@Hippie- Women are all crazy, so it shouldn't be a surprise. :)
Naw, that sounds awful. I hope the two of them come to an understanding.
I guess Fantasy is in? :pCool. I'll design and great fantasy outfit for you ;)
i've never understood women.no one is supposed to because nothing makes sense.
I continually forget how to use tags for the forums.[spoiler]aiopromotion

i finished the coffin.
Today has been a productive day. 3 ship designs (with a similar 4th coming soon) i washed my car. washed the puppies. washed the puppies living space, cleaned the floor around it. took my wife on a picnic. and finished the coffin top.
Now i feel like it should be 6 or seven. but it's not.
My friend is treating me like I'm deprived because my parents never really listened to the Beatles, hence the reason I don't really like them either. Not saying they're bad or anything, I fully acknowledge they were a great band. They're just not something I listen to. It's a generational thing; my parents grew up listening to The Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Blondie, etc, so I like that kind of music. I don't personally feel like it's a huge deal, but she now has "lost respect" for my parents and I. Yeah, okay.

Just for the record – I've had Marmite. It's very different and I occasionally still get a craving for it. Very high in vitamin B and sodium. However, if you do not like strong flavours it will take your head off… and not in the alcoholic way which has some redeeming qualities.
Had a very interesting day today. Morning and noon was reserved for a dance class. I had to bail out early because I was late for a competition, in game design, which I was participating in but ended up loosing. However one of the game companies contacted me for a meeting and wanted to give me professional tips. Very interested in seeing how that meeting will go.
As soon as I returned home, I had my phone ring. A guy I knew was trying to convince me to vote for his party but tonight was election night for all the town/city councils. I'm living in the city now but was still registered as living in the town where his party was running. I didn't feel like spending gas money to go down there and vote but he ended up offering to pick me up if I promised to vote for him.
The reason why he was so adamant about getting that 1 extra vote was simply because this is a very small town, only about 1000 people, so it doesn't take many swing votes to drastically alter the results. Hilariously enough though, the town happens to own the land where the international airport rests and thus is a very rich town. You probably see now why he was so interested in getting elected there.
After casting my vote, I ended up at the party office where people were waiting to hear the results. I spent the evening with these people that I didn't know, watching Eurovision where I had the honor of seeing my country doing abysmally in. One continental song competition later, we heard the first numbers from the election from the various locations around the country. The city council election showed very interesting results.
You see… a local comedian decided that he wanted to become the mayor. He started talking about how awesome it would be to have a private driver and an assistant like the current mayor. He was also envious of his obnoxiously high salary and the fact that he had to do relatively little since he could form comities to make all the decisions for him. Eventually he announced that he would form a party that would be better then all the others and call it the Best Party. His party members include various people like artists, the ex-singer of the pop band Sugarcubes, a housewife, an architect, none of whom have any political experience. Oh, and here's his campaign video. It includes him and his party members singing campaign promises under Tina Turner's tune "Simply the best".
Anyways, the newest polls have his party taking 6 of the 15 seats, making his party the largest political force in the city. The only thing that's going to prevent him from becoming the mayor is is ALL the other parties that got seats form a coalition against his party. Gonna be interesting times ahead. Well, these news were way to interesting for me to pass up so I went to his post election party to hear his victory speech. I got to shake the hand of my almost guarantied new mayor and I also met this guy. It's perfectly OK if you don't know who he is but he's well known where I live. He's also quite funny in person and was wearing a pink tuxedo.
So, like I said… It was an interesting day.

pardon me, but i have to complain about this somewhere and this seems the best place.
see this?: http://www.drunkduck.com/Spanky_bros
this is everything, EVERYTHING you can do wrong in a comic. hell, i think i'm offended as a sentient being that there's someone out there who believes someoen could look at this and go "that's interesting!"
is there any kind of anti-favorite button so i can un-read that crap?
this is everything, EVERYTHING you can do wrong in a comic.You have to really care about sprite comics first I think.
Well, yesterday was another "clusterduck" at work…
See, we had to go to finish and package the sets labeled as WIP (work in progress)… these were about 100 of one brand and then between 6 and 18 of 5 or 6 other brands. But that means PROBLEMS… why? because each set has to be tuned… and before tuning it it has to be put into the "heating" room, where the sets stay for anythingbetween 30 to 90 minutes (depending on the brand specification).
This is so that you can catch all the errors that come out only after the set has been running for a bit. Well, imagine this: you have 7 brands, all going on a single line… and they're landing in that area and then are taken off that in various order so you have two 19inch hannspree sets then one 32inch toshiba, then another toshiba but one that goes to France rather than the UK (as the previous did) and then there's a 32inch hannspree…
and each of those requires different packaging. The box is different obviously, and so are the styrofoam forms to hold it, the remotes, manuals, cables etc.
And the guy who's meant to bring these to us is clearly NOT managing it to well. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show up on monday AT ALL and if he does, the Leader will probably have him thrown out anyway.
So ultimately out of the 200 or so various sets we managed to push through perhaps 50?
Oh well, Saturdays pay extra…
Yes to both questions. Einar has the second place in the Best party so he's now part of the city council. Final numbers had that party winning 6 seats.Crazy amazing daySounds pretty cool. Was that Einar from the Sugarcubes you were talking about there? Cool. ^^
Dance class??
Golf….seriously?I don't know anyone who golfs at all,maybe it's cause I'm blackTiger Woods? o_O :D

I don't really want to make a whole topic about this, so is there anyone who can't get into Deviantart lately? Everytime I go there I get a "server not found" message and my sister is having the same problem.
I'd just like to make sure it's not just us because it's hard to find that out when I can't get into the site.
Man of all the places in the world to put a joke in office, it had to be iceland. I'd kill for a cool guy like this to be in office. I mean, think of all the great things he'd doForget about the taxes. This is the guy who promised a polar bear for the local petting zoo.
like… manage taxes.
Still nothing for me. =/Your IP could be blocked for some reason. Or it could be that the connection between your ISP and the Dev art servers is being routed wrongly or interrupted maybe?
You were right that a free proxy site does let me view it…but also, I'm apparently not the only one having this problem -

I might just have to try waiting this one out for a while longer.
Even better than that, he promised free towels in every public pool. How cool is that!?Man of all the places in the world to put a joke in office, it had to be iceland.
