oooo, raw...

well, I think I'm done being sick... & I posted over at chirping krikit the other day...

I think I'm gonna be playing with the new Blogger Beta thing (since I just switched last week or so), so things might be a bit disheveled for a bit...

oh, 3-hour Raw tonight (unless you're on the East Coast, then it's a tad too late)...

"it's not the girl from Eureka?"

man, I absolutely hate it when people spoil animals - they should not have pets...
yes, there's a reason for that rant... & no, I'm not going to say any more about it...

so I saw Painkiller Jane last night... kinda fun - had Richard Roundtree in it... & it was based on a comic by Joe Quesada & Jimmy Palmiotti...
& since the IMDB terms prevent my rebuttal of the daft post I saw on the movie page, I'll just put it here:
"I'm compelled to mention that comparisons to Dark Angel are a joke, as that series was nothing, if not various comic book elements thrown in a blender & genericized...
also, if someone isn't a fan of b-movies & they're watching the Sci-Fi channel, they obviously aren't paying any kind of attention..."

oh, & my Grampa sent a package of cheeses & things (thanks!)...

& I'm working on being online less, but posting more (!)...

I am my own expectorate...

so I've been kinda sick lately - rarely happens, but when it does, it holds on for dear life (so to speak)...

so I wake up every morning & kinda feel better, but then I guess being upright starts the whole trickle back into my throat or whatever, & I'm coughing again - although not so much this morning, I must admit...

so I guess I'm on the cusp, if you will (the only time I can use the word "cusp" & keep a straight face) (nevermind, I just smirked)....

...

oh, and I got two chrismas cards the other day - one from Adam & Jodie, & one from my dad... fun stuff... (both of yours should be on the way)

...

no links today, as the internet & I are not playing nice at the moment... but hey, look at the new link buttons on the side there...
& don't forget to watch Sam Jackson host the VGA's on Spike tonight (you know you wanna)...

"you watched a movie called what?"

so I have a new obsession with Last FM... I like all that posterity crap, heh... plus, I still love finding new music (when the opportunity arises)...
oh, I saw The Marine today... was pretty good (assuming you like action movies) ooo, & there was another Ghost Rider trailer...
& now, the links for my amusement (okay fine, you can be amused too - but don't let it get to your head)...

well, this was supposed to post yesterday, but old blogger strikes again, I guess...

"Bob Dole doesn't need Viagra - it's as stiff as my arm, I tell ya"

well, I kinda hurt my back or something the other night (pushing a van, you pervs)... it's feeling better, but yesterday I could hardly move - I was thinking I was looking like Bob Dole or something, with my arm so constricted...
meanwhile, I have some drawing to do (not to mention I'm so behind on scanning & posting over at chirping krikit)...

oh, & send feedback my way on the changes to the blog (header, chat-box, blufr)

thank you, drive through...

wow, my brain made "Brady Bunch" out of this post...

so el Bunche came up & we hung out on Saturday... we started off bowling & then moved onto other things... the roster included (at various times) Dorothea, Mike R., Linda, Hannah, Mike F., Ariana, & some people we just met (Tiffany, & I believe his name was Aaron)... oh, we even ran into Shawn at Carrow's...

it was alot of fun - didn't expect to see that many people that I haven't seen in forever... gonna make the possibility of going to my ten year reunion even more ridiculous...

...unless Cindy & Greg really want me to go (no seriously, that's the extent of the list)

rants & raves...

man, I thought it sucked being so exhausted lately, but now my neck's been really tight, & I'm just at the point where the pain is low enough for me to concentrate on tightening up some things before class... but those damn jerks in the learning center are looming around... I swear, they need to re-evaluate what their damn jobs are... bastards...

in any event, I have various things that I should've already scanned & put up over at chirping krikit - I've just been so dead... excuses excuses...

oh, & I started using a new comment system from haloscan over the last week or two - has it not been working? or has it just scared away any commenters that might have gabbed a little? maybe email me if you leave a comment so I can see what's going on... thankya thankya...

*oh, one more thing... I posted this yesterday (I thought), but apparently ol' Blogger was having some issues with email posting (unless I'm just special)...
later kiddies...

half-dead...

I got a great quote for ya, courtesy of Dorothea:  "you're cute when you're half-dead"

stop...

I am so...

damn...

tired...

Hulk get mad! Hulk get strong! Hulk get... makeover?!...

man, I'm so diggin' my new blog template (with my first real customized header )... yes, that does mean I didn't get anything new scanned for Chirping Krikit yet, but damn the Hulk looks nice on that header...
& on the bright side - Chirping Krikit will get an equally potent makeover soon...

oh my stars & garters...

man, it's always something... but in any event, I can't feel too bad about not breaking my back over getting papers in on time with such ridiculous opposition - although I can still hope to atleast pass...

such a vile font...

I hate times new roman!  am I the only one?

"to live"...

went to LAXative airport with Joe the other day - we were seeing off his parents (takin' off for two weeks)... I started to try to draw this chick in the food court area, but she got up when I had barely started - oh well, she was uninspiring anyway

& anyways, I've done some fun sketches since then (which I'll be posting at Chirping Krikit sometime later today)(or the next day), so I'll be okay...

watched Ikiru again (doing a paper on it for english class)... if you haven't seen that movie, seriously, you should...

a/s/l?... american sign language?!?...

so the other night, I get messaged by another one of these web-porn-peddlers masquerading as a cybering chick (the script never changes either)...
these things are so ridiculous, so my responses are very silly...

in deference to my mom, who reads this weblog, I've only posted a snippet here - but if you're a deviant & you wanna read the rest, click on it...

oh, & I posted a new writ over at chirping krikit...

you know you wanna Stumble on over...

well, I just got done hooking up the new stumble/digg/del.icio.us code on the weblog here (& over at chirping krikit)... the StumbleUpon thing was put on earlier in the week, but I just got around to putting up the other two... needless to say, I use StumbleUpon...
I'm fairly new to the other two, & I've always liked the simplicity of StumbleUpon... been using it for a few years... comparitively, way before I had even heard of Digg or del.icio.us ...
don't get me wrong, they seem like interesting sites, just new to me... & besides, StumbleUpon seems to be the one that needs more promotion at this point...


oh, & I put up a Patch drawing over at chirping krikit...

is it my fault that ya can't kill me?...

over... whelming...

anyways...
just got in from the gym - hopefully I start going more regularly again...

the Getty the other day was... interesting
we got off to a late start, & the trip kinda got hijacked - add the fact that I couldn't eat or shave beforehand, & you got me disgruntled... atleast for awhile...
the funny thing is, by then everyone else was getting moody from hunger - ha!
1st time I've ever been to the Getty that you couldn't get people to stay long enough to see the garden... amazing

keeping with that feeling, I am really not looking forward to class tomorrow...

it's today already?...

well, today is 24 Hour Comics Day as I explained over in the Chirping Krikit blog...

& later after waking up, I have to go to the Getty - yeah, I know I just went there... it's for English class (yeah, I dunno either).... the funny thing is, the instructor's given us a criteria for evaluating a painting or two that may be bigger than the one's we used to get for various art classes... ah, well... atleast I like going to the Getty...
have you been?... you should go - seriously, it's free (save parking), & it's a nice environment - a museum you could actually go to for various reasons...

maybe I'll write about it with a little more articulation tomorrow (if I don't wait 'till I'm half-asleep)...

crap on a stick...

*vauge to the casual reader alert!*

I really don't see how I'm supposed to get these things done with saved docs not being where they're supposed to be - by the time I realize what happened, it's 1:30am & I no longer care... g'night folks

and now you know...

I'm tired... but before I crash, did anyone know that today (Tuesday 10.03.06) is the "Day Against DRM"? (DRM is Digital Rights Management - you know, the stuff that messed up your computer if you bought the Velvet Revolver CD last year [among others])...
check it out - see what all the fuss is about...

...& knowing is half the battle

Protect your freedom!

I am not my own Grampa...

some years back, I found this old business card of my Grandfathers' on my father's side (whom I never met)... kinda interesting & nostalgic-looking...




the real kicker, it seems, is on the back of the card...



don't ask me - I have no idea...

parting thought before bedtime...

I just saw Millenium Actress... good movie... go see it...
g'night...

oh, & it's my sister's birthday today (9.30), so you should spam her with happy jargon...

the aftermath, part 2...

I guess I was exhausted when I posted the other day... so, here's the elaborated version...

after court, we were practically already in Chinatown, so we hung around a bit - went to this one shop so Joe could get a boba drink (although they hadn't made it yet), & we could get smoothies & bread-type items...
while outside of the shop, Jennifer ended up squeezing this plant, it ended up shooting water in my eye... kinda funny...
then on to the Getty, where we mainly focused on the fountains, garden, & architecture... & for some reason, all of our shoes were squeaking when we were indoors...
then home, via Sepulveda & Sierra...

a little bit 'o justice...

well, it's over... it's fine... they threw out the charge (although I'm still at a loss for what the charge was supposed to be)... the court says leave me alone, officer...

so then we ended up going to the Getty... always nice...
then we took Sepulveda & Sierra all the way home (avoided the freeways)...

but that waking up at 6-ish am crap is gettin' to me, so I'm gonna go take a nap folks... wake me if anything interesting happens...

"the man" ...

so I just posted a silly little sketch in my art blog...

let's see, what else... oh, I'm goin' to court tomorrow - hopefully "the man" won't lock me up...
I'm going in for a bogus warrant that someone else with my name got on the metrolink - I don't even ride the metrolink (especially not around the time this was supposed to happen)... but that's not the part that could trip me up... see, I've got a an upaid traffic ticket - so they could be dicks about it... but that situation just reminds me of something my mom often used to say - "you can't get blood out of a turnip"... if you got ears, here that, cracka's...

thing's will probably be okay - not pleasant - but okay...

tired...

man... I am so not a morning person... gotta meet with my English teacher today (in lieu of class) we have the week off, but we gotta meet with him one day this week to go over our current paper...

then tomorrow I gotta go to court down in L.A. - more on that later (maybe)...

question... who likes mashups?

happy birthday mom!...

yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we went over to Crazy Otto's for her free meal - their veggie-burger isn't the best, but I suppose I should be happy they have one at all...

then we watched movies (Wagons East & Dr. Strangelove) & ate ice cream (!)... fun stuff...

let's try this again...

I'm not too happy with having to confuse the whole blog issue again, but here we go... maybe this one will turn out better...

I need photography-gloves...

apparently, timing is still everything... I'm still not sold on digital-inking... I found my kneeded eraser (!)... & hopefully, I'll upload something tonight...

today's links...

• the 30-day rule
• is collecting doomed?
• hurts like teen spirit

...

... why the hell...

the internet is for...

well apparently there's no internet at home for a little bit, so I'm pretty much just gonna be on at school (that's okay - myspace is wearing thin anyways)... but if you actually message me for some reason, keep in mind you won't get a response until I can get somewhere & respond...

what's my blog worth?...

this is hilarious - I entered in the url for my art blog & got this...

My blog is worth $1,693.62.
How much is your blog worth?

even funnier, I then entered the url for this one...

My blog is worth $0.00.
How much is your blog worth?

html-raped...

did I just use that as the title? ha ha ha ha... well anyways...

so, I recently discovered that my art blog (along with this one) wasn't showing up correctly on Internet Explorer... thanx for tellin' me kids (!)...

I hadn't noticed because I use Firefox, & it always showed up the way it was supposed to... I know not everyone has caught on to the whole Firefox thing yet, but yeah...

so then, after noticing the problem a few more times, I checked the blogger help section with any keywords I could think of at the time - but to no avail... so I sent them a message asking why my sidebar was under the blog & what I could do to correct the problem...
I got a message back with a link to the correct help article, & promptly went about fixing my art blog... & it worked...

but low & behold this morning... the one you are currently reading (or not reading, depending on the annoyance factor of the way it looks) was not only incorrect in Internet Explorer, but also in Firefox, as well (!)...
of course I then went into the mode of trying to fix the damn thing, same as the art blog, but nothin' doin'... I adjusted the images that were too big for their fields (per the help articles instructions), but as of this writing, it still looks like the blog is standing on the sidebar's head - friggin' great...

maybe I pissed-off Blogger with my insolent questioning... on the other hand, it could just be a coincidental hiccup caused by all this updated & blogger beta stuff that's goin' on...
(pssst... if you can help, this would be a good time to comment)

*ammendment - this was originally posted at jiminykrikit.blogspot.com... which should tell you that the problem didn't get resolved without me having to move again (albeit barely)... just bookmark www.gammakrikit.tk & you'll move along with me, should this ever happen again...

vent, vent...

what the crap is up with all these simple things taking so much effort or ending up lacking...

*if this part (or parts) doesn't make sense to you, it's probably not supposed to:

books I haven't seen yet... eating... a green pig... a talk that's beneficial to one party only... never trust virgotic females that play the victim &/or devil's advocate (it's damn-near the only way they know)... one long thumbnail... I don't wanna wear a tux!... an empty but unused 'puter lab... pain is better than numb - period... an underhanded attempt at imposing one's opinion (& a suspect filter)... oh, where is my hairbrush... leave the socks alone!... & finally - yes, double-standards happen & no, it is never okay...

bad situations not withstanding - between crappy motivations & other selfishness in general, it's a wonder anything happens at all...
