Feels so nice to be on my computer with its big monitor, actual mouse, and reasonable internet connection speed.
Ten hour car drive... blaaaaargh exhausting. Didn't get as much writing done as I wanted to, since I had a headache, although chapter 8 is almost finished, just gotta wrap it up. It's only the second one-scene chapter, the first being chapter 3.
Speaking of which chapter 4 was posted yesterday.
Also my new (well not really) Sansa has a pretty darned good battery life compar
Yeah, I know I said Tuesday. Well, I lied. Thursday.
Bah, didn't get to update the Lyg comic... I've been on the dot for eight weeks! Gah, oh well. Comic 9 will be up this Saturday instead... I mean what really gets me is, this was gonna be the first thing that I could actually get done each week, on schedule, that I have an idea of where I'm going, a very SPECIFIC, comic-by-comic idea, that I could easily get down on paper, but alas life STILL got in the way and I had no buffer zone, and no
Anyone remember this girl? If not filename should clue you in.
Ah, she's fun to draw. Doodled her this morning while waiting for class to start. Anyway. I've been working on my skills at clothes. Recently doodled my sleeves and jeans in class for practice. I think I've gotten marginally better, as in the above doodle. Oh yeah, suffering from giraffe syndrome as often happens when I doodle the head first and decide to tack on the body afterwards. Tried to move her shoulders up a bit digitally
Okay, I'm losing my MIND here.
1. dON'T USE cAPSLOCK! If you want to EMPHASIZE a word, all caps it. If you want to say, "HEY COME TAKE A LOOK AT THIS EVERYBODY!" caps it. If you're saying "THIS IS MY NEW ART TOPIC. WHAT DO YOU THINK." Do NOT use caps! All caps is ANNOYING.

AUGH.
I hate this time of year.
...
That is to say, not the time of year that schools ending. I'm all for school ending. It's what school ending ENTAILS...
Such as FINALS. FINALS. AUGH! Finaaaaaals ngggggggh.
I was spared most of them last year-- a lot of my classes didn't HAVE finals, and one of them we did before the scheduled final days. Latin, I got a gold on the NLE so I didn't have to take it. Gym, obviously no final.
But THIS year...
First block: A-day: History B-day:
Tomorrow AT NOON!? Geez that means I have to finish it today. I'll be at school noon tomorrow. >~<
Argh, I'm seriously just rushing it. Even so I'm only up to halfway down the upper torso. Argh.
No WIP shot... just gonna have to wait till it's actually done.
EDIT: I lied. Screen...
Y'know zoomed out (and this is still 25% resolution) it's actually quite passable, for a rush job.
Homerow keys. Because I honestly could not think of a title.
Let me think... what's new in life...
Uh. Oh, yeah. Wednesday was a snow day, which contrary to belief really sucked. See, we have no allotted snow days this year, so if we have one, then we lose a day off somewhere else. In this case, today we would have not had school, but instead we had off on Wednesday. I mean, really, a four-day weekend is so much better than a day off in the middle of the week and then a three day weekend
I know I'm not going to get any replies in CoT so I'm gonna put a link here anyway but also post the image itself.
Here's the topic.
Click to enlarge
Palmer Eldritch from... well, you can read the topic for that.
As I said in the comments to the previous entry I did find the image I was looking for in good quality, as well as a whole BLOG full of good-quality screencaps of Gurren Lagann. So I ended up assembing a wallpaper with that image and several other ones even if I don't inte
Well, let me start off by saying that my sister is six today, and I got to sing Happy Birthday to her via cell phone. ^w^ But since I mentioned that yesterday, let us move on.
We ended up only playing Laser Tag for the first twenty minutes XD. We went on the Bumper Boats twice, shot water balloons at each other, and somehow found two hundred tickets just lying around the arcade area; after losing track of three dollars worth of tokens of course... *sigh* (NOT MY FAULT) But we probably wouldn'
Yeah, it was the best prank ever!
... April Fools.
Yeah, no. Come on! I missed Vahkipower (joined the month after it happened, *sigh*) but I remember the chaos caused by KimPower. At least that fooled people, and it resulted in mass panic (and what is more fun than panic?).
2006 there was... nothing till the eleventh hour. Last year, removing CoT and LGD? Panic, but little humor in it, and not nearly elaborate enough to live up to VP and KP. This year there was this... I mean, joke news
Wow, long time no blog. Then again, some haven't posted entries in months, so...
Anyway, first full week of school just went by! Seeing as last week we had a four-day-weekend... so anyway, I actually think I can handle it. AP Chem seemed really daunting at first, I did absolutely horrifically on my thermometer for the summer assignment (whadid I get, a 79? 72?) but while our teacher isn't easy (I hear the other AP Chem teacher just checks: if I heat your thermometer, does it go up, and if I c
So I'm only going to be paying for one antivirus program, and I gotta make sure it gets rid of the virus, and that it's not actually going to be prevented from working by the virus (which happened to Spysweeper and Search&Destroy)... so the question is, which one?
From a quick Google, Bitdefender and Kapersky look good... I'm downloading AVG right now, seeing as it's free... downloaded Spydoctor's free trial and ran it, it picked up a lot of stuff, but I dunno...
Anyone out there with
I am not working on too many things at once. I mean, forget that I've got three school projects, 52-pickup, and another incomplete CG.

Doodled in class, went over the lines in PS, now refining the lineart (already started, you can see the lines in her face and bangs are cleaner).
Gonna hafta practice my fire effects. I'm not particularly good at them.
This is going quicker than expected.
Also, I believe this is my anima. This resulted from two doodles (in the lower right corner) on my notes of "what would I look like as a girl?" which resulted from the entry in Wrack's blog about "what would you wear if you were a fantasy princess?"
... I choose very random things to become interested in drawing. Oh well. I suppose it keeps my creative juices flowing.
Or something.
Also I think I'm horribly misinterpreting Jung up there. Oh well.
Anyone who knows the basics and knows something of modern American culture ought to get this after the first two lines, perhaps, or you can just make conjectures based on the proper nouns. Actually, considering all the slang and odd colloquial English construction used, it was somewhat tricky and I had to be a bit liberal with this one, and ask my Latin teacher about some of the constructions (in a different context of course; imagine me asking my Latin teacher to translate this!).
This one w
As stubborn and frequently unable to handle certain ideas that friend of mine is, he does ask some good questions.
Today he mentioned that he'd heard that in either Chinese or Japanese, the past was referred to as "forward" and the future as "backwards," while the opposite is true in English. At first I was all, "What are you talking about?" but then I though about it for a second, and I realized, hey, technically he's right, that's true for both languages, although when used in context of ti
So someone on another forum put it aptly. To paraphrase:
"We know something Haruhi is coming this April. We just have no idea what. Thank you Kadokawa."
At least it's not an outright denial since Newtype didn't explicitly say it was a rerun and they used images obviously from Disappearance... in the end however, all the news was utterly ambiguous. *sigh* Well, as I was a latecomer to the fanbase, this hasn't happened to me before... I feel sorry for the people for whom this is the fourth t
Surprising, no? Well, I still read novels, still a sci-fi nut.
First, of course, just to get it out of the way, allow me to vent for a moment on my latest headache with learning kanji. Okay look at this. AAAARGH! Homophones I was expecting, it's obviously going to happen extremely frequently in a syllable-based system-- actually I could go off on another tangent about phonemes and syllable-based languages but anyway... homophones are not too bad to deal with, they occur even more frequently i
I MADE THE FINALS! =D
Yaaaaaay.

Plx? =<
Yeah, it seems to be a rather brutal poll this time for some reason... everyone has something to say about the entries.
While I understand the color scheme argument (I personally like it, but it looks like plenty disagree) I would like to point out something to someone who posted a comment that confused me for a moment until I realized what they were saying. Apparently they were complaining that the fin would look different from the o
