Lucky he didn't have a gun or he'd have been quite a lot more dangerous.
What an imbecile. A selfish, horribile, stupid excuse for a human being! :(

Wow. The Crazies are coming out of the woodwork. You know all those shootings in the mainland US? Well, I knew it would happen here eventually, and it did. A couple nights ago a 20 year old guy drove into the hotel district and ran over as many people as he could (including two babies). When he somehow lost control and crashed into a store, he got out of his car and started stabbing everyone he could reach before the police showed up to subdue him.
Two people lost their lives that day. Fourteen more were seriously injured. All were tourists. The reason? He wanted to hurt as many people as possible. Well, he may have wounded the island with his action. Guam relies on tourists (especially JAPANESE tourists) for its revenue. Thanks to this crazy oriental guy those tourists may be scared to come here. Mind you this sort of thing almost never happens here and Guam is a lot safer than the mainland.

I hope this thing doesn't happen where you're all at… :(
People can be pretty terrible sometimes.
I don't think you have to worry too much about an impact to tourism though, I doubt this story would get much attention outside of Guam and whatever countries the victims were from.

Unfortunately this has become big news in Japan. They see Guam as a very safe place compared to the rest of the U.S. so when something like this happens they become very concerned. Still, I hope for the best…

Japan has far worse violence than what you told us in your story Lonne. It'll blow over. It's not like it was terrorism or a crazy gunman. Still really, really awful of course though! :(

OK, two pics from my drag act:

Real glamour babe.

Posted at 5:02AM, Feb. 16, 2013

Wow… some people look great in drag. Not gonna try that myself, however. I don't look good in a dress… not even a kilt. I'm tempted to try it, though. But then my nieces would probably freak out that their uncle has become their aunt… :)

Nice outfit, Ozone … you make a bonza sheila, fair dinkum, as hot a a roo's carcass on the tarmac at noon … [insert other OTT Aussie phrases here].

Posted at 9:02PM, Feb. 16, 2013

huh could've fooled me if you'd claimed to be your sister/niece, ozone…

Posted at 10:02PM, Feb. 16, 2013

Thank ya boys! Now who'll buy me a drink?

My sister is much prettier than me! ;)

I recorded the Quackcast last night, had a gooood long chat with TheJimmy from Been Beter. The trouble is, it didn't record!!!! T_T
Have to try again tonight.

People fell for that. Now I am beginning to understand how Bugs Bunny in drag was always able to fool guys.

I wouldn't be able to fool anyone even in a burka.

And I finally started photography on the new comic and the first three pages are done. And I shot forty pictures to use four. A new all-time record for me.

Why the hell are there no mens trousers with an inside Leg Length of 37in? There all 36in or 38in what the hell! I can't be the only one with that leg measurement! I mean I'm not that tall!

Posted at 1:02PM, Feb. 19, 2013

LOL OMG Ozone. Dem pictures, and more importantly. DAT ASS. Haha.
You're silly~
In other more irritating news, the only thing worse than cold, is WET and cold. SUDDENLY…RAIN!
= 3 = I feel like wet rat, i'm sure I look it too. BLEH. My old lady joints aren't happy with this.

I can relate. I'm at a new post with no overhead shelter and the high winds make my umbrella useless, and it's been raining every night lately…

You're just too giant for your own good. Better get a dress instead, they're easier :)
Or get your trousers tailored, or even made by a bespoke tailor, it's not always that expensive at all and it can be worth it for a good fit!

You want to spank me, I can tell ;)

Rain can be quite depressing and insidious, I'll give you that. Constant damp is nasty.

The men's ready-to-wear industry is geared towards even measurements. Ever try to find a 35 waist? In dress pants and certain jean brands you can find odd sizes or at least order them on line. I'm pretty sure JC Penny has odd sizes especially on-line. And if so -inclined there's Land's End where the clothing lasts longer than you do.

Then there's dress clothes. Try fitting a 16 1/2" neck 33" sleeve, a 39 inch waist with a 32 1/2" inseam, and a 47 inch chest. When you go to a good men's store you'll find odd sizes in dress clothes but not sports clothes. The only thing is that 1/2 inch on the inseam. So I'm stuck with either 32 inseam (too short) or 34 inseam (too long) or unfinished hems with tailoring costing a lot for the cash strapped. Except my next door neighbor is a seamstress when I can get her. She is busy doing alterations for the rest of the world.

I hear ya on the dress clothes. I've got a 15 1/2" neck and a 51" chest measurement. Try finding a shirt in that. Ain't gonna happen. I had to get custom made shirt for my dress blues. I refuse to wear button-downs as a general policy because of it. Nobody looks good when their chest is bursting out of the shirt or their neck is floating in a sloppy mess of a collar.

Caftans for all I say!
We could all dress like Arabs in flowing robes. I think it'd be lovely, quite stylish… I prefer Tuareg costume though. ^_^

Speaking of all your weird little measurements- in my quest to collect antique trousers, one thing was pretty universal: though all have MASSIVE arse room!
Either people in the old days had HUGE great flabby bottoms, or flapping loose seats in your trousers was a fashion thing…?

———-

I just read a news article where this woman is criticising companies that market douches and things and saying it's all "creating a market" for something that doesn't exist and convincing "silly women" they have dirty vaginas because "Vaginas are actually self cleaning"
…no
Douches and things might not be "needed", but they sure make intimate interactions a LOT more pleasant! It makes a ****load of difference. That's like saying mouthwash and brushing teeth isn't "needed". Jebus, where do they get these people?

When doing Medieval dress-up I used to wear friar's robes. Very comfy.
And yes it was the fashion to have a loose fit in the caboose in the 19th century. Tight fit was preceived as a sign of being a dandy. Even 18th century breeches weren't always tight in the bum though the some wore them that way and certain cavalry riding breeches were actually leather.

And douching goes back to at least the Ancient Egyptians. The first medical literature goes techniques and its necessity. Chronic vaginal infections? Hello? Yeast? Hello? As anyone with a self-cleaning oven will tell you, they don't and you still have to clean it.

Posted at 3:02PM, Feb. 22, 2013

I can't believe we're actually talking about literal douching in this forum. HA!
Everything I have to rant and moan about is depressing so I'll spare you all.

Posted at 7:02PM, Feb. 22, 2013

It's because Bravo and I are douchbags of the highest order. :)

Juno, you are an awesome rock musician and a supurb artist! What could be wrong?

Ugh~ writing does not come as easy to me as it used to. But I figure, it's better to have a story already planned and written down than not. Then I can make a comic out of it. Baha~ my brilliant failed genius. XD

Posted at 10:02PM, Feb. 22, 2013

You could have a brilliant genius for fail ^_^

I KNOW I shouldn't stay up this late, but I do it anyway. Damn my nocturnal tendancies, they're out to ruin me! XD

Posted at 5:02AM, Feb. 23, 2013

I have to do the Quackcast… so tired…

Posted at 10:02AM, Feb. 23, 2013

Had an unexpected trip to the biggest brewery here. Free beer, nuff said. It's amazing that alcohol was banned in 1912, but in 1930's due to trade negotiations with Spain and other countries spirits (40%+) were allowed. It wasn't untill 1989 the beer ban was abolished, cheers to that….
Well it was an allright evening but I lost my jacket at a bar, luckily I found it today I was affraid that it had been stolen but apparently people don't like used leather jackets stuffed with gloves <_<….

Speaking of sizes, there was this girl who I danced with last night. Now I'm not too tall, just under 6ft (180cm ish) but she was considerably taller than me, probably just under 6'5'' (2 meters). To be honest I it was strange, not scary but I felt it was a bit abnormal.

Had a really cool, healthy, strong-ass person die suddenly this week from undiagnosed acute leukemia. Just kinda takes you back a minute. Life is freaking short, friends. Damn.
But on the up and up. My band's releasing a new music video in a few weeks and it rules. The comic is chugging along. All in all, on my end, things are grand.
Ya know, douches make kinda fantastic surprise water guns. Add that into your list of road/tour/roommate pranks. Only surpassed by lighting hairspray on fire under your bandmate's door. God I love pranks. I need to do more.

Posted at 8:02PM, Feb. 24, 2013

Those sound awesome! One thing I've always wanted to try is the powder from capgun caps in an ashtray. The shirt one to stub out their cigs will be in for a little bit of a surprise ^_^

Emotionally down today. Not really far down since I can still smile, but my default setting, my core emotional state, is on a low for some reason. Feel like weight in the chest, a real heaviness on the heart and lungs, tingling in the arms.
Either I'm down or it's tuberculosis :)
