Decided to take on a new project this afternoon while pondering how to come up with a costume for Halloween this year. I've elected to shoot for the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern. Examples of the costume can be found here and here. I could have tried the seemingly easier Hal Jordan costume, but I wanted to try something a little more contemporary ( Read more... )

I've been going through a slump lately. A recent allergy outbreak results in severe nasal congestion that has me spewing gobs of mucus constantly throughout the day. Not a pretty picture, as I'm sure you can ascertain. The endless honking, as I force the blockage out of my pressurized nose leaves my head throbbing in pain, thus causing a slight ( Read more... )

I've really gotten into the anime .Hack//Sign and attempted to make my first animated gif based on the show. I was hoping to use it as a LJ icon, but the file's too big. This is the picture. Not bad for a first try, if I do say so myself (and I do). The colors are a bit pixelated, but I don't know how to get around that. Are there different kinds ( Read more... )

I really enjoyed listening to Dave Eggers offer a tale of a pre-pubescent ten year-old and Zadie Smith's ( Read more... )

It's been another few months without an update and I blame procrastination, insecurity, and lack of motivation. All of which are my own fault. It often seems like the hardest thing to do is begin, and it's not like keeping focused is much of a downhill slope. Everything is an uphill climb that seems like a pointless effort the more I think about it ( Read more... )

Whatcha think? New text color, transparent content boxes, Nightcrawler... does it feel like home? So far, I think I'm making sufficient progress.

New changes to my LJ page. Guess I should have made use of the help options available in the first place, heheheh. Just wish I could figure out how to alter the color of this text. ;P I hates pink ( Read more... )
