feeling a bit down today, not sure why.

Maybe it's all this constant thing going over in my head… something like this:

“oh, I should work on project A, so it's long, updates often and has a lot of volumes,. but wait, I'd really like to work on project D cause it's inspired by european artists so I could do these 6 books, but htat would take ages and besides I don't think I'm ready for this one skill-wise yet so how about project I in which I get to draw vampires in b/w and it's just a single THICK volume… but maybe I should do another short comic in color or in b/w or finally draw project R or how about the project L cause it's first script I finished and it's sitting around but it needs rewrites so maybe project S that needs LESS rewrites and was the first script I wrote for MYSELF (as opposed to L that was for someone else), nah, I should work on project A… or X? or…” and so on.

AAAARGH!

Maybe I should start drawing ALL OF THEM at once :/

Nice to hear your pigeon is doing okay. Still not sure why pigeons are considered pests. Sure they may have diseases, but what exactly are they doing to make themselves classified as such?

Here's BBC's take on the subject. It not so much what a single pigeon does, but more that there are so many of them now. Collectively they're doing allot of harm to people.

I've also heard that their droppings are corrosive, meaning that they can shorten the lifetime of bridges that they frequent.

Fricken morons! They said “Moby, electrocuted on stage”… Morons. “Electrocuted” mean you fricken DIE, turns out he was just shocked. Massive, massive, huge, difference baby = dead/not dead. Pick one and win.

This is weird to say, but…man, thanks for knowing that. “Shocked” and “electrocuted” are used interchangeably so much that the definition of “electrocuted” is actually changing, but I wish it weren't, since the difference between those words is actually useful and descriptive!

It's just like people using “enormity” rather than “magnitude.” “Enormity” was a useful word too…

Most waste is corrosive. The problem with pidgeons is they breed like rabbits (maybe even faster) and then you have 100 million(exaggerated guesstimate) birds pooping on bridges. And from wikipedia, they can breed year round because they are super scavengers. Laying eggs up to 6x a year.

Aurora, you really should do all of them at once. And then subconciously, you'll begin to work more on the one that you really want to work on. eventually it'll be the only one you're working, but at least you got started on the other projects.

I think we have an entire thread about “what you say differently” or something along those lines. We should totally drag it back since there is apparently a difference between a brit and an austrailan, and a Eastern austrailian and a western one.

I make almond meal pancakes. They come about as thin as crepes, but you can taste all the ingredients better. When someone makes regular pancakes, i can only taste bread and whatever syrup i throw on there.

I did sprints today, as i have to improve my run time. I love looking at the overall calculator. It makes me feel really athletic.
as in:
My total distance was 1.37 miles. My total time ran was 7:29.
That's the kind of speed i want, and a little faster than what i need.
Then my last 100 meter sprint was 14 seconds. The pace came out to a 3:45 mile. That makes me feel, Like a boss

It also baffles me that people get it wrong. need to make comic pages. CANNOT. maybe tomorrow.

Some shit about the words “Shocked” and “electrocuted”

But shocked is pretty vague! If you say “I received a shock” you'd then have to say “No I mean literally, not in the sense that I was surprised, I was actually electrocuted.” then the person you're talking to will say “WRONG, THAT MEANS YOU DIE, YOU MEANT SHOCKED.”

AND IT NEVER STOPS.

Here's my proposal:
Shocked = Surprised
Electrocuted = Received an electric shock but survived
Thunder fucked = Killed by electricity

I know thunder isn't lightning, but it's got alliteration, so it really rolls off the tongue. Try it.

Thunder fucked….


Oh my word, my laptop has yet to be fixed! I made a Portal shark comic on that thing like 3 months ago, with the intent to finally update. (On April 1st, just to trick people in to thinking I'm tricking them, when I actually did update!)
The only possibility now is to make prequels to that comic. I know I had one in mind that I thought was funny, but then I forgot it! FUCK!
BETTER GET DAT LAPTOP FIXED SOON.

Umm, uhh… haha. Stop, before I seriously consider this! That'd be a mess, since I didn't even list half of my projects… but maybe I should work on a few at once, I don't have to update them daily or anythig, I could stockpile chapters/pages/whatever.

Wow… just like the Brown Tree Snake here… except that the pigeon is a cute bird. Brown Tree snakes are creepy, they bite, and they'll eat cute birds. And we're trying all kinds of methods to control the snake… 23 million of them on this 13x3-4 mile wide island. All our native birds are nearly gone. The Marianas Crow is as good as extinct right now. The local rails are doing a little better thanks to captive breeding centers. I'm pretty sure that if they could, the snakes would have pigeon chicks (like Fugly) for dinner…

Maybe I'll try my hand at video game reviewing. Well… just one problem. No game I review will get a score higher than a zero. Even great games such as Gran Turismo 5 and Dead Space 2 will get nothing but zeroes from me, and I'll even state why. And if the great creator diety created a game every game reviewer would probably give it a “perfect” score, but I'd give it a -5 for being TOO perfect. Causal gamers will probably understand what I'm doing, but hardcore gamers and hardcore fans of game series will probably send me death threats, assault me in public, and maybe even set my house/car on fire…

Breaking my tablet pen put a serious lag on my workload. I should have finished part 1 b now but I'm still lagging behind. -_- I really want to get started on writing my next comic, but I promised myself I'd start only after finishing part 1.

Someone
Electrocuted = Received an electric shock but survived
Thunder fucked = Killed by electricity

Thunder fucked is snappy but needless.

Electrocuted means death by electricity, nothing vague about that… until you get ozone started on the evolution of language and how meanings shift…

Oh my… I actually went through the list of my projects to find those that I could start working on in a fairly short amount of time…

…I found… SEVEN!

One of which falls off the list because I don't have large enough paper for it.
Two are vengeance stories, so I'd have to put the other one away anyway.
One needs massive amounts of visual research, so I could work on this one without doing any drawing for now.
One I'm technically working on (the short stories thing) and it's just couple more b/w pages to ink (and a 4-pager to possibly redraw cause the first version sucks, heh) and then I'll probably put it on hiatus afterwards so I guess that one's off too.

Soo, that means THREE!

#1. The long ongoing b/w title (I hope the new site has some better options for chapter updating)
2. The single b/w “vengeance” tale (which needs some minor rewrites and redesigns), possibly at 100-200 pages.
3. A color oneshot. 30 or so pages.

#2 finishes, gets replaced by the “long visual research” one, #3 gets replaced by “second vengeance comic that's in color” or the “large paper” one.

I have to sleep on this but I think this could be doable :D

(if I go with this, I could star pencilling within days and then just pick up inking whenever I get the nibs)

i double dog dare you.

Thunderfucked? Man, I leave you guys for one day…

I knew it, I heard it in your accent!

What is different about the WA accent?
I don't know it :(

I'm very good at recognising them. LOLJK, I just have a few Perth friends and I thought I heard it in your accent on the Quackcasts, hehehehe. Its just a subtle difference in the way you pronounce your A's and E's and U's compared to the rest of the states. Its difficult to explain, you just hear it. :/

There's actually differences all around Australia, I've notcied, South Australian's pronounce their “a”s like the English, particularly in words like “Castle” or “Dance”, where as New South Welshmen and Victorian's don't because we're fucking lazy. Queenslanders I'm scared of because they all sound like Steve Irwin on a good day, Victorian's I'm not going to even bother listing because I dislike them strongly and the freak states of the Northern Territory, Tasmania and the ACT I haven't even heard because I'm sure they're just mythical lands, so I wouldn't know.

Of course, this is me being very closed-minded on the subject, my Society and Culture Teacher would not be proud.

AND ON THIS PANCAKE DEBATE, They're fucking pancakes.

And all the american “Muffins” I've seen are glorified cupcakes without icing :(


I've run into trouble using the term “pants” as well. Apparently, my English friend thought that by saying “Pants” I meant the aussie lingo of “Undies” or “Knickers.” She calls pants, in my world “Trousers” when I call them “Jeans/pants”

…And whiskers the kitten was returned safely to his family, in other news, MOBY THUNDERFUCKED ON STAGE, AN EYE WITNESS TOLD US OF THE INCIDENT: “IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST, HE WAS THERE ONE MOMENT THEN BOOM, HE WAS GONE, THUNDERFUCKED!”

@Aurora: Honestly, Seventy2's proposition isn't a bad one by any means. I know my list of projects (even when it got up to like..11) has nothing on you :p but I did the same sort of thing. Considered myself working on ‘em all at once, and just kept chipping away, and my intent for the other projects began slowly going away. It’s definitely something for the future, or rather a possibility. You don't necessarily have to do every single story you think of, but just try to relax and go with the flow, man. Work on maybe 1 or 2 at a time, you'll find yourself getting a lot more done.

Ayy dawg, yo momma so fat whenever her ass clap, e'rybody around her gets thunderfucked.

I'm going to draw myself into a coma tonight, brahs. should be awesome. STAY TUNED.

(And I do mean the literal draw, as in putting pencil/ink to paper. The coma however remains to be proverbial)

thunderfucked does not sound like it has anything to do with electricity - what it DOES sound like is a fart of atomic bomb proportion.

and if that's the case, the entire audience probably needed as much medical attention as Moby did

Oh I see, so no one likes my solution to this problem huh.

Well fine, you can all go thunderfuck yourselves! D:<

And I mean in a way that you'd die, not just receive a harmless electrocution!
Oh god, the problem isn't fixed at all D:

I love not having a sensible sleeping patterns. In my experience that's worse than having a horrid sleep pattern.

Oh well, I guess I'll just…Stay up all night…Drawing somethin…Maybe.

Fugly seems to be getting better. He's pecking around at the seed on the bottom of his cage which is a good sign, and he's eating again. But he's been having trouble walking, he uses his wings to pull himself along, and started to do a little foot shuffle thing this morning when I checked on him. He's not grasping my finger with his left foot, and not using his left leg to walk.

Mum's pretty certain he's got a broken leg, somewhere high up in his leg. Its not as big of a deal as it may sound, birds can survive with one leg, (seriously, how many seagulls are out there who are cripples?) but its just that he might be in some pain, which might also be the reason for him not wanting to eat the past few days.

But he is definately moving around a lot more now, and seems much better, but we're definately not going to be able to release him.

Nooooo Crocty! Thunderfucked is a fanastic term! I like it, I like it!

OH and I'm super lazy and haven't done any comics over the weekend. I'm so bad.

Wow… woke up with a weird idea for a comic… Fugly, the baby pigeon is minding its business when an evil Brown Tree Snake sneaks up, seeing a potential for a very big meal. Fugly just looks at it, then goes back to sleep. The snake gets ready to strike, but meets an unfortunate end…

Ending 1: The snake is knocked out by Mike Tyson
Ending 2: The snake is stomped on, then hacked to death by a female viking called “Granny Hips”

At the bottom of the last panel are some words… “Never mess with the pigeon belonging to Mike Tyson/Granny Hips”… O_O

Why Mike Tyson? The guy apparently loves them. In fact, he stated in that show on Discovery that the very first fight he had was with a 10 year old kid… who had ripped off the head of his pet pigeon…

Of course… if the thing attempts to eat my pet turtle it'll probably break its teeth… if I don't smash it into oblivion with my 50 pound 2 handed sledgehammer… :)

————-

Heh… found a coconut crab in the back yard. I just left it alone though since all it wants were the coconuts I've piled up in back. I'd eat them myself, but the stuff in them is bad for my health and the juice induces a very bad case of the runs… they're something I'd eat only if I had to. Same with the coconut crab. I hear it's very delicious, but in order to be able to eat the thing you have to feed it coconuts for a week or two to clean its system out. My neihbors would buy it from me for $50 or more depending on the size, but there's no way I'd do that to an animal that's just minding its own business…

Sure I have to draw every one. At least every good one I come up with, haha.

We'll see how this works out, today I'll be re-reading the scripts and notes, searching for existing designs etc.

You know what I thought about that post Lonnehart in the other thread where we both became confused.

Was in the mood to bake shit. I've never been in one of these moods before, and I've never baked anything in my entire life, but today I tried. I got out some Packet Cake mix, followed the instructions to a T. Mum comes in and she goes: “What the hell are you doing?”
And I'm all: “Bakin' a cake.”
And she's like: “Since when did you cook anything on your own?”
And I say: “Since I was in the mood to bake a cake!”
“You know you need to put milk in the mixture, right?”
“…shut up, I'm not competing on Masterchef for a reason, you know.”

Anyway, with mother's guidence I succesfully made a cake, shoved it in the oven and waited.

Ok, so I learnt the hard way that you're not supposed to open the oven to look at your cake. But I didn't know that!

First cake was a bust, it died.

But the second one was a success! :D


Covered it in bright blue icing because that's how a roll and I've already eaten a third of it. Its my cake, I'm entitled to stuff my face with it.

THAT is freakin' hilarious!
Personally, I think “thunderfucked” should replace “shocked”, because shocks happens more often than electrocution and that word deserves to be used as much as possible.
-Plus, it can easily replace “shocked” in its other meaning too.

Trying to draw up my next page. It's hard to draw when it's just not happening. -_-

I'm still trying to figure out how a post I meant to go here in General ended up in my pasta thread. Oh, well… stranger things have happened. Like that time when Drunkduck fell off the face of the Earth and at that time I realized I hadn't any archives of my comics… ow…

I wouldn't mind taking a vacation in Australia. I just have to remember that Australians aren't crazy like Mr. Conroy (some politician I've almost never heard of who wanted to censor the Australian internet the same way China sensors theirs), or like my eldest cousin's wife… She's Australian, and very, very… um… Let's just say she's like a time bomb. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING sets her off, and she'll start screaming and insulting you. What's worse is that her husband is EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!!! It's a headache dealing with them. Well, anyways…

I don't know why, but I find this old Star Trek Episode fascinating. I guess the idea of reattaching the brain to a body was something I thought impossible… Yes… that's right…

I have “Spock's Brain”!!! :)

*sees everyone giving him a horrified look, especially fans of Star Trek and the character of Spock…*

I mean the episode! THE EPISODE!!! Not that gray squishy matter organ. I'm not the monster that you think I…


*flees the area followed by a monster train of insane Star Trek fans attempting to fire their toy phasers at him on the “kill” setting…*

I was digging through some old drawings and stuff that my mum has kept from over the years, like some wombat origami artist. I found some hilarious things written when I was… I dunno three, four? And I'd like to share them with the world.

EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY, I CAN DO HUSBANDS.

And as you can see from this artist rendering of my father from when I was three, I was clearly cut out to be an artist when I was older.
