Yeah, the site editor and ourselves didn't find out about it til earlier today. It is supposed to be there for two weeks. I guess if you wanted a Maxim subscription now is the time. :]

My wife got me a subscription to Maxim for free when she renewed People. What an empty, vacuous waste of paper. It should be named Minimum.

Shutup and take yer dose of boobies!
I was initially appalled at the idea of Maxim sponsoring us because it's so fatuous and softcore. But the black borders on the front page look so cool! …and what harm can boobies do anyway? I say MORE to Maxim ads all over the site! ^_^
And I think they should syndicate Pinky TA in all their publications, I think it would boost their sales at least 5 bajillion million 100 to the power of infinity percent.
I'm sure most people would agree with me on that.

I have a headache and I'm dead in the first night of the mafia game.. so bugger that -_-

Haha, I have a headache too, for some reason my allergies are acting up. It's late november and everything is dead, what's up with that? Anyway I am not getting much work done today.
You young male main webcomic audience should all be pro-boobies. Actually the timing of the ad isn't bad, being the big american shopping weekend and all. I'm withholding judgment anyway, at least it's just on the one page. :]

i'm not a big fan of boobies. i should clarify. i don't like boobies in magazines that are nigh on unattainable. tho you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
luckily i'm in a country that doesn't allow boobification of websites. and i'll i have are advertisements for the zombie movie.

Maxim isn't boobies; its cleavage. With All that training in photo editing I can see where they airbrushed out the nipples if they do manage a peak. Just ruins it for me. Sports Illustrated shows more. &*^%$
Here's hoping that as a subscriber I get the free graphic novel of Cowboys and Aliens.
Yeah the magazines I subscribe to: Maxim, Free Inquiry and Skepical Enquirer. So I'm a skeptical atheist who likes inane “guy” jokes and teasing shoots of unnaked women. Come on, their pictorials are barely two pages. The girl on the cover usually has one shot maybe three shots inside. The last one that had more was Lindsey Lohan. Now if we could just get that bimbo clean and sober and back to her original hair color! There aren't enough redheads in the world.
Can you tell I have to work tonight and all through the Thanksgiving weekend? And I just lost a client.
I need a little Christmas right this very minute.

Maxim is a huge waste of time, considering you have to go out, buy the magazine, come back and look at tits. If I want to see some hooters, I'll search for ta-tas on a streaming porn site and get my daily dose of dirty pillows. Breasts.
So my trip to visit family is off. our flight was late getting into vegas, making us miss our connecting flight in LAX. LAX (which is of course ran by a full squadron of idiots) lost our luggage. So now I pretty much don't have a third to half the clothes I own. Since we also went through three goddamn airlines (one to get there, a different one to connect to that we missed, and United to fly all the way back to Vegas the same night to solidify the trip as a massive waste of time and money), I seriously doubt they'll ever ship it. I'm sure it can be found, but lost forever thanks to airport bureaucracy.

I, for one, welcome our new Maxim overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a regular forum poster, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground soft-softcore porn photography studios.

On a completely unrelated note, after attending the con this last weekend and seeing fellow artists selling their wares, I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I have to figure out some info before this is possible, but I can say that if it makes me more money or nets more exposure, I'll go for it.

Breasts? Why on earth would you advertise breasts? It's not as if they're hard to come by or anything - damn things are everywhere. I can't turn around these days without getting a facefull of breasts - worse still, some of them are attatched to blokes. :(

Getting started on battlestar galactica. I have the first season and… 2.0? Weird. Anyways I really like it aside from the disgustingly awkward sex scenes every episode. The doctor has zero chemistry with any of the female cast and i don't find the walking-autopsy that lives in his brain sexy.
…i hope they don't pull a lost and everyone turns out to be a cylon.

There's some “interactive advertisement” for scented candles or something that is playing almost every time I open a new page in the forums. Urgh. Makes it very irritating to be here.
I miss when the ads used to be for lupus and fatherhood.

Intrusive ads drive people away so they are not appropriate to the site.
The more I know about it, the easier it is to complain about it to Wowio :)

Thanks oz! : )
The first one that comes up is for “Airwick Winter Candles”. But other ones start if I don't leave the page. It's the ad space just underneath the news section on the right.

By the time I realized thanksgiving was almost here I'd already done my grocery shopping for the week. So I think I will make myself a mini-thanksgiving dinner next week/end. I was just going to skip it, but man, stuffing and sweet potatoes sound good.

A lot of people talking about thanks giving. Obviously its pointless me saying anything thanksgiving related apart from I like turkey and stuffing.
Also I have an assignments within an assignment tomorrow. I have to describe a piece of art work that I really don't like tomorrow for 3 minutes. Thats all well and good where I not the one made the thing. All I can say is negative things about it.
I hate the way the green stands out, the black is completely pointless. I didn't make these indents in it so I dont like that. I didnt really know what I was going for or how exactly to do that with the media I was given since they somehow expected me being a jobless student to come up with money out of thin air and go buy art supplies because the art department are a bunch of tight ass bastards. There are 3 pots of paint in there. Seriously. 3 pots of dried up paint. We have a choice between black, blue and orange. I brought my own paints in and he disliked the texture of them and told me not to use them. I have had no control of how I actually wanted to make it look and now its a piece of shit because the tutor is a control freak.
I wonder would that last 3 minutes.

For once in my life, I'm participating in Black Friday. First I'm gonna not sleep, and then I shall venture into the blistering cold in the wee hours of the morning to race some strangers for an item that, if it falls to me, shall be given to someone else!
Hehehe, I'm kind of excited! I'm totally not gonna win, but I'm still excited. <3This excitement's gonna be ironic if I get trampled to death though

I got my mom a color pandigital e-reader a few days ago. It's pretty cool it has email, pics, videos, internet, screen that flips with the device, etc.I doubt mom will ever use any of that, in fact i'm sue she wont.
I also have mom's bird in my room because its so cold…i think i preferred when it was a twitchy psycho. It just sits there all ‘ovo’. My last bird was cool…it was really loud and probably said lots of awful swear words in parakeet. My cat was afraid of that bird haha.

Urgh… Goddamn work. Well, today's going to be the last night of our night shift… Monday? Most likely 12 hour shift again. It's still undecided. I'm already quite sick of it.
I can't sleep, I'm so tired I can't fall asleep! Never thought it to be possible but it is… hadn't drawn anything serious in ages, just these random sketches in the notebook…

ayesinbackLong weekends and things like that always screw with your time sense. It's great when you think it's a Sunday, but it turns out it's a Friday or Saturday… but the flipside is that it can make the next week seem twice a loooong.

Well, the 12 hour shift's looming on my mind. At this point I even dream of the job, ugh.
Come Monday I'll be dead tired.
The only good news are:
I'm awaiting a bunch of packages. COMICS!
1. Philippe Druillet's Lone Sloane/Delirius (from the 70s, used copy, paid about 25$ for mine).
2. Moebius' Le Monde d'Edena (also known as Aedena Cycle/Gardens of Aedena/World of Edena/wiat Edeny), the polish edition. Paid about 33$ for the two oversized hardcovers it consists of. Which is yay, cause for a new book it's damn cheap (it's in regular online stores for about 45$).
3. My own stuff: Inkbook #1, Moon Jade Angel #1 and Coilstar Illustrated #1.
Can't wait to re-read the first one (read a scanned copy before), complete reading the second one (the edition by Epic Comics didn't publish the last two volumes that came out years after they folded) and see the last three on paper.
