good times
Ha. Much better about posting too much these past few days. Know why? Super good times. :)
Saw pirates. Dressed as a pirate (badly) with penciled on curly mustash and pointy beard and chest hair! I thought the movie was superfun, even though it apparently got a lot of bad reviews. Of course, if you go to it looking for the meaning of life or something, you'd be disappointed. If you go for superfun, non annoying (and I'm very picky about certain hollywood cliches) pirate quasi-fantasy adventure, it's perfect. Some people found it too long (it IS 2hrs 45 min) and I've heard a few people say it was full of plot holes, but I didn't really notice. Was some unfortunate and very-lame drama after because of planning issues, but whatever.
Friday: crash at 1am after mostly working out drama. Saturday: get up at 6am for herp show :) Herp show went pretty well, sold a lot of snakes and all my current non-feeders (I had a few that did not eat their f/t once or twice, and had them for sale for $5 as non-feeders. Normal pricing on them is $15-25, depending on morph) So I don't have to worry about/deal with them, which is nice. I'll give a more in-depth account of the show on my herp filter later. :)
Then as soon as I get back off to DuClaw's to hang out with G and Canus and Jessup. Had much deliciousness and then we all hung out at G's watching bad horror movies (KIBAKITCHI ROCKS!!!) and makin stuff. I managed to finish the basic structure of my left paw for my fursuit (still need to finish it). I'm way too pleased with it; to the point, in fact, I'm leery of putting on fur for fear of ruining it. 'Cause this is all new for me and I'm never quite sure if things will look the way I think they should. But whatever. Part of life, of striving, is to take that risk. Worst comes to worst, I can duplicate everything I've done so far and make it again (good thing too, otherwise I'd only have one hand!)
One thing that does mildly concern me about them though: I'm a sloppy concept artist. I'm really bad at finishing my work. Like, making it really nice and polished. Yeah, I'm sketchy. For example, I made sculpy claws to fit over my fingers... I know some people are really ninja with the stuff and can smooth it perfectly and add all sorts of nice details (like skin folds and stuff). I tried to smooth it but on close inspection, there's all kinds of irregularities and general crudeness. I probably won't care, but I hope some day I won't look at them and wish I'd just refined things a bit more :P
Sunday: get up at 11 to go to work, where I am now, purifying DNA for virus prep. WOO, I'M GONNA MAKE A VIRUS! :D
List of things to do today:
1) put remaining baby snakes away, feed ones that didn't go and need it (no time yesterday!)
2) add links to my site :P Haven't updated links in months and there's a couple super-swanky comics I've started on that I should have added a while ago.
3) clean. Clean like the wind.
4) call chris (aieee, hello!!) :D
5) if there's any time left, work on making other paw
also if there's any more time left: work on comic, exercise :P
Oh yeah, more excellence on the horizon: DC webtoonist meet tuedsay. Always hightly enjoyable. I need to get all my San Diego Comicon crap together to give to Impink!
Life is good. Really, really good.
Th-th-th-that's all for now, folks!
