20:49:46 [Mom]: NEWS!!! (Like anyone doesn't know this already) I just visited 50 random members...46 were looking for "friends" No art...writing...can you believe it?


*sigh*

I had a talk about photographing artwork for publicity purposes. I also had a talk about Intellectual Property Rights. Now these are both topics of interest fro Elftowners, so I will use the notes of the lecturers to make ET-adapted article-versions of both, because I think places like SPADNAA or even Herald might be interested. So I'll be coughing up some kind of textual ET-contributions soon. :) *likes to contribute stuff since still can't contribute money* I'll see if I can borrow a friend's paypal at any point (I'd borrow Darling's but he's anti-ET)

*edit*
The copyright and intellectual property -wiki here in ET is already very complete and clear, I'm not sure if I'dd have anything to add to that. I could try to do an introduction to patenting, but I'm not quite sure that many Elftowners would be inventors nor have any interest in that... But the photographing art is still worth thinking, since so often people put a bad quality image in contest and say "sorry don't have a scanner". That's no excuse. Even if you have a scanner but don't know how to use it, you'll get bad quality. You just need to know how to take a picture of a drawing, and not many people know the technicalities...

:O

Useful references if I ever go for that Donald Duck fan-arty cover drawing thing... *wants*

From a memberhouse:
If you REALLY LIKE SOMEONE right now AND MISS THEM and can't get them out of your head then

I swear that was it. That was the very end of the bio. Nothing after 'then'. I know it was prolly a mistake, but I appreciate the philosophical quality here: "if you miss someone then... decide for yourself what the hack you should do you worthless lazy worm. Copy-pasting shit is not going to prove anything! Do something about it!"

I need to mention the thing that made me smile yesterday.

I went to home for lunch, and as I walked by the quite busy big road, a white VolksWagon van came from the opposite direction. A young guy was driving, and as he passed, he honked his horn, except it wasn't a horn-sound but the sound of Tarzan flinging from tree to tree ("Ooooleoooleoooleeooleoo!"). I was smiling at the cool honk-sound, he was smiling because he made me smile (I hope :P). It was cool.

Ok foreigners, help me out. :P
one more.

Proof that you can't always go right and sound cool by choosing a Japanese username:

A user here in their house explains about how their nickname came to be and what it means. Unfortunately sometimes a word in one language means 'victory' (japanese) and in another (hindi) that same word means 'women's underwear'. o.O;; I have problems in replying that member's comments without laughing really loudly, and I try not to do that because I don't know how an offensive word iippo is in some language. But still, Nickers is a funny word to use as a name.

Last visitors of [ippopa] (hope you see the link why I find it funny):

This house gets visited by more people I know than my house does! :O

On a march of twelve miles, eleven is halfway.

Song of today (and every fucking day of yet another unbearable winter): Alanis Morissette - I'm a bitch I'm a lover

I hate the world today
You're so good to me I know
But I can't change...

Spring, don't keep me waiting.

Squeee I got third place in song styles. *first ever ET-art contest recognition (photo contest doesn't count)*

And dudelars, seriously. Star watching X-Men Fan Art Contest Revisited. That is going to be some of the most stunning fan-art ever. Go there now to see [Rennie]'s entry. It is fabulous.

**Update**
You missed it. The fabulous entry by [Rennie] is now only in the page history, because even she is taking the contest so seriously that she thought she could do better than that amazing piece of Rogue and Wolverine she had up. By now you really need to start watching that contest.

sorry, need to bring this up again:

Today's goal: to eat the whole roast chicken alone.
Today's wish (not in accordance with Today's Goal): I wish Darling will come and help me eat the roast chicken.

Both failed :(
