EVERYBODY'S WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND.

Or is it just me?

Meh. I should really go work on some equipment that went down last week so I can get it ready to go on Monday, but I really don't feel like doing anything right now :/

my wife just tried to explain to me, that the reason i'm not committing to buying a house, is because a house stands for everything that is growing up, and that i'm not ready to accept the responsibilities of being an adult.

This is from the same woman, who doesn't know when she should go out and buy more food. and that if the car has a 1/4 tank of gas, she should fill it up, so she doesn't break down on a freeway. basically doing all the things that keep adults alive.

Are we married to the same woman?

there may be a possibility that you're married to her super evil but exactly the same personality twin. (just evil and eviler).

BLLLLLARRRRR. internet has been intermittent all day. i wrote up a 3 page facebook note on communism. (just finished reading the communist manifesto) and my viewpoints on the subject. and basically calling out people who hate things without knowing what they hate.

then i clicked submit. and then the internet died.

i didn't remember how eloquently i put everything so when the internet came back, i wrote down my main points and then said somebody was dumb.

The problem with communism is people. people are greedy muppets, fairness is not inherent in our nature.

I like the basic principles of commumism, but any system that forces a way of life on people isn't going to sit right with everyone. I'm discovering that I am something of an anarchist at heart… not like the idiots who trash things to stick it to the man though.

This I found quite interesting.

That's also the trouble with democracy. Neither system has ever been implemented properly to the best of my knowledge… there have just been various political systems around that vaguely use various principals from each and take their names…
When in reality what they really are is “system A that uses a democratic elections” or “System B that uses a communist division of power and distribution of resources”

I think in the USSR they still used various democratic principals in their system. China works more like a semi feudal system with communism and capitalism mixed in along with limited democracy. North Korea is a straight out military dictatorship and functions as a hereditary Monarchy. A wealthy country like the USA is more like a democratic Plutocracy- it's set up so that the wealthy will always be in charge.
Many European systems in contrast have a lot of socialist aspects to their democracy…

This is so funny- http://crapplestore.blogspot.com/
Blog by a guy working at a UK Apple store.

An example:

The first thing you'll f**king hate is the opening a new store. You'd think from the cheering something major is happening, but really it just another f**king shop surrounded by other shit shops. Everyone whoops, cheers and delivers high fives all round, especially to the biggest loser of them all- the virgin at the front of the queue.

naww. i'm not for communism. i'm military. communism is democracy's enemy etc etc.
However, i like to know as much as i can. so when i got the kindle, and all these opposite view point books were free, i was like “hell yeah”. and then i posted it on facebook that i was reading those books, and they were like “omg i hope ur on a ter'st watch list” etc etc.

(the avatar was created when my friend, a photography major, posted some poses in lighting, i had to edit it.)

True communism has no leadership, which is why it doesn't work.

my blankets are thin. i'm going to go exchange them for some new ones.

Well I appreciate the page fuck up but I really need the break.

Even though I haven't really been on that much lately I get addicted so I'm going a bit.

Whether this is forever or not I don't know.

That and I'm not feeling too good recently if you get what I mean and need time to think about it and not sit at a screen for hours on end.


Still love the site and all the people on it.

Peace guys.

Oh well. I guess we'll maybe, perhaps, see you around, some other time, then.

Hope you resolve whatever it is that you're planing on resolving.

I fixed it. Seventy is a page terrorist.

You should do as Ryuwolf did- exercise, get big muscles, and date lots of girls. ^_^

Hey, check this out!
You can make an app for your comic to go on Nokia phones:
http://appwizard.ovi.com/web_nokia/stepone.jsp

Just use the rss link from your comic page!
It only makes a simple text feed really, but people can click through to your comic page using it.
It's not whiz-bang brilliant, because our rss feeds are pretty basic, but it DOES show recent updates exactly when they happen, so if you've got good descriptive and interesting author notes on each page (not one of those lame-arses that leave them blank), then it should be good enough.

Anyway, it's free and it's a good way to get your stuff out there!

…now to look for iphone and Android versions…

i found out on facebook that my former step father did something really really fucked up. and everyone on facebook (from my hometown) is posting about how fucked up it is. but they don't know my relation to that. specially since i kept my step dad under raps (because he was such a horrible person) and that they used his regular name, which he doesn't go by because he's a junior. or the second or whatever.

either way it's fucked up. seriously.

I'm glad i got my mom to leave him way back when.

what he do? Did it invole an animal?

I have to share this…

So I'm at the back of the garden this morning, feeding my cat, it's a blistering hot summer's day.
Birds are going crazy. There are these two wattlebirds darting about all over the place and two massive ravens eyeing everything with their speculative sneaky intelligence.

Then I hear a rustle in the giant bamboo and there's the huge brown rat that's leapt onto the fence carrying something big in its mouth. The oblivious rat scurries along the top of the fence through the ivy towards me and my cat, I go over to look (and so does said cat). The crazy rat just notices us for the first time, squeaks, backs up terrified, and drops its bundle down beside the fence and then runs away.
I snatch it up before puss can investigate.
It's a baby rat, as big as a fully grown mouse, eyes still sealed shut, beautiful short, shiny brown fur all over it.

What could I do???
I don't kill animals. I don't kill them by neglect either… Puss might kill but that's not what I do, I don't give him prey either, he finds his own or he gets nothing.
I was getting ready for work, with not much time left… Had to find a box, some water soaked tissue, some milk in a lid, some bamboo leaves, milk-soaked bread… I hope it's ok. I don't really want to bring up a baby rat though. T_T

That happened to me…a mouse had babies under my bathtub and left one behind. It was too young for food and i figured letting my cat end it quickly was better than putting it outside to starve to death. Maybe you could try putting it back and hoping the mom hears it.

Battlestar galactica…
Season 1: WOWOWOW
Season 2: WOOOOOOOW
Season 3: the fuck

Well I'm three episodes into the third season…it's starting to get on my nerves like Heroes did with Sylar. I hated that character so much and they wouldn't get rid of him…same with Baltar.

I got a very shitty day to look forward too tomorrow otherwise.

I can't believe I slept all day Sunday. I used to be able to get out of bed after working long hours. I'm getting old.

It's wonderful when management doesn't tell me I'm working until noon until fifteen minutes after I was supposed to leave.

But I got tons of work on the comic done. The building is getting a new executive director so there may be changes a-coming. Or there may not.

You know what the wife said today? “You know dear we'll be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary when you turn 50!”

So something special has to be planned for those two milestones four years from now. But then time is ending in 2012 so it won't matter.

Done!
Hopefully the mummy rat will come back… I filled the box with shredded newspaper to keep the little mite warm and cosy and put a rat sized hole in one side so mum can get in and investigate- also put it on a route I know she visits and added some cat biscuits to make it more tempting for her.

It was hard to let go of him in the end. I never thought a baby rat could be so fricken cute! I thought they either looked like pink embryo maggoty things, or shaggy, skinny, smelly small sized rat things, but it's not so! Little Squeaker has short silvery brown, silky, shiny fur, a fat little baby body with cute little rolls, a rounded little head like an otter that's too big for his little body, and tiny little perfectly round monkey ears. And all he wanted to do was burrow between my fingers and sleep (missing his litter-mates).

I would seriously keep him if I didn't have a great big cat that looks on all rats as after-dinner snacks and has been wondering around despondent and disappointed, looking at me with big expectant eyes waiting for me to hand him his little furry wriggling treat so he can gulp it down in one bite.

@Skull- was the new Battlestar as good as Farscape?

Get out the door on the dot! That way they can't get ya ;)

This trick has worked for me for years…
But start staying a little late just once, and they get you! Happens every time -_-

he was involved in an infants death. as the story is released he may or may not have been the person to directly cause it.

i don't know. i feel so bad for this man. so upset that (apparently) he didn't change.

Or acting like a student. If Im not doing anything I can sleep all day.

Or am I just getting old?

Anyway. In othernews I have to paint a canvas to go on sale in my grandfathers shop. Im really pressured to make this look sellable.

@frankkerr

That's great: paint something that will sell. Can you go outrageous? whether it's a celebrity picking his/her nose, or just RED? or does it have to be something along the line of a bowl of bananas?

za kitchen, she is no more, for now. The demo happened today, and apparently we'd been living with 50s (40s?), Colonial-American-couple-stenciled, 12-inch tiles buried beneath the formica backsplash. I think we now need the services of an exorcist.

My rat is kept in a different room from the cats…for the most part they don't care about him, but my youngest kitty cat likes to attack his cage. Which is strange, because if I let them out of the cage together(supervised of course) they seem to get along just fine.

It wouldn't work with mine. He's been hunting and eating them since he could walk. Rat to this cat = dinner

Unfortunately mummy rat didn't take baby last night. -_-
Baby seems ok though. licking a bit of milk, crawling along and snuggling… and pooping.
Stupid mummy rat.

I really can't bring up a baby rat :(

I don't even know how you can stand to have those around, wild rats are nasty, dirty things. If it makes you feel better that little baby probably already has mites and internal parasites. Wild rats are different to domesticated rats anyway and I don't know if it would ever become tame if you did try to raise it.

But looook, he's so cute, like a baby wombat :(

I am so with skoolmunkee on this. Whatever you do, Don't Name It!

Got the painting semi completed. Still need to do the outline properly. I don't see it as very marketable but its worth a try.
Behold! A low resolution photo of it!

Except I have a job where I cannot leave my post until properly relieved. I'm even viewed as reliable and responsible!

When I had a job where I could leave on the dot? I was in my car with the keys in the ignition at the assigned time. But I gots responsiblity so I gotta be there.

First in and last out. Ooo-rah.

And every once in a great while I'm guranteed to know what I'm doing or at least look like I know what I'm doing even if I can't spell guarantee. ;)

So I think my dad is going to get us a bunny for Christmas. Yayyy! : )

And I get a new iPod(but only cos it's free…I'm not spoiled). I think it will be a good Christmas this year.
Of course, boxing day I will be here complaining about how much of a letdown Christmas was, just like I do every year.

Edit: By the way, the annoying “interactive advertisement” disappeared for like two days but now it's back again. -_-

Hello. Been awhile.

somebody actually logged into TDg last week. i had given up hope. i think it was just a random accident. but i wouldn't mind for some new folks to bring it back by clicking the following words. TDg is were old people go to die

that baby may make it. the doctor said there was no way. but it was able to move around a couple days ago, today they took it off life support and he's still alive.

the full story isn't out.
