The Year is Dead. Long Live the Year. :)

Any resolutions out there? I saw a meme that responded to that question with: Yes – 1280 X 1024. I think that's about right.

So wishing all the very best in this 2013.

Happy 2013 Ayes :)

happy new year!

Happy happy!
I will start exercising again and begin doing freelance graphic design work, for serious!!!
Those are my resolutions. I've already begun the former.

1280 X 1024? a screen res??????? hahaha!

So what did you do for new years? Loud music and dancing was my thing.

Happy new year DrunkDuck ^^

Here's to a better year than 2012!


Seriously, though. My 2012 was horrible. Worst year of my life so far, contained the worst month of my life so far (October).
Glad to see the back of ‘em both!

A lot of the stuff I plan to do this year was stuff I already wanted to do but couldn’t because of how shit everything was. So I don't really need to make any. I lost nearly two stone before 2013 started anyway. So no need to change that, either.

My PC hard drive was destroyed and so were the backups so I need to start re-writing the scripts for my comics and re-drawing the concept art.

The only resolution I can make this year as a result:
“This time when I finish the first fewpagesI WILL FREAKING POST THEM!!!”

YES YAY for a new year! This will be the most stressful year EVER, as I am graduating and being pushed OFF into the real world!!! No jokin' around here. Just livin' life and things LIKE THAT.
Blahhhhhb!!!!!!

Happy New Years… 2013 is the year I'll be getting my MASTERS IN CARTOONING!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
2012 is going to suck in comparison.

Happy 2013. My resolution this year is to play more Rock Band. (Oh, and do more comics stuff as well.)

Happy 2013! Hope it's a good one!

Happy 3012!
I'm typing into my time machine computer from the far future where Drunk Duck is finally fixed and has many people on it again! Yay! :D

It really takes 1000 years to fix it? Not too good I was hoping it'd be fixed at least by the 24 1/2th Century for Duck Dodgers.

It waaaas… but Marvin the Martian blew it all up >:[

I'm just glad that I managed to outlive 2012, seeing as it was always promising to end the world. Good to see that doom and gloom year out of the way.

Happy New Year :)

PP you have giant volcanoes so the eand of the world for you is more of a real concept. :)

Tantz has political turmoil where she is so I imagine that feels pretty doomsday too! ^_^

Life is pretty smooth here for the most part- geologically solid as a very hard rock, politically bland, and economically buoyant… as long as China keeps paying us for our minerals.

Oz. You know just as well as I do that Icelanders are too stuborn to worry about silly things like volcanoes. Why do you think we built our capital on an active hotspot?



Edit: Also, am changing my avatar to something more befitting to this post.

I will confirm that at least one Icelander is either very fond of his home (probably) or stubborn (not entirely unlikely) or just doesn't want to have to tote around someone else's food any more (can't be ruled out). or perhaps a combination thereof

Product Placement toted food. I needed someone to do it and he was available (and good at it) and this is how you end up with a job if you are in my company for any amount of time. So this New Year was particularly delightful with Product Placement's addition. He and Roku are still a thing and he came for a visit. I was questioned by a Rokulily grandparent: what kind of thing? I have no proper answer. They're ducks in the same pond - how's that?

There was the teensiest bit of a clue that I knew what Product was up to in the Gullas/Oz thread. We were in the same room with our respective laptops running (Betsy the ol PC is dead, for those who might be wondering. Long live Honeybee the laptop) - and there's nothing like being in the same room with laptops running to enable instant trollism.

So I had a much-needed break from work beginning 2:30 PM 31 Dec. and ending this past Mon. My resolution is not to let stupidness get to me. I was doing really well with that until yesterday. Slight dip in the graph, but recovered nicely today.

cheers!

Those volcanic active areas are ludicrous!
I need to come visit you again Ayes, stop over at your house this time and eat all your food ^_^

If you find a reason to travel to the states again and your flight takes you through Europe, then you'll need an awfully good excuse to not stop by my place. My local airliner company offers free stopover for those traveling across the Atlantic.

On the topic of volcanoes, I remember listening to an old broadcast from the 70's, which was from the time when a offshore village was being threatened by an eruption (can read about said eruption here). A reporter from the city was talking to a villager, who was still on the island, through a phone. Now, I'm translating the interview from memory but it went something like this:

Reporter: So can you tell us what's going on, on the island?
Woman: Well, the Civil Defence has order us all to the harbor for evacuation. My family are packing up some essentials to take with us.
Reporter: And how's the weather?
Woman: Oh! The weather's fantastic. Not the slightest breeze, which is surprising because the forecast was predicting a storm.

Oh, sure. The town is about to be buried under molten rock, but hey, the weather's pretty great.

I'd just love to fly directly TO iceland and stay there a couple of weeks. I think it'd be a cool place to travel to at wear furry clothes at!

3 months into 2013 and I'm already starting to miss 2012. I loved that year so much better… xD The family car broke down this year and went flat broke for weeks on end for a good while.
The only real perk has been commissions. I made $200 bucks so far.

You could wear furry clothes in Canada, oz! It's -21 C here today.

I'd quite like to visit Canada too! ^_^

Anyone notice that almost 25% of the year is gone already? Wow.

I don't believe Nature has taken notice. At least not here in NJ. She's really holding on tight to winter this year - maybe her version of slowing down the rotation like I remember dragging my foot to slow down one of these:



Who am I kidding. It was more like this:



*Ibegansurvivaltrainingatanearlyage*

I once had the job of taking down the playground for maintenance and repainting. Every year how those kids would destroy that merry-go-round and every year repaint it.

Ever try to paint a jungle jim with a paintbrush? You're climbing through the thing trying to get every angle and not get paint on you. It was more fun than playing on it was when I was a kid.

The weather in NJ will finally get into the 50's this weekend! Spring is here! About &%#$ time.
