Help me out with this one, guise.  My domain name expires early March.  I can renew for 2 years or start all over again with a new name.  I still like Overthrown.nu and I would be sad to give it up, but I also feel like I need to move on and create a portfolio and focus on more grown-up things.  What is your opinion ( Read more... )

Some of the best trash TV topics.

I'm bored, and if you're bored as well, you can waste your time going through this post.  I've been into Asian music since I was 12 but only recently started building my European/World collection.  It's much harder to find European artists, which both baffles me and makes complete sense.  I run into a lot of pop/dance that's so contrived even I can ( Read more... )

My friend just showed me this archive of the Socially Awkward Penguin.  It is like a biography of my life, omg.

I'm trying to sketch again.  I'm probably going to jinx myself by saying that, but it's true.  I have a definite style, the problem is I don't like it.  It's a mix between Western comic/Disney and I want something sharper and more detailed.  I try mimicking other artists but my lines always end up too curved and cartoony.  I don't even know, people ( Read more... )

The comprehensive guide to avoiding huge ships.  Read the reviews on the side column.  This is why I love people on the internet.

Operation: Christmas Pants is a bust.  It's going to be Christmas Skirt again this year.  I think I've been doing well not overeating at meals and I've been walking every day on the treadmill, but pilfering Christmas cookies has surely been counter-productive.  Here's to New Years.

I somehow don't feel as in the Christmas spirit as previous years.  ( Read more... )

I had a great Thanksgiving, per usual.  The family gets smaller every year though, with people living out of town or leaving throughout the night to visit other family ( Read more... )

It's starting to feel like Fall, finally. The weather's been cooler, the darkness swallows me at 4 pm, the sadness is overwhelming. Had my first eggnog this season and it was amazing. The grocery store doesn't sell alcoholic eggnog (do I have to go to a liquor store? wtf), but they are selling some interesting flavored eggnog this year. ( Read more... )
