NUTS!! I can't remember how to make a DVD from my movie maker file. I haven't had to do it for a year or two, and now it's like starting all over. grrrr

Also, can anyone recommend a good digital recorder? I'd rather have something that can also play music files, but if means just getting a mike for the PC that captures voice well, that would be fine. I have a SanDisk sansa fuze and the voice recorder SUCKS.

I've been finishing commissions today…. I also inked, scanned, and started coloring a comic page but my hand suddenly hurts a lot. I'm using up my archive too fastttttttt.
I have an update for tomorrow, but I really like having these updates ready more than a week in advanced. >>

-Cold sores are a pain in the ass.
-Been lethargic all the time. Really sleepy 24/7.
-Way behind in college work.
-Months behind on art-commissions.
-Fast metabolism + little food = health problems. I'm surviving off ramen and a mixture of those miniature Kix, Cocoa crispies, and Pops cereal boxes. Gotta have my pops.

I have less than 100 pages to go on the notes section of my pre-research.

As I'm reading this, I can see how it'll be impossible to draw it as I always do, on A4 sized paper. I'll have to go up in size to A3 to get it done, and it'll of course cause all sorts of problems (including stitching scans from several pieces, ugh)
Of course, first I have to go through all the necessary visual research, do tons of designs… and this thing turns into a regular fashion show, haha. Since the characters are an equivalent of royalty/noblety it makes sense to have them change clothes often, especially if they go from “official dinner” to “tinkering on weird doomsday projects in the basement” to “fighting monsters in the forest” to “official visit to someone else” to “leisure time clothing” to “getting ready for bed” modes.

But yeah, one of the major characters changes her clothes at least 13 times (including two flashback sequences).

I better make sure the characters are easy to tell apart regardless of what they're wearing!

Ahhh the new pokemon game was great. It was way too short though :( I seriously need to get wi-fi.

I'm mixed on it, in a bizarre way it's my favorite pokeon game(the new pokemon and rivals are amazing) and my least favorite game(shortttt and exclusive of people without wi-fi).

I was gonna say something else about this paypal hacker but i forgot.

Skool and I find that headset mics work well enough. I use a USB one to further cut out any weird comp noise.
With DVD stuff, if you use later versions of Windows I think it has a DVD maker program or at least DVD exporter options?
I always get confused by that stuff too because Windows usability in programs like that still leave a LOT to be desired.

OH OZONE, YOU SO FAAAAANI.


Nah, I've one one HUGE one on my upper lip, right side (very noticeable), that keeps poking my bottom lip every time I close my mouth. After a while of being closed, the cold sore on my top lip sorta sticks to the bottom lip like Velcro. If I open my mouth for any reason at all, it tugs and stings like a son of a bitch.

I've also got one on my bottom lip, left side, moderately small but somehow positioned just right that it pokes the teeth on my bottom jaw. If I'm not careful, I'll accidentally bite it.
Mmmm, goodness knows I'd love a mouth full of herpes pus.



Thanks, I see not much has changed. I could have sword the entire site would have had a redesign by now.

Put lots of stingy alcohol on them? ^_^

Site redesign is going gradually to avoid the same issues we normally get. There's be a beta version that'll take a few weeks etc…
Things are being built from the ground up so we won't be messing up with the older code.

See the redesign blogs in the DD news. http://www.drunkduck.com/news/news_archive.php?story=1055

PEOPLE! Check out this thread: http://www.drunkduck.com/community/view_topic.php?tid=55797&cid=226
Send us material for the Quackcast!
We need scripts or short recordings (2 min or less) on various subjects.

For this Thursday anything people want to say about art materials, or digital art VS traditional art.
For next Thursday it's “What I learned from making a webcomic”

If you send in scripts you can specify a funny accent and either Skool or I will attempt to do it as we read it out!
-Skool does the most convincing American accent you EVER heard. It's amazing O_o

Cold sores

I feel your pain. Once upon a time I had six cold sores and a sore throat so bad it was totally coated. Couldn't eat, could barely drink. I had a great nurse. At the point of orgasm the stuffiest sinuses clear for one brief shining moment. My diet consisted of Listerine, Sucrets and Ambesol.

Ever since I get a cold sore about every other month or so. Listerine.

Welcome to the curse of interesting times.

But I did five pages this past weekend and the workbench is clear. Will I start building sets for another script? Need warmer weather to do all the spray painting.

I'm guessing the software comes with the USB headset mike?

Nope. It just automatically works through windows (Vista and Windows 7, don't know about XP, probably works the same on Macs too).
You just plug it in and wait till it's detected and the OS finds drivers for it. Works like a dream :)

Um ,if you're asking about recording software, then yeah, Genejoke's suggestion of Audacity is good. My mic didn't come with recording software.

So, it's nice when posting a commission attracts new commissions.

It's not nice when they don't know what a commission is and not understand that they're supposed to pay me. >>

it's a lot harder to find someone who is willing to build roll cages than i thought.

i am being distracted. i have mozart playing, which is nice zone out music. i'm thinking about googling more welding places…and i'm playing bejeweled blitz. also there's a sneaky awacs doing touch and goes. go away, your kind aren't welcome here.
——–

i had real work this morning, but that got canceled. so then i went to leave, and the guy in charge of me was like “you have office work to do” so i sat very still for an hour, and asked again. well he wanted a lunch break, and since i had my lunch with me, i was kind enough to watch over the empty office for an hour. then when he got back it started all over. and eventually he said “only because i'm getting tired of that damn question”

i mean, there was no work to be done, i bashed it out this morning. he finished some up by 9:30…oh well, i got to leave.

Herpes is a diverse little guy. I think one of the weirdest places I've heard of as susceptible to the virus is the eyeball. If I remember correctly, it's also one o' the more serious places- most of the usual spots lead to aesthetic problems and some general crumminess, but herpes of the eye can lead to complications like vision loss or blindness.

Next time you feel like licking that special someone's eyes, remember: ocular herp isn't yer friend.

Dug myself into a little hole here.

I've been saving money for months to pre-order the Duke Nukem Balls of Steel collectors edition and I have $88.00 on me.
Food stock is running low, but that fucking bust of Duke Nukem is so beautiful and it's been a LOOOOONG wait for this new edition to the series…
Do I choose to restock on consumables with the Duke money or try to make do until I reach the $100 mark?

Decisions decisions.

I just dropped my ipod in my bunny's litterbox. Gross.



We have around 8 exchange students in my art class, from 3 or 4 different, non-English speakings countries. When they're speaking to the teacher or other students it's in English, but they often speak amongst themselves in their native languages.
Today we had a substitute teacher who told them “IN ENGLISH” and that it was “rude” to have conversations in languages other than English. When they didn't listen to her, she said, “IN ENGLISH, POR FAVOR!” and threatened to discipline them for not speaking in English. Amongst themselves.
I told her, “We're in Canada. They're free to speak whatever language they want,” but she kept yelling about how it was rude and against the rules. I was very, very embarassed. Nice way to treat people who are guests in our country.
Fortunately one of them(good for him) went and checked with the head of the EAL stuff and confirmed that they can have private conversations in their own languages.

So I was walking to the store and some guy almost hit me on his bike. He had no lights on, was riding through a red light, and was gong the wrong way in the bike lane, which I had to cross to get across the street. Then he shouts “LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU FUCKING IDIOT.”

Limey bastard.

And then I got elbowed in the face in Whole Foods.
