Use to dream about drawing and animating my characters. Even bought an animation program even though my computer at the time was too weak to run it... and the manual was the size of a phonebook. Even studied anime figurines to get an idea of how 2D features could be turned 3D in this program. Wanted to share my characters with more people ( Read more... )

I didn't want to mention the bin Laden thing since it was a bit creepy. I mention him in a post and five days later he is dead. Weird coincidence.

Alright, I have never read anything related to A Song of Fire and Ice, but it is hard to ignore the clamor after poking the trailer from HBO. So, I'm admitting that I have read some of you commenting about it in Livejournal and I just pan over it and forget ( Read more... )

So, trying to get a hold of Becca to see if she really does want us to visit her seems to have driven her underground and offline.

That's right. Just the mere threat of me visiting someone is enough for them to vanish from the face of the earth.

Now you know why we can't find bin Laden.

Didn't know a tornado had just laid waste to the place as we were passing. Drove through several bouts of driving rain. Hit driving snow around one of the many times we crossed the West Virginia ( Read more... )

Tired all the time. Cranky all the time. More absentminded than usual. I might need a vacation. But then that part of my mind starts nagging away that I don't do enough work to justify a vacation.
