I helped a friend movie two very old book presses yesterday. These things are made of solid iron and they were stupidkerphuken HEAVY!!!! OMG!
I have a pleasant "haunting" from my Czarina past. When organizing the radio plays, I created an email account using"drunkduck" as part of the address.
So there's a company who has come to the misunderstanding that I AM drunkduck. (Bow And Tremble). "Erica" saw one of the featured comics and would like to work with the artist. I don't know which one, so if anyone is interested in the following message, please feel free to go for it.

Or you could pass on her email to me and I can work with her to find out.
It's funny, when I graduated with my BA from university I got that some sort of opportunity.

I was trying to figure out how to post a new comic, looking all over the site. Took me ages to notice the "create" tab at the top of the page.
It's so innocuous. Just sitting there. I think it's somehow so appropriate that it's so unobtrusive.
And I've gone on some other sites and frankly gave up on them because I couldn't find the tab to post my work. It was screaming at me to read the top comics but to get to the tab to post my crap was like finding a needle in a haystack.
The GM of my company is going to be in Europe for the next two weeks on holiday and as the assistant to the GM,that means I get to listen to music in the office with speakers for the next two weeks!
But in all seriousness, I absolutely love and adore my boss, she is an exceptional role-model. I just anticipate the amount of responsibilities that will be funneled to me in her absence.

In other news: Dita von Teese is going to be performing in Downtown Los Angeles this Friday and my mouse is hovering over the purchase ticket button while I figure out the logistics of seeing the show and still getting to work by noon on Saturday.
Also, I am going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter on Thursday, SO EXCITED!!

In hindsight it's obvious.
But it might be a good idea to include a "create" link in the user control panel somewhere.
I know it is weird to be excited about this, but I just got a termination notice for my company. My position ends in September. The reason I'm excited is that I was planning on quitting in August anyway. If I hold out through September, I am eligible for unemployment and a severance package.
And the next installment of "What's my fiasco " my usb hub disconnected corrupting several whole file folders for my comic. A month's work down the drain. But I did the scan and repair and all the list files were recovered. But my laptop doesn't read the "found " folder so I had to use my desktop and change the extensions one file at A time, reopen them in Photoshop and re-save them. There are 900 plus files. Oh joy. But I retrieved the important cheap so life is tolerable.
My day so far;
Cleaning apartment, trip to buy groceries, gardening/checking on my herb garden on the balcony…..Then proceed to staring at the pc-screen for 3 hours when im supposed to work on my comic, or ANYTHING really!
I forgot to take my adhd meds so it might explain it, my attention gets to reddit or even this forum right now! Oh well, at least its taco-night.

Remember when i used to post here so much, that skoolmunkee scolded me, and we turned the rant thread into a yearly rant thread?
It was weird selfies, and i think i was drunk posting all the time…back when it was drunk duck. skoolmunkee chided me, and shortly after that we started dating the threads.
Well, what was it? 2011 when i left. The forums had a tough year that year. and since it was up and down, i decided to leave. Turns out, Drunk duck was the only thing holding my life together.
Went on a deployment sometime that year, leading to my actual divorce. (whew! we finally did it!!)
Got a (non-life threatening or even bad really) medical condition which disqualified me from my dream military job, lost my discipline, made some mistakes in the military, deployed several more times, spiraled further down, left active duty, got bored working civilian jobs, moved to california, joined part time military rescue, went unemployed for a year, then picked up a job at Tesla Motors.
I've been working there for over 2 years now. I was even in Queensland australia last year for the military!
life is pretty good these days. but there's a whole lot more in those gaps, but that's the TL;DR

Welcome back Seventy2, yes, I remember all your forum posts from about nine years ago. Back then you were always being deployed and would always return home with more life stress than when you left.

Guess what I did a few weekends ago, Oz?
A few nights before Dita Von Teese's: Art of the Teese show in LA, I was able to find a ticket at a pretty nice price. I figure, she is one of my fashion/style icons and one of my role models, so I had to see her perform at least once. That Friday I took the early afternoon train to Los Angeles, had dinner in Little Tokyo and then I was on the South end of Broadway waiting in a line of young women in vintage dresses with red lipstick and long black curls. The audience was quite the spectacle.
I walked inside the restored, historic Ace Theater with its early Art Deco interior architecture. The main hall had floral wood cutouts, and I found my seat in the side left orchestra section, the red velvet upholstery cushions dating back to nearly sixty years sinces its last refitting, and I sat with high aniticipation for my first Burlesque show.
Dita came out and did her signature martini glass piece, then a contemporary dancer named Ginger Valentine recreated a classic Dita performamce with her own style. There was a Dancer from Australia who choreographed her dance number to a retro song that would have been played from a gramaphone. There was a M2F transgender that performed a very ethereal piece. A male matador that disguised himself like Zorro. There was a very plump plus size dancer riding on a stationary carousel horse.
In addition to the martini glass, did performed a number with the giant ostrich feathers, one where she lip synced and danced with two male dancers, she closed the night with a Western themed performance that ended with her on a pink upholstered, plush electronic bull where she rode it in slow motion to the heart-pulse beat of the DJ.
The entire show was magical, superb, and mesmerizing. It will definitely go down as one of the best experiences and well-spent evenings in recent history.
