Been busy this new 2010.. busy and working and reading. I will post my reso’s soon, but I just haven’ found the time between MPF, reading and work. Anyway, I’m totally psyched because I will finally be doing something fun in this freakin’ city tomorrow. Since I’ve moved here, I’ve yet to find something here I’ve wanted to do that wasn’t done already in Vancouver that I could compare to.

Hikki is here and I’m totally going to secretly marry her. Can’t w82b8.. 2l8.

I’ve been watching How I Met Your Mother like a crack feen lately. I recommend it if you haven’t seen it. Anyway, the legen-wait for it.. dary, NPH is on this show which brought me back to this web thing that I’ve been hearing about for the last couple months. There was this web “show” called Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog and honestly, I had tried to watch it before (it’s a 3 parter..) and I never made it past the first few minutes of act 1. Today I did, and ended up finishing the series which lasts a total of, I don’t know, 30 minutes maybe?

Worth it.

I sometimes wish I lived downtown in a cool apartment where I could practice the art of Creepskeeting.. then I remember I randomly blow money.. on everything.

I am going to draw again following suit with Andy and his draw mania.

Lastly.. i’m at work and I don’t have time for this, or anything for that matter it seems. Youuuuuuu sonvabeetch

So I found an urge to read a book recently. With the incredibly uncontrollable “wann-it-nao” feelings pulsing through me, i settled for an audiobook version which i was originally going to just find online somewhere and download, because you know, the innernets is crazy like that. Then after some research (random clicking) i found that the author had put the book up out of his own pocket and was not enforcing it with DRM. My heart went a-flutter and i decided i’d give him his money for his morals in exchange for some of mine.. which is incredibly rare when it comes to anything of this nature. The website took my monies and the download was not available due to some shoddy programming.

So, annoyed, i sent an email but don’t expect a response anytime soon (read: NAO.) Needless to say, 2 mins later i find myself downloading a copy of it somewhere else for free this time.. but feel somewhat guilty.. but not really since i shelled out cash for it with the receipt number still in my legacy OS’s clipboard due to the aforementioned email. Is this a crime to steal something that is digitally delivered without drm even though i paid for it? I sort of feel like a thiefy internet Robin Hood.. stealing from the thieves to give to myself.

Ah well, I’m already doing it and i’ll justifying it by saying that I paid for it, but am picking it up at a different location.. much like buying online at bestbuy and picking it up elsewhere.. yeah. That’s eggsactly the same.

So I’ve bought myself yet another new toy.. a new more portable toy. Though the x200 is not nearly as sensitive as my mega cintiq, this one is awesome because i can work on it anywhere. The only huge pain in the ass is that the default Lenovo drivers didn’t support pressure sensitivity in non-windows applications which left my photoshop gibbled and i might as well have just used paint for everything. Luckily I found wacom’s hidden asshole drivers that finally worked. The ones that are “posted” on their site didn’t work.. i can only hope the ones i have aren’t some insane beta ones that will rape my new toy.

*snap… snap.. snap*

As I’ve been saying for the last week or so, “Triangles are the stupidest shape.” Ugh

I’ve been involved in a few of these geometric wonders in my past years and it’s a pain in the ass. I’m a firm believer in the circle. That’s a shape I can get down with. They’re perfect for birthday occasions where you sit in one of these modern marvels and everyone can talk to each other and nobody feels like they’re left out unlike these unruly shapes like square or rectangle. There’s always going to be a side or corner that will feel ostracized from the group.

Dot-squad is back woo! And it’s back in the form I always wanted it to be in since highschool. A group site where me and those connected to me on the internet can post stuff to. I’m excited because it will be the first time in forever that i’ve done a group blog, and the pressure is off me to be the soul content provider.

So, if you want to contribute and are on my good side, drop me a line and i can set you up an account over there. And now.. to fall over and sleep.

Considering my last upgrade was version 2.4, lol i missed out on .4 revisions of this crazy version 2 they have going on. Good thing is that I was able to get rid of a few of the plugins I had to upload a picture to my post with thumbnailing capability since they included it here.. and everything is more slick looking.

I worked till 10:30pm today and am shit ass tired.. of work that is. I couldn’t do anymore, well i’m sure I could have but i really didn’t feel like it. So what did i do? i cam ehome and tinkered with word press. Some notes:

• Manually upgraded NextGen Gallery plugin so i could have my snazzy side bar styled how i want (over here->)
• Had to mess with akismet comment spam blocker again to get my non-fancy spam frags on the side bar (also here ->

pimpin’ with my dad in front of my place

… and image align-center doesn’t work by default. lame

So, things that are new with me that I feel is important enough to post about:

I recently have had the urge to shave my head.. yet again. I tried this stunt back in 2005 which resulted in a super low maintenance hair cut and my mom not talking to me for about a month haha. Well, now that I’m out on my own and not under the watchful eye of my parents, i went and bic’d my head. Maybe the correct term is Head Bladed. Took about 30 mins in total to use the clippers to shave off the mop, then use the Head Blade to give my dome a new car smell. It only took so long because of the stupid area behind the ears and that pesky blind spot on the back of my skull.

So here are a few pics from the weekend. There was a few from a gravel pit thing under the bridge but at ISO3200 they look like butt to me after off loading them on the comp. These ones didn’t look too bad considering my idiot camera settings.
