Purple Carrot Concentrate

so who locked their keys in the car and had to wait in the parking garage for an hour after a ten hour shift today?

oh yeah, that was me. fml.

at least the guy was nice enough to unlock the car without damage. but he took all my christmas money with him when he left.
hope everyone likes crocheted scarves.

feeling better. got some stuff done, chilled out, ignored phone and nerded for a bit. all is not well with the universe, but at least it isn't tilting off axis anymore.

plus there was this convo; which both amused and terrified me at the same time. friggen work forcing me to use a friggen mac. ugh, diaf you crappy piece of machinery.

M: DEATH TO ZERG
E: iFOR THE HORDE
ahdslgakjesgakwjgh
WHAT IS THAT 'I'
auuuggghhhh i''m infected with MAC
GET IT OFF
pardon me while i chop off my fingers
M: BWAHAHAHA
YER INFECTED
CFKSDHAHAHAHA
E: MAKE IT GO AWAY
*SOB*
if that had ended up an isob, there'd have been no hope
carry on without me, M
M: I get your monitors if it consumes you, right?
E: *gaspchokewheeze* idead
....no
M: You're not using them anymore, you're turning into a Mac!
FEEL THE STREAMLINING
*takes off with all your PC stuff*
E: bwaugh! HANDS OFF. MY LIFELINE. GO KILL THINGS DAMNIT
M: MUAHAHAHAH
*flees into the night*
E: *BOOT*
M: i REGRET NOTHING!

and on that note, i'm gonna go soak for a few hours and be unconscious for a few hours more. today can go to hell.

ugh, the E feels ill.

and no, not in the bacterial infectious sort of way, just in general. cause srsly, the past two weeks have been like a great big running gag. but there's no punchline. and there really needs to be one by now.

on the plus side, the commissions are finished. Done and done, art for Asylum 4 and Asylum Europe are out of my head, out of my sketchbook and off my computer. Done.

Also good, even though i don't get to go to England, I'm going to NYC instead. sweet. happy b-day to the sako.

i'll be working on a comic project as soon as i can get character sketches done and that'll last for a bit too, but won't be as manic as this last thing was. so yay for things to work on.

so yes, the stress of the commissions is over. and no, it wasn't -that- bad.
WHAT MADE IT BAD, was everything else happening at the same friggen time.

( This is what i'll call 'an understandable reason for rage' )

EDIT: i called. they said the manager will be in meetings all day today and doesn't have time for me. he'll call me when he's ready, probably tomorrow.

or probably never. assholes. FUCKSHITCUNT I HATE THIS.

The power was out in my development tonight from 8:30 until 9:55.
SRSLY WTF.
FAIL

went over to happytemplar's and played magic: the gathering by candlelight.

Which was fun, but wth. FML.

EDIT: crisis averted! ZOMMMMMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES 8D!

I'm alive, I swear.

I apologize to my flist for my recent silence, but RL has been FORCING ME TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT like an angry little pet. The kind of pet that'll mess up the carpet if you don't stop what you're doing RIGHT NOW.

there are...like...a million people i need to reply to, send stuff to, talk to, and basically all around show some sign of life to...but haven't. Cause i'm a slacker. BUT I'M WORKIN ON IT. promise :3 took me awhile to get the internet set up, that's all.

the new place has heat (woo!), sanctuary, my new awesome fishy Lucifer (cheeky little fish too), and far less boxes than it did a few weeks ago. I even got my hands on an awesome cage so that i can finally start the process of adopting ratties <3
I've also been drawing again (gleee) and writing like crazy because my muse showed up at the last possible minute and i have me some Dean/Cas fic exchange to finish before the deadline this weekend x__x gah.

which, btw, is there anyone from the SPN fandom on my flist that would be interested in doing a speed beta for me? @__@ last minute, i know, and i'm not even done yet, but another set of eyes would be a tremendous help. (morgainlefay, i'm totally gonna be hitting you up if i can't find anyone. you rock socks, i hope you know)

A special thankyew to dauntdraws for the V-day present! <3 (thankyou sweetheart, you totally didn't have to. they were balloons!)

Forgive me eldanis! i didn't mean to tease you for this long! sorry i missed you at Katsu too <3 i do have art to share, promise.

and thus, back to writing with me. i colored a bit tonight at art jam, which was awesome and i missed it like whoah, but i have GOT to GET this DONE. x_x
(this post officially has little to no content. please leave a message at the beep)

happytemplar got her hands on the new Silent Hill game for the Wii, and even though I've only caught a little of it so far, it is already just creepy enough to keep me interested. well played, evil town =_= we meet yet again.
and oh, the ideas that stir. i don't write enough psychological horror. not nearly enough.

Alice in Wonderland in IMAX this weekend with the Mad Kat crew in Richmond. ROAD TRIP.
i still need to find a silly hat...sonofa...

OH HAI MARCH. *hisssssss*

I apologize if I haven't responded to comments/gotten back to people I intended to recently. This week has been kicking my ass and running me over with a truck x_x repeatedly.

I'm in the process of moving from one apartment to another, my place is a mess and i have limited internet between homes :(

this was basically the reason i didn't sign up to do the help_haiti fundraising campain (which is awesome, btw, check it out!), despite the fact that i reaaaally wanted to. i just knew i wouldn't have the time and i didn't want to disappoint . So i apologize to anyone who was hoping i'd sign up.
However, a lot of really amazing artists and authors HAVE signed up, so go check it out before the bidding ends! or if anything, Misha's Minions are still collecting through UNICEF and will always take contributions, I'm sure.

anywho, since i'm at work now, i won't make this long. just know that i promise to catch up as soon as i can and i thankyou all for having patience with me <3

Why is it that most non-religious people i know are far more tolerant of other people's faith than the religious ones? (no, not all of them)
isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

i mean, most holy scripture, no matter the sect or base, preaches about this kinda tolerance shit all the time. did i miss something?

cause its good for me to be ok with the faith of people around me, but not good for the faithful to be ok with me.
Fuck. That.

normally, this kinda thing just rolls off my back and i ignore it, seeing as i have little faith in really old dead people to begin with; but hearing some surprisingly deep rooted hate from good people, just because they think it'll spare them from hell, irritates the shit out of me.

for fuck sake children, get along.

For the people on my F-list that know my phone #, just so's ya know, my phone is currently deactivated. it is pushing up daisies. it ceases to be. it was an accident by my brother while they were getting me my new phone, and unfortunately it won't work again until i take it to an at&t place and MAKE THEM FIX IT. damnitall.

Email would be the easiest way to reach me until then, please don't bother poor happytemplar, she's not my secretary. yet. At least until i get all of this crap sorted, stick with the email.
gawd i hate phones. XP

So i'm in the hospital this morning for my millions of tests for the surgery in two weeks(ack), and there's a TV on playing the news. and this headline shows up for about two seconds scrolling across the bottom:

Disney to acquire Marvel for $4 billion

wait...whut?
¿QUE?
ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER

i...don't even know what to think of this ._.




in other news, having blood drawn straight from an artery kinda sorta hurts.

*sigh*

ok, as a note from an artist here, to anyone else who thinks they'd like to put some crazy tron-based, bizarre looking alchemical symbol on a t-shirt, please run yourself through a few things first before you make your final decision. I know your guild just HAS to have them in order to be more proficiently professional and show off your dice rolling pride, but still. take a moment.

your WOW buddies and your mom probably thought it was cool, but think to yourself how many times you're going to be wearing this outside of the basement.

if its drawn by hand, USE A RULER. if you traced it, FOLLOW THE LINES.

use a compass if you want that many circles. never used one? google it. it's SO EASY. hell, trace around one of those empty dew cans if you need to.

if it's meant to be symmetrical looking, then bloody well make it symmetrical.

don't scan it as a bitmap, holy hell, especially when there's both ink AND pencil still in the design. the blocks, sweet zombie jesus, the blocks x_x my eyes!.

and for god's sake, if you see a mistake in it, don't correct it in MSpaint. you're just making it worse.


ugh, that took way longer to redraw than it should have XP cleaning up some little kids drawing with lines all over the place is all well and fine, but i hate when i get some piece of art from a self righteous wannabe that's crazy picky with 'my artz is bestest' and trying to tell me what to do like i don't already know -.- *hissss*

happy friday! /bitter
