Not saying you look that bad, but maybe you don't need makeup. :)
I wonder why women want the "natural" look, then put on a ton of makeup. Wouldn't looking natural not involve makeup at all? Oh, well… better not burn my brain with questions like those…
Heh… been playing The Sims 3 more than I should. My Sim had twin daughters whom I've seen gone from infants to teenagers in the space of a few days. And this feeling I get watching them grow… I wonder if I should let them fly the coop or have them stay with their parents. I bet when parents send their adult children out into the world the feeling they get is more… profound…
Oh, well… here's a couple screenshots of the children in their final week of childhood. They're teens now. But while they're identical twins, they couldn't be more different. One's brave and athletic, and the other is a logical genius.

And you were too much into using the bathroom to stare yourself in the face there and besides who knows what monsters lurk behind the mirror in public restrooms?
I believe in Bloody Mary…
I finally saw that Pirates of the Caribbean film last year. Captain Jack Sparrow is without doubt the very worst theatrical pirate that was ever created, and I'm including D movie versions and porn actors too.
He looks good in stills and Dep is actually a nice guy, but that "drunk" character is awful.
I just had to say that,

Seems like a contradiction but it's not. The key word is "look".
In reality not many people have nice, smooth, flawless skin with small pores, all one colour, no shadows, wrinkles, unwanted hair, etc.
I mean, you meet people who do, but even most professional photo and catwalk models don't.
So the point of the "natural look" is simply to look like you've got great, young, good-looking skin naturally.
And it works. As we see in advertisements, movies and TV all the time.
It's not ALL Photoshop guys, it never was.
If I was a woman I'd wear makeup all the time ^_^

Panda Eyes? That's the current fashion. Heavy mascara on both edges of the eye like Captain Jack Sparrow. I saw a waitress that looked like that last week, all thsoe glossy celebrity rags my wife subscribes to have picutres upon pictures of people in this style.

maby that's what happened Ayes. i barely wear mascara to and sometimes when i do, i forget im weraing it and rub my eyes and it smears it like that, then i look like i just threw down with someone. Gregory House would be proud of your deduction though.

HAW! finally found a job! was prayin and prayin and wham! finally got it. this monday im starting at the metal recyclery. i'm a metalhead literally AND figurativley now! and i can also make enough money to start travelling to archaeological digs now and get my career going! IM ON MY WAY SUCKER!! man this feels great!
@PIT - I'm sure it was a rub-of-the-eye thing. And I'm not a big fan of the Panda look either.
but on the upside, it inspired me to do an outrageous Gloria Swanson impression (from Sunset Boulevard - the ol "I'm ready for my close up" thing) that got Roku smiling again as she mourns the absence of her laptop.
Sorry about your Panda eyes, ayes.
Whenever I've thought "oh! she looks pretty today!" enough so to say something to a fellow student/coworker, almost without fail the woman would say
"WHAT? I rolled out of bed five minutes before I had to run out the door! I'm a MESS!"
That natural look can't be beat!
…I should say, though, that I DO enjoy the black around the eyes look. Not sure why that should be attractive, but somehow it is.
Pit Face:
CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome!
Here's a weird idea I got about "animal cruelty"… What if you feed your pet in your backyard in the same place every day, but yet he's gotten very skinny and may be starving? But when the investigators check things out the see that it's your neighbors dog that's been going under/over/through the fence and stealing your dog's food while you're gone… because that neighbor trained him to do so? Are you cruel for not watching your dog eat, or is he for training his dog to steal food that's not his?
Just needed to get that out of my mind before I go any further into insanity than I already am. Doesn't help that I thought I fixed my pipes to my house, then get a $300+ water bill (I normally pay $30-$40) for the last month due to a leak that I can't see. So I did the only thing I could. Filled several buckets full of water from the hose and several jugs full of drinking water, then cut off the main to my place. If that "electronic" water meter still reads that I'm using up thousands of gallons (when I normally use less than 500) then I can prove it's faulty (I have a lock on my main so it won't "turn by itself")…

It's just something I've been wondering about. I watch too many animal shows I think and during those long boring hours at work I think about things like this. Probably inspired by that one show where a neighbor's rotweillers(spelling) broke into a home and killed the small dog that in there and the neighbor not feeling any remorse for it.
I'm more thankful that things aren't more exciting… like recently when some teenagers tried to make off with one of the tenant's mopends. They didn't exactly get away with it in their posession, though. They got away, but that moped was too heavy for them to carry out quickly.
I've only talked to one of my schoolmates since I graduated, but somehow I still got myself invited to a party with some of them. I'm a little bit proud of myself. My first instinct was to make up an excuse not to go, but I went and it wasn't bad at all. Although I was very aware of my hands being sweaty the whole time.
Now I'm too hyped up to go to sleep, though.

Congrats on the job, pit!
I just saw the first Ironman film for the first time, it wasn't bad. The second one was lame so I wasn't expecting much for this one. It wasn't just the action and pizazz you'd expect, their was a kernel of cleverness.
With very good performances by good actors.
Then I watched the first Austin Powers movie for the first time and wasn't too impressed.
The DVD was messed up, so maybe it got better at the end, but I doubt it.
Basically I thought it was just dong a pastiche gumbo of Get Smart, I Dream of Jeanie, The New Avengers, Jason King, The Pink Panther, Batman, Carry On and many other 60s-early 70s classics and contrasting them a little bit with the 90s.
That was ok, but for that sort of humour and style the originals are WAAAAAY better at it in every sense.
-And it wasn't a spoof on those old classics either, it was a straight out honest borrowing. The originals were already campy and spoofy anyway. It's really more of a homage than anything else.

Congrats on the job Pit!
Monel is my new favourite metal.
I learned about it yesterday. I love it :)
Wow Oz, you've been on a movie revue marathon lately! And congrats Pit on the job!! You want to become an archeologist? I'm not gonna lie that's pretty awesome! I love history and all the mystery to it… pity schools tend to try and make it sound so drab and boring :P
.
Oye vey I'm bad at keeping up with forums :P I tend to only come on here when I'm about ready to go nuts and need an escape (not that I'm all that sane to start with) So let's see here…
- I turn 21 in about a week and a half (the 15th) and seriously it's the first year that it's starting to hit me that I'm getting older (don't laugh all you older than me I know you can relate) Haven't decided yet if I should be freaked out or excited about this :P
- I think I'm finally starting to make progress on this switch from Aviation to General Business after about…. 6 or 7 months of arguing. So provided I survive this semester I should only have about 3 more courses I need to do to be done school… though as I'm taking 1st 2nd and 3rd year courses all in the same semester they haven't made surviving all that easy.
- Still trying to figure what I want to do when I get out of school. Ultimately what I want is simple. I just want to help others accomplish all that they can in life and find some ways to trigger progress around the world…. though that's not really all that easy for a 21 year old going along on his last few funds
- Finally in whatever spare time I force into my schedule for sanity's sake I've been working on rewriting Chapter 1 of my comic Wireless that I lost about a year ago. Considering it started as kind of a short story comedy I wrote to experiment with a new art style I'm kind of impressed (and relatively shocked) as to what it's grown into. I mean I'm no Jim Lee but I've actually been starting to see a loyal fan base growing despite my utterly obvious lack of art talent. Just one of those moments that makes all the time spent drawing these things all the more worth it :)

Phewph, not gonna lie this forum's almost therapeutic some times. Before I go though! http://www.pvponline.com/2000/07/21/fri-jul-21/ Giant Panda

So. Maybe I have one eureka moment per month. maybe. Some are really lame, but it's always some kind of revelation for me. But today's Eureka is heavy duty. It's the answer to something that has perplexed me for MANY years:
Why The forkin Hell can't my husband Ever push the chair back in under the table - or turn off the light/TV when he leaves the room - or push the drawer back into the cupboard - or freaking just not Stack unassociated papers together?!!? WHY! it's really not that tough.
Why? today I finally understand. In a past life, my husband was a poltergeist.
Not sure what to do with this newly gained info. Gosh darn it!! Where IS Kyupol when you need him?

I am working on an interesting new project, the idea has been a long time in the making but only very recently me and the rest of my team actually started work. We will be spending the next 20 weeks building a short 3D animation, sort of a promo for a video game we will hopefully one day be creating. Check me and the rest of team Jigglephysics out at either Jigglephysics.com or Project-sand.com
Do it Naow!
NAOW!
NAOW!
Being someone with limited funds, I need to pick and choose what I want to indulge myself with. However thanks to this kickstarter drive, I'm super interested in buying the entire comic collection of the order of the stick.
How excited am I, might you ask? Well, excited enough to create my own thread about it on the Media Megaforum.
ATTENTION!
For those of you curious to know about the current direction of DD and its parent company Wowio, here are a couple of sources.
You can see Brian Altounian (head of Wowio) talking about plans on CNN here:
- http://www.youtube.com/user/Pleasureellis?feature=mhee#p/f/34/MEYe2d4euqs
And the very LATEST here:
- http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-737683
The vids are pretty technically focussed on business lingo, but don't be fooled into thinking it's bullshit and blather. He's just talking about making the company public and also describing what the company actually does in order to attract the attention of potential investors.
As far as that concerns DD, the idea is that when they have public money onboard they'll be able to restart development.
But it's all a waaaaaaiiiit because it's a fricken looooong process.
If you want more current info on the company and the guy in charge it's all in their respective Twitter accounts:
http://twitter.com/BrianAltounian
http://twitter.com/wowio
All that info has always been pretty easily accessible, but I only thought about posting it because of the "health of the Duck" thread in the Debate and Discussion forum.
The major problem I have with "the Duck" is the that they took away
user advertising, such as Project Wonderful ads. Basically, they want to
make money off of our content, but they don't want the creators of the
pages to share in that revenue stream.
Watching that video, for
all it's promise of public financing of expansion, and so on, just made
me pissed off because the discussion was all about money and advertising
… with no mention of the people creating that content for them
(characters were mentioned, but only as things to be more broadly
marketed so as to generate more income).
I'm tempted to leave the
site and delete my content because I don't see the value to me of their
current model, nor do I see them changing things in the future. I
particularly don't see the reason why any of the really popular comics
on The Duck are still here. Every click you get on this site is, in the
langauge used in that CNN segment, wasted revenue for your product and a
negative growth potential for your brand.
Wowio need to modify their paradigm, buzz word, buzz word, buzz word, etc …
