Happy Tuesday? More like Mardi Gras: Fat Finger Tuesday. I've been clickety-clicking my mouse and dragging for the last four hours. Now my index finger feels like it needs a hot bath and a Turkish massage (from some large, hairy guy with a heavy accent).

The other day I finally decided to start a Faves collection because I've been keeping a lot of works in my DA Inbox, and I've squirreled away a few bits that I adore. And it was all getting unwieldy; out of hand. And, well, slowly I discovered that I kind of like it when people put a fave on my so-called "art". It gets the ol' juices flowing, and even starts a few conversations. So I figured, well, OK, if I, the crotchety old geezer from Santa Banana who doesn't care if anyone's looking, reading or listening, actually likes getting Faves, then others might like them, too.

So now I'm busily doing unto others. All 263 of them. More-or-less in alphabetical order. I'm now around "M", so I just hit MaNishma [link] Mansongothic [link] and MarieLousie [link] for example). Earlier I hit friends like Krazysidhe [link] Eemia [link] LilianMarvolo [link] and Mister Wolfe [link] (but it's really hard to fave a comic strip, folks, so I'll probably go back to fave a frame or two of the MW strips I follow, like Combustible Dust [link] and A Javan Tiger [link] and OMG, speaking of AJT, it just hit strip number 101 and it's gotten exciting! OMG I gotta stop writing OMG, someone might think I'm a girl. Either that or I gotta stop writing while drinking strong alcoholic beverages after 11 pm on a school night.) I'm not sure I have the right number of parentheses in there, but that's OK. It's not an essay contest, so I'll top up here just in case.)) So, just about next up will be people like MedicalMaladies [link] and MJBivouac [link] ooh-la-la ...

Believe it or not, in the year or so I've been here, I've put Dev Watches on 260+ people. Of course, they're not all active every day, or I'd have to quit my day job just to make time for even looking at all the art, but it means a fair bit of new art wanders in front of my eyeballs most days. I had no idea I was such a visual junky, but I guess I am. OMG! I'm also a chat fiend and, Wow Squared on a pogo stick, I really enjoy talking to a few deviants on a fairly regular basis, and I guess I'm actually making friends. Gee. Thanks for being there.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled chaos. The universe is large and we have a lot to explore today, boys, girls, others, and select alien visitors; so pack a big lunch, bring your towels, and put on your spectacles.

Om mani and all that.

Update: Minor update late Thursday night. I'm now down to "S" in my faving marathon, and next up is Sammicula. [link]
