even as a student who turns here far more than he should because classes warp reality causing time to slow down to the point that 1 hour feels like 3 hours…. where was I going with this??… oh ya… even as the above said I still have trouble keeping up with this forum :P
.
I'm still excited to return in the soap… it's brief but it's almost like when you see yourself in the background of a commercial! Maybe next week?? Who knows. :P
.
I wouldn't really look for an acting job but if I did I think it's my secret dream to be a voice actor. I love doing voices and sound effects and it just seems so much fun!
.
ps @Oz: I totally should! I'd call it Macattackproductions!… or maybe some name that wouldn't get me sued or be based off my 18 year old computer name :P Still I don't know if I'd be who's best to make such a company but it'd be worth it
Hope this one brightens someone's day. I came up with it the other week.
I went to a casino once and instead of playing cards, I sat down at the
all you can eat brisket and T-bone buffet for several hours. Eventually,
a hostess came by, disturbed, and asked if I'd like to go play some
games instead. And so I told her, "I don't like to gamble when the steaks are this high."

There's one thing I have to say about Mass Effect 3. The manual? It really IS in the game itself. Which I find annoying. If I hadn't found it my exploration in the game would've been more frustrating. And I'll spoil this so no one else gets frustrated.

In reaper controlled systems you can scan for waypoints to resources (fuel, intel, stashes of credits). But the more you scan, the more the Reapers become aware of the Normandy SR-2's presence in the area. Once they're fully aware they'll enter the system and chase the Normandy 'til she flees the system. You can then risk going in and retrieving the resource by going back in and doing your best to avoid the Reaper ships, or you can do one mission and all the systems reset (the Reaper ships will be gone and you can start scanning again.
[/spoiler]
I hope that didn't anger anyone. :)

Gosh, I have zero tolerance for caffeine. The line for me between energized and jittery is very fine. I knew I should have gotten a small ice cap because a medium is always too much for me, but I was especially tired. Now I'm super on edge.
I feel for you Hippie - caffeine rush is truly the worst.

I have discovered that playing the didgeridoo is exactly like riding a bicycle: once you master the circular breathing you will never lose it. You will also never sleep again without snoring loudly (that part doesn't apply to bicycles).
I think this must be why Aussie Aboriginals do that dream time thing - it's the only way you can get a decent kip without waking yourself up every five minutes.
@ironscarf: I have a didgeridoo, but I've never been able to figure out the circular breathing unfortunately.

Now I'm feeling all hot and itchy like I do before my attacks. I really have not been taking care of myself lately, so it's my own fault. Cheering myself up with some Falco.
On the subject of tattoos, the needle concept is vastly glorified. Most folks think of traditional needles and tattoo needles are much less… well, terrifying looking. Fill-in needles don't even look like needles - they look like freaked out markers. :) Personally, it's more annoying than it is painful. I like the Vicks vapor rub analogy - that's pretty spot on. I want more!! That's one thing about it - it's definitely an addiction once you start on it.
In other news, I'm HERE! Which I didn't foresee happening again for a while. But apparently my art faucent in my brainpan got turned back on. So I'm writing and drawing and ignoring my studies (which I'll regret quickly). I've really missed being amongst comicking folk. The music industry is vicious and that's saying a lot considering I grew my spine when first starting my webcomic. That perverse level of competition rears its head like something out of a foriegn horror film - lots of lies, lots of fakeness, lots of bullshit. Needless to say, I look forward to spending more time here where people aren't assholes and even the ones who are aren't people you want to punch in the throat. XD
All the arseholes left from here a while ago, so things should be fine here.
It's not toooo busy generally, but we keep things going. ^_^
I have nasty weird nerve twinges and pains in my wrists after doing some heavy moving yesterday… Hopefully that won't get in the way of my drawing! I'm currently working on TWO pages of Pinky TA at the same time and at work I'm doing a faux 1920s Art Deco poster for a musical play as a favour to my boss. It's surprisingly fun and shockingly close to the real thing… I seem to have absorbed so much 1920s that this stuff is in my blood now.
Either that or I just got lucky.

I have really been feeling resentful lately because of my poor self-image. Any tiny slight all of sudden becomes a catastrophe and the smalles omission is suddenly a deliberate smear. Then there's the horror that I'll be eclipsed by any and all who offer the least bit more than I have. It's like here I am having worked and strived and done my best for so long and along comes Mr. Newbie ingratiates his/her self just right and I'm yesterday's news and they get all the acclaim and I'm left doing the lion's share of the work with no acclaim.
There are plenty of people out there who work tirelessly, endlessly and get nothing. Then there are those who think they did something and deserve recognition even though what they did wasn't all that much.
Built the main set for the comic and right now working on redressing it for its other roles. I reviewed the list of scenes and it may not be as hard as I thought to redo the set between scenes. But I have a feeling I'm over crowding the set with characters.

@bravo - Feel that pain. A lot.
Quite honestly not looking forward to going back to class from Spring Break. I got so much accomplished over the last week. I don't want to go back to the place with the childrens.
Edit: I'm pretty sure this new forum system hates me.
Enjoying Mass Effect 3 multiplayer a bit more than I thought I would. At least no one's demanding that I have a microphone on me. Don't know if the game uses them. One thing I don't like is having to fight [spoiler]Banshees[/spoiler]. Those things are scary… I think I'll leave it there and hope no one else ends up terrified after fighting them the first time. :)
@ Juno-
The forum system hates us alllllll!

Cursing is 100% allowed. We don't have any rules about it. As long as people aren't curing other people. I think we've just defaulted into a very genteel, non-cursing place, even without any rules.
@ Bravo - don't worry, we all feel like that when someone moves into our perceived turf, whatever that turf is.
And I am one of the worst for that! The amount of times I've been butt-hurt and emo about those sorts of things over the years… wow.
But don't worry, we all still love and appreciate you here at DD man with all you've done in so many, many ways for the community man. You're a solid gold treasure to us. I'm pretty sure most people would agree with that.
…the most embarrassing US senator ever…
Not politically, he's just weird.
Sausages and coffee before bed are not a smart idea. NOR is having a tablet beside your bed either!
Searching for random crap on the net does not help one sleep. At least now I know that women also have visible adams apples, so that's one question answered…
Got my ankle pretty much shattered yesterday during combatives training. I got blown backwards off my knees and my boot caught on the floor matting. My ankle made quite possibly the loudest crack I've ever heard out of a human body and now I can't walk. It really quite pathethic. I can't even manage the distance across the room much less across house to my work desk. Which basically leaves me stuck sitting in bed watching movies, reading comics until I can manage to heal enough to go back to work. I'm quick healing, but this still annoys me. I don't make that much these days as a freelance designer that I'm too comfortable spending a day laid-up much less potentially another couple weeks. I guess this means that I have that much more time to read comics and slack off like I always wanted to when I was employed full-time though, so that's kind of a plus.

Ozone stop trying to justify sleeping with a trannie.
Dammit! >_<
Hahaha, naw, the idea about adam's apples stuck in my head. I was surethey were common to both sexes so I had to research it. Apparently it's true. All the crap about being able to tell a female impersonator or trannie by their neck is a myth.
No, the way you tell a trannie is by their penis ;)
It's one of those strange things- I've been drawing women for decades and their necks are not always smooth in the front and men's necks aren't always bumpy… So finally I had to know the truth!
And found the Adam's Apple thing is an urban myth:
Men's are generally more prominent, yes, but not on all men by a long shot, and many women have prominent ones too because everyone has one.
…the more you know….

Now from my interest in archeology I know that one can tell the sex of human remains so one can certainly determine the sex of a live person. The Hips and pelvis are the sure indicators. No transsexual can have the attitude of their pelvis changed and their hips splayed. One has to learn how to look for it and observation is a difficult skill to learn. Everyone sees lots of stuff but being able to evaluate that accurately is hard. My favorite example is UFOs. I see lots of lights in the sky all the time, but I have yet to see a UFO.
We must now ALL find the cartilaginous lump in our throats that protects our voice boxes on our larynxs! just to prove we have one! ^_^
If you're the average guy, Anne Coulter, Sandra Bullock or Madonna, that'll be easier for you than others.
-It's a given that all those celebs are avid Drunk Duckers.
As for hips being a good sex indicator- Even that can be fooled unless you can see the skeleton unfortunately. I've seen many wide hipped, narrow shouldered men in my time, and many broad shouldered, narrow hipped ladies too.
As with the Apple it's more a general tendency than an absolute rule of gender difference. (unless you have a skeleton to see). It IS more reliable than the adam's apple though!
Had trouble with the trains yesterday, so I walked quite a distance to get home, in the heat, carrying two heavy shopping bags. -Only about 2.2 miles, or 3,6 KM, so not an extreme distance, but far enough on a hot day with heavy shopping.
So last night I had sore feet, surprise surprise.
This morning the left one still hurt, it hurt worse… Again, not surprising. I jst assumed I'd bruised my insole or something.
This afternoon is hurts even worse, especially when wearing a shoe. So I actually bothered to look at it What a bulbous swollen horror. -_-
No bruises: it's swollen. THAT is why it's been getting worse, why shoes hurt it etc etc.
What I don't get is how the walk yesterday resulted in this??????
Sounds like a blister. But I'm not there so I really can't say. Something as simple as a good pair of socks and none of this would have happened. Something rubs against something else and the next day your foot is swollen. Something as simple as Foot powder and good clean properly fitted socks can make all the difference in the world.
Oh and never break in a new pair of shoes on your first hike. The shoes won't get broken in but your feet will get all torn up.
Why can't I find anything? I have all this stuff and I can't find anything! What's more the longer I look the les likely it'll be that I'll be abel to do anything creative when I do find the stuff. Set dressing sucks. Now I know why the low people on the totem pole are the ones stuck doing this drudgery. And no one will ever notice what's there and what isn't either. I really doubt anyone ever noticed the completely stocked liquor cabinet in the back of the office in Attack of the Robofemoids. Or the scratchbuilt typewriter and microscope.
But I know it's there and when I need the prop there it'll be on that shelf in the background so I don't have to do hunting all over for it when I need it for a scene.
