hope this is appropriate came home from work and was looking for something to eat when i found . . . ( crumpets! )i was under the impression that crumpets were some sort of fancy cake. it turns out they're a lot like english muffins, but with a more spongey texture, and tasting slightly like salt. out of everything that could have been in the fridge, crumpets were certainly the last thing i expected. the second last thing i expected was for them to taste so good. the third last thing that i expected was that i could eat half a pack of them at five in the morning. |

Well, shit...
...I think my wacom tablet just bought the farm.
It's been acting up lately, but now it's just....stopped working entirely. It was in the trunk of a hot car all day...would that be enough to trash it? I mean, that would be a good thing to know, going forward.
It IS eight years old, but still! STILL!
I suppose I'll just go cheap and get a graphire this time around.....?

Needing clothes for a mouse fursuit Hi there, I currently am preparing to set up a commission for a mouse fursuit with someone that would be started sometime in July. Unfortunately, the mouse character I was having a fursuit made of has clothes and unfortunately the one who is going to make the mouse fursuit for me will not be able to make the clothes for it for me. But I was told to post here to see if anyone could help me make the clothes for it. So, if you could make the clothes for the mouse fursuit, please let me know. This is an example of what it will look like in drawing with the clothes on.  Basically, it would be a shirt and pants to be made and I am thinking about having them attached at the waist to act like a jumpsuit with a zippered opening somewhere to put them on and take them off. And I am also interested to see about making them satin. If anyone can commission the clothes for this for me, please let me know, thanks. |

Gene Colan The veteran comic book artist Gene Colan is suffering from liver failure, and there have been a number of postings and updates and efforts on the artist's behalf launched over the last few days that I wanted to link to in case anyone reading is unaware of what's happening and would like to pitch in. I meant to post about this earlier but got sidetracked by the Ben's Charity debacle and work. The simplest thing anyone interested can do is drop Mr. Colan a card or letter just to cheer him up. Well-wishes, sympathy, thanks for a lifetime of fine work enjoyed, whatever. The details, as well as a letter on the subject from Mr. Colan's wife, can be found here. Beyond that, apparently the health issues being faced by the Colan family has taxed them financially, and there are several ways folks can help out if they can and choose to do so. Art by Gene Colan is being auctioned off here. Direct donations can be sent to the Colans through Paypal. The Colans are registered at genecolan@optonline.net . I made a small donation. I wish I could have sent more. I don't know anyone who has a bad word about the Colans (we've met them briefly at two local conventions over the years and they were just simply swell folks), and if I had a dime for every person involved in comics who was a fan of Gene Colan's lovely artwork, I'd have a nice big fat check to send them. Personally, I have tremendously fond memories of growing up on rich, non-house style Colan artwork on Daredevil, Iron man, and especially, especially, Howard the Duck, a comic I loved and was likely heavily influenced by in some way, shape or form. Steve Gerber has passed on, and Gene Colan is ill, and I'm heartsick and wish I had Todd McFarlane money. Or a way to get George Lucas to cough up a few grand in spare change lying around the couches at Skywalker Ranch as a way to apologize for the Howard the Duck "movie". And, hey, Marvel, yeah, it would be nice if they chimed in, but Marvel and DC suits don't necessarily act like heroes, they just make money off them. Okay, the cynicism's starting to leak out, so let's tie this off and wrap it up before I get good and cranky about how the publishers treated the old-timer freelancers who built them up and created their characters, and the U.S health care system and industry. Dirk Deppey's Journalista write-up with further links can be found here. Tom Spurgeon's write-up at The Comics Reporter with further links can be found here. If you're a fan, give it a think, won't you? Every $5 helps. Every letter brings cheer. Skip a few crossover comics this week and send the amount to someone who broke their hand working on hundreds of comics that looked swell and entertained a ton of people. We all say we love the older artists. They ain't getting any younger, folks, and most of them didn't make anything close to the money the Wizard Top 10 studs make working on the characters and concepts the vets bashed out like clockwork in order to pay the bills. It looks like some big guns are coming out to donate items for a benefit auction, which is a great sign and hopefully just the beginning of a major effort on the part of comics professionals and fans. Drop a line, transfer a few bucks. Show the damned love. |

I bought a cheap plastic recorder today after work. It cost five dollars! I also bought a book called You Can Teach Yourself Recorder. It's cute. So far I know how to play G, A, B, C, and D (it's a soprano recorder) and play some stupid little kid tunes on it that have names like "Staircase" (guess what that would sound like) or "Misty Meadow." However, I'm a bit bummed that it's tuned differently. The A isn't really an A, it's more like a G#. That means if I ever want to use recorder in my compositions, I'll have to transpose it a half step or something. Except it's not really a half step, it's a weird step, like a 3/4 step. At least I don't have perfect pitch; otherwise, I'd be more thrown off than I already am. Ugh. But I'll keep teaching myself recorder because it's early musicish. When do I start playing the consort music? Haha. I blew into it in the car on my way home from work, while I was at a long stoplight, and matched a note in Desert Music. I forget now what note it was. |

lemur68's group home for wayward kittehs   I found these little babies outside today. I was sitting here at my desk right after work when I hear plaintive mewing. A head count shows all my girls accounted for; as I live upstairs, I figure it's coming from outside, but baffled as to how. For a second I think maybe it's the cat downstairs, but he'd have to be screaming for me to hear him through the floor. Then I remember the tree. So I go outside to see if I can find this cat; I see one on the porch scurry away as I approach, but I'm still hearing mewing. I look around and can't figure out where it's coming from. I look up into the tree, and I see one. Then I hear two meows, and see another, almost identical cat. Jesus, how many kittens are up there? Is this a cat tree? While I'm standing there figuring out how to get them down, the one who scurried away re-emerges. So now there are three kittens, and they all have the same color. Great, either somebody dumped a litter or they were born stray. But they're not feral, they are all very sweet, so probably the former, which blows. They seem old enough to have been weaned, so I'm not sure if the mommy is/was stray as well. I run upstairs to grab a carrier and scoop up the one on the ground; in that time the two in the tree have managed to climb out onto the porch roof. Well, that makes things a lot easier. I climb out my window onto the roof and grab 'em up; they're small enough that I can hold both in one hand while crawling back in the window. They're currently sequestered in the bathroom. They're a little filthy and were VERY hungry, but seem healthy otherwise. They seem very happy to be inside and to be fed, and I'm happy to have rescued them from starvation, cars, or hawks. I'll be taking them in for checkups and holding on to them for the time being, until I can figure out what to do. My own cats will have to deal with having foster siblings, even though they will be separated. Ginger was giving me the stinkeye like she was my wife and I brought home three prostitutes. They are all very sweet and cute and I'm gonna get attached but AWWWW DAMN I CANNOT KEEP SIX CATS. You know how when you see on the news where this old eccentric is removed from their home and the home is condemned because they have like 80 animals in there? THIS IS HOW IT STARTS. So is anyone local interested in having one or three kittens? Friends get right of first refusal; I would rather not have to burden the no-kill shelter or give them to some stranger from Craigslist who will just feed them to his snake. Current Mood:  insomniousCurrent Music: i don't know some x-treeem d-bag fighting crap or some shit on tv |
