “hearting” it. It can really bring you up even if there aren’t a ton of sales and people heart you, but if they don’t…

no one hearts haddad ink

Well, that isn’t so fun. Promotion will be occurring! TAKE THAT, INTERNET. I’ve been posting fliers around town to let folks know I am interested in taking commissions. Planting the seed is frustrating because you have to wait for it to sprout, like 00J’s habaneros. We planted our seeds several weeks ago and everything except the habaneros and the mint were growing. They’re just now starting to show their pretty little faces.

Just need to be patient. PATIENCE. My shop will grow if I water it and give it sunshine. Ew, soggy prints.

my professional review of Iron Man 2

It was fun.

Scarlett Johansson was not a good choice for her character. At all. Did she screen test?

Robert Downey Jr. + Gwyneth Paltrow = crazy cute awesome silly.

Don Cheadle was smooooth.

Things Are Gonna Be A-Changin’ Around Here

I’ve started up my Etsy store. Since quitting my last job at the end of January, I’ve been painting. I got a studio space, and I started making. The Etsy store will be (for now) only prints, and I will be trying to sell the actual paintings locally. They aren’t all up on Etsy yet. To see the full set of what I’ve made (and are not embarrassed of) go to my crafthaus Balance album. I’ll be updating my crafthaus album as I finish paintings.

examples of my work

The main page of haddadadad has a few changes to it. There may be a redesign of the haddadadad blog in the works. I like the layout, so it may be a teeny thing like a banner change. We’ll see.

I’m going back to posting important things more often again. I will be starting a series on inline skating, involving care of skates, traits to look for when buying, and road safety. It’s all been on my mind for a few months, especially whenever cyclists hop out in front of my car like they have some giant forcefield protecting them. Cyclists have more protection from the law than skaters, but they could learn a thing or two as well.

My band is starting to record our original songs. I’ll be posting them as we get less fuzzy tracks down for your enjoyment.

Basically, if I post about the future plans, I have to do it all. Right?

Dear Roman Polanski,

Shut up. Seriously, shut the fuck up. You left the country to escape the United States law. You made the decision to stay out of the country since 1977 while leaving the case officially unresolved.

I read your recent statement on a pdf file. You seem to feel you’ve fulfilled your sentence for having sex with a thirteen-year-old girl in 1977 that you gave alcohol and drugs to. Have you realized that, had you stayed in the country, this all would have been over long ago? Maybe even twenty years ago?

Artistic talent is a fantastic thing to have, and people believing in your talent garner support to you. You’ve been making movies all these years, fantastic movies that so many people love. You’re still a rapist.

At this stage of the game, it’s common knowledge you banged a barely teen-aged Samantha Geimer by giving her sedatives and alcoholic drinks while you were well above the age of eighteen. It’s been over thirty years and the victim of this crime has come to terms with it, yet you haven’t actually served your term as you were never properly sentenced. That time you were held was only for psychiatric evaluation. Why do you think that you should come back Stateside without finishing what you started? For such a professional, you seem to be lacking on tying up your loose ends.

Geimer asking for the case to be dropped shows that she’s tired of the lack of resolution. Her request being denied shows that many other people feel that there is a rapist that has not paid his debt to society. You face- and ass-fucked a young teenager. Come back and serve time and you’ll be going back to making movies in no time.

Sincerely,
haddadadad
