Having a bit too much fun with City of Hero's “activation weekend” today. Makes me want to get back into the game. Out of all the MMORPGs I've played, City of Heroes has had me team the most. Never hard to find a team, no matter what powers you have. And so many different heroes to team up with. Haven't done the architect thing yet, but I'm tempted to buy the “Going Rogue” expansion so I can bring one of my characters into the hero side… hmm…

Woo, I got my special collected set of LEXX in a tin today…
WOW, what a rip-off. That tin is really flimsy metal and the disk cases inside are just silver cardboard with no info on them apart from the episode name and number. Ha!
Lucky I already had the full series collected in normal DVD cases. That has lovely graphics and episode synopses for each one. Eh, still, it's nice to have a back-uo set of such a cool arty farty pervy sexy Sci-Fi series. Plus, the whole tin/silver thing has a nice minimal appeal.

Vegemite.
I firmly believe more people should be consuming the stuff. However… As a child it's often very hard to get used to. You forget that when you're an adult, but something made me remember the other day:
I had a cut on the inside of my lip. The pain that Vegemite inflicts on cuts and scrapes in the mouth is severe. Like acid. worse than lemon juice or vinegar. And then I had hot tea, which made the Vegemite sensitised wound feel as if I was pouring ground glass into it.

When you're a kid you lose teeth, bite your lips and tongue, cut and scape yourself a lot… Vegemite is one of those painful yet inevitable little hazards of growing (for Aussie kids) like grazing your knees and all that other fun stuff. I wonder now that I ever stuck with it after that -_-

I just spend a couple hours trying to fix my comic's html, and then I spent two hours putting it back the way it was because suddenly everything started moving every time I refreshed the page…
Don't you just love codes…

and vegemite is gross, I tried it once and… yuk

So for the sixth year in a row, I got asked to do this French speaking competition. Only this year, for whatever reason, I actually said yes. Except now I'm having second thoughts because it's on Monday and I don't think that's going to be enough time for me to prepare.

So I found a copy of Drawing Dynamic Hands by Burne Hogarth (mostly known for his old Tarzan comics) and man… an hour of practice and I already draw a little better hands!
This should help me immensely with my future comics. Now to find more of his books!

Few years ago I've read one of his Tarzan books and I loved his way of drawing. The most static thing is drawn in a very flowing, dynamic fashion. I think that slightly seeped through into my art at some point (there's a couple of poses and drawings here and there), but it was a pale shadow of his brilliance.

In other news… it snowed yesterday… again! I mean, wtf, isn't this supposed to be Spring starting soon? Eh. I want the outside to turn GREEN again, dammit!

In other other news… I think I'm hungry and need more tea.

About my girlfriend: Yes. She's cute. OF COURSE SHE IS.

I need to update my comic.

My stomachaches are gone entirely BUT I have random headaches as always. I haven't been able to get to a doctor yet but hopefully I will soon.

But I thought you were fluent in French? How do they judge a French speaking competition? Who can speak the fastest, or sound the most pissed off/sexy/disinterested?

I learned to draw with his ‘Dynamic Figure Drawing’.

Sooooo my face is covered in bruises. Why, I don't know. Make up is not working. What the eff.

One date doesn´t make a girlfriend…

I´ve had so many first dates.
Sooooo many…

Did you happen to:
-get in a fight?
-walk into a wall?
-sleep on your face?
-all of the above?

She fell down the stairs.

I should have phrased that better…it's a French SPEECH competition. So it's whoever can write and present the best 3-5 minute speech. Mine is on Joshua Abraham Norton, the guy who proclaimed himself as emperor of the US back in the 1800s.

Alot of stairs…and only on her face. completely by accident.

When i handed the new claim over to the trailers, as i walked out, i'm pretty sure i heard a distinctive “FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU”

I never heard of him - what a fantastic character/life story. You should win outright on the basis of that. I cried a little when I read this part:

“on the reeking pavement, in the darkness of a moon-less night under the dripping rain…, Norton I, by the grace of God, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, departed this life”

Joshua Abraham Norton was an interesting guy.
I believe there was another guy that claimed he was king of america some years back, he claimed to have english documents and stuff…

Dear God. I officially saw more of SEVERAL of my friends than I've ever wanted to see. Damn strip poker… Naturally I chickened out when it got to the point of having to decide between my dignity and being the fun girl. Oh well. I'll always pick being prudish to being whorish. ;P

Yes, all in the span of going to school and coming back. THUG LYFE.

Wow… I missed how fun City of Heroes was when I was playing it. I didn't stop playing it because it was less fun. Rather, I'm saving money at the moment so I can travel to see my father and brothers again. Every $ counts in my opinion. I haven't even bought new games for a while yet. Hopefully that'll change soon once I've got enough for the trip as well as for paying bills in advance in case I don't get home in time to pay them. :)

I'm glad for these free activation weekends. I get to play for free for a few days, though I eventually plan on resubscribing. Teams in the game were so much fun. Poking fun at some players costumes, grossing out at others (like a really HUGE BALD BEARDED BRUTE/TANKER with nothing but a very tight… thong? eww… reminds me of some muscular sweaty men I used to watch as a kid, fighting in a squared ring…)…

saw a hypnotist show last night. laughed my ass off. and it was the seniors at my school who were being hypnotized so it WAS funny

You just didn't want them to see the rest of the bruises. :(

Stop walking into doors you clumsy so and so! >:/

Yes, then they might suspect something…!

There has to have been a a few… It's code for wife beating in script dialogue, like:
"It's nothing, I just walked into a door. Look I don't want to talk about it ok?". :)

Or code for underground boxing clubs.

Or code for just falling down the stairs.

Exactly, that's why I can't show mine. :D

Always remember, the difference between risque and public indecency is about one article of clothing less than you remember taking off.

As for myself, I prefer to make an ass of myself with clothes on. It's much easier to just get drunk and say something you'll have to publicly apologize for than to try remembering why you took your pants off in the middle of February and fell asleep attempting to insert various yard things into the tail pipe of a car.

Never thought I'd make someone mad with one of my jokes…. told a lady at my worksite that if I ever get married, it'll be to a woman who already has children. Why? Because it's just too much work making them.

She was ready to slap me in the face… definitely one of my more “WTH” moments… O_O

I was wondering if anyone would get that…

I played strip poker a while back too, too bad the girls totally kicked our asses… My pokahfaceh really is the worst ever.

every time I have good cards my face turns red, it's something I can't do anything about!

Well, I don't think too many of you noticed but I haven't updated either of my comics in ages. I just don't find it that fun anymore to draw them. But, I will start a new comic, one that will allow me to draw anything I find fun enough. It will be called “The Most Awesome Things in The Universe” and it will be a compilation of the most awesome things I can imagine. For example, a gigantic robotic T-Rex plowing out of the oceans of Mars feasting on a motorcycle gang while aliens riding Lions flee the awesome scene would be awesome, so that might be a page. I reckon after a while of that I'll get back into my other comics too.

oh hey there wife. i realize we're having massive financial issues, but what i need you to do, is to go out, and keep spending money you don't have.

Then i want you to cry to me that you're drowning in debt, and then tell me that i'm a horrible husband when i don't help you because :1. you keep going way in debt, and i'm tired of helping you and: b. i barely have enough money to pay the bills as it is!
