Just posted the rest of the current chapter of malefic, feels good to have it done. next one feels really daunting and while I want to crack on with it I feel like taking a break from it. But my mind is on it and I can get into doing anything else. frustrating.

I know that feeling. I have 28 more pages of Mask of the Aryans complete and plenty of time but will I start the first Robofemoid sequel? Nope, too into Mask.

Vegimit is yummy! Enough of your Neptunian butthollery! -The trick is never to eat it fresh- You must leave it to mature like a good wine.

Not technically true at all really. The companies just had diversified overseas interests… It was more like ohaving a controlling share in a number of businesses in companies that had share iin a number of companies that have share in something else that make food somewhere else.
Even today it's still always just continued as a local product with the same label all these years- Kraft foods back then wasn't the same sort of company it is today. Eeven now Vegemite is WAY more Aussie than something like Holden is or has ever been.

I like Vegemite ^__________^

…All our New Zealanders are gorrrn… prolly the Christchurch earthquake :(

OH HO! Thank you for clearing that up for me. Now I don't feel so bad about it.


But I still think it tastes like Neptune's Salty Butthole, which is far better than Marmite however. That stuff tastes like I have a hairy old man in my kitchen, and every morning I put toast underneath him and say “All right frank, do what you do best!”

I'm so unaustrlaian to dislike Vegemite.

But its cool, I make up for it by eating lots of tim-tams and using swear words as adjectives.

Finished Mettaur's Mafia request. I don't take requests usually, but I really liked the idea he came up with, along with the characters he suggested. I mean, Mad Hatter and a Mafia Godfather in the one picture? Hectic! Plus, he drew me a little something as payment, which was very nice of him.

I'd post it here, but I'm becoming a bit of a forum whore… so maybe not.

Last request for a while though, I've got more important stuff to do, like… Essays and Assignments and comics and breathing. Breathing is important.

Ok Oz, you totally have to bring me vegemite when you come to the States. I've been hearing about this stuff for like, four years or something. It's time.

be warned, it is certainly an unusual taste, not for the faint hearted.

Isn't vegemite the same as marmite?

Eh, I tend to like unusual tastes. And I'll eat anything once. (heh.) I just want to put an end to the maromite vs. vegemite debate that's torn me asunder for years. Having never tried vegemite… I.JUST.DON'T.KNOW.

Nah. There's a difference.

Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. Vegemite is firmer and slightly sweeter than other yeast extracts.

Marmite is a savoury spread made from yeast extract, also a by-product of beer brewing, but doesn't include the vegetable and spice additives. It is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive and powerful taste.

They're similar, but dear god, there is a huge taste difference.

Step 1. Find and Australian.
Step 2. Find an Englishman.
Step 3. Ask them for their savoury spreads.
Step 4. Spread on toast.
Step 5. Try not to die.
Step 6. ?????
Step 7. PROFIT!

That, madame, is my plan indeed. Hence the request for savory spreads. >:)

Sounds like Australia's full of American frat boy rejects.

I have nothing more to add.

There was never a Voltron, there were only Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV (had to look up full titles but I remembered GoLion/Dairugger XV).

The Lion “voltron” is obviously GoLion and the vehicle one is Dairugger… and the name Voltron was just invented for the American dub that somehow tried to link the two series.

Same as with Robotech being actually Macross, Southern Cross and some third series I forgot the title of.

Today was slow with sketching (only one character and reassigned the “face” from another to yet another one, heh) but that's ok, I'll try to catch up in the evening.

Meanwhile I'm watching my buffer run dry… got only 11 pages left, which is about a month of updates :(

My exact everyday life:
Wake up, check inbox, post on this thread.

Come home, read everyone's posts and check inbox.
Play chess again.
Post on forum.

I keep having a re-curring dream. Basically I take a class at college but I never go to it for one reason or another. So my parents are basically paying for a class i haven't attended in a month, yet i'm too afraid to actually show up or tell them. There's no way for me to pass the class either. It's a borderline nightmare really.

I shall take a small jar- aged to just the right taste.
Last time I took over those little plastic tub things with the foil tops- BIG mistake. Those tasted foul… sharp, icky, like salty acid.
Generally I think if you like beer and things like Kalamata olives and capers and stuff, then you might like Vegemite.

I like the daily routine thing here…
OK, I see where this is going. Ozone's daily routine:

I guess that was the practice in the 80s. Animation studios cut and paste foreign animation and put it all out for kids to see it. Even the Power Rangers suffer from this. Voltron had certain scenes cut out and we were told all the aliens that were suffering were androids. Man, I was a gullible kid… Robotech was three seperate animation series pasted together, but thanks to censors lots of stuff got cut out (like that scene after Fokker got hit there was a lot of blood on his fighter's seat, and a lot more on his back when he was at his girlfriend's place).

Also, Voltron isn't very remembered in Japan (where it came from) because when it came out there were a ton of giant robot shows already out there, and kids were feeling burnt out by the overwhelming number of them. Meanwhile, the kids in the U.S. have never seen a lot of giant robot shows, so when “Voltron” shows up they were floored by what they saw. I wish I had known about the amount of butchering the series had recieved at the hands of censors, though…

There's something about poetry lately that's been gripping me by the throat. The way poets have of arranging the ink on a page… it makes me jealous. But who am I kidding? I'm such a bleeding heart, I was never born wax poetic about it. Ce la vie.

@Lonnehart

Yeah, when summer comes along I'll have the Holidays, but they don't start until December. I have a logn wait until then, its winter and I'm freezing my arse off.

And haha, yes I have a cat, I've got lots of animals. But she's the most amusing, her name is Poo and she would like to see Fugly, but she's been locked out of the study room where we're keeping him.

——–

Speaking of Fugly, he's doing much better. He's completely weened off baby food, and is eating lots of seed. I think he might have broken both legs, because he doesn't use them or grasp with either of his feet. But he's getting around on his elbows, using his wings for stability, its actually kind of funny. His Fungal infection has cleared up, and we're definately going to keep him.

Mum wants to rename him.

I keep telling her, Fugly is what he is and Fugly is his name.

Totally signed up for Mafia because I give into peer pressure like a pro and I thought “I'm on here all the time anyway, so I might as well.”

SO. NOW I'VE SIGNED UP FOR MAFIA.


NOW SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT I DO.

you get your role
You don't tell ANYONE your role.
You run for mayor. (or leader of sometype)
You vote to lynch the bad guys, (or the innocent if you're bad)
Don't tell anyone your role.
Do your night action if you have one.
Don't tell anyone about fight club.

I think the kidney stone is on the move. But i'm not sure.

Thaaaankyou Seventy, I've steadily piecing together what is happening.

Oh and on the subject of your kidney stone.


It's moving south for the Winter.

It's summer here. a very warm and cold one at that.
I don't care about the pain, the sooner it's out the better. I hate office work, and if it leaves i can pull a 6 month deployment. It's gonna be awesome. so i'm rooting for it. but i don't know how a kidney stone is supposed to feel. I've heard everything from “crippling pain” to “oh hey look! a kidney stone in the toilet, well whattya know!”

I am aware of the seasons, I just have terrible jokes :D

I hope you get better from your migrating kidney stone, which migrates despite the abscense of winter.

Testing out a brand new machete I bought (after I shattered the last one which was made in China). Gotta love that feeling…. wrapping the hand around that nicely shaped handle, raising the blade into the air, then watching as everything in front of you comes apart… from showers of woodchips to spurts of thick white sap…

Ah… nothing feels greater than clearing an overgrown lawn (thanks to plants that grow several feet high per week thanks to the rain)… and the sound of my 22 inch Machete going right through the vegetation like a hot knife through butter. Well… it'll sound that way ‘til it’s dulled when I use it enough… :)

If that kidney stone doesn't come out, maybe I can use my brand new swinging blade to cut it out? :evil:

My daily routine(shouldn't this be its own thread? Oh well):

Wake up
Try to go back to sleep
Cat notices I'm awake
Cat makes sure I stay up
Get dressed
Eat a bagel
Go to art class
Come home
Eat a peanut butter sandwich
Internet/Spider Solitaire time
Work on art while watching movies/tv shows/youtube videos
Scrape together dinner(if I remember)
Work
More internet time
Shower
Eat fruit
Sleep

wow… I guess I'll be working on Magiversity. Hopefully this tablet won't give me too much trouble. It feels very different from my last tablet…

heh… I should really be careful with this pen nib. The Digipro does a good job at drawing… except that it feels rough on the pad and has no eraser function (forcing me to select the eraser from the toolbox)…

Oh yeah… I was a Robotech tragic. STIll am in a lot of ways, though I never went so far as to get the video games or the crappy comics or even the crappy novels- just the cartoons and a couple of toys.

I've bought and watched the entire series of both Super Dimension Cavalry of the Southern Cross (or whatever it's called), and Mospeeda Genesis climber in their original formats. So I know all the bits that were cut out and changed around. They're not bad, but the conversion they did to make them into Robotech did actually improve them, if you can believe it.
The only thing that's better about seeing the originals is that some of the details of the technology and weapons, social structures of the societies, costume details etc make much more sense.

As for Macross (the first series of Robotech), I've only seen the hacked up video they made of it (“Do You Remember Love”), not the full series. It was pretty good though!

Late last year I bought the remastered full set re-release of Robotech and I'm still slowly working my way though it. They left in ALL of the previously censored stuff, so there're lots of nude scenes in the shower, panty-shots, any cheeky sexy stuff, blood, people dying. None of that is cut, which is nice.
The only thing I didn't like what that they changed the original opening and closing credit scenes so instead of showing stuff from all series along with those cool sound effects on the original, now they only show scenes from the original series that you're watching and the sound effects are lame.
It's a shame since the original opening and closing credits of Robotech were almost better than the show itself.
