A Cat on One Knee, A lappy on the other.

Flidget and I have concoted a funny little DJ script with Viktor Flik and a lot of gratuitous mellons. I may try to draw it later, even though I've all but given up on being able to draw viktors. The question is will I post it? or horde it for a 3 page short insert to some larger DJ that I promise myself I'll someday work on. If it's a VS DJ it would certainly be a hodgepoge at this rate, the temptation to do a lil' Isaac story would be high, and then something traditional for the universe at large... and then a decadent self-insertion omake for old time's sake... That reminds me, I have the first, and only 5 pages of Monkeymeat inked and good to go... I'll scan it later.

There was something else... oh yeah. People *cough*cough* Tsaiko-can *cough* are calling me lazy for not doing my own links rather than relying on hers... What she doesn't realize is that I am a massive Twig tool. Like the tail that waggs the dog.... wait, that sounds bad in so many ways. In other news, I've decided that should I ever become a caped crusader, my name shall be **CAPTAIN OBVIOUS** Fi-chan has asked to be the Evil Dr. Chibi. We'd call Twig "Stealth D..." but well.... I didn't want her to kick me. XD

The Unsinkable Molly Brown merits two thumbs down. I didn't like it, and they down played the Titanic bit to about a half a minute... And the singing is good, but the songs! Oh my. They... are not very musical. Narf.

Spectacular Spectacular!

First of all, I may laugh off quizes, but I LOVE Milktea.

I'm natural bubble tea!
Click here to take the test!

Second of all, it amazes me that your average geeky engineering type guy has a hard time contimplating 15 minutes on the phone with his significant other, and yet is willing to call tech support and TALK MY EAR OFF for 107 minutes straight. Dude, and I bet he was calling Long Distance too... we don't give out a 1800 number to the 'average' customer. Hell, if I had been a cabby his bill would have cost him enough to keep me in milktea for a year. 7 cents a minute times 107.... and add an extra 10 for the time it took for him to get through the switchboards down stairs... and then on my side, they guess the average sale call runs 15 minutes and costs the company.... um... 70$... again, you do the math. And after this morning's hijinxs with people putting variables on the wrong side of the equal's sign...? Yeah. It's going to be one of those weeks.

Someone out there is laughing

And when I find them, I'm going to hit them.

So I had a moment of zen when I was out running errands today. It was a simple moment... one of clarity. I realized my hair looked crappy and I was overdue for a trim. Luckily I knew just what to do! I whipped out the handy-dandy buisness card of my hairdresser (yes the elton john clone who amused me so much the last time) and decided today would be the day when I get an honest to goodness style! Hurray.

I call to schedule an appointment... and lo and behold... They've relocated him.

The stupid gits at the salon chain he works for, have punted my precious trustworthy Ron to a store near the friggin' airport! I am not driving 30 minutes to get may hair done. No Not going to happen. No matter how much I like Ron... 20 minutes and I'd have considered it... I'm now stumped. I do want to get my hair cut. But it is seldom wise to walk in and shake a person's hand for the first time, and ask them to drastically alter the way I look and expect results that I will he happy with in an hour. No, that's a bad idea. Maybe I'll just wander around the local hair places and look for another elton john clone and get a stop-gap trim... but now I'm all depressed. Maybe I'll drive 30 minutes and get Ron to do my hair afterall...

This is the lamest post yet. :P

If I had Hex Vision, the world would be a better place

You know how I rant about my apartment... and how it has issues? And how I'm glad to be moving? Here, it's easier to repost the spleen I just disgorged to flidget than explain things eloquently. I'm too tired for that anyway.

eramundo (8:02:12 PM): I have just experienced the second grosest thing in my life
eramundo (8:02:16 PM): brb, I need to shower
Flidget (8:02:59 PM): er. . ok
eramundo (8:14:38 PM): I can't WAIT to get out of this shitty apartment
eramundo (8:14:42 PM): GRRRRRR
eramundo (8:14:51 PM): this is a rant worthy evening
eramundo (8:15:05 PM): ANGRY!Lunar
Flidget (8:16:04 PM): gimmie!
Flidget (8:16:08 PM): gross me out
Flidget (8:16:14 PM): give me nightmares before I sleep!
eramundo (8:16:45 PM): first off
eramundo (8:16:47 PM): I hate ants
eramundo (8:16:55 PM): they're all well and good as a science project
eramundo (8:17:06 PM): or outdoors building little hills and being productive
eramundo (8:17:12 PM): but in the house... they're a no no
eramundo (8:17:18 PM): they make me all :P
eramundo (8:17:38 PM): so one of the perils of being in a groundfloor apartment, is ofcourse easy access for buggies.
eramundo (8:17:44 PM): It's one of the reasons I'm moving out
eramundo (8:17:48 PM): but lately
eramundo (8:17:51 PM): say starting mondayt
eramundo (8:17:56 PM): I've noticed a stray ant here and there
eramundo (8:18:04 PM): especially in the livingroom
eramundo (8:18:14 PM): (as far from food as humanly possible, go fig)
eramundo (8:18:36 PM): and I figure, kitty-chan has been tracking them in from the patio and they are an isolated incident.
eramundo (8:18:38 PM): but then
eramundo (8:18:44 PM): the numbers keep increasing
eramundo (8:18:51 PM): and I start to go hmmm....
eramundo (8:18:54 PM): so this evening
eramundo (8:18:56 PM): I get home
eramundo (8:19:12 PM): and first off, I notice my kitchen sink water is starting to smell again, and I hate that
eramundo (8:19:15 PM): and then I notice
Flidget (8:19:33 PM): ....
eramundo (8:19:37 PM): as I sit in my favorite club
chair... that there are more ants than usual plodding along the window ledge, and I get fed up
eramundo (8:19:52 PM): so I finally decide to take a peek and see if I can find a crack in the window molding or something
eramundo (8:19:56 PM): where they might be comming in
eramundo (8:20:03 PM): lo and behold... it's not the window
eramundo (8:20:11 PM): IT IS THE ELECTRICAL SOCKET
eramundo (8:20:23 PM): they have been marching in, two by two along my electrical cables!!
eramundo (8:20:51 PM): there was a swarm of close to 100 of them just doodling around the outlet!!!
eramundo (8:20:53 PM): so
eramundo (8:21:05 PM): I promptly switched to ACTION!Lunar mode
eramundo (8:21:19 PM): and broke out my commercial sized can of bug spray
eramundo (8:21:31 PM): and I've probably obliterated my karma points for the year
eramundo (8:21:34 PM): BUT IT GETS BETTER
eramundo (8:21:36 PM): because
eramundo (8:21:40 PM): from that electrical socket
Flidget (8:21:44 PM): Oro
eramundo (8:21:48 PM): is the cable to my laptop
eramundo (8:22:14 PM): and the laptop power cable is twisted with my ethenet cable
eramundo (8:22:35 PM): so while they THANKFULLY avoided infesting Zack-the-Vaio this afternoon
Flidget (8:22:44 PM): HOLY SHIT
eramundo (8:23:03 PM): they apparently discovered the JOY of using my ethernet cable as a super-highway across the carpet and INTO THE KITCHEN
eramundo (8:23:18 PM): there were dozens of the little buggers! just parading around the kitchen floor
eramundo (8:23:23 PM): (thankfully spotles)
eramundo (8:23:30 PM): looking for ways up onto the counter top!
eramundo (8:23:34 PM): needless to say
eramundo (8:23:42 PM): genocide part 2 ensued.
eramundo (8:23:57 PM): luckily they didn't follow the cable all the way into my bedroom
Flidget (8:23:59 PM): is today icky bug day?
eramundo (8:24:03 PM): or I would have seriously flipped out
Flidget (8:24:05 PM): Twig had an encounter with roaches earlier
eramundo (8:24:07 PM): So I threw
eramundo (8:24:10 PM): the cat onto the patio
eramundo (8:24:13 PM): AND IT GETS BETTER
eramundo (8:24:35 PM): and after 20 mintues of furious zapping, vaccuming and wiping
eramundo (8:24:45 PM): my evil!scourge is dealt with
eramundo (8:24:53 PM): and the cat will have to stay out side for a while
eramundo (8:25:01 PM): because of the carpet being covered in bug spray
eramundo (8:25:06 PM): I'll give it an hour or so
eramundo (8:25:16 PM): and probably keep her in the garage over night
eramundo (8:25:31 PM): so she doesn't keel over again but that is another story
eramundo (8:25:36 PM): what REALLY pisses me off
eramundo (8:25:41 PM): is that I go to take a shower
eramundo (8:25:47 PM): and one of my EVIL NEIGHBORS
eramundo (8:25:49 PM): has a dog
eramundo (8:25:53 PM): without a leash
eramundo (8:25:56 PM): who OF COURSE
eramundo (8:26:01 PM): starts tormenting my cat!!
eramundo (8:26:16 PM): luckly he couldn't fit through the fence, but he was barking up a storm
eramundo (8:26:19 PM): and THE PISSANT
eramundo (8:26:25 PM): wouldn't come and take him away!
eramundo (8:26:54 PM): so I holler "the rules say you have to have all dogs on leashes in this complex!"
eramundo (8:27:09 PM): and the piece of inexcusable excremental goat spit
eramundo (8:27:13 PM): has the audacity to say
eramundo (8:27:24 PM): "uhhh, I don't have a leash..."
eramundo (8:27:27 PM): PRICK!
eramundo (8:27:38 PM): so the dog continues to yapp its asinine head off
eramundo (8:27:49 PM): and I start throwing pieces of dead potting soil at it
eramundo (8:27:59 PM): and it thinks the whole scenario is a lark
eramundo (8:28:01 PM): because it is a dog
Flidget (8:28:02 PM): holy shit
Flidget (8:28:05 PM): of course
eramundo (8:28:12 PM): and dogs are about as smart as book binding paste
eramundo (8:28:19 PM): and FINALLY the Twit
eramundo (8:28:23 PM): and may I just say
eramundo (8:28:33 PM): he was a fine example of White-trash fashion
eramundo (8:28:40 PM): comes to collect his moron dog
eramundo (8:28:43 PM): and wanders off
eramundo (8:28:54 PM): ONLY TO PUT HIM DOWN 50 FEET LATER!
eramundo (8:29:12 PM): so GUESS what the stupid little mop-brush wanna be immediately does?!
eramundo (8:29:16 PM): IT COMES BACK
Flidget (8:29:18 PM): tourment the cat?
eramundo (8:29:19 PM): NO FUCK!
eramundo (8:29:34 PM): this time I am determined to get the name of the fuzzy offender
eramundo (8:29:45 PM): because I'm damn well going to report him and his skank owner
eramundo (8:29:55 PM): but of course it has NO COLLAR either!
eramundo (8:30:06 PM): and trash-boy EVENTUALLY moseys back over
eramundo (8:30:12 PM): and collects his dog and takes him away
eramundo (8:30:21 PM): with another lame "...uhhh, sorry"
eramundo (8:30:38 PM): and I'm like THIS close to throwing pots at the pair of them
Flidget (8:30:47 PM): you should have thrown dirt
eramundo (8:30:47 PM): all of this
Flidget (8:30:49 PM): he'd have liked it
eramundo (8:30:52 PM): in 30 minutes!
eramundo (8:31:03 PM): and I'm still dripping!
eramundo (8:31:23 PM): I got out of the shower and just pulled on pants and a shirt to see what all the ruckus was about
eramundo (8:31:36 PM): :P
eramundo (8:31:40 PM): I hate the universe
eramundo (8:31:44 PM): I hate this apartment
eramundo (8:32:02 PM): I hate how all of these things are resolved by me MOVING OUT but I still have 2 months to go
Flidget (8:32:37 PM): oo, there you are
eramundo (8:32:42 PM): giggle
eramundo (8:32:43 PM): I'm done
eramundo (8:32:47 PM): *falls over*
Flidget (8:32:52 PM): AIM decided to be a bitch
Flidget (8:32:53 PM): *Hug*
Flidget (8:32:55 PM): go sleep
Flidget (8:32:56 PM): I'm going to
eramundo (8:33:01 PM): hey, at least the bugspray doubles as room deodorizer
eramundo (8:33:08 PM): yeah well it's like 4am for you
Flidget (8:33:22 PM): 2
eramundo (8:33:27 PM): close enough

So yes. Twig, sorry to hear about the cocroach issue, but here's MY two cents for the evening. :P

Ah well I'm all for promotion of all cartoons everywhere *thumbs up* good job! As far as the Integra-sama plushies, I don't think it'll be a problem, Twig and I can come up with a workable template... the hardest part will be the massive mop of hair...We may have to get some honest to god doll supplies. But hey, I have a gluegun, so we;re good to go XD. DAH... putting real hair on a doll is alot of work. I prefer felt. That reminds me. I have to send twig her box so I can scan chibi#2 and post him.

I'm feeling sick and run down today :P but this hasn't stopped me from throwing together another.... Grand Conjunction member! Presenting Spooky!

She's bad, and she's proud of it... hmm I think I forgot to darken her hair enough... ah well, instead of 'red tips' it's just wine colored now... ^_^ red!flippy? It could be worse...

Spoiler Alert

In random coffee-break browsing I found screenshots of the final nifty scripty puzzle of the game! SO I can show off how pretty they are. However if you plan on playing Myst3, and don't want THE SOLUTION to the puzzle, it would be sensible to not click the following links.

die die die.

Twig's right, I look like a pimp-dragoon. Ah well there are worse things. *snicker* I colored in a bit more of FG Jenny's gift-pic on saturday, but otherwise it wasn't a terribly productive weekend. Never did quite find out where the art festival was... maybe I was mistaking it for the gardening festival down by the lake... I'd have gone to that, but (a) I was tired and (b) it would have only instigated me buying ANOTHER plant. I have a 1-plant-per-month addiction, I try not to exceed it. There are already more of the damn things than I can reliably water.

Dooooomed.

Did some volunteer foo this saturday. It was dull yet productive. One of those things I do to make up for all the evil-plotting I do during the rest of the month. The only kicker was that it dealt with children. Lunar doesn't deal well with children, even the feisty-proto-engineering-girls. They scare me.

Spent most of Sunday finishing Myst3. My final conclusion is I think I liked Riven best. The puzzels were a damn sight harder, we're talking daylong stumpers. Of course, if you don't like screaming and clicking your self in circles for days, then maybe myst3 is the better option. The worlds are pretty, very pretty, and are nicely compact. You actually get to interact with a whopping 3 human beings (I'm not counting the baby because all she did was coo) and the soundscapes are really cool.

Best part of the game? The final puzzle/movie sequence.
Worst part of the game? The ending. Myst games always struck me as alittle weak in the ending department, with Riven having the most interesting one. But this one in particular was alittle.... eeeh. Unlike the predicessors it didn't do as good a job of foreshadowing a 'next' game, and if it was a grand finale it was of the "Oh, wait, we're done. Move along, nothing to see here..." type. One of these days, Altrus will have to learn his lesson, I'm just not sure what that lesson is.

So the last puzzle involved some curly language puzzles. They were pretty, I'm going to use them someday for something... a layout or something. Or maybe I'll just make a little page to honor them by.

In other news, I forgot to bring a sweater to work, it was 75 this morning and I was too tired to think straight. As a result I am FREEZING, and will probably have to go home for lunch in order to keep my hands from falling off. Work is dumb. Why is it always so cold in here...

It occurrs to me...

So I finally finished another one... this time I present Conjunction-member.... well. Lunar! I'm a dragoon... spear, swank coat... funny hat... yeah. Whatever, it works...

And it occurrs to me, that now that Thorne-chan is a member... she too should get a doodle. So that makes 4 pics I need to finish, archer-wind, mage-spooks... that omake for FG-Jenny... and ne, thorne... what classic D&D/RPG character would you play, if you had to be part of a heroic team to save a hypothetical world that will likely get blown up anyway ala ff6? lemmie see... ideas could include... Red mage, summoner, thief, setzer-style gambling king, knight, geomancer... ninja... "welcome to my village" peasant#2... scary sumon-type-creature... or anything else you can think of... ^_^

Lunar looks at her archer-wind sketch and is amused by it's likeness to meiko-chan from Marmalade boy

I Found It.

Roughly, oh... a year ago... I started my love affair with VS, all things VS and blah blah blah. And As a result I became quite an adept prowler of the websites of Two Amusing ladies known as GlassShard and Mooncalf. For reasons I cannot entirely decipher, Mooncalf has made her happy way onto Twig's blogg list, and thus into my daily diet of gossip and mayhem. And 'lo by an additional degree of seperation, so has GlassShard. You should read her stuff, and look at her art, she is a small god.

Which brings me back to the reason why I am mentioning this. Anyone remember how I was ranting (roughly last year) about 'the pants' picture? This ellusive mythical image on the net where the cast of VS was stuck in copies of Sydney's pants and what their reactions would be? No? >_< Nevermind. All that is important, is that it is HERE Haha! There! I can now prove I wasn't just making the whole thing up. The rest of her site is pretty cool too... I should write them both and ask if they mind me linking to them... worst they could do is the classic "ewwe what is THAT" and kick me in the face, hard, with an orc.

In other news... I had a really vivid dream about Sydney and undead corpses/litches/fiends in a non-leamonde setting. It was a strange mix of "the mummy" and some sort of almost bibical scenario and that short comic story "Embrace" featuring my favorite character John Constantine. They were begging him to set them free so they could finally die and even though they were all really really bad looking(I mean nightmare bad looking) Syd went ahead and touched their head or hand or held them and they would dissolve happily. It was disturbing, and nifty, and I think I'll add it to a fic somehow. Someday.

I wish I had Blood Omen 2, I wish I had Soul Reaver 2, I wish I had a PS2... and I wish that Myst3 would stop killing my mouse. It's really pissing me off.

Apparently Panamanians don't believe in daylight savings time.

Ne twig, you're a trend setter! See I told you, the more people you link to on your blogg, the more the rest of the net picks up on it. Someday 'Spent Casings' will have a link to thorne.... and we'll all know why. Woot.

Ne ne, Lilack... I know how annoying being sick can be at school....

Spring Cleaning, Lunar-style!

The purpose of this post is manifold. First, I get to use the word 'manifold' in a sentence, yeay me. Second, I get to swear at Broderbund software for not releasing a patch so that MYST would play on WinXP boxes (Damn you Broderbund, damn you to hell). Third, I would like to say that thunderstorms are nifty. And fourth, and most important, is that I am announcing a grand-reopening of RoodAwakenings and so am celebrating with a stupid little contest.... It is called... Find the broken link. And will be made available only to those delictable indivuals who read my oh so trite blogg.

So it works like this. I have a new site. It is substantially larger and more complecated (but hopefully easier to browse) than the old site. I have done my level best to catch all of the absturdly bad glitches, and I can pretty much assure for myself that there are no seriously broken links that I don't know about. But in my sleep-deprived state, that doesn't mean that mistakes can't happen. If in cruising around my site in the next 3-4 weeks, you stumble across something dumb/wrong/not there... Email me about it! At the end of the month, who ever has found the most glitches will get some fanart of their choosing ^_^. It'll likely be a first-come-first-found affair since I'll be fixing the boo-boos as they are reported. But if I get multiple emails on the same glitch before I can fix it, I'll give the points to both parties. Woot! Who can say no to free points. I'll also try to announce who has found what here in the blogg.

As a Starter: I know about the broken Image link on the Misc Art page, and that the "One Ship Armada" link isn't active.

On that note, does anyone have some software that can unzip a .gz file?

Win XP Professional can suck my wong. And so can the whiney customers.

Much like my lady Flidget, I can acknowlege that this has not been a good week, hence Lunar has had a silent week. No energy left for ranting. On Monday I was a little annoyed, on Tuesday I was seriously Irate, Wednesday left me raging, Thursday exhausted the last dregs of even that energy, and now Friday has dawned, and really? Aside from having the depressing expectation of needing to put in some hours on Saturday, things can't get much worse, and I've stopped caring. I just want the week to end.

Congratulations to Ann on her employment, and then employment you are indeed elite. I'm crossing my fingers for something near a big city for you.

Congratulations to Spooky on your new blogg, and I agree completely, a black box, is still a box no matter how 'innovative' the idea of boxes may be to people who spend the better part of their lives sniffing glue and bathing in grant money. We should spend a serious 30 minutes some time this weekend and seriously ponder if you want a short story to color or not. ^_^ Thanks for the help on the website, you are my sharp design eye.

Twig, I'll get you candy soon. I promise. Or maybe I'll just finish CH1 of OSA. And for some reason, I cruised by thorne's blogg, because god help me, every time you add a blogg link, I start to read it, and she has guilted me again into working on my kuja fic, but I don't quite know how. Peculiar.

Wind, I'm still working on the archer. Life-sucking-work sorta cuts into doodling time. I also promised FG-Jenny some doodles of sydney which won't get considered too, I suck.

Lilack! I love the new layout. Sure Ryuu is a big dork, but Takt (before he snapped) was sorta interesting and having sat through 90% of the show (or possibly all of it) by midnight tonight... I have to say I rather like it. Now if only you had some images for a Hattie layout or a Frank. I adore Hattie's dog. Mmmmm large shaggy black dog.... I would be seriously tempted to try a layout... someday. ^_^;

I'm tired...

Flidget, when the world starts to go to hell, it'll be you and me... I'll pedal the bicycle, you ride on the handle bars and man the tommy guns. *Kakk-kakk-kakk-kakk-kakk-kakk!* and maybe even a BOOM!

Almoooooooooost Friday ^_^

Anime club! I can't wait.... except... I'll have to, because I'm working until 7pm... Ne B-kun, it's my turn to drive... so you can ride with me, and miss... whatever the starter show is... or go ahead of me and I'll meet you there :P

Today was my last day of art class. I drew a pretty that will likely become a mother's day gift for the maternal unit. I'll post it on my webspace at somepoint, because for a nude drawing, I'm pretty proud of it. I also colored another Conjunction Member: Mistress Ann, she's alittle cute... and fuzzy... and I am sooooo dead. XD
Though she be tiny, she be fierce.

Oi, ladies, check me if I'm wrong... but Spooks was the black mage, and wind-chan was the summoner? or was it the princess... I can't remember. Sorry Ann, you're still the Mog. ^_^ although in hindsight, you'd be a smashing archer.If you weren't such a cute mog I might redo it. giggle. When I do everyone as superheros, I'll let you choose first to make up for it.

what is she doing now?

Why did I just watch Wuthering Heights twice in a row? I have no idea. I think I must be a Wuthering Heights expert by now, having read the damn book twice in HS and now having officially seen every version of the damn movie existing to date. And it's not that I'm even trying. Really, I wasn't even that fond of the book... my final conclusions? Ray Finnes is a pretty man, but for homocidal swarthy lunatics, I'll take Robert Cavannah as my favorite. And really when you think about it. Catherine is the true villian of the story. Her poor judgement caused a cascade of misery that lasted 2 generations. Selfish thing. But enough of that. In my evening or torpor, I have started cleaning up my backlog of art. and so I can present the first in a series. I give you, the 'muscle' of the Great Conjunction... Twig.

I think it's pretty spiffing myself. The rest of the gang will be along shortly.

this is the sound of one hand clapping.

I'm... all out this week. Of everything, of mojo too. Lots of things to do, but no energy to do them with. Spring cleaning is high on the list. Hmmmm kitty-chan needs a bath...And while I'm at it, I can start packing up things I don't care about, I prefer the strategy of 'moving by attrition'. Instead of cramming everything into boxes on the night before, you just never... unpack. Sah, but I should also sit down and pay city taxes, to the state I have not lived in for months and months. Even sadder really when you consider my income for that state is taxable in the 5-10$ range.

It took 3 tries, and 2 software patches, but I managed to get my compie to load the Farscape DVD. Twig's right, GoLive is a memory sucking, process skewing disk corrupting ho. Pity that it is so useful... But I have a new 'look' for my website, and I may even find the time/energy to work on it too. We will see. For the moment I'm happily oggling John Cryton and going "giggle" alot.

Why Grandma... what big teeth you have...

Saw Jin-Roh at anime tonight. It made me think. It made me sad. It was good. Better than any anime movie I've seen in a decent amount of time. If I have a military fetish for the next few days, you'll know why.

It is hard to type this since my cat is headbutting me repeatedly as I type to remind me that it is past 11pm and she hasn't been fed her dinner yet. I'll go feed her before she starts grooming my head I think. But in this perfectly dark room, her eyes glow yellow in reflected monitor glow. It reminds me of the infra-red goggles in Jin-Roh and thus I am suitably weirded out. ^_^; Deep thoughts by Lunar.

"where's my tin-foil? I feel some alien brain-rays coming on..."

This link scares me. As well it should. It is both alarmingly accurate and then inaccurate. Twig, give it a whirl and get a chuckle, the rest of you I don't know as well. But I like how Leareth did Cuthulu. Yup, still reading back blogg entries. Twig, I'd like Spent Casings alot more if it didn't make me feel all weak and useless with my life. I too could be doing interesting, mature, politically active rants on my blogg. I just prefer telling witty anecdotes about by cat. :P

"Worried at a sudden rise in mortality among your peers? Living in fear of the unknown every time your phone rings? Protect yourself and your loved ones from unwanted phone realated injury by getting yourself a "Death-Screener"(TM) This little box, attached easily via phone cable to any jack in your house, will automatically scan your incomming calls and provide you safe, effective death-free calling. See the latest model for additional caller ID and answering services! Death-Screener! Can you live without it?"

I've decided something. Occasionally blogg surfing can be good. As an addendum, I want to be Mooncalf when I grow up. Mmmmm I love that rant. That is a rant worthy of Baka, were he a disatisfied fanfiction writer. Thank god he isn't. I'm bad enough without him. Ah well, I'll have to admit, I still have to agree with Twig though. Even with the bad writing on some fics. Everybody deserves the right to a chance to suck/not suck. I simply ask to reserve the right to not read things that will cause my bloodpressure to rise. ^_^

"Would you rather die than recieve one more telemarketer phonecall? Get Them before they get you! Presenting 'Dial-a-Death'! A quick, clean, easy way to 'take care' of all your long-distance relations. It's the ultimate in annoying phonecall relief."

M.... dial-a-death.... it's like dialing M for murder... or was that Monkey... hard to say. It doesn't matter, THIS is what matters. I want it. I want it bad. And the Mervyn as a special agent comic book. And the short story about Thessaly the witch and what she's been doing all her life. I wish I had money, then I could get back into collecting all my sandman fun mmmm fun.

"Aberzombie & Litch: Fashionable leather goods to die for."

Momma always said I should have been in advertising. And grandpa wanted me to be a surgeon, and dad voted for ballerina... and my sister didn't care what I did, just so long as I did it worse than her... But that's a story for another time. I've been playing VS again. ALOT. This is good, because FFTactics seems bent on destroying my soul. This is bad, because I've inventing a new term "Title scumming" it's where you run around doing bizarre, tedious, senseless things in order to get every title VS has to offer. I'm not sure if my patience will last. I've already achieved "Grand Master Gladiator" which is frankly, as high as VS goes and still keeps track of your score I think (roughly 20,000,000 points). Now, ask me why the total score can climb as high as 999,999,999 when there are no titles above 20,000,000? I have no idea. So anyway. Some of the titles are easy enough to scum for, but others? Chaining 30 times in a row? hmmm b-kun has nimble eyes+fingers.... maybe I'll get him to sit there and do it. I can't beat 18 no matter how hard I try. And then there is "kill 5000 times with each weapon" by my calculation, that'll take me another 8 play throughs at my current rate of progress. 8 LONG play throughs. A daunting task. And what about killing 5000 of every race. That's just excessive. I mean really, even if I revisit every part of the city twice, there just aren't that many crimson blades to choose from. Poor Ashley. So I don't know. Getting all titles but 3 isn't so bad... right? *twitch*

In other news in my VS induced torpor last night I was apparently weak minded enough to fall for my cat's jedi-mind powers. For some odd reason, I decided to make myself scrambled eggs. But I didn't want scrambled eggs. So I stared at them, forlornly in the pan, and gave up and gave them to Kitty-chan. She eats eggs... it would have been a shame to throw them out, right...? :P So she got a small bowl of scrambled eggs. It was only after I put it down, that I realized the absurdity of me cooking for my whiny cat as if she were a 3 year old. An all time low, I think. I'm blaming her jedi powers. She obviously intended for me to get her eggs all along. How manipulative of her. This is why I need another human in the house with me. It'll keep me from becoming a complete slave to my bratty cat.

after all, if I'm going to mindlessly cook in the kitchen, it might as well be for someone who can express gratitude in other ways than pawing my face while I try and sleep.

As an interesting adendum to this odd tale of manipulation and abuse. Kittychan saw me eating cold pizza and decided her eggs weren't 'all that' and still came begging. And I was tired enough last night that I forgot to throw away the crust, and instead left it on the coffee table. So I woke up this morning to find her gnawing on the stale end of bread like it was a dogbone or something. Greedy little thing. I let her have it, the gnawing will be good for her teeth... and stale bread is heathier than a chicken bone, or something.

I am such a loser this week. :P

Checking off another item on the things-to-do list...

In her recent theme of procrastination-at-any-cost...Lunar is proud to announce... the grand reopening of her homepage! Go on, cruise on over. For people used to cruising by RoodAwakenings don't expect anything too amazing from this new page, mostly it's just old photos and fun. But hey, if you want a face to match a name, or you want to see who the hell I'm talking about when I wax nostalgic about Senor Baka... now you can see. Besides, my Hawaii foo needed a proper home. ^_^.

I've decided my next RoodAwakenings theme needs to have something to do with star charts or possibly old nautical charts. I love them both so. Before I give up and go to the UTexas library to make photocopies, does anyone have any good links on the web? I'd even accept a 'pay for view' sight, provided that the cost isn't stupidly high. Hmmm maybe also a nice clean but largish image of the Rood... or some other suitably gothic cross/gargoyle/sword... this will require investigation.

I'm watching the Austin Live Music Station, and it had disturbed me deeply... they also have the coolest hand-lettered fonts. The group in question is called "The Trail of the Dead." which is apparently a punk band that started out playing in drag-queen bars. Surreal.

This is what I get for staying up after 12. I'm going to bed before things get even weirder.

The Oath...

I swore that once I got photoshop up and running, I would redo my blogg... since in a month it would have hit the one year mark. I think that officially makes my blogg look the slowest design-oscillation of any blogg I know. Ah well I can't even say I changed that much... threw this together by hand because as cool as GoLive is. I think I need to read the instruction manual first. (doht) Just hammering buttons like a monkey just wasn't getting me where I wanted to be.

So... behold the turtle. Lunar has finally given herself a make-over... and it's 3am. And so I sleep.

so much for working on... anything... tonight.
