griffinwolf @ 07:46 pm: Random stuffs
Expecting the Border collie head in the next week or three. Already started collecting some clothes to wear it as a partial (otherwise would wear Corey's body-suit and paws). Need to find some pants, and a cane. So far only paid $22 on a shirt and vest for it. Not bad, if you ask me...


Bad news:
Haven't found job yet.

My Nintendo DS-Lite decided to have the plastic break at the hinge on the right side (I think this is where the 'ratchetting' gizmo is for this thing). It's cracked right now, but that ratchet strains the plastic more and more.... probably going to have to buy a new DS, maybe. We'll see what happens after it does break off.

geddcoon @ 04:47 pm: more useless toys
I spent two nights at my uncle's office, working on migrating his server data and a bunch of other random things. He was going to junk all his old computers, which were from before Y2K. I really like the cases, they're all so well-designed.

These, I will take!
 PowerEdge 2400, Pentium-III 533MHz, with SCSI RAID and DDS3 tape drive
 Optiplex GX110, Pentium-III 667MHz

He's also recycling these, and thankfully I didn't opt to take them:
 Optiplex GX110, Pentium-III 500MHz (QTY=2)
 a bunch of CRT monitors

I bought a 2nd Pentium-III processor for the PowerEdge for $3, and maxed out the RAM for a few bucks more. I always wanted a nice, high-quality server. I just had to be patient. I wonder if it will run Windows 7?

It's not WHERE or WHAT you do.

It's WHO you're with.

That's life.

I believe in this whole heatedly, especially after just the beginning of this vacation of mine.

mysterymrglenn @ 04:50 pm: XBLA Indie games
Holy crap theirs actually a fairly quality lookin game in the indie section of Xbox Lives game market place. Its called Tobe's Vertical Adventure. Check it out. the art style is very P.Robertson and the game play is a lil reminiscent of Cave Story.

geddcoon @ 12:22 pm: Airport insecurity
KCRW had an excellent discussion about airport security last night. In summary, the heightened screening is just for show, designed to make us feel safer. It doesn't actually make us safer, it only causes terrorists to change tactics. And how ridiculous is it that the underwear bomber, a foiled terrorist plot, was still extremely successful in spreading terror? The program aired yesterday, around 11:00pm. I wanted to find a transcript or a recording of it, but it seemed the show was not saved in the archives. :-(

And my own (minority) opinion, I'd rather have a minuscule chance of death than a 100% chance of inconvenience and loss of civil liberties. Even more so if the inconvenience and loss of civil liberties do not significantly reduce the chance of death by terrorism. Don't the panics and crackdowns caused by any terrorist activity, foiled or not, only serve as positive reinforcement to the perpetrators? It is just so darned easy to get a rise out of us, it's pathetic. All they have to do is say "We're here. Boo!" and we freak out.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to accept that there is uncertainty in the world, and that they will never be 100% safe. No matter what precautions you take, there will always be a chance that somebody will kill you. It probably won't happen, so get over it and get on with life.

doc_moreau @ 09:28 pm: Process
Generally if i have words in a song i write them after the music is created, or partly created. Usually the words are inspired by the music and not the other way around (Though not always)
Anyhow, in case anyone cares to know, this segment is what i had looping in my headphones for the last hour (was it an hour? might have been longer, wasn't keeping track) while i wrote the verses of my previous entry.

If a piece of music has a feeling embedded within it, whether it;s one that i project or not, i enjoy riding it for a while... becoming intimately familiar. The words come easier that way.

I really like this segment of music, but i'm not sure what to do with it or how to make it fit into something else. I've actually been struggling with it off and on for a while. It's a pretty thick snake to wrestle... Ah well, i'm sure when the right opportunity comes along to meld it into a greater whole, i'll know.

doc_moreau @ 09:08 pm: I'm always a downer
outside in the lightless fallow
waiting in the darkest night
embracing every dying moment
waiting for the morning to come

it clutches screams to its blackhole bosom
like tiny birds locked in a cage
some of the anguishes die fettered on the perch
and by breaths of libertine breeze some soar free

through

a high window cracked
or a door left ajar
whisper those echoes now when all's gone still
waiting for the morning to come

concrete coloured by time
unthinkably precise
a geometry to segregate fading todays from tomorrows
and dividing deaths from life

outside in the darkest crucible
waiting in the lightless night
holding close the passing hours
waiting for our moments to die

letting go of hope with the advent of the rising sun
no more waiting, now the morning has come.



EDIT: And i'll refrain from making another entry, i know no one gives a crap about poetry anyway... I seem to be in a writing mode, this is rare.

birth comes at the beginning of the day
the sun shines, the summer's green, and all is bright
and all the world is filled with love

loss comes sometime around noon
when innocence dies
and then the world is greyed with sorrow

sunset heralds the descent of ending
it comes to clip the wings of lofty things like aspiration
and then dive tandem to a dreamless sleep

when the light is gone, as empty as a corpse's eyes
regrets bedeck the pall of night
and all the world is filled with nothing
evermore

Well i beat the shit outta Demons Souls, and i dont have anyone to play SMBWii with so i mooch other peoples multi-player madness. Aside from getting the new A Boy and His Blob theirs NOTHING to play atm. More so i want Multiplayer mayhem. It was fun as hell jumping into other peoples games in Demons Souls and either help out a noob or wreck someone elses questing XD

We need more RPG dungeon crawlers where you can be an asshole runnin around waiting to get the drop on some unsuspecting adventurers. Or multiplayer RPGs in general, gadamn was that fun. Till then i need something as good as GTA4's multiplayer.

Damn i miss doin Battlefield 2 with teh Dragon Squad. TF2 gets repetitive and lacks any real strategy :b

Been absorbed in Dungeon Fighter Online but im waiting till they release the new characters and more AV outfits.

In other words im actually getting drawing done >_>

grimal @ 01:53 am: Animation exercises pt. 3
So it turns out animating hair is trickier than it seems. It's gotta drag and follow movements. I'm not totally happy with this, but at least it's progress!



I've been adding more inbetweening here and there, adding the whiskers and color. It takes forever, though, it's no surprise they always offshore this part of the process to Korea :P

I don't have anything finished-looking yet, but soon it'll be done, maybe next weekend. Keep checking for more!

(Incidentally, I just saw Princess and the Frog again and goddamn, I still think its the bees' knees. So good. Go see it if you haven't yet!)

geddcoon @ 01:19 pm: Zorori English dub
Ok folks, it's not often that I ask you for something. But if anybody has access to CNP (Cartoon Network Philippines), listen up! Zorori has an English dub! If it is not too much trouble, might somebody be persuaded to record these episodes for posterity? You would be doing the entire furry community a great service. If it is any incentive, I will dust off my artbox and sketchbook and draw something for you. Or, if you prefer, resume working on my comic with renewed vigor.

Anyway, if this is something within your power, best get a move-on. I hear the first episode will air VERY VERY SOON::: Premieres Monday, Jan 4, 7:30pm. That's tomorrow!

Zorori's such a smart guy, he knows so many languages! ... and handsome, and funny, and adventurous... *melts* I heard this from a reliable source, somebody whose dedication to all things Zorori rivals my own. :3

Check out the promo clips:

cuteeevee @ 05:20 pm: Sunday
It's not such a good sunday, i don't know what to look forward to, but that will come with some time to actually think about it. There will be things to look forward to.
Played some WoW so far today, and had to say "won't work today" a bit too often, to Babsi (she asked for a dungeon were i've just been 5 times and went offline when we were done), to another friend (he wanted to play Deathknight with me but i don't want to play him right now, neither delete it and start over again).
Also i couldn't even fix Babsi's Xbox-HD-cable Problem on the phone, wich is annoying since that souldn't be a problem at all, you just plug the stupid 5 plugs in, set the cableswitch to 'HD' and chosse the right channel on the TV, but it doesnt work that way for her. Grrrrr..... grr i say.

Anyway, not i enjoy the TopGear South America Special and really hope it will be as funny as all the others, the chances are pretty good. :)

Ugh, so sick... i shouldn't be here (at work) i just want to sleep and not spread the plague to people.
Despite being ceramic tiles, the floor in the backroom feels SO good udner my back. But people keep interrupting my downtime, ugh. I think i'm developing a conditioned animosity toward the beeper that goes off when someone comes in the store. Soon you'll be able to ring a bell and i'll foam at the mouth!

There's so little work to do here tonight, i could get aso much art done, but man, when you feel shitty it's not easy doing stuff. I wonder what my temperature is.
I have to fnish the last colourjob for the vore set by january 4th. I hope i feel better when i get up today, because i have to hustle! Not getting much done on it now, that's for sure.

artfulreggie @ 04:27 pm: My teens!
I know I joke around a lot, but for the record, I'm 24; and for me, this past decade has been the most productive and transforming decade yet. Possibly -the- most influential decade of my life.

It was during this time that I outgrew my teen/closet angst just in time for high school and for the unraveling of all this fuzzy business. I'd like to say there was a sincere and innocent discovery, but I was your run of the mill hormonally imbalanced teenager when I awkwardly sauntered into the scene. Mercifully, I ran into some very patient souls who stuck with me just long enough for my intentions to galvanize into something nobler.

I was able to Get My Shit Together on the school front and after what seemed like a mistake letting my band nerd crew fall to the wayside, I hiked my way through the miniature minefield that is high school. It was there that I discovered that I wasn't half bad at this programming business and seemed to have an apt mind for science. I was also able to dabble in photography and linear video editing long enough to organize, raise funding, and complete a large (and relatively profitable) project for our publications department in which I produced the first DVD yearbook in the city of El Paso.

This little feat got the attention of the powers that be and, in addition to a pretty decent academic record and laundry list of extracurricular activities, earned me a series of scholarships to pay for an otherwise uncertain college tenure. I believe the goal of these scholarships was to enable me to pursue graduate school, but I used the time for self-discovery. It was during this time that I galvanized my passion, partook of some interesting internships, and met pouch and a whole slew of fuzzball friends. I also used my free time to travel and get a feel for where I would eventually want to forge my career.

The last two years of this decade seemed to go by in a blur of activity. I got a job in Austin, saved some money, and did my best to help Joey reach his own dreams and aspirations. (Probably my best achievement yet.) I was laid off, went through some heavy depression for the better half of a year, and eventually survived with a little (actually, a lot) of help from our friends.

I can't complain too much. I was very, very, very fortunate enough to be raised by a loving and nurturing family these past 10 years such that I can no find and forge a new loving and nurturing family out west. There was much death, loss, and turbulence (particularly toward the end of the decade), but that's life. If there's anything that this short roller coaster ride has taught me, it's to hunker down with your loved ones, focus on all of the good, and never lose hope and optimism. Can't always get what you want and all that rot.

noodlesandbeef @ 12:30 am: Photo Challenge Requests
I sure do this pose a lot:



In fact, I do it so much, that my friends all poked fun at the Triad's New Year's Party:



Inspired by everyone's take on my pose, I've decided to mix things up. Here are some photos I'm going to recreate during 2010:


And anything by LaChapelle

Comment with a photo you'd like to see me do.

geddcoon @ 09:41 pm: Year in review
2009 was a bad year, with too many negatives to mention. There's a lot of bitching about this year, and I'm not saying "my 2009 was worse than your 2009", but in my limited experience, 2009 was the worst year of my life. I hope 2010 is better but I don't expect it. To a large extent, things that have made 2009 so shitty are still ongoing. I see some pitfalls for the upcoming year that could cause things to deteriorate further. When things look bleak one tends to close his eyes, and in that vein, I'm not really looking forward to 2010. Take me back to 2000, please. :-(
