Purple Carrot Concentrate

OH HAI EVERYBODY

yeah, so...obviously, i am no longer at the bottom of the grand canyon. which is where i have been for the past two weeks. wilderness. middle of nowhere. horror movie fodder. you get the picture. BUT IT WAS AWESOME THO. just sayin.
but anywho, i survived the Colorado River (WOO!) and tho i didn't really miss the internet all that much, i am happy to have it again.

THAT BEING SAID...to all of my Supernatural buddies out there *eyeballs* you know who you are. i am incredibly reluctant to meander through LJ right now until i catch up on the last three eps. so, this is a call out for assistance please. anybody willing to give me some links? y/y? please pretty please? the last ep i saw was Weekend at Bobby's, so the three after that is what i'm missing.
HELP YOU GUYS. YER MA ONLEE HOPE.

so...otherwise...did i miss anything important? <.< >.> (y'know, other than spoilers. dnw.)
cause yeah. wilderness. peeing in a river. fuck yeah.

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.

!!!!!!!

i was on fandom!secrets. O: wts?




*sniffles* My day, it has been made.

now if only my drawing muse was still around to enjoy this...*sets out cheese*

thankyou to simithedemon for letting me know. see how quickly i rush to nerd of this inspiring news?

THE USB CHORD WAS PLUGGED INTO THE WRONG HOLE.
THE WRONG FUCKING HOLE.

ashdgjlakjeghawijevsonofabitch!
so much aggravation that could have been avoided if i'd just AIMED correctly.
deeeeeaaaaatttthhhh

There was a 30 degree drop in temperature from yesterday to today.

...

is there anywhere on this planet i can live and NOT get pressure migraines because of this crap?
cause srsly. wtf. i couldn't even sit at my computer without wanting to claw my eyes out. everything about yesterday SUCKED.
(except for you psychosako. you made my day so much less suck with the yummy food the geeking and the artiness, i ♡ u)

Bring it on ACen, i am so ready for a road trip.

So I'm at work today listening to a podfic instead of music.
Which is awesome, and I'm glad I discovered such things in order to do just that whenever music isn't cutting it. :3

However, as a side effect to living in half of the states in this country as a child, I am a linguistic leech. In every sense of the word. And the podfic I was listening to was being read by an Australian, which is cool and I really liked her accent...
But it stuck. Damnitall. And i didn't even notice until someone pointed it out.
sjgk;aweklgje!@#$

I'm not gonna leave England without somehow getting punched in the face x.x i can see it already.
I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.

So I'm offically doing better. woot.
Spent the entire day without drugs and was able to sit through a full day of getting work done while not being as in pain as i have been recently. it was still there, and i'm still neglecting the hell out of my desktop at home cause the chair kills me, but i'll take what i can get. not taking the painkiller was a big one. go me!
still paranoid about the damn stairs tho.

WATCHMEN ON SATURDAY IN IMAX. FINALLY.

Talked to mom last night, which was good since the last two days have sucked balls for all of us, yet not good at the same time because my mother's a damn empath and she killed my (fake)mood almost instantaneously cause of all the crap on her end. I'm not completely heartless, i do feel really bad for her, but on the other hand, all of this stuff with her ex/semi-ex/wtf is just pissing me the hell off and i have little to no tolerance for it. i'll listen to her for her sake, and keep my tongue for that reason too, but the continuing saga of douchebaggery is just getting a bit past inexcusable.
which is prolly why it bothers me that she keeps excusing it.
*shakes head*

thus to change the subject for her, i mentioned about how it's a real damn possibility now that i'll be going overseas (eeeeee :D) to which she gave a loud and over protective motherly groan (srsly?) that was then followed by this convo:

E: mom, srsly, it's just England, it's not like i'd be going to Africa or anything (again)
Ma:....
E: mom?
Ma: England?
E: er, yah? I told you about this. many times, remember? possibly going to the UK? commissions? convention?
Ma: well, yah, i remember that...but...you said UK.
E:...yes. United Kingdom?
Ma:...
E: what, you didn't realize that?
Ma:...
E: seriously? London, England, Britain, that United Kingdom? the UK.
Ma:...
E: you totally didn't put that together did you.
Ma: hush.

*facepalm*
So this whole time my mother was thinking i was going out to the middle of the desert somewhere in the middle east. for a supernatural convention.
i was adopted.

I am so glad this week is over x.x ugh.
Ended up going to the docs afterall, but thankfully we all pretty much agree that I simply bruised the hell outta my tailbone and nothing is actually broken. Course, I think I could have been able to tell if it was, but still. Glad to know its something that will just take time to heal, and WILL heal.

on the unfortunate side, sitting is still a bad idea. that, and i had to miss another day of work since the doc gave me Vicodin and told me to go home and get off my ass (lol) thus, i spent another day bored to tears at home and feeling bad for getting nothing done this week >.< mnargh. of all weeks, especially since i know things are busy at work. lame.

i didn't even get to see Watchmen yet ;.; even with the time off, i can't even sit in a chair for ten minutes, let alone three hours. i'd lay in an aisle if they didn't have science experiments for floors.
totally lost the chance to go for the NJcon this weekend too, but oh well. money i shouldn't spend anyway and a long trip that my tailbone would not have enjoyed. meeting Misha and getting to see Sammy would have been cool, but not if i'm cranky and hurting. no one deserves that. (miss u girl!)

the bizarre thing about this whole experience tho, is the fact that i noticed after i started taking the Vicodin that, even though my tailbone was still kinda aching, my knees didn't hurt AT ALL. it weirded me out at first until i realized what was going on. then i got excited about it. and then it just made me sad. cause srsly, should it really be this shocking to NOT have the pain in my knees?
Christie laughed and told me I was like House.
Ironically, she was the second person to say that to me recently. ifail.
and tho i know better than to think i can just keep taking the stuff, it gives a bit of a perspective as to why these things can get addicting. i'd love to be able to walk around like this all of the time without pain, but long term meds at this kinda strength can do other kinds of damage and i know better. *el sigh*

another weird thing about this injury and totally TMI is that i think i forced something to shift in my hip where it usually wouldn't rotate (lol, that sounds weird) i was stretching my poor bruised muscles and realized i could move backwards in a way i hadn't before. not painfully, just different and a bit more flexible. nothing like a little forced and repeatedly jarring pain to reset some boundaries. ouch.

on the plus side, the one good thing about being home this much means that i've been getting commission work and con art done, and that's a -big- plus. also, been just doodling in general with whatever i feel like, and i'm happy to have my muse again. still haven't touched the markers, but i know i'll get there. i had a spot in the old house where i would do all of my coloring, and i think i just need to find that kinda thing here in the new place.

oh! a question for all the SPN peeps on my f-list. Part of the commission i'm doing includes the YED, and for the life of me, i can't think of a pose for him that isn't just him standing there looking menacing with his arms crossed. I mean, srsly, there HAS to be something else i can have him doing without looking too dumb. I know the guy wasn't exactly an action star...but isn't there something, anything else he could be doing? it's chibi, but i still have a decent range of what i can work with. anybody got any ideas? help?
