Cheesecake for Every
(This isn't really a rant because i'm not mad)
Aparently someone in my school had/has tuberculosis and as it is contagious when exposed to the person for a long period of time so the school sent out a newsletter to notify everyone of the symptoms and such but then the health board of my city sent around letters to people who could've had contact with possibly infected people through classes and such to people so that they can be tested to make sure they don't have it.

I got a letter.Damn.

Hello talking cheesecake, I hope you don't have TB that would be awful.

Did the kid knowingly come to school with it or just find out? When i got my blood drawn the doctor used a ‘butterfly needle’ which didn't bother me like normal needles.

Hello and thanks

I don't know, the school's being extremely non-imformative about it because they don't want everyone panicing

I'm fine with blood tests but I don't know if this is a blood test or like one of those allergy test sorta things which would scare the hell out of me,I'm even considering seeing if I can drag my friend outta class to sit beside me for comfort.

for TB they put a thingy under your skin near your elbow, it takes about 3 days to show. It'll be a strange bump for a while. The doctor will tell you the signs to look for on that bump if it's TB or not.

I had to get one in college, and then again a couple years ago.

ugghhhh “in college….a couple years ago”

In high school years ago never made me cringe, and nothing ever seemed that far away. am i getting old?

It's from an episode of that show from 2005 which I'd never ever seen before, but I happened to watch it last night while I was doing my comic… o_O

Just happened to be watching the early eps online for something to fill my brain with so I don't get distracted from my drawing, then I read this.

You're in cahoots with Kyu to put a bug in my brain aren't you? >_>

I haven't really drawn anything since my tablet pen failure. Which is kinda stupid cause I can pencil pages after all, right? It's just that I have these two comics that I want to wrap up and move on before I commit to more pencilled pages and I can't do that.

It's also the fact that the tablet failure left me with a half-finished page (after something like four hours) and no time left to draw anything with pencil, thusit was the first day when I did not complete anything. And that (as always) started the avalanche of “eh, I don't feel like drawing anything today” days. I hate that.

It's always the little things that get in the way of creativity.

Meanwhile I seem to be developing a gaming obsession. I want to upgrade my pc so that I can play some games finally. And to make music again, or at least finish old tracks.

I keep seeing this girl, who works in my comic book/geek/gaming store who really looks like a friend of mine. And I keep seeing here everywhere! It's like she's haunting me! come to think of it, she also reminds me of Niccea >.>

Planning that wedding's clearly been so stressful for her that she's been moonlighting as an Icelandic comic book store employee, but now you've blown her cover D:

As for me, I live a pretty boring life so I moonlight as a Serbian loose-cannon cop with nothing to lose.

Always, I wanna be with mew, and make believe with mew

This video managed to put a smile to my face so I wanted to share it with you guys.

It's part of a paint company sponsored movement where dull and gray city parts are painted with vibrant colors. Not sure I agree with all the color choices but it was still fun to watch.

Those were my two cents.

I'm assuming that's CGI? You'd have to hope Dulux couldn't really paint the whole town to look like brightly coloured shit.

Almost like summer today; glorious sunshine, birds tweeting with gusto,
blossom on the trees - I'm finding it very hard to get depressed about being out of work. Where's my growing sense of hopelessness and despair? Where's my my lack of self esteem?

Sorry to be so emo. i should be better in the morning. it's just this day…

It doesn't take long for the mind to develop object permanence, but then it's so hard to lose once you have it.

Nope. Everything that you saw was 100% undoctored authentic footage.

Ugh… took me about 4 hours, but I finally managed to find my water meter, then cut the pipe near it so I could switch it to the brand new PVC line I put together. Sawing my way through that galvanized metal with a tiny hacksaw wasn't easy though and there wasn't enough space for either a grinder or a larger hacksaw. Still, it was worth it. No more large sized water bills to pay (though I still have to pay THIS month's water bill at which time I still had that leaky problem).

Well, it IS your hair so do what you like. I've been told blondes have a lot more fun anyways. :)

Sometimes I wish I could color my hair in multiple colors, combed and chromed into pointy bladed spikes. But if I did that I'd lose my job… And anyways, that sort of hairstyle looks really weird on a 40 year old Filipino man. T_T

great… I feel like the “King of Wishful Thinking” now…

Got a video game concept going on paper so far. I guess I could call it a “movable” rail shooter (in case you don't know, think of all those light gun games where the direction you went was chosen by the camera). You can move forward/backward or left/right depending on the scene and look forward/backward as well. I was told if the player had any kind of freedom of momement (even movement on “rails”) then it's no longer a rail shooter, but a First Person Shooter instead. Maybe I better think this through a little better. And maybe play a little of Taito's “Space Gun” while I'm at it (Youtube it… it's a nice light gun game). :)

I had three grey hairs once. I plucked them out >:[

I'm on an 80s glam metal music binge. It's awesome. Sidetracked onto the legendary RUN DMC via the crossover Walk this way and into that great vid for Tricky, then back to Glam metal again. Lovely! :)
Aerosmith's hypocritical homophobic masterpiece Dude looks like a Lady is LOL.
____________

Last year, during the Wowio yacht party, this friendly couple cornered me and we got to chatting about stuff. They were very much the “classic” image of TV Californian youth- He tall, lean, tanned and muscular with a head of blonde curls, and she tall, lean, tanned and shapely, with thick black hair. They both talked in that dreamy “surfer dude” sort of way.

Aaaanyway, they kept on telling me that I needed to go and see “Big Sur”, that it was "Sooo great“ and all this stuff. Sounded nice, but I had no fricken idea what they were talking about. ”Big Sur“ does not sound like the name of a place.
So last night watching Big Bang Theory and they go off to ”Big Sur". Ahhhh, so it really IS a place afterall! I shoulda gone there.

As I read that I find myself drawing two girls chatting in a bedroom and really getting into all the girly details - you may have a point. I should draw some shiny muscled barbarians - no wait!…

Ah what's the use - I'll draw Judy Garland.

According to my personal philosophy, everything is a penis anyway. Idea penises, anyway. But every time I explain it in detail I get weird looks. Sigh. One of these days, imma gonna bring memetics back.

——————
27 pages penciled this week. I'm going to try to get 36 finished by Sunday. It's been hard to motivate myself- usually I spend an hour or two every morning staring at the ceiling in self-loathing, but this week I had one day where it lasted 5 hours. I've had to keep Kanye West's “Power” preloaded. For book one, it was Fort Minor's “Remember the Name.” At this rate, though, I'm going to hate the song by the end of the book >.>

I haven't done a lot of gaming for ages but I bought dragon age 2 yesterday.
As it was cheaper to get the ps3 version I got that instead of the 360 one which would have been my first choice. So far so good.

EXCEPT

I just put a dvd on for the kids and the ps3 made a funny noise then spat the disc out. It now won't read discs which probably means the blu ray drive is knackered.

just out of warranty too.

grrr.

… you just made me think of what was told to me about Sony products… in this case, about how they engineer their products so they fail right after the warranty expires… O_O

Of course that can't be true… my original Playstation has been out of warranty for a very LONG TIME, and it still works. Too bad it doesn't have the original controller. My brother threw it against the wall after losing at one of the games I had (I think it was a Street Fighter game)…

That is true of a lot of products, not just sony. ps1 and 2 were actually really durable, ps3 not so much.

Used to run a game store and we did console repairs, everyone knows about the 360 problems and we did fix a hell of lot them but about a year after the ps3 came out they started rolling in en mass, all just out of warranty.
