You're not getting old, are you?  I've always been told that when you get older you tend to sleep more.  Hasn't gotten to me yet.  Maybe it's all the cheap coffee I've been partaking in lately…

That's not true… I think. From my knowledge most older people will tend to go to bed earlier, but get up waaaay earlier and frequently have insomnia anyway.
 
It's teenagers that need the most sleep apparently. :)
 
I need more sleep at the moment it seems. That's hard to manage because I'm used to staying up for as long as I like and getting stuff done. But falling asleep at my desk sort of kills that now. -__-
————————
 
Have you ever had a whole day where you just felt slightly stoned/drunk?
That's what it's like for me now: that floaty, sleepy, dreamy, blissy, unreality feeling all day so far. It's nice, but harder to remember things (short term) and concentration suffers. It was weird at work, but I managed.
 
 And no- I've not taken anything to cause it… unless my tea was spiked :)
 
Feels real good. ^__^

Wow… had one weird dream… seeing the intro to a Magiversity anime.  O_O
 
And the whole thing animated to Keith Urban's song "Once in a Lifetime".  Well… the first third of it, with the final scene being my webcomic's protagonist seeing her mystery crush on a hill, reaching out with his hand and her running up trying to grab him, only to grab thin air instead, then the poor girl looking up at the sunset…
 
I could probably try to animate the thing, but wouldn't be able to use the song since certain people will probably object and send me a CaD order…

Nah, accidentally took almost a hour nap before dinner. So around 3 am (gmt) I finally got some sleep. But it's not like it mattered much since on mondays I have no classes…

Oh, great…  one of the fans inside my computer's power supply is malfunctioning.  It's making a lot of noise now.  Not hard to replace, but it involves taking the power supply out of the box, opening the power supply and replacing the fan.  Since most power supplies use the same fans that computer cases can use, this should be an easy job.  Now to go to work and worry about where I put that electrical tape later…

you're in a floaty, drifty penal colony, aren't you


my neck/shoulders are so achy I'm thinking about abducting people who are walking outside pass the house to come in and give me a shoulder rub. *eventually, foot traffic should decrease*

What the heck…I guess I haven't been paying attention to my account. Did anyone notice when my avatar changed?
@ozone: I can vouch for the sleep thing…I used to be a real early riser, but for the past few years my body wants me to stay up until 3am and sleep until noon.

Wow… a viral video (in this case, "Nyan Cat") leads me to an anime that I hope comes over here.  I've always loved anime comedies due to their cuteness and silliness.  And the intros to them can really draw you in… something I have yet to encounter in American comedies.  Well… here's the opening and closing animations for your viewing pleasure I think…
 
Nichijou Opening (first)
 
 
Nichijou Closing
 
Oh… and one more thing…  Avoid having any girl falling in love with you.  There's a chance that…
 
 
she only knows how to show affection by pulling out a REALLY BIG GUN and SHOOTING you with it...

oh, great… boredom strikes me hard sometimes.  Right now it's my night off and I'm looking up the Utau wiki.  I think it might be fun to make a Utauloid using my voice.  The weird thing is… I'd like him to be a crossdresser with one small difference… unlike one well known Utauloid out there it'll have an actual male voice…
 
Or maybe I'd better just keep playing Mass Effect 1 and 2 while waiting for 3.  I'm pretty sure if I tried to make a Utauloid it'll be a major nightmare scenario…

I think I'm starting to have an allergy attack. I caught it quick, so I should be fine in a few minutes. Just trying to stay calm and let the antihistamines do their job. Staying calm is always the hardest part, though. And I know panicking only makes me feel worse.
  
I haven't had a full-blown allergy attack in months now and I'm not about to start that again.

It's like Vocaloid (which is a digital song program) except it's free of charge and lets you make your own voicebanks (and thus your own digital Utauloid, which is like a Vocaloid, only a bit less refined)…
 
I'll be drawing again once I pick up my monitor from the shop next week.  It's annoying trying to draw when the screen suddenly turns dark and very cyany and I have to use unsubtle tapping to make it return to nromal…

My grandfather was just moved to a more restricted section of the nursing home he´s been living in for about a year. He´s taking the death of my grandmother, something that occurred several months ago, very hard. He never talks about it and pretends everything is alright.
A few days ago he snapped at me for goofing around, something he has never done before. I'm sad that he takes the easy way out, blaming others for his troubles. It's not like I can help him cope with anything in a better way.
At least the chance of him attacking any of the other old people he surrounds himself with isn't very high any more.

Ugh…  I'm sorry to read this.  Your grandmother was really dear to him and losing her was probably like losing a part of himself.  Good thing he's in a nursing home.  Otherwise he would probably have taken the fatal route my uncle took when his wife died…  he quite literally drank himself to death (and this is one of the reasons why I will never willingly drink alcohol).  Maybe if you spend as much time as possible even when he "snaps" he'll raise his spirits or something…
 
Finished Jacob's loyalty mission in ME2 and it got me thinking….  what do you think would go through your mind if you found out one or both of your parents had a bad side to them?  I guess I felt sorry for the character because after ten years of not seeing him and then finding out he took advantage of the situation he was in; his ship crashed, he was in command, and he made the most of it… by making the crew eat the toxic flora/fauna while he kept all the good food for himself, thent ook advantage of the women and killed or exiled all the men…
 
And personally, I'd rather see a guy like that rot in prison instead of shooting him in the head.

I've been watching Ringer starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and I'm loving it. Quite skeptical before watching it (I guess I got hooked too much on the whole Buffy TV series) but finally entirely convinced and happy with the new series.

So this has been legitimately bugging me lately. Normally this would be something I'd simply PQ, but I know I can't be the only nerd here wondering…
 
Skoolmunkee; …. where'd you get that boxing monkey sprite? Or is that something you made yourself? I program my own games and often look at sprites for ideas and such. That monkey is uber cute, and quite frankly I'd like to use it in something~!

YES.
 
EDIT:
Apparently quotes can't handle links on the new duck.

Whatever the new DD uses for posting stuff (everywhere on DD) is pretty shizzy. There's not much it CAN handle. -_-
 
You have more options for how you can post things is something like MSN or Gtalk.
 
Had a crappy day so far. Started with trying to do a newspost 5 minutes before I ran off to work… Work was EXTREMELY busy, people were giving me far too much to do and I had to work with crappy word docs and old photocopies and try and recreate the artwork in illustrator, That takes TIME people, don't bloody rush me when I'm doing that.
 
Then I have to go over the new signups on DD looking for the spammers… The spammers have gotten smarter so it's a lot harder to find them. It's a lot of work in any case.
 
Now I have to do my feature for tomorrow. Which means i need to go through my list and see if that comic has enough pages and is still updating, hen read it from comer to cover, then to a writeup and a separate news post.
 
 I can't wait for the weekend! >_<
That thing at the bottom of the screen is yet another revenue raising thing for the site.
 
————-
 
AND now post got cut to nothing and I'm re-posting it… so perfect.
