Looked at my dolly by daylight and hell, she needs more work. *sigh* I should have kept track of how many hours I put into her. I can't stand the thought of more painting at the moment, though, so I think I'll work on her hair. This is my chance to be a beautician: I add highlights/lowlights, perm, cut and style. Kinda fun, but if you fuck up, it doesn't grow back.
Gotta figure out my schedule. I must get to a computer today. If the computer lab's closed I may have to drive all the way to my bro's, a good 45 minutes one way (and they get tired of my mug if they see it too much).
Peep-a-depe has been more forthcoming lately, which is really rewarding because she's always been a little reticent. She still has a touch of wildness to her; really jumpy at loud noises. But she's getting better.

I just put some neem oil on Newman's chin. Neem oil is an anti-microbial and works against mites and such critters, and fungus. Good stuff. It has a strong odor which a lot of people find objectionable. It reminds me of asophaeteda, an Indian spice, so to me it's a warm, comfortable smell. It's clear that Newman is not in agreement--he is not speaking to me. But he has little black flecks on his chin and when I scratch them, they come off along with bits of fur. So hopefully the neem oil will make that go away. It worked great on their ear mites and ringworm a while back.

Finally finished the doll. Would have liked to put her up for auction tonight but the pictures in .tiff format took too long to download. Tomorrow, then. It'll have to be a seven-day auction because a three-day will end on the weekend and a five-day will end on Monday, neither of which are good options, I believe. I dunno. I'll check out other auctions and see when they end, or better yet, I'll check the completed auctions. The first My Scene repaint ended this evening and I'm wondering how she did. Did she sell for ninety-nine cents? Hope not.
Second day in a row without computer action--man.
