On September 11th I'll be sure to come to your birthday party Kroatz.
So will the towers.
Band practice was more or less productive.
I had yellow watermelon yesterday.
It was good.
I go back to school tommorrow.

Comic Talk and General Discussion
Rant, Moan and Rave - 2010 edition
With chalk you can truly write as fast as you think especially mathematical stuff. I guess that's why scientists still cling to them and that's why they wear lab coats (the chalk dust) at least according to those chemical engineer friends of mine.
That made me laugh out loud. : P
I think your chemical engineer friends may have been putting you on…outside of the comics, scientists don't use chalkboards, at least not any more.
Edit: Just confirmed this with my dad, who's had a million jobs in science.
Edit edit: Also, that's definitely not the purpose of lab coats, but I'm not sure if you were kidding about that part. : )
We had chalkboards in school up until junior high. Since then we've had mostly white boards. A lot of my teachers still use the old-fashioned projectors, though. We have the new ones that hook up to computers but they're kind of a pain.
scientists don't use chalkboards any more.OMG! Next you'll say they don't all have crazy white hair sticking out in all directions O_o
The doctor who did ultrasound on my arm (a scientist), she wore a red flamenco dress… No white lab coat. :(
I hate whiteboards as much as blackboards. They both suck.
When I taught digital animation I ONLY used the digital projector… what else can you do?
——————————-
Wow, my drawings are going fantastic! But I need to go to bed now… work tomorrow. Shiza!!! D:
Some people and places do still prefer chalkboards to whiteboards. It's probably a cultural thing, as I've seen it most with mathematicians.
I love 3-day weekends, but whenever I get the Monday off I *always* forget to do my Sunday tasks on Sunday, because I am so used to doing them on 'the last day'… I think I need to make a quick list right now to remind me what I need to make sure and do tonight. So I'm not late with the feature again, for instance!
I think there should be a DD wide contest to replace the Drunk Duck logo, or at least make the Quail and Duck in multiple new poses that can be used for such things as halloween, christmas and advertisement outside of the site. It would also be cool if a short comic would be made about the origin of the duck, replacing the FAQ section.

I believe you are all not paying enough attention to my birthday that's coming up, it should be a hype, a contest of who can come up with the best gifts. I would LOVE a birthday cake dawn by Oz, or having Pit Face design my birthday chair.
But alas, you all don't care about me.
Except 1337, he does care.
Shhhh hippy! >.<

Mission accomplished. :)
Georg and the chem lab guys at Clinique really only have the chalk board so they can scrape the huge cat claw mitten across it to torture their latest skin care victims. The lab coats are supposedly to keep off corrosive chemicals but there's also a large bit of theater there and there are days when they try to out do each other with how messy their hair is and then there are the manical laughter sessions.
I get the stitches out today so hopefully I can start shaving again. That and opening my mouth to eat are high on my list of things I miss a week after my fall.
Well I'm back in school.
And it sucks.
And most my classes suck.
And I'm writing this before the bus comes.
And that sucks too.
Anyone else have a one handed teacher before? Well I do.
And he's awesome.
Probably the only good thing about being back there.
'Cause my already crappy school's under construction.
I'm gonna start making stuff for my comic so it's prettier and people will actually visit it.
Also, Halo 3 on Legendary is still hard. But it's kind of fun. After not playing it for a while.
And doing squats/leg press on the same day at the gym is a terrible idea. I ended up throwing up. Leg day has never been more hardcore.

because your arms are bigger than mine, i feel obligated to one up you:
situps, squats, back extensions, individual leg extensions, standing leg curls, abductor, and adductor work outs, followed by a .409 mile sprint on the same day is an awesome idea.
dropped my individual lap time by 2 seconds.

I brag too much.
Yes Plague.
And he's not American!
…Your present is turnips.
Enjoy them.
I am facing many things on my first days of school.
One is people I know doing pot.
And I want to make them stop.
Would it be bad to tell the principal of this?
Yes, that is a what do you think?
The second is that I saw someone be bullied like…ten times in ten minutes.
I'm thinking of how to put a stop to that too.
I wore my Batman shirt today so it could have brought me some more do-good attitudes or something.
I am a nice person. I don't have to try to be one.
/…no modesty?…
Oh and I had "band practice" (The other one, not The Assorted Fruits. I think the name's gonna be…"Intrestocracy". We just need a base player and then the duo will become a trio…like Rush…but modern.) and we played for an hour or two and during the other two/three hours I 1)did a pull up, 2) played and failed at Bioshock 2, only played Fable 2, and played and failed only a couple songs on Rock Band 2, and 3) ate mac and cheese.
My day has been summarized.
My cats always sit on my laptop because it's warm and they manage to do crazy stuff. Today I came home from work and found my display flipped upside-down. I mean, it didn't take long to figure out how to fix it, but I still think it's ridiculous that my cats do things with my computer that I can't do. Diabolical is what they are.

My new job at a pet store(no animals, just stuff) is awesome. I actually know what I'm talking about to the customers, which is a good feeling. :)
My families about ready to sue our bitch-ass neighbors, bought damn time =_= For months now they've been fucking up the road, first by digging a trench for rainwater (it washes onto three other yards including our own, illegal as hell around here) and now they've put a ton of large rocks lining the road. If there are two cars coming at the same time one has to back up down the hill now.
The thing in the neighbors never even use the road they're fucking up, they're only doing it to pick a fight with another family who lives down here. It's done though, mom's calling someone to come out here and see what they're doing. Sick of their passive aggressive road war bullshit ruining my car. /angerbl0x
Day off at work, yay.
Having to work it off on saturday, not so yay. I'd rather work on saturday anyway and get paid extra for over time!
But we did dodge the 12-hour shift bullet this time. Someone changed their mind in the very last moment. 12 hour shift = working from 6pm to 6am. Not the nicest thing to have to do, ugh. Also, your whole day is pretty much gone as you'll spend it sleeping :P
Buuut, it also means you're not only getting paid over time, but also night time which pays some extra too.
Anyway… Day off, yay!

Meanwhile, I was working on a daily sketchbook thing which was meant to be a yearly book thingie. One drawing a day
well… that didn't work out as well as I planned and I caught myself doing two drawings one day and none the next… so I'll probably use these as a basis for the second Inkbook or something. I'll just have to ink 40+ drawings, haha.
Fiance and I are trying to get the date for the wedding planned…and we are having trouble. We keep getting complaints for setting up a date in May 2012 because we have graduating relatives. But we don't want to have it later because we have been dating for 5 years. We tossed around the idea of May 2011. My mom thought it was a good idea, his mom said it was up to us. But then when we get back last night saying that there is a slot open May 21, 2011, his mom freaks…maybe it is because she didn't expect we would actually get one so quickly? Anyways. There are some competing couples so we have to call a priest ASAP. There is a 400 deposit (250 refundable) due at booking. And the rest of the money won't even be due until a month before the wedding. The sanctuary use fee is $1000, but they subtract from that whatever we or his parents put in the offering plate two years prior to the wedding and onward. And we haven't even looked at the price for the hall we are using for the reception.
So yeah. We really have to decide now if we want to go through with this or not. If we don't do it in May 2011 we will have to wait until February 2012 after my internships and licensing exam.
All in all, a Justice of the Peace is looking more and more tempting with all the whining we get every time we assert a decision. [/rant]
Ugh.
UGH.
SCHOOL.
Am I right people? 
My Communication Theory class has me submitting homework via a blogspot account, which I fucking hate already since I'm vehemently against blogs and the concept of blogging. I have nothing to say, why would I ever set up a page to inform people about what is going on in my very boring little life. Even right now you readers are just skimming this post for a few buzz words that may grab your attention. I'll assume you find none and this post gets no reply, as per usual.
But now after dropping screen writing and picking up New Media (which is essentially a social networking class that teaches you how to market your products on a viral basis), not only am I three days behind in lecture but I discover that the assignments for this class must be posted via Facebook. Thats it. My three year isolation from the very concept of social networking down the drain just because I need to get a big fat A.
Oh well, I still have my barf record (age 5-22, heck yeah), so thats one trophy left on my wall.
Oh no wait, I threw up in Vegas a year ago.

EDIT: Oh cool I also just got informed that I'm needed in the master control room to edit live TV on saturday night which happens to run during my shift at my other job (guess which one doesn't pay!) I'm gonna freakin' Hulk out and start throwing cars before this day is over.
