I actually went to bed early last night.
10:30 is what I consider early.
But I woke up at about 9 AM, or so. I had to catch up on some sleep, since the previous day I went to bed at 5:30 in the morning.

I woke up, took a shower, ate breakfast, and played a bit of Sly Cooper (1). After which, my mom left to go have lunch with my dad at work. I then proceeded to drink a cup of coffee, change the lightbulb in my brother's room, then clean the house. And now I'm drawing a picture for my comic. :3

Not a page, but like a picture. Because I need more of those.
I only have 2 relatively new ones.
It needs moar.

10:30 is what I consider early.

10:30am is what I consider late.

But it's a work night for me now and 2:30am is pretty much my limit on these nights. -_-
Hopefully I won't wake until 8am. At which point I have to get ready for work.

Tonight I've managed to sketch a fairly good page. Now if I can finish that by tomorrow, it will be freaking AMAZING! I'll have done a page in two days and delivered it ON TIME!!!!!

Can I do it?
-YES I CAN!
Will I do it?
…maybe.

If I can stay loose, keep it free, keep focussed and not tighten up to produce the slow, stilted, overly precise robotic looking shiz I've been doing for so long, then I have a chance. ^___^

Came home from work, walk to the bed and attempted to dive into it. Except I ended up with my face landing on a book… the Dungeons and Dragons "Dieties and Demigods" book…. the HARDCOVER version… ow…

HEIL DA FUHRER GLARFGHTHG!!! !!

Oh you silly nooblet! That's not Die Fuhrer!

The hairstyle and the moustache are clearly that of the Loveable Tramp!

Charlie Chaplin!

No WONDER she's so cute and loveable. ;)

I've always had this fear of Charlie Chaplin after seeing that particular movie; I'm pretty sure if he had the chance, he'd steal my sole and eat it…

Posted at 10:07PM, Jul. 13, 2009

Wow…hitler and charlie chaplain? :D
*locks door* >__>

Beth cooper was pretty stupid, it wasn't awful and had it's laughs but it was just short and shallow i guess. Bruno was fucking hilarious oh god i almost pooped at one point. Speaking of hitler at one point bruno is seting up a photo shoot for babies and he's like: "ogay so your babeh will be wearing a nazi uniform and pushing a wheelbarrow, and in da wheelbarrow will be another baby dressed as a jew, and the nazi babeh will be pushing the jew into an oven."

My whiny cousin totally ruined our outing though, i can't believe how selfish she was urgh, it's one thing to start fights privately but not in an f'ing public place and in front of someone you barely even know. Well she went home so it's all good.

wow…

Posted at 2:07AM, Jul. 14, 2009

i'm feeling so sick right now…i think it has to do with what/when i ate last night. a little mixture of both…

yesterday i made it to the gym at 630, ran only a mile and a half, in 10:07. then did some leg related exercises. someone convinced me to go to the chow hall, which we did, but then realized we didn't have any cash… so we just went to the shoppette (gas station) and bought some light breakfast. then i worked…and nothing went wrong. got back, and we had lost something…so got that worked out, then texted the wife that she better have dinner ready (i'm so sexist) and then got a reply that she'd been hanging out with one of her friends and already ate!! jerk. anyways, grabbed me a whopper from burger king, and ate at 930. apparently they have increased both the bun and the patty size… then went to bed at 1030.

and i'm still tired, even tho i didn't move the entire time i was sleeping…

Oh man, Oz beat me to the charlie chaplin thing. >:[ That stache is way too big to be hitler.

My doggie is falling asleep and she is trying not to. It's so cute. :kitty: Eventually she will give a big sigh and give up and plonk her head on the floor.

I'm officially on my way to ancient now. 20 years-old as of last night, but acting like I'm 30. I can only hope I turn into one of those Clint Eastwood-type old men.

I got a new phone too, and I can't comprehend this whole touch screen thing. What's so fascinating about using the same technology I've used at the grocery checkout since I was four, just on a phone? The things don't even do anything else special in comparison to a normal cell phone. They just cost more. huh!?

Charlie Chaplin!

I'd say the two are not mutually exclusive!

SSSSHHhhhhhhhh man, you're undermining our consumer capitalist culture!

What're you? A commie or sumthin'? :gem:

Next you'll be questioning big screen TVs…
——————-

Pointless phone story:
The other day when I bought my rug at the expensive rug showroom place, they had all this Apple stuff at the desk where I paid. Big 30 inch Apple cinema screens, iphones on the desk, that sort of stuff.
So I have to pull out my own phone to find my number for the woman to write down on the delivery documents. And as I open it, the lady looks at it in surprise and says admiringly how fancy a phone it is!

It's just a pretty looking mirrored shiny LG slide phone. Does nothing special, just looks pretty.

People used to say that about my previous phone too, even though functionally it was pretty old. I love how wowed people are by pretty design.

But then I love nice looking design too, which is why I got those phones rather than other models…

I'd say the two are not mutually exclusive!

His poor moustache… :(
In pics without it entirely though, he's even freakier.
Reminds me of Groucho Marx. -Very strange when his mo disappears.

AGH I can't draw today! :(

Posted at 12:07PM, Jul. 14, 2009

I can :)
but I failed to get to the colour stage tonight dammit. My comic will be late afterall. but at least I DID keep it loose. I'm mostly happy how the figures look. When something didn't work I'd get rid of it and start again instead of trying to MAKE it work and make it work badly, as I usually do.
That seems to be the key.

Posted at 12:07PM, Jul. 14, 2009

So I'm gonna be going out for a run in a few minutes here.
I'm debating whether I should run with an iPod or not…
Yeah, I think I will. It definitely helps. But I'm most definitely not turning it up as loud as I do.

And I'm only like…20 percent done with this illustration for my comic? It's just a picture, I just like the word illustration more :)
But so far, I only have one character outlined. Fufufufufu. It's going to take forever.
But it'll be worth it.

My friend who just visited the Philippines told me about how the Philippines is also turning into a police state. Yep. No country is exempt from the global push into total police state enslavement.

He said that when you enter shopping malls, there are security guards and/or police armed with submachineguns and/or shotguns searching your bags. But its not a thorough search. Most of the time, the guys doing the search are just in a lazy mood and don't seem to like their job.

What he's saying is true though because I've seen some Philippine news on TV with guards searching everyone entering a school.

This is crazy. This is violation of privacy. This is criminal.

But on some levels though the Philippines is less of a police state than places like China or the UK because they don't have cameras on every street corner, and they don't have all this stupid "political correctness" that restrict freedom of speech.

And their police (generally speaking and according to testimony from my friend and a few other people) have better attitude than the police in North America. Because according to my sources, at least pwede pa silang pakiusapan. (you can still talk to them).

The Philippine police aren't angels though. Yes they are corrupt. Yes they coddle with the drug gangs and the commie rebels and all that. Yes they've done dastardly things like stage riots and make people they don't like to just disappear.

But its interesting to note that they are perceived as better police than the police in North America – in the sense that the Philippine police at least still have more of the humanity in them.

Why is that?

I'm guessing you haven't spent much time in the UK?!

School sports day today: my little girl was on the red team and red team won.

Of course, it's not about winning or losing, it's about teamwork and character building - if you're a blue, green or yellow team lllooooooooosssseeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!!!!

That's because over there armed robberies tend to be more common (from my understanding anyway). Hence the need for armed officers. And I bet they get hazard pay too. T_T

Yes. Notice I said "Officers" as opposed to "Guard". We're not paid enough to throw our lives on the line for our clients, y'know. We're more like night watchmen than bullet bodyblockers, and we won't jump into the middle of a riot unless it falls right on top of us.

EDIT: actually this whole post is gross just warning you now

Slightly NSFW/>_o :

[spoiler] my orgasms down here have been insane, really intense and last almost a minute each. Yeah i know this is another persons house seriously i was going to do it just once for stress relief and it's like 'holy FUUUU-'. Maybe it's the lower elevation/something in the water? God no wonder i'm so cranky in AZ [/spoiler]

Anyways i've been having a nicer time since dr. jeckyll(my cousin) is gone, she's coming back tomorrow though ugh. Her mom(my other cousin) is really hot though, kinda like a pornstar in some of her pics.
…That comment would be 30% less creepy if i had a pic of her to post, but then become 30% more creepy that i had pics of her on hand to post, making me a run-of-the-mill creepy creep. :)

I had a crappy day today. I'm lactose intolerant, but not severely. This summer I have usually had a SlimFast and/or a glass of chocolate milk every day. Today, I decided to have some chocolate pudding and I was in pain for 3 hours. What the hell?
