I'd play that game. not that i'd admit that out loud.

wait what? are those

wildebeests changing the subject?

I want to rally my car. but the more i get into it, the more i realize it's going to take a long time. Mostly coming up with the money for safety gear. i mean, i understand the rollcage expense. It's metal, that has to be bent. while cold. then they have to do the man hours to put it in.

But seats are almost the same price as that. helmets are about half. now we're at the price i paid for the car (if not more)

This is going to be fun. but long.

I'm still amazed by the fact that I'm the only one of my friends for whom small homework assignments are not a long, labor intensive process that takes multiple nights to complete.

I get my work done in class and because of that I barely ever have any homework at all. I get my shit done, get a comic page done, and still have a social life and time catch up on tv and the internet… I'm on the deans list and I'm not a terribly organized person. None of them work and most of them do a lot less than I do in general. I'm just getting sick of every one of my friends bitching and the constant I CAN'T TALK I HAVE HOMEWORK messages and then they're playing minecraft and posting art student owl on tumblr.

Goddamn it guys, we're in college. We're actually paying for our education now, and we have STUDIO TIME. Use it. @_____@
If you use your studio time you can bullshit at home. You don't have to drag 6 foot tall canvases on the subway.

No one is going to agree with me there, but I needed to post that somewhere.

The constant complaining. It wares so thin. @___@

tell me about it, but not only did I also experience this in college but I'm also getting that same wipe from my University department. But that might steam from the fact that bunch of pretentious indy/hipster girls make up the vast majority of my classes, I'm still amazed how many made the cut for this semester <.<

This aspect shocked me when I taught digital animation to art students.
Really promising people who could've easily aced the whole thing with something amazing ended up failing completely because they just didn't finish.
Seeing it from the other side was a real eye opener.

In a bad mood today. Just generally pissed off and feeling tetchy. Not really sure why, but I'm definitely not in a good mood.

Not quite so pissed off now.

I finished the latest page of Pinky TA. It will update tomorrow.



Also… I got my pass for Comic Con 2011. A Professional Pass!
I'm so happy. :)
A Professional pass all my own ^_^
Big thanks to Warpedwenger for suggesting it!

Now I just need somewhere to stay… And hopefully they'll have more passes available like last year so my friends can come along too

Look at the correlation!!

I hate mood swings.

Especially when I have no reason for them to swing.

I keep going from fucking ecstatic to terribly depressed and this happens in only these two states.

And then I come on here and bitch about it.

And then I rant about other shit.

/Other shit.

So…my drama production, a rock-based caberet, is looking terrible and even though I'm not supposed to put down it, I just did, me being honest with the internet rather than the directors.

Also I have another two concerts (one for my vocal group and the other for an afterschool band) that we're not prepared for.

…man this month has sucked.

the stress of perfectionism. i wish i had it. oh well, i'll continue being content with mediocrity. But that's mediocrity at what i'm doing at the moment. I'll do everything i'll ever want, and wake up one day and realize i'm a jack of all trades and master of none.

So keep adding stuff to your pile, i guarantee most of it will make you better.

I'm concerned for my brother. He was borderline alcoholic, and now he's just had a really bad break up. Probably the most serious relationship he's ever had. makes me sad.

Sleep…

I suggest you keep a VERY CLOSE EYE on him. Not literally, though. I don't like the idea of anyone else ending up like my uncle did. He became an alcoholic when wife died, and it ultimately killed him via a badly burnt liver (or whatever alcohol does to it). He basically drank himself to death with hard liquor… :(

And as for that light gun game I mentioned I might try to make, it would be as tasteful as possible and would get as close as it can to certain borders while remaining something most people could play. It's really funny how something like Dead Space can be played and most people won't think a second thought, but any game that shows so much as a bare ankle gets a load of bricks dropped on it…

You probably wouldn't have to turn your volume down… ‘til you realized you’ve shredded more than you should since her kill scream will be very very loud… followed by the thud of the heavy object used to bludgeon you to death (a stone table, a lampost, a Peterbuilt 379, etc…). Of course if her mind is totally taken over you'll probably just be strangled…

Ugh… I don't want to go to work today. But I have to. I wonder what it must've been like for our ancient caveman ancestors. All they had to worry about was survival. After hunting down a mammoth they wouldn't have to hunt for several days meaning they probably had a lot of freetime, right?

:) 3am, I'd just finished a page (doesn't usually elate me), just about to have a shower and go to bed at, but I checked my e-mail again…
And there it was, they accepted my application. YAY! I ended up getting to bed at around 5, but 3 hour sleep before work is nothing new to me.

Do you see inside my head?

So ive been off sick for the past week. Im usually late every day anyway but when I dont come in it causes and enquiry. I cant get a doctors note straight away because it takes about a week and I dont want to request one until I know for definite how long ive been off. My tutor doesnt know a thing about art. All he knows about is sewing machines and textile work. Fair enough its a form of art but he teaches painting. I havent seen the man paint one thing. Nor draw unless its to show an example of how not to do something.

I cant be bothered with this course. Im only doing it because I want to go on to do illustration in university but neither Scotland nor the south of ireland has any Illustration courses. Graphic design would be good where it not constantly debating weither digital illustration counts. I got told that I should be doing typography which I find boring. Who actually enjoys DOING typography. I dont even enjoy looking at it. I also cant quit because its gonna cost me £1365 in repaying grants which have went towards paying into the rent of this stupid house.
Speaking of which were aparently moving back to the old house. This isnt gonna be fun at all. I hate moving just due to the whole having to move crap part. I was just after an operation the last time we moved which cause it to bleed all over my jeans. Didnt look awkward at all…
Fortunatly my mums schizophrenic about wheither or not to sell the old house, put it up for rent or move back into it. I hope either of the first 2 happens before june.
She wants to knock the wall through the 2 bedrooms in the old house so she can make one big room. Thank God by then Ill be moving away with my girlfriend when she goes to uni.
Her parents want her to go to one in northern Ireland just so she can be at home and look after her cousin while her aunt drinks with her mum and neglects the child on Saturdays which I think is completely unfair and ballsing up any chance of her having a good future.

So anyway. I may be able to get free university in the south because Im still technically an irish citizen and university in scotland is aparently only around £1500 a year where as its around £9000 a year in england and northern ireland. Besides the fact that I hate the Welsh. I wouldnt go there because theyre all dyslexic weirdos.




Bah! Stupid future.

My tummy and that bottle of flavored soya milk are having an argument, i can hear them grumbling together..

Oh great. as if wrist/ankle/knee problems, slightly damaged hearing and light-oversensitive eyes weren't enough of a problem already, I seem to have developed an eye migraine too!

Wahahahaha!
Fairy Tail volume 3 has arrived!
… In German.
I can't read German. lol!

And it's back… not so terminal then I guess.

: D!!!!!

Well sort of but better than it was. I'm off to bed wonder what the morning will bring.

\o/

Very happy about this.

I wish to thank the one who found a recent backup of the site and getting it up.

I was unable to get a hold of myself…my car still broke.

I need not buy stuff today for my car…but i want toooooo so bad. Now i know how ozone feels when he sees a vintage coat that fits him.

Got my images re-uploaded. : )

I'm just so glad everything's a lot better than it looked at first… on top of everything else I was really bummed about loosing the comic reviews I did. I put effort into those. >>;

I lost some of my comic pages. I just decided to just reboot the series anyway.
:P

Still Drunk Duck…you are ripping both my heart and soul out here!

Lawrence Leach, our king programmer and all around nice guy who I met personally and chatted to last year on the Wowio yacht party has worked and worked and worked to restore the site that our commercial host lost.

This had me Sooooooo pissed off last night. I went to bed at 3.30am after our big emergency Skype meeting and responding to posts everywhere and writing updates on our Facebook and LJ pages.

I woke up refreshed, then remembered what happened to DD… and just felt completely flat and depressed again.
Then I let my phone connect to the net, got a massive flood of e-mails and read with relief that Lawrence had managed to get things almost good again.

So it's not soooo bad now.

Thank you Lawrence!

Wow… well… let's hope that our favorite mascot duck doesn't go sober again…. :)

Shit happens, fuck it drive on.

Perspective.

For the ones who've been on the site for quite a while, DD has this periodic cycles of ‘apocalypse’ every now and then, the last one way back on 2006 was way worse than this. Even the user accounts were wiped out (pre wowio days)

In any case, DD is a free site for me to use, ill just re upload the lost stuff, No complaints here! :cat:

Edit:

Wow, a lot of angry people over this whole incident..cool down peeps, its not the end of the world.

For the admins/staff who don't get enough love for working their asses off to bring back some of the stuff, you have my thanks and appreciation.

Well said! It's easy to forget that DD is not your full-time job, Oz and Skool, because you give so much. Big thanks for not losing your heads (at least publicly ;) ), responding to all the complaints, worries, etc., and putting in, again, all the extra time.

And, Lawrence, where ever you are THANK YOU. Amazing that without server back-up, so much was restored.

Why it's a blinkin' miracle it is madam, a blinkin' miracle if ever I ‘eard one! Gawd bless yer Mr’ Leach sir - yer a bleedin' gentleman what ‘as put everythin’ back as ‘ow it was before. But hark - what’s this I hear…

fun to post again. hope it lasts. incidentally, at my place of employment, exactly one year ago our corporate server migrated from one content management system to another. It was a major horror show for 24 hours. deja vu
