damn, im pissed off. i got a call last night at work around 11 pm from this gorgeous girl i met at a bar and she wanted to hang out. the problem was that i would be working until 7 am. she tells me she was sad because she was having relationship problems with the guy she is seeing with. then my phone battery runs out in midconversation. so it looked like i hanged up on her.

fuuuuckkk

ive been trying to reach her all day. i think she might be mad at me now… of all the times i needed my phone to work right. that is just bad luck. it's like something is always going on when im around her. first time i met her she and her roomate got into a fight where the roomate actually brandished a knife at her. the next day i helped her move out. haha that was a couple months ago…now her exroomate is her friend again.

we hanged out last fri at a bar and some cop was hassling her claiming she was high and asked if she had any drugs.

!lol That was a great story ozone. Once I saw her explaining she was having problems with Photoshop for vector artwork… my side was splitting. And to think I can't get any freelance work because I'm too inexperienced. !lol

Anyway, here I am wearing a heart Holter (that's how they spell it) monitor. My cardologist detected a murmur and there's that black-out and I have occasional shortness of breath. Before the accident I was doing 8 flights of stairs five times a week for exercise. Two weeks after the accident I was out of breath after walking barely 300 yeards! You don't get that out of shape that fast.

And I should be writing. Two thirds through a great B-movie type sci-fi horror slasher script and I just can't bring myself to write. It's an excuse to beat myself up. :)

One day I need to get lasik surgery or something, if only the look of that surgery didn't kind of freak me out.

You should totally do it, Lasik is frickin' rad and your vision is all perfect 4 hours after the surgery. It's the only one of the large purchases of my life that I don't regret a whit :) It takes like 20 seconds! Magic!

I am watching Indiana Jones try to put on a uniform that's too small for him :) That kind of makes me sad though because although I have lost weight lately I haven't gone down a full clothes size yet :[ :[ :[ I HAD to buy a new pair of jeans today and I was pretty upset it was still in the old size..

Jesus 0_o I have a fear of that happening to me.

…on second thought maybe you're being warned she's more trouble then she's worth.

also, she's a stripper.
and no, i didnt meet her at a strip club. actually, she came up to me at a bar… and no, there was no fellatio deal or any ulterior motive. to this day i still dunno why she ever started talking to me. its prolly cause i feign indifference around her that night.

So I was cleaning my glasses….and a lens popped out. Either I pressed down WAY too hard, or the lens was never put in really well in the first place. I'm thinking more the second one, I've always felt that they looked like they could be poked out easily at any time.

I think it can be screwed back in, but if not I have to readjust my eyes to older, less stronger glasses until I get them fixed, and then draw with that. Ugh. Either way I hate the frames I've been using, they literally cut the sides of my head even after getting them stretched out. I think they're just in general too small. I've never had any luck picking out frames by myself. >_>

Hmmm… are your glasses a bit old? My old glasses used to have that problem all the time… so I eventually learned how to use a screwdriver. I also heard some places put the lens back in for free but you could always consider buying a new pair. I find the frames nowadays are a bit stronger and I haven't had my lens pop out since my new pair. =\

I personally like wearing glasses. If I'm ever going to get laser surgery, it'd be because my eyes are so bad. I think I'm already like half blind or something. TT_TT

The Photoshop hing was part of her explanation for the 12 meg raster EPS, not her "trouble" with vector art with which she apparently had none.

She was using Illustrator CS 2 for the rest.

As for outputting vector art or even creating it from Photoshop, while the options are limited, it's amazingly easy and even quite a bit smother than clunky old illustrator. :)

( i run as fast as i can). well….now my shin is killing me. ontop of that all the shoes at the "store" had arch support. but i'm flat footed. but i got the cheepest ones at 20…cause the rest were 60 or more….

I finally broke down and ordered a resume writing service. Obviously, I can't afford it. I have no job. If I did, I wouldn't need a resume-writing service. :-P Over $200 too. Sigh. At least I can take it as a tax deduction (I think).

I love illustrator, but that's me. I would be doing my comic with it if I didn't just love what I can do with my action figures. You realize the pun you created by using "smother" for "smoother"? So to do vector work in Photoshop is smothering?

I'm still trapped with Photo Shop 7. Hell, I'd still be using Microsoft Millenium Edition if I could get away with it.

I'm using XP then updated Explorer and hated it. I changed it back. My laptop still has ME and I love it.

I wish my wife could use a Mac so we could get one. (Legal secretaries use PCs and Word Perfect PERIOD. Do not mention Macs in a law office because there's lots of conversions to do to get a Mac document etc, etc…)

RARRGH.

i would give my right leg if i could draw. i am serious here.

i have all these ideas, but whenever i try to draw them… i ruin it. and then if i try collaberating with someone, they never do anything, or i somehow ruin it D: i envy every single person on DrunkDuck who can draw there own webcomic skillfully. i'm stuck doodling god damn stickfigures. and i've TRIED learning how to draw, like what? 50 times? i just don't understand it. i am hopeless T________T

make it stoooooooopppp glargle

…I haven't opened my pq box yet, so i'll feel really bad if it's actually with fan-art or some nice letters. Ah well time to open it-

nobodie's hopeless when it comes to drawing, I emean look back at uper dave's archives for instance (not the first few, redrawn stuff), you'll see some positive improvement in my art, and I was of the same mindset as you. it's been what, 8 months since I started uper dave and the difference in quality is phenomenal, it happens, just takes time. and so I don't feel like a goon for not ranting, I can't do pressups. I have huge muscled arms, but it just doesn't balance out, can't do pressups at all, nope.

Well, have my testing with the new place tomorrow. First part is a video thing, I guess, and I have to take down tons of notes, then answer questions based off of what I saw.

The dog keeps lying right behind my chair, so whenever I get up she gets hit by it. Five times it happened so far, and she still hasn't caught on that lying there is bad idea.

On the bright side, I now have a chair and a desk. No more sitting on the coach with the monitor balanced on a stool!

I have something to rant about: Sports people on the radio and TV. WHY do almost all of them, the athletes and the commentators tend to speak in a monotone drone when talking about how their event was or the commentators (ex-athlete ones) are describing and commenting on an event?

Maybe that's mostly an Australian thing? I've heard it from the U.K. as well though… Don't know about the U.S. and other countries. I think the bastards should be taught how to speak like HUMAN BEINGS! Stupid robot voiced sports monkeys… It's like sulphuric acid in my brain.

I can't get the smell of incense off me. It's a nice scent, but still, I'd like to be able to choose whether or not I smell like Led Zeppelin incense. I was holding it in my mouth the whole time it was lit, so I think that's why the smell is stuck on me.

Does anyone else think it's a problem that a mod is posting while drunk?

Also how did this stick get lodged in my buttocks? I didn't put it there.

soooo, the promotion list came out "today" (in the states)….and my best friend made it. i'm happy for him, since he's married and has a kid on the way (that's nearly an extra 500$ in his pocket). but at the same time, i'm extremely jealous. we were in basic together, went thru all the same tech schools, and the only reason i didnt test this year, is because i signed up for four years, and he for six. the air force has an incentive program where you put on the 3rd rank immeidiatly, which means you put on the 4th rank earlier, and test for sergeant earlier. i signed up for four, then had to wait 3 years to put on my 4th rank. (i started as an e2, 10 months before i was a e3, and then 3 years total to put on e4). and the time of year i put it on was crappy, because i was two months too late to test. communist ideals and stupid time in service ect.

just really jealous

You should listen to Spanish language Football. It's a style often spoofed on Whose Line is it Anyway?

Every US sportscaster tries to come up with their own style and terminology to up the energy of the broadcasts. It goes back to like forever…

Listen to the play-by-play on Meatloaf's song Paradise by the Dashboard Light Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto was a classic US baseball play-by-play man. It's definitely not monotone.

Sports reporters…. Yeah, there's one English guy who does the soccer and thinks he's Byron or something. He's prety entertaining with his poetic way of describing things.
But I doubt he was an ex pro player, Those are the bad ones… They gave up all the cleverness and music of speech in the purist of their sport.

I'll take your Cintiq if you don't want it :)
Ha! :P
I'll stick with it… Hmm, they're not as amazing as people say. :(

But it's a digi artist's status symbol! It means I have a really big… pen.
Or a small one, depending on how you look at it lol!

I'll see how much it costs to send my 12x12 over :)
