- 12:32 @prismaya That sounds more like it, let's go with that. #

- 17:09 #SvR10 XD I love it. By default, overall wise, Santino Marella is the weakest superstar on the roster. Should I be surprised? XD #
- 17:25 #SvR10 Should I even ask why it is that some dude shouted "Marry me!" in a match that had ALL GUYS? XD #
- 17:28 @JohnMarkel First, as far as the Rogues go, while it goes against my better judgment, put them all on SmackDown!. It's high time Raw paid... #
- 17:28 @JohnMarkel for it's sins. Secondly, you can't edit the music from a CAW you downloaded, so unless you just want them, they would be useless #
- 17:45 @ComradeIota 'EY. YOU CRAZY? Everyone loves Santino. It's that we're not supposed to, him being a heel and all. XD #

But the rating comm I attempted to start a while back,
I just wanted to know if people are still interested - there are three apps up, none of them stampable yet. If nobody's interested, I was probably just going to delete it. There's another rating comm I've been dying to start up, one I'll probably be better able to promote and run, so it'd probably just end up being a problem trying to hold onto a project that definitely won't be going anywhere.
If so, please, feel free to join and post! No sign of life in... probably even a week, and it's gone.
AHHHHHH sorry guys and gals, we're so swamped. We actually laid the groundwork for a new short that we think you'll enjoy - and Yuko started inking the first page - when we realized just how much work we have. ): Unfortunately our client stuff has gotta take priority, but we didn't want to leave you guys hanging.
With apologies out of the way, I can say it's pretty exciting to show the groundwork for Girl with the Skeleton Hand. This is typical of how Yuko works - character designs, I hand her a script, thumbnails, then pencils + inks + colors. That sounds nice and simple written out like that, but it's a surprising amount of work. There's also a lot of dialogue editing after the fact, often times because some nuance in a facial expression reveals something new. Anyway, hope you like the peek into Yuko's sketchbook!
Regarding the store - new reduced shipping prices are in effect! Always doing my best to reduce the final cost of something for your guys' sake, and I finally managed it. Oh, also: 2XL and 3XL Mawzantine mens shirts are now available, in very limited quantities!
That's all. We gotta get back to work - sorry to keep it so short! See you Thursday!
Oh man, last night's dream.
So. Alton Brown invites me over to his house - we're gonna hang out, maybe watch a DVD, cook some stuff, and just chill. But when I get there, I'm face to face with 5 world-famous chefs, all standing there in the kitchen, brightly backlit.
We're each supposed to make a spectacular dish using a particular ingredient. I think Morimoto got pine nuts. Someone else got filet mignon.
I got Goldfish crackers.
So I'm sort of freaking out, trying to figure out how the hell to make a gourmet presentation out of Goldfish. I settle for sort of a layered goat-cheese-and-rabbit-pate thing, and then attempt to arrange it artfully. The little crackers keep coming apart, sliding around on the ornate blue ceramic platter. The arrangement is terrible.
I'm already out the door as the other chefs tear into the dish, indignant that I sullied the competition with such a submission. I sigh heavily and leave through the garage door.
The next day, the Food & Life section of the newspaper boasts a gushing, glowing review of my Goldfish dish, complete with ass-kissing comments from the other chefs (who have apparently done a 180.)
Yeah I don't even know.
yesterday."
Joe: "Yes, she came crawling on her hands and knees."
Bob: "Really? What did she say?"
Joe: "Come out from under the bed, you coward."
The phrase "Go to the garden and dig, you know the garden at ARRRRRRGH......" might be fun.
Were I to expire in the presence of someone I loathed, I might utter a dying mans curse....
Of course the last words ALLAH AKBAR! in the presence of HM Govt.... and pull the string...
an effect ruined by mising the lanyard of the detonator and instead causing ones trousers to fall down and the pinker of the Party to combust with lust....
Family reaction. Dead? Who? Oh. Did he mention where he left the garden roller?
----------------------------------------
Let us not forget those famous last words to ones friends and associates:
HEY! HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!
What a day......
things are changing, for the better in many ways but it won't make my job easier and I'll bet it won't carry any more money.
Got my legs rewrapped, the skin is coming on well under the wrappings.
Did the laundry. Decided to have Fish & chips.... went to the usual place and texted Niece.
Guess what. 3 cod 1 plaice 4 chips 4 teas 4 cans 4 gherkins 4 mushy peas....
and BANG went my liquidity.
They gonna pay next time....
urp.

BUT IN BETTER NEWS trying to give myself something to do: meme time! It's been long enough I think, so I went ahead and revealed the correct answers to all the unguessed sentences in my last meme, so now here, have another! Using five books instead of four because I'm a dorky bookaholic
SWIPED FROM
- Take
- Write the first sentence
- Write the last sentence on page fifty
- Write the second sentence on page one hundred
- Write the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
- Write the final sentence of the book
- Let your friends guess what book it is.
BOOK ONE
- There was lipstick on his cheek.
- Not a man but a demon--a cold, cruel god--whose eyes were doorways into another world, a world of such terrible alien beauty that even as he threatened to devour her, even as the fire of her life flickered weakly before him, about to be extinguished, she longed to be drawn into his private night forever.
- "If they win. . . ."
- What a pity that you lacked your master's understanding of Us, a thousand voices mused aloud.
- In the dawn of a new world, Damien Vryce smiled.
- There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife.
- "I'm going down the steps now," he said.
- He knew he wasn't being told the whole story, and it irritated him.
- The woman had an ornate chain around her neck.
- But between now and then, there was Life; and Bod walked into it with his eyes and his heart wide open.
BOOK THREE
- It was his eyes.
- "See if he is a suitable acquaintance for our little goddess from the Aegean."
- The location would not be agreed upon until a half hour before the appointed time to avoid drawing a crowd.
- "You're right--I have no faith."
- And Jas., the Pirate King, flashed his forget-me-not eyes and smiled.
- Louis Creed, who had lost his father at three and who had never known a grandfather, never expected to find a father as he entered his middle age, but that was exactly what happened . . . although he called this man a friend, as a grown man must do when he finds the man who should have been his father relatively late in life.
- "Too fast to suit me, I think."
- They had moved into the kitchen tonight in deference to the season.
- Apparently Gage thought pretty was the code word for I've got to throw up now, so sorry, stand clear.
- "Darling," it said.
- Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.
- "Are you Native American?"
- Well, not samurai precisely, but a Japanese sword--an ancient Japanese sword, made by the master swordmaker Hisakuni of Yamashiro in the late thirteenth century.
- Kendra--the Warrior Babe of the Outland, combat mistress of the hot-oil arena, slayer of monsters, menace to mutants, scourge of the sand pirate, sworn protector of the cud-beast herdsmen of Lan, and intramural Blood Champion of the Termite People (mounts seven through twelve inclusive)--enjoyed cheese.
- "What are you looking at?" said Roberto.
also ITP it is revealed that Kit reads some odd books lolololo
Does anyone else come up with some really weird story ideas when they're sick? Mine are for some TFA thing but are full of like ghosts and fire and drowning and blood-drinking trees and fake angels and just blood in general and I don't even understand wtf is going on in my brain right now. ಠ_ಠ I blame this song, it is very special. But I also blame my own brain because wat.

Please enjoy! Comments are always greatly appreciated.
I'm still nervous about sharing my writing. Hah. But I hope you all enjoy chapter two!
If you didn't read chapter one, here it is. ;3
Chapter 1
( Time Means Nothing Chapter 2 )
having stayed at work (not neccessarily working, tho') I got home to find the road near as damnit full! - I'm parked up the road a hell of a way...
needed change for tomrrow, went to Mickey Ds to get som... had a Chicken mayo and a Big Tasty. They've nearly got the BK flavour right now...
The Happy Meal toys are rather furry at the moment, being from Fantastic Mr Fox... there is a Mrs Fox figure (imagine Flo Ambrose in a happy meal) and a little mirrored toy that is a variant of the old Victorian zoetrope....
Got change, got home it's 61 degrees Fahrenheit in the kitchen, even. Brrrrrrr!
Got the laundry ready, the laundry bits ready, and the bandage bag (my legs need bandaging again tomorrow) ready.
Gonna go to bed, wrapped against the cawd.

These are what
1. What is your favorite thing (or a favorite thing) about your house?
Probably the neck-high wood paneling. I feel like I'm at the Great Northern Hotel from Twin Peaks when I'm in my house. <3
2. What song (or songs) do you feel most accurately describes how you're feeling right now?
I'm sure tomorrow, I'll be feeling more like this, but I'm currently in a state of relaxment, so I have the Twin Peaks intro in mind since I brought up Twin Peaks (which consequentially inspired Apoptygma Berzerk's "Moment of Tranquility," which is also nice and relaxing, but angsty if you listen to the lyrics. I'm far from angsty, though.)
3. If you could spend a day with anyone (famous, non-famous, fictional or whatever), who would you want to hang out with and what would you want to do?
I think I'd either like to pal around with George Washington or Buddha. I can't decide. Like, hang out in the park and swing on swingsets or something. And like, meditate. |3
4. What is your favorite season or type of weather?
I'm partial to fall, but as I've gotten older, I've started to appreciate spring before things get sweltering. I used to hate heat and find cold invigorating, but now cold bites down on me and I have to cover up.
5. What would you like to be doing in 10 years?
I would like to be babysitting one of my kids while working on a painting while we had a fire going in our fireplace. |3
awakeThese illustrations are phenomenal. I have rapturous dreams about being able to balance black and white this well.
