God... this sickness is starting to get really hellish. Hot, cold, hot, cold, nauseus, coughing, randomly sore all over. Money's getting tight lately, so we can't get anything to eat ATM...

Anyhow! The LBTL Olympics were fairly fun, but I got major sick on the way back home so now im miserable with an insanely bad cough and throat. Its what I get for sitting by a smoky fire all day, and warriors smoking the rest of the time.

Visual Com, 5th 6 weeks of school. We start cartooning.

<3.

Wes is going to be my project for the grading period exam, the 3D model I'll make in the next one, and is getting lots of practice. I'm starting to master wes in cartoon form.
Ooh. And I drew a pretty lil' bat girl. And borrowed [Hummingbird] for a few quicky practice draws >> (Sorry Laura, your characters are just too much fun to draw ^^;)

From the World of Warcraft General Forums :) I'm the one who started the thread. woot!

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?FN=wow-general&T=7757100&P=1



Excerpts:

That's ok, you can still play General Forum drinking games.

Every time someone complains about their Tier .5 set, take a drink.

Every time someone theorizes about the new Alliance race, take a drink. If they think it is wisps, take two drinks.

Every time someone cries that their class is being nerfed, take a drink. If it is a hunter, finish the glass.

Every time a casual complains about arrogant raiders, take a drink.

Every time a raider complains about whiny casuals, take a drink.

Every time a poster holds a Community Rep personally responsible for development of game content or server maintenance, bash your skull in with your keyboard and take a drink.
--------------
From Tseric (Community Manager, aka a blue)
- the unprovoked "fanboi" response: should anyone retort to a reasoned counter-argument not even referencing any love/concern for Blizzard with "looks like the fanbois are out today"; take one drink

- take one drink for each reposting of the same argument presented earlier in the thread due to posters who do not follow the thread; take two drinks if the post follows a full rebuttal of all points in the original point.

- take one drink for any post incorporating the following terms/phrases:

unacceptable

slap in the face

censorship

Blizzard hates/loves/other human-emotion-attributed-to-a-company.

"how hard is this to understand?"
------
Quoted by Another blue!

You forgot "biased".

Also, I believe the misspelling of the word "blatant" as "blatent" deserves its own category.

--------
New rules:

Stop playing the General Discussion Forum Drinking Game(tm) if the following symptoms occur:

1. All the rods/cones in your eyes fail except for green

2. If your extermities begin to tingle or begin groping co-workers

3. If you boss comes in and says "Why is Dana on the floor? It's not Friday, is it?"

4. You start thinking the temp from Accounting has a really cute shape..."Sure she's about 220, but she's real proportional for someone that's five-foot three"

5. You see more than 2 Blue posts in a thread about the General Forum Drinking Game(tm)

6. You've gone through the good liquor, er soda, proceeded to the cooking sherry..or Clamato and have to leave the house/office to get more.

6a. And you can't find a place that delivers

Friends don't let friends play the General Forum Drinking Game(tm) and drive.

*long sigh* I love music.

I can't be on very often since my brother when not hand-and-hand with his girlfriend Sara is usually IM-ing her and/or all his friends from school and Dagorhir.

I'm actually involved in it now myself. Faust (my character) is basically just Wes, thrown into the Aethenu world. Meaning, lotsa humans, dwarves, orcs, and a drow.

Faust's tunic is very Wes-like. Green with a white border, a proper tabard-length deal with the Aethenu gryphon at the neck. Tie on a blue-green patterned cloth around my head, and bam. Faust. I wish I could find the pics or YouTube videos. I'm not in the vids though.

Anyhow! *sweatdrop* My original comment.

Since my bro is away in Chicago with Sara, moms taking him to Valpo where Sara's mom will pick them both up, and my dad is up in Michigan until saturday with our cat whose having a few non-lethal but large issues to visit his mom, my grandma, and a friend of the family whose a vet. And ya know how cats love car rides :) 2 1/2+ hour ones x_X

Dah! Sidetrack.

That means I got the computer most of the day, and bro was nice enough to leave WMP with the OverClock Remix playlist of classic video game song remixes. I love the mario ones. The Sunken Suite one is SOOOOO relaxing...

Craptop, part 3. Now its the very MONITOR. x.o bottom left corner, a blotch and above it a slash of black, nonworking pixels, outta nowhere. Sends white lines across the bottom making it rather hard to see, and even the whole screen can get line-filled randomly. Pressure near the spot above the slash clears the top, but nothing works for the bottom.

Thats it. Its going in for repair. again.

Okay. The lappy is pissing me off. It works about once a day, for about 2-10 minutes. Then dies. And won't come back. -__-;... oh well.
At least I can still play... ugh... Warcraft 3... Its just not a substitute for WoW... But! I am doing more work on O.o the Order of Inari map I was making way back when.
Someones actually shown interest about again, outta nowhere.
I must have re-written the outline for LoI 2 about half a dozen times now. *sigh* Why can't I be obsessed with just ONE thing at a time? :/

Oh! Once my craptop stops being an ass, I'll probably have a TON of properly cartoon cartoon drawings to scan in; Its what we're doing in Visual Com now. Later, it'll be animations :D Unfortunately, my zip drive is maxed out with need-to-keep files in case lappy gets erased in the fixing process :o So I'd have no way to provide them. Someone apparently went to Elftown before at my school and its blocked. They have something against pretty much anything online thats not research, email, on the system or My Space. :0 My Space but no ET? W.t.F.

Just figured out how to at least temporarily fix it, just squeeze and press the corner with the wireless thing in the right direction, and pray hard. But then, I had a similar solution with the audeo port, and that failed, and ended up breaking, damaging the power supply systems, and sound systems.

I think I need an update.

-Gonna be leading a group of Daggorhir warriors in a demonstration battle series at Valparaiso for a school project.
-Gonna give a speech against the systematical eradication of christianity in the world, specifically, the de-christmasing of christmas.
-Gonna continue to be addicted to World of Warcraft as I finally start gaining higher levels and making money.
-Gonna beat the crap outta my laptop if it doesn't stop scaring me with my internet connection option randomly vanishing on me, and having strange freeze-ups, etc.

Oh. And I'm gonna go cry if I can't even get at /least/ a "thats nice/good/etc" on my new art. And pout if I can't get any criticism.

XD Oh my god. This is what I find when I start name-surfing on Elfpack; someone else who loves fchan flash music videos. A really really weird one.
(tracked it back to Newgrounds, since the original one I found on someone's EP house was on fchan :3

*dances to a nice techno beat of the OC Remix of Banjo Kazooie* damn, that was a great game >< myu.

Been putting that sketchbook I got to good use =D
-A few random sketches
-one of the Reanimator (Zarla) and Nightmare Before Kefka OC Remix things I had for the flash animation (Wes is starting to look more and more fox-like)
-A genaric manga character in the manga pose of one leg forwards, holding gun in perspective, so generic even though I made it all up, the teacher thought I copied it from a manga :X (yeah, a human, for once)
-Another generic pic, Wes lounging around in the grass sleepily with a butterfly perched on the tip of his muzzle. Yeah, I know, its been done 40 times before XP I REALLY love the way his face turned out, especially for a side-view.
-A banner for Elftown Foxes which still needs to be colored/scanned just like all the rest.

Many things happened while I was MIA.

Lemme thinkzie.
1. Wrote another half-chapter for that old series, you know, the one that I started writing, but no one bothered to read? But I won't post it until someone specifically asks for it. Its also taking on a much more distinct Redwall flavor, see below.
2. Read that new book in the series, Rakkety Tam. The name may sound 'daft' but Tam's a semi-northlander; I think the name sounds rather Irish-ey which fits his type.
3. Discovered that the sound thingy works insanely well, and the mouse absolutely sucks.
4. Watched all the DVDs we got with my dad, since I live in the basement where the really good TV and incredible new surround sound system are. Watched the first 6 hours of the 1st season of 24 (must admit, not a bad show even if it can feel a bit CSI or whatever at times) and (though i hadn't seen the second set) watched the next installment of Hellsing. Geej. I though the new Redwall book was morbid. (look somewhere later on for that)
5. Tried drawing. Failed badly; came up with a badly-done Wes, a mediocre comicstrip-like Zanno, a weird dagger-weilding Wes pic that kept changing; its actually upside down from the original picture -_-; I fudged it. As did I on the Elven pic I did, which started out as a broad-grinning Wes, then a side-on view, then a lot of erasing, an adjustment of hairstyle and somehow, wound up as an eraser mark-scarred High Elf, which I then gave up as nothing more than just the head (I'm starting to get really bad with faces having to be just-so; most of my art looks horrible because I have too much detail or inconsistant style in 9 outta 10 tries.



My review of the newest paperback Redwall book (theres a newer one, but its hardcover only)


  Okay, here are the basics. Rakkety Tam McBraw is a squirrel mercinary who with another mercenary squirrel Doogy, a genuine highlander, complete with a thick Scottish dialect, goes on a quest and bla bla bla. Healer mouse and a relation of Skipper who laughs alot since she things everything is so damn funny meet up with them, and come back to Redwall, and throughout, its 'cuz there are two creatures there, new to the RW series; wolverines, from the icy north. If ya know your biology, wolverines eat damn near anything. They're not liked in the series cuz the main guy along with his 100 fighters, arctic foxes and ermine (a sort of frost-weasel) all eat their enemies. At least it doesn't go into TOO much detail. Only other reference ta this kinda thing was Legend of Luke, where Folgrim the otter likewise used to make his meals by rats, but he mellowed out. Eventually, hes whacked (like it would end any other way?) but oddly, I couldn't place it chronologically; sometime after Redwall's bell was reforged into the smaller pair, but other than that. *shrug*

Also bought the originall Redwall, and Outcast of Redwall, which I'm either missing, or forgot about and have in storage in my old room XP doesn't hurt to have extra copies of them though.




Hung out at cousins house! This I make special note of, because I told my cousin Jackie, who has a DA account, that I have all mine on here. Didn't give my screen name though, since my password is the one I use for WoW; I can't get on it unless I grab the pass manually, since its the kind you have to memorize, and I hate that kinda stuff. She totally shows me up in art skill though T_T meh, I've still got my writing. Like anyone seems to care :x

Meh... I'm out!

Awesome :D I got a special USB headphones adaptor thing, so I can once again use headphones on this. Too bad the optical mouse is wireless, since its a pain in the ass trying to get its pathetic signal to work, so it looks like I'm sticking to touchpad. *sigh*

I got a crudload of art supplies; a nice, new sketchbook, 50lb paper (one of my favorite paper weights, so long as I have a nice hard surface to write on) a ton of pencils, pens, and a professional grade set of colored pencils, along with a nice pen, for inking. (I'll try it, but I wont like it XP)

Also, my bro got me one of the newest Redwall books ^^ That'll be fun for the trip to michigan. If you didn't know, we're leaving today for our yearly visit to the grandparents and relations. We'll be gone until late on wednesday.

My bro loved the poster I photoshopped for him out of a Hellsing pic, of which he got the 3rd set of episodes today. My FLCL one turned out well too; theres just the problem of the place putting the hangers upside-down. Even the one for hanging it vertically is wrong (it'd work if I hung it vertically, but the wrong side has the hook for that too), same with my bro's.

I also got a Foamy t-shirt from my bro, with a quote from the Coffee House episode (Hope you choke on a biscotti.) :P Ah... what else... hm, can't have been that great if I can't remember.

Oh yeah, saw The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe a few days ago. It was great :) loved the fox, naturally, especially his last line.
SPOILER!
Fox: My appologies, your majesty.
Jadis: Skip the formalities, traitor.
Fox: Not to be rude, but I was not talking to you. *looks at Edmund*

Finally, a fox is a good guy. Sneaky and sly as ever, but a good guy :)
