Four Down, Lots to Go

Got four webpages and corresponding word rtfs organized (graphics renamed and moved to sub-folders instead of sitting on the same path as the pages) and updated. When I made a copy of the Spring 2002 site and renamed it for some reason some of the graphics decided to vacate the webpages. Doesn't make sense but it actually making it work better. When I click on the broken image it takes me to the list of files and I am able to rename the image and move it to the new sub-folders, then select the image from the new spot and everything is back to normal. The rtfs are another matter. I am getting broken images with the images still visible on the 'paper'. Weird. Had to do a new screenshot too. Who would have guessed ps7.0 would have another anti-alias choice? The only way I caught it is keeping the HELP menu open and checking the new information against the stuff I stuck in my handouts. Sure, I stole it, and I give them full credit for it too. Getting students to use the HELP menu of any program is hard enough, getting them to READ anything at all is another tooth to pull.

As a reward I got off the computer and sat/lounged in front of the TV and watched some CN. He-man is new and I kinda like the colours and lines they are using. Napped through the Transformers show, then perked up for the new Inuyasha show. Liked it so far.

Beta, Beta, Who's Got the Beta?

Finished up the next section of "First Heat" and sent it back for perusal. It is REALLY shaping up nicely! Hee, noticed Talon has been quoting my blog on her blog.

Stupid Hip

The fucking pain in my hip will not go away. Rat suggested using one of those mind-bending pain-killers but I told him it will kill the pain but not take it away. I may have to take it if it gets too irritating. I wonder if I am getting Arthritis. He says the doctor will be able to tell with a blood test, but he thinks it is probably something like he has. He has sore and swollen fingers and toes sometimes and it is NOT Arthritis. Perhaps I need to hunt down my old anti-inflamatories from my carpal tunnel syndrome and my costochondritus (inflamed cartilage all along my ribcage which comes back periodically) and see if that helps any.
I keep saying it because it is true, I have a 25-year-old brain living in an 85-year-old body.

Stupider Hormones

So all the sleeping today was not just a hint of what's to come tomorrow, it hit this afternoon. Hn, that pain killer is looking better and better because in less than 24 hours I should be in agony. I am already getting kicked lightly in the gut. Eventually it will feel like an alien is living in there, ripping me to shreds. I cannot WAIT for menopause and after!

Well, it is early (for me) but I think bed is the best answer. For my bedtime reading I am going to look at my Manga Resource for some more poses for consideration.

...................................................................................................................
The Week had to end in Hell too, you know....

Every time I remembered I needed to pick up my paycheck I was in the middle of something I could not leave. By the time I found a breather I would have forgotten. So at 4:59pm, when I was on the phone with the rat and he asked me if I had been paid I yelped and ran to the accounting office. It was closed and would not open again until Tuesday.

So I made the five-minute trek to the parking lot, got in the car, turned the key and nothing happened. Not even a click. Out in the middle of a blistering hot parking lot I have a dead car.

So I hoof it back to the building, get on the phone and luckily rat hasn't left yet. I tell him the symptoms and he thinks it's a dead battery. One of the bosses is still there and he says to call the campus police and I can a jump from them. Rat says he will meet me at Sears.

I call the police and the dispatcher (someone I know) says she will let them know but it may take a bit of time. So I slowly make it back to lot, first stopping at the john because I have needed to go for the last hour but did not make it because of all the running about. After waiting a half an hour in the lot (doors open, windows down so the little breeze will move through) I look for the emergency call box at the lot, walk over to it and call again. The dispatcher says help is less than 10 minutes away. So I walk back to the car.

About five minutes later the campus police car drives up. He gets out and the first thing he asks is "When did you first call this in?" I told him about 5:15-5:20pm. He frowned and said he had been sitting on the other side of the campus just waiting around. Then he went back into the office and was told about me. He said the call was written down as coming in at 5:45pm but it was only 5:40pm when he got the message. He said this was not the first time this had happened and he was going to have to report the person and these incidents.

Anyway, he told me my cables were loose (how did THAT happen!) and the battery barely had any juice. So it jumped with no problem, I thanked him and drove off to Sears. It had taken almost an hour to get a jump from the campus.

Sears is just a stones-throw away from the campus so I get there, see my ratling's car, parked next to him and went inside. He had already set up a battery for me. So we walk back out and he tells me I am supposed to drive into the garage and go into the back of the place to a battery bay. Of course, my car was dead again so rat talked about pushing the car. I just looked at him and said, "Why don't get out your cables and I can drive in?" He didn't think of that, so he gave me a jump and I drove in.

Once again, this battery was a Die-Hard and once again it died before it was supposed to, this time a year before it was supposed to go out. So I got another credit, albeit small, because I had the paperwork (always stick car paperwork in the glove compartment immediately after work is done) and upgraded the battery type to Silver. It came with an unadvertised extended warranty too.

Since other people were in line for a battery we were told it would be about an hour wait. Since "Mexican Food" was right around the corner we went and had a nice dinner, then came back. Car was ready and off we went to go home.

When we get home we find a call waiting for us so we go over to the folks' house to pick up rat's package with DOS 5. Got into a discussion with my mother's husband about teaching. I was able to get him a job teaching at the same college. Now if I can just get something for Jacque', who really needs one!

By the time I got home I was too pooped to care about much at all. We went to bed at 11pm and died.

And now, Today

Finally officially crawled out of bed at 3:20pm. Had been up a little bit to get breakfast and such. My sinus meds have stopped working so I using the alternative meds, which make me sleepy. And mother nature will be hitting this weekend, which means a double-whammy when it comes to being sleepy.

Talon will be happy to know I worked on Gohan/Sage while lying about. I almost screwed it up royally when I was making darker lines, however. Sage's contented grin got fucked so I erased it and I think it is close enough to what it was originally, although it took a lot of time to get it back to what it should be. I have removed A LOT of the shadows as prep for cg colouring. The main charas DO look different when it comes to lines and shading so hold on to those image files because that picture does not exist any more.

LOTS more pillows all around, supporting Gohan's back and balancing the space and I extended the mattress to cover the entire canvas. Figured since the angle will not let me show how thick it is I might as well make it larger. Besides, wouldn't CC have a double King-sized mattress made just for this kind of event? The window is currently gone and I am going to add it back using consistent curves as soon as I find something to use to draw the curves. (You would think I would have one of the curved rulers about, but no, I don't.) A cart inside the room along with a water dispenser is in place. Another cart is outside the door behind the figures. Vejiita has a very long tail, the tip of which is fluffed out. Rats, still forgot the ki restraints, but I am still working on it.

Now I need to sign off and get some classwork done. When I can reward myself with a break from it all I will finish the beta and get the next section of "First Heat" out. Oh, btw, I was telling the rat parts of the story while in Sears (now THAT was interesting conversation, discussing the concepts of 'heat', 'rut' and 'seme/uke' while standing around in the automotive dept!) and he raised an interesting question, what's Videl's take on all this, her feelings, her deeper reactions, her emotions? A lot of excellent work is apparent showing the male Saiya-jin side but I have to admit I would like to see the human female side, with the terrible struggles as well. Admittedly, both Videl and Bulma can intellectually understand what's going on but when emotions are involved it opens another can of worms. Rat says he would be more entertained if the emotional reactions came first and the intellectual 'turn around' came later. I think it is already in place for this story. Perhaps a story section from Videl's point of view right after seeing Gohan in the gravity room?

REALLY have to get to it now....

Yum! Story before Class!

Thanks, Talon, for sending the next section of "First Heat" to me right when I needed it! I got up super-early this morning to do the hair thing and get to work an hour before class so all my ducks were in a row. I had 20 minutes to spare so I came up to the office, logged in, and there was the story! So I got to read some lovely angst before class begins, it was great! Some excellent tidbits I have already made comments on within the document.

First Class

It went fine. The class is jam-packed. It is the first time I have had a completely full class, which means 18 students in front of computers. It is also the first time I have taught in this particular classroom.

Ekta (team-teacher) and I went back and forth giving syllabus information then she showed some portfolios from the other class she is teaching. After an hour and a half she left to get back to her five-month-old baby and I did a lot of the required paperwork to start the class. Forgot all about formal introductions around the class so I am going to have to remember it for next week.

Ramble

I am READY for the long weekend! Even though the work load is daunting I will have three days to work on it, yay! Hope to do some artwork when I take a break. It may be I just do some oekaki but I am hoping, *crosses fingers* I can get back to the Gohan/Sage pic. It sits by my computer, taunting me all the time, begging me to work on it. Also plan to upload some stuff to the website but I haven't decided just what yet. I would like to do more than just some oekaki.

Hn, maybe I need to put in the new sub-section for Firecracker inspirations and get the coconut head pic and the dangle pic out there. But that would take a bit more time because I would need to write the intro..... I will have to think about it. Depends on just how much I am able to get done this weekend with the Photoshop handouts. I really have all week to work on them but I do want to get them out of my hair asap so I can begin working the rest of the course and have everything live so I do not have to think about it anymore.

Talon, how is your koi's job coming along?

Joules, rest your hands!

Need to go do some more grading. Yes, I give them an assignment the first class! I am an evil teacher. Ha, not really! The assignment is so utterly simple only someone completely apathetic would fail it. How simple is it? Read for yourself!

Friday's Funny

a joke from the rat's brother, the writer/poet:


Cat Commandments

Thou shalt not jump onto the keyboard when thy human is using the computer.

Thou shalt not pull the phone cord out of the back of the modem.

Thou shalt not unroll all of the toilet paper off the roll.

Thou shalt not sit in front of the television or monitor as thou are not transparent.

Thou shalt not walk in on a dinner party and commence licking thy butt.

Thou shalt not lie down with thy butt in thy human's face.

Fast as thou art, thou cannot run through closed doors.

Thou shalt not leap from great heights onto thy human's lap.

Thou shalt not climb on garbage cans with hinged lids, as thou wilt fall in and trap thyself.

Thou shalt not reset thy human's alarm clock by walking on it.

Thou shalt not jump onto a seat just as thy human is sitting down.

Thou shalt realize the house is not a prison from which to escape at any opportunity.

Thou shalt not trip thy humans even if they are walking too slow.

Thou shalt not push open the bathroom door when there are guests in thy house.

Thou shalt remember thou art a carnivore and houseplants are not meat.

Thou shalt show remorse when being scolded.

Sonogram Findings

Well, looks like my body was not crying wolf after all. I DO have two small cysts on my right ovary. They think the hormones should keep them small and under control, at least for now. The small cyst in my uterus is still there and still small.

I have had SO much trouble with that one ovary! I need to send it back to the shop for a maintenance alignment! This is the same ovary that had the endometriosis and the same one I have been suffering such debilitating periods from every other month for the past five or so years now.

Done for Now

I think I have finally gotten both websites where they need to be for the first class. This weekend will be a major work period getting the Photoshop handouts ready to go. Going to have to do a BUNCH of new screenshots since ps7.0's toolbox looks so different.

Joules Update!

Whoo Hoo! Not only did Joules upload the great family portrait along with a graphic legend on who is who to Wordwrights, she also uploaded the luscious lemon she wrote to cheer me up, "Recreation". Vejiita gets some mighty fine loving, every which way! My creative mind whirls with images but all those bodies would boggle my poor pencil. Just more images in my head to try and research and find reference material to draw.

But first, Gohan and Sage call me, loudly. I still cannot believe I drew those bodies purely from scratch. Guess all the body photos, manga drawing books and dbz canon image study is sinking in even when I think it is not.

It is actually early for me so it is time to log off and get ready for class. Gonna have to get up early to wash the mop because right now it is bushed out and looking really scary. Actually, with minimum effort and just a touch of hair spray I could easily wear the Vejiitasei royal house hairstyle. Freshly washed hair goes into curl coils, less scary for new students.

Speaking of scary, it would be fun to do this twisted idea for Halloween at the office but hardly anyone would get the joke there. Should do the Vejiitasei royal house reject relative, the trailer trash Saiya-jin idea I had before the last anime con. Too bad I cannot find any cheap cats-eye glasses in the time I have to do this. Maybe we will dress up at the next anime con. I would have to find some horrible double-knit pantsuit in a sherbet colour first. Maybe I will just draw the charas instead. I do have a tendency of making irreverent artwork when feeling silly....

RAVE RAVE RAVE!!!

Joules sent me a sneak preview of the family portrait, terrific! You need LOTS of lemon bars after working so hard, Joules! It is REALLY quite wonderful. I love Joules' style. With just a few lines she can bring a character to life so we the readers can imagine the chara moving within her stories. And she uses a very successful colour palette, limiting the skin and hair tones so her images have a nice cohesiveness and consistency to them.

I told her I was SO off when it came to the heights of various charas!

Well, gotta run and get ready to bang my head against the final class prep! My poor intestines are SO upset! Stress lands there and in my head, causing headaches. Both happy gut and happy head have been happening on and off the past few days, duh, I wonder why......

DEFINITELY need to do some serious art SOON!

Cartoon Network Nasty-gram

Oh, forgot to report I sent a nasty-gram to Cartoon Network Sunday, complaining about that Cartoon Cartoon Summer whatever crap they showed ALL BLOODY WEEKEND last weekend, with no anime or Adult Swim reprieve. I don't watch those toons when they are on in their regular slots so why would I want to suffer through them all weekend long? And the new stuff they are going to have out for the fall lineup, dreck!

I also bitched about dubbed and sanitized anime. Told them adults watched anime and we wanted uncut, unsanitized and sub-titled shows.

Thought it was funny it took me SO long to finally find the Feedback section on their site. And they did not even ask me to identify myself!

What IS in Those Tights, Vejiita?

Anyway, anybody watching DBZ lately would have seen the scenes where dead Vejiita is talking to Gokuh and reminding of his heritage, along with Bardock and King Vejiita. Since we have only seen the Frieza Saga fan-subbed it has been interesting. I remember Vejiita being naked during these scenes, with some nice butt shots. So when they just HAD to have Vejiita in the frame with his entire form naked Funi went in and drew his tights on his body. It was SO funny watching the tights shimmer and wiggle and be 'off' from the rest of the motion going on. It was like Vejiita had little critters in his tights, running around. Hee, hope he enjoyed it!

Subject: OT: Help Stop Close Minded People

Recently the comic giant Marvel ackowledged its lack of homosexual characters in it's stories. To fix this they brought back their only openly gay mutant,
Northstar. They also recently outed a classic favorite, Henry McCoy, The Beast.

In issue 125 of New X-men he tells his former human girlfriend that he won't get back together with her because non mutants no longer interest him and
that he feels he may very well be gay.

While this is a major move for the slash community to bring homosexuality into the mainstream medea some groups are openly boycotting Marvel One such group has started a petition to get the story line stopped

Please help keep the refreshing openmindedness going by going to http://www.PetitionPetition.com/cgi/petition.cgi?id=4520 signing the pro-homosexual petition that was just posted.

Thanks,

Dania's Darling Drayan,
Chi-oujo



I have signed it, although you will not see my entry.

I Wrote a Lemon?

Hn, I don't think of my story as a lemon, just a teasing lime. The story which inspired it WAS a lemon but I thought my story just hinted. Sure, it has naked men prancing around in it, but if I had my way my life would have gorgeous naked men prancing around me on a daily basis!

Oh, btw, the rat thinks I did an EXCELLENT job at the first part of my story. He thought the first section had real heat even though nothing really happened and he could 'see' what I was describing. The middle section is a bit weak (and I agree) but he understands I had to have SOME way to move the story along to get to the final section. And the final section is just silly. He says he would have liked to have had more descriptions and detail in the final section, like what the washers looked like. That's a valid point, but he doesn't think I need to fix it.

But he readily admits he really gets all choked up with shounen-ai. He LOVES seeing sweet cuddles, gentle touches and all-embracing hugs between G&V when he's looking at my doujin .

bleah..... gonna have to go to work now....

*FREAK* Just one more day until the class begins! *SHIT*

Art

Will be posting two new oekaki this weekend. They are not that great but they are okay enough to post. Hell, I would post them if they were crap just to have something to post! I must admit I let the electronic goddess wipe out ones before I finish them sometimes. Just click on that Back button and ta ta!

Having those boards to draw on help me let off some steam without going into any major production or deal with all the bells and whistles of Photoshop. Working with the screentone tool is interesting too.

More about the Website

I 'think' I have everything up I have to have up for Friday. The rat will beta for me tomorrow and I will fix what he finds immediately and resend. Still going to take the site with me to the office tomorrow so I can work on it there too.

Now I have to get the 'sister' site on Blackboard up before Friday. Gonna do that at work tomorrow because it will be much quicker on the T1 connection.

Sleep now.

Family Portrait by Joules in the Works!

Oh boy! *catches Talon's bounce* Joules has completed the drawing and inking of the family portrait and has scanned it! Oh boy, oh boy!!! Lutra gave us a tiny verbal sneak preview on her blog and I cannot WAIT! *sits on hands*

But I Wanna!

Beta-read LFLS, Talon. Maybe this weekend. Because...

Website Woes

I better get back to the site hell. I keep running into more and more 'stuff' I am needing to just throw away or majorly alter. Definitely taking the site with me to work tomorrow and work on it there. I completely stripped the remote site from the server because the information was just wrong. I have no clue how MJ linked me up because the index page is currently not working.

Back to the grind.

Colours in Photoshop

Hey Joules! If you turn OFF the web-safe colours option you can get lots of pales blues and greens. As you find some you like you might want to make a swatch of each so you have them for the future. I can never find the right shade again if I don't save it!

I ended up having to go into Photoshop 6.0, drawing a grid, filling each square with the skintones and tail fur-tones I had already gathered and then taking the file into Photoshop 7.0 and adding the swatches there. I could not open both 6 and 7 at the same time, what a pain!

Bye Bye Doujin Auctions

Gonna let A LOT go by today. Only one I really and truly want, W Spot. Sure, I would LOVE to have more scrumilicious GxV yaoi drawn by my fave circles (another darling SENO YOSHIMI is up and I do not have it) but I have lusted after W Spot for a long time. And there's a RaddittzuXVejiita up I haven't seen before. I realized after the fact I let a couple more RxVs go by because I had not bid on them, just had them in my Items Watching section. Just missed them entirely. Oh well, I just put them in my Doujins2Find file and wait for them to come around again.

Time to shuffle paper.

The Royal Seal of Vejiita-sei

Sage, I bet you cannot guess where I got the royal seal! It is the same one I used on your nappie picture too. *dodges lamp*

I scanned one of my dbz shirts with your dad and big brother's picture on it then I adjusted the image so the seal was straightened correctly.

MUCH easier than trying to draw it free-hand!

DBZ Giggle

Oh, oh, MUST tell this really quick! The full-time office team does NOT have a clue about DBZ. However, today the son of one of the recently graduated students who is also a friend of mine came in and is following in his mother's footsteps for the multimedia degree. He saw my dbz calendar and started going bonkers and said, you like dragonball z? I held up my lanyard keychain with my rubber Vejiita and smiled. The boss Genny laughed and said, oh, she will tell you ALL about it, how many hours do you have? Then she told him I did some nice artwork! So we went into her office, got on my website and I showed him the nappie pic. He began roaring with laughter, leaning over and holding his stomach! Genny just looked at him because she did not get the joke about royalty and the ridiculously rich. But he did and thought it was a riot!

We also talked about oekaki and wacom tablets and Genny showed him one of the oekaki sites I draw at, the one with the professional illustrators. She also told him I had all these how to draw manga books now and they were really good books. I think we have convinced him to get back into drawing again. Hurray! Pay it forward!

Today was a MUCH better day!

The Lowdown

No, Sage, I haven't killed anything, yet. Got to the office today and the third boss was there. She had already heard about the tension in the office from the night before and she had actually gotten chewed on a bit herself for keeping one of the softwares in her curriculum. She had been told by one of the co-bosses she could do that and the head boss has now said no, that software will not be taught.

So I told her I wrote my resignation letter pending the end of the semester because of the negative feedback. She told me she had not heard any complaints about my teaching and she knew I worked hard, even harder than some of the instructors to prepare my classes and make sure my students got the knowledge they needed to continue. I told her I would consider teaching again if I had ALL the specifics down in a book. She loved the idea enough for the two of us to begin brainstorming about it.

So having that idea validated helped a lot today. And I made it a point to work hard at being NOT upset. Everyone was especially cheerful and light today too so it was not just me who wanted this to pass on by.

Still, I am still hyper-sensitive about it. And anyone being nice to me all of a sudden makes me be a tad bit suspicious.

SMOOCHES TO TALON AND JOULES!!!

Gigantic THANK YOUs for sending me stories to cheer me up! You don't know HOW much it helped!

Joules sent me a lemon-packed chapter called Recreation. I had mentioned she needed to toss Vejiita in the middle of the shared bed and let all the boys have fun with him and SHE DID IT!

Talon, give me another day to start the beta for Like Father, Like Son. I did not get much done on the class stuff tonight because I am still not very happy about it all. Plus tonight while eating dinner and watching tube we found our GT tapes are missing some eps as we went from tape 1 to tape 2. After having to check them all to confirm only a few eps were missing (first having to find an ep list online) I had to go dig up the seller's information. Crockett is going to take over the finishing of the letter to give me time to do what I need to be doing.

And now I am too mentally exhausted to do much tonight. I think if I get the minimum out by Friday I will have the three-day-weekend to get all the Photoshop stuff up.

And on that note, I must be off - but not by much!

Thanks for the Laugh! and now, The Rant

I REALLY needed it. I had a day from HELL today. It is to the point I have written my letter of resignation for my teaching job. I will teach the first half of this semester as agreed. After that I don't know what I will decide.

The best way to explain is to post the still under construction letter:


Teaching Resignation

I cannot teach the Introduction to Multimedia class anymore.

The only feedback I have received during my time teaching has been negative. I have been told repeatedly what I am doing is wrong, the way I have set up the assignments, how I calculate grades, how I am too structured. I find this interesting since I DO retain the majority of my students and they pass the course. Plus, other instructors have told me they like what I have done and have asked to use my materials/assignments.

Without any guidance or information on where to start (except look at other instructor's sites) I began to design the class, gleaning information from other Intro to Multimedia classes. Slowly I got a curriculum together, without any help from anyone else. I was flying by the seat of my pants designing a class where the students would have the skills they needed to successfully go on to the next level and not flounder there.

I have not been teaching in this field for long so I do not have the years of teaching experience to draw from to 'wing it'.

I will consider teaching the Introduction to Multimedia class again when it has been completely standardized, including:
Specific Assignments with how much each are worth
Specific Tests with how much each are worth
Specific Midterm/Final Projects with how much each are worth
The EXACT data to be taught, word by word, not just some nebulous general description, and it needs to be in book form to be studied before each class.
Detailed lesson plans for each class session with all the information to be covered in each session clearly defined.
Grading System in place so plugging in the numbers is all that has to occur.

Tell me what to do AND GIVE ME THE SPECIFIC TOOLS, step-by-step, to do it with and I will teach again.




I will add, change and adjust this as I get closer to mid-semester. And I am going to have to talk to the third boss and get her feedback on the issue. She and I see more eye-to-eye in a lot of things classwise and maybe she can give me some insight.

Crockett says this was a bad day at his office too, so maybe something was in the air today.

I got hit with this crap AFTER the rest of the crap I had to go through today:

To get to the lab on time I did not eat breakfast, assuming the other folks who are there in the morning will be there too.

First thing, I get there and instructors not from our area but using our classrooms are wanting ME to straighten out their schedules. Well THEIR baka bosses did not schedule their classes in the correct time slots we gave them so it was not my problem. But no, since I was the only fucking person in the lab (everyone else came in late, as usual) I had to deal with it.

Then the person who is supposed to be there at the same time I do came in and immediately left because he was already late for working late registration. The headache I already have from not eating is getting worse and I have no student assistants because they haven't shown up like they are supposed to.

Finally another morning person shows up and I can dash quickly down to the cafeteria for a breakfast burrito (quick) and dash back.

Of course, instructors are calling left and right in panic mode. Some are saying their contracts are not ready yet - I have no control over that, I sent the information to the contract coordinator three weeks ago and again late last week! Some were clueless on what room they were teaching in (didn't read their detailed email) or calling saying their home email is not working so what are they supposed to do to send me information?

The team teacher still has not returned any emails after Friday when she let me know she was having company this past weekend. Okay, the weekend is over and class begins Friday! I have to begin this shindig and the syllabus HAS to be ready for Friday.

I spent the entire afternoon re-working the schedule after MAJOR changes were made and even skipped lunch to get it done before I had to leave. Got it done with 20 minutes to spare.

Then got hit with how I am doing the class wrong.

I am ready to kill something, no, torture something slowly.

So the syllabus has been re-done yet again with the new changes and sent to the team teacher. That's all I have gotten done and I am desperate to get away from this for a while.

Joules, I read your GREAT chapter and will send you some feedback and little questions in a bit. It was a bright spot in this day from Hell.

Munches Tasty Treat!

*talks around mouthful of lemon goo and pastry, spewing bits a la Gokuh* Ah, Talon, I needed that! The next section of chapter 3, "First Heat", yadda!

NICE angst on Gohan's part and I liked bringing in Gokuh's perspective since he has been there before himself in BoaP. The exchange between Gokuh and Vejiita was well-written, by the way. I am definitely on the edge of my seat about what you are going to do with Videl element!

Hee, for some reason the idea of someone smiling while being thrown up against the wall would be considered a bit weird except we are talking about Saiya-jins here, so it is not unusual in the least! I liked how Goten and Trunks got into the spirit of the encounter too, heheh.

If it is possible to get the detail in the Gohan/Sage drawing, I hope to show a shoe falling from the roof where the half-draped window still shows sky. Still have done nothing on the drawing yet and it is calling me, tempting me but I just cannot get to it yet. But I HAVE worked on more of the Tail Ride coloured version. I desperately needed to do some art last night so after failing to get a decent oekaki drawn (I threw all three away) I went in and worked on Tail Ride for a little while. It helped my sanity. I am attempting to do the piece in flat colours but I just realized I have already put in some airbrush so I need to remove it and make the sections flat colour. It is going to interesting trying to make the tails in flat colours. I bet I will not be able to do it. I may make this compromise, keeping away from the airbrush and drawing the colours with hard line brushes and the pencil tool. That way I can put in some fur colour variations.

Gonna have to open Photoshop 6 and Photoshop 7 at the same time so I can get the fur and skintone colour swatches from 6 over to 7.

I am finding it very interesting I now HAVE to do some artwork every few days or I begin to get cranky and stir-crazy. Who would have guessed? I know I would not have believed it even a month ago. I am an artist again! No, I refuse to wear a beret or a smock! It's too hot!

Ramble

Got the syllabus completed this morning before work, whew! Sent to myself to the office account then forwarded it over to Ekta from there. What did we do without email?

Gotta go and tapdance at work now - lunacy was waiting for me at the door! Oh the joys of the first week of classes!

Ramble

Looks like I am only going to owe about $150 to the hospital, et all, for the ER visit. I guess the total is about $3000 but I do not know if I have gotten all the little bills in yet.

Got up really early this morning to check some auctions and saw they did not go off until later. Did some dbz looking-about then went back to bed without worrying about the auctions. One of my favorite sellers has a copy of W Spot up for auction, another one I have been looking for. It is a many-paged V&B and it was already at $50 when I happened upon it. I have been looking for it since I got the dj scans from Anime Playground back last December. I think I will just concentrate on getting that one and letting everything else go. Another part of me says to wait, because other djs I had not seen before and paid a bit for are showing up again in the auctions. So there is a chance in another six months another copy might show up. And there is a chance I would pay less for it, even though sometimes I have allowed a dj to go by the first round and it ended up being a lower price than the second time it showed up. Decisions, decisions.

Got some of the online syllabus done last night but I still need to get it completed, then get the new info moved into the printed version, redo the zip file and link everything up. Need to get it to Ekta first thing Monday morning. Blegh, it is going to be a bloody madhouse at work next week!

Feh, cannot for the life of me remember what my password is to my class ftp so I cannot set up my remote site in Dreamweaver yet.

Think I need to find that copy of "Black Dragon", beta it and send it back in trade for the next pages of "First Heat". I am definitely gonna be needing some 'scrummy' read later tonight when I take a break from the chaos.

Rat just brought me a peanut butter (extra chunky, Sage!) and jelly sandwich and I need to get some cold milk to go with it. Don't know why but the sandwich tastes that much better with an ice-cold glass of milk to wash down the sandwich, yummy!

Back later!

Math Atheist

Fuck, Talon, to have to deal with math in of itself is ghastly, but to be slightly dyslexic on top of it, *shudders* that would make me go even more blithering in my idiot brain.

The second week of my junior year of high school I contracted Mononucleosis. Took me out of school for three whole weeks and kept me terribly tired for months after. Could never get my brain wrapped around the math. After going to an advisor about it the folks decided to take the advisor's suggestion and hire a tutor. The advisor suggested another student, which caused me to break down - why would I want a student to know how stupid I was? So my folks found a graduate student. Poor guy! I still think about him occasionally, and the absolute wringer I put him through, trying to get me to understand concepts I know were simple to him. When we finally got to graphing lines I finally started getting it, because something visual was occurring, not just stupid theorems, formulas and such doing nothing. I also had to be switched to a different chemistry class because the teacher was the honours instructor as well as a regular instructor (my class). She was a bitch and did not understand why I couldn't keep up. Slide rules were involved, agghhhh! The other chemistry instructor was one unit behind when I was transferred so I had an advantage of already screwing up the material once. The new instructor had a SUCH a better teaching style! I actually succeeded with the material I sorta knew and went on to do much better the rest of the school year.

Shucks!

*glomps Talon* Thanks! *nuzzles her fondly* It's nice to be needed, *snickers* and I thought it was my lemon bars bringing you back!

Well, it is late and it is time for me to nab the rat and shuffle off to bed. Need more sleep to think about the chaos later this day. It is getting more and more muddled in some respects and getting straightened out in others. *sigh* Wish October 25 would get here so I could hand the class over to Ekta and wave bye bye to it for a while.

*sounds of thunk thunk thunk down the hall, then a yawn*

Safely Home!

He made it safely home, yay yay yay!!!

Chapter 3 Beta'ed and Back

Talon sent me the first part of "First Heat", chapter three and I got it back quickly because she is getting much better at watching for those pesky 'that's. Soon I will no longer be needed... *sniffle*

She also mentioned I had missed the ki restraints in the drawing, something I had remembered AFTER the initial drawing was scanned. Since I am going to redraw a lot of it I can add the restraint to Sage's leg. Been looking at a lot of sweet 'pillow' pics of Kurama and Hiei to study pillow fabric folds for the additional pillows for the Gohan/Sage pic. I keep seeing Hiei in Sage's role. They both have that kawaii quality about them.

Got some adorable Kurama and Hiei djs with little twins of them running around and being pests. The Hiei has giant shoes on, which give him this rabbit look. The first time rat saw the drawings he cracked up.

Hopefully after the chaos settles I will able to start drawings of that anime too. But first, I have LOTS of Sagey and DBZ ideas floating in my head. I would REALLY like to get something to Joules, but it is going to be until at least November before I can even consider it.

*growls then whines* I wanna draw!

Thanks, Talon!

Just downloaded the first part of the first draft of chapter 3!

Guess I misspoke about feeling less daunted with all the handouts. Realized since the interface has changed I will probably have to redo the screenshots of ALL the handouts, at least twenty (20)! I think I am going to try and fudge some of them. The ones absolutely needing the new interface will get changed and the ones I can slide on will remain the same unless I have time for them.

Drinking too many cans of ginger ale, but at least Crockett is on his way home! Hurray!!!

Terrible us, noticed the answering machine blinking about 8pm this evening. Our best friends called yesterday afternoon about getting together today and helping to paint Alex's wooden train table with all sorts of things. Damn! Finally got in touch with them about 8:45pm and apologized profusely. It all worked out because they had too many errands to run themselves. They teach at a junior high and school begins for them on Monday too.

Must get off the line because my rat-skee will be calling again soon.

Quick Break #1

Qapla'! (success!) Photoshop 7.0 loaded like a dream!

While I am updating everything I am also re-organizing the image files so they actually have names (not just image101 like Word converted everything to) and they are going into specific folders for better organization for the future. I let this ride for an entire academic year so it was time to fix it. I have to convert both the html file AND the hard copy handout so it is taking a lot of time. But everything will be much easier to find in the future.

I think I will be able to ease off on some of the stress this weekend. Since Labor Day will be a holiday I will have an extra day to work on things before the major work begins. However, since I have the momentum right now to do it (nothing like procrastination to light a fire under one's ass) I am going to push to get as much done as I can this weekend and next week.

I am rethinking a few things too. A lot of it has been having to figure out how to break it all up so Ekta (the team-teacher) will have enough of the assignments. When I estimated what tasks I was going to set for them I actually had seven of the ten assignments. So the first one I am converting to a 10 pointer to be added at the end of the semester if the student needs it. I try to be extremely generous if the students DO THE WORK. If they don't do the work and don't turn in the assignments on time (and don't follow instructions) I have zero sympathy. Bosses will fire their asses for less and will not have any qualms about it. Lots of people waiting in line for the job so the bosses have their pick of the best.

Back to the grindstone! Gotta get some of that syllabus worked on this evening.

Still Alive

Having to keep the phone line open today so I am popping out for a few minutes then getting off-line again.

Crockett got guilt-tripped into going to Abilene today (about 200 miles one way) and helping his folks with getting them back to speed after the flood. He will be coming back tonight. Anyway, he has the cell in case his car flakes out. Plus he can call me there and it is the same as a local call. When we are on-line the regular phone rolls over to the cell. Since the cell isn't here I really need to keep the line open so I can get his calls.

I will try to get more out here tonight. Now I need to *cringe* install Photoshop 7. It better not crash my computer without my IT rat around or I will be royally PISSED!

Action Figure "Action"

On my little clear shelf by my computer, specifically for my DBZ action figures, I am having a dance ball. The couples dancing are; Nappa and Jeice, Radditzu and Vejiita, Mirai Trunks and Gokuh and Majin Vejiita and Angel Gokuh.

On top of my computer monitor SSJ Vejiita is happily semi with SSJ Gokuh. I like putting my SSJ monk-monks in all kinds of positions.

Hentai Institute Banner?

I guess Talon is referring to the "Imbracing Incest in 2001" banner. Well, that particular banner was made with dj scans and while it IS attractive I wish Mi'mo would have used some of her killer artwork instead. I do like how the Institute uses dj scans for some of their stuff (and they DO use some of the most delicious images!) but since both Mi'mo and Angelus are such great artists it really does surprise me.

What I Drew at the Hospital

Got most of the pencil done at the hospital. Ended up staying up too late last night inking it. I think it came out kawaii.

Tried yet another technique with this piece - I stylized the hair to try and be a bit more 'canon'.

Run your mouse over pic to see the alt tag. *snicker*

I will scan in a larger version of it later and make a colour version of it, using flat colours.

Lack of Results

Joules' sweet ecard made me realize I needed to let those reading know the results of the sonogram.

I had let myself get slightly dehydrated the evening before (didn't drink much when thirsty) so when it was time to down the 32 ounces of water I was more than ready to quench my thirst. Thought I was doing really well until five fucking minutes before I got called from the radiology waiting room into the back room. Then it hit, it's time to pee NOW!!!

Well, the radiologist had the tech do both the traditional sonogram and the dildo cam. (I just could not say that to the young tech girl!) After a lot of work I was finally able to get the girl to loosen up and snicker at my jokes. At one point I asked her if she saw any alien lifeforms, she liked that one.

The regular sonogram was actually the worse because of the terrible pressure needed to press on the full bladder to get to the uterus, et al. The fluid is needed to get the best sonogram images. Having to clench hard on the bladder muscles each time a deep press had to occur was a bit painful.

The transvaginal sonogram required a totally empty bladder. Figures. The tech had me go again in the middle of the procedure because I was filling up again. Didn't really have much to squeeze out but it was enough to mess up the pictures. Told the tech they needed to develop a diretic for instant empty bladder for times just like this. Having to go from holding it over-full so sloshing sounds can be heard to pushing everything out to the point of turning blue in the face just struck me as something from a sit-com.

That's all I know for now. Guess I will need to call my ob/gyn sometime next week and see he has any comment about my pretty pictures.

Drawing in Public Draws People to You

I had taken my drawing tools with me so I could do something productive while waiting. My first wait station was in the Admitting lobby on the first floor. Me pulling out my pad and pencils and beginning to draw caused an older man to begin a conversation with me. First he asked if I was drawing something without looking at it. Responding with a yes, he then began to tell me about his daughter, who could do the same thing, she could just pick up drawing materials and begin drawing. I did tell him the idea in my head did not always come out on the paper the way I had seen it in my head. We continued to share information back and forth. He's was a retired plumber and was waiting for his brother who was there for some tests. At one point he had gone to find his brother but could not find him. So he was waiting for his brother to find him in the lobby. His daughter had won a variety of scholarships for her art but just wanted to scribble instead. Jeeze, wish I had been able to have gotten even one art scholarship for school! After I ponder on it a bit I think the daughter does not want to lose her love for art, something that can definitely happen when you get into the 'business' of art.

Evil Post Office

Will have to get to that nasty story later.

Musing

Just sent the 3rd beta back to Talon so the 2nd chapter of First Heat can get posted. I added a surprise, I put the pic snippet next to the text it is illustrating!

Crossing fingers and toes Talon's koi gets a job SOON. Or it will be time to hunt down the country music and kill it.

I ended up napping twice today so I still have not gotten to loading software. I better do it tonight before hitting the hay, or I will have to wait until Friday evening. I think I need to go to sleep now instead of trying to start something new. I need all the rest I can get and my eyes are telling me it is time to become one with the pillow.

Blegh, tomorrow hell begins....

fuck me blind ...

Spent the majority of the day writing that fucking fic instead of doing what I needed to get done. HAD to finish it tonight so it would be out of my system and I could concentrate on what MUST get done. Rat beta-ed it, then I sent copies to Joules and Talon and posted it at Saiyan Slash. Whew! That's done!

Made J Muse and T Muse laugh, which was pleasing. First fic jitters, ya know.

Quoting Joules:


[falls off chair laughing...]
That's just wonderful!! You have a very deft way with words - I love the alliteration!
(Have to add I really, really hate the advert. Much prefer your version!)



Quoting Talon:


*FALLS OUT!!!!*
Ok.laughed my ASS OFF!!!! *snorts*
*prances about in flowing, nearly see-through gauze with her fellow muses*
I'm a muse, I'm a muse!!! Lookit me!!!
*eyes fic*
I don't think I CAN read it again without hurting something!!
*still giggling insanely*
Thanks onna.I needed that pick-me up today!!!!!



Maybe I need to provide floor pillows next time I write or draw something. I seem to cause people to hit the floor....

Might even post fic on the website one of these years, although I have absolutely no clue WHERE! I had made NO provisions for ANY fics in the current design. Pfftttt, something to think about, much much later.....

Ooh, lookit there! For-Chan saw in on the list! Her reaction:

Wow.... she liked it enough to want to post it on her site. I am truly thunderstruck....

and a 360 degree turn....

Gonna HAVE to put my foot down on my creative urge and get to the necessary evils NOW. While I cannot give up beta-reading for Talon I definitely am going to have to stop everything else until I get the class website and the ecampus site set up and running smoothly. Perhaps... no, I doubt I will be able to get GohanXSage pic done in time before Talon finishes the prose so they can be posted together. The pic snippet may have to be sufficient for the time being. I HATE doing it, but I just HAVE to get to the class stuff because the semester begins MONDAY!!!!! DBZ sucked out my brain last November and I just cannot let it control me anymore, at least not until I get my extremely pressing work done. It will have to be turned into a reward for while. If I wasn't having to revamp over half of my content I would not be up such a shit creek.

After the sonogram later today I need to fill out package damage paperwork and take it to the post office.

Then I MUST install Photoshop 7 and get to it. I have something like 25 pages of tutorials and information sheets to re-do just in Photoshop.

And I have SO much shit to get to at work before classes begin on Monday. Had planned on getting to some of it today but it didn't happen. The bosses needed me for lots of things.

I will be working at least a 12 to 13-hour day on Thursday, preparing all day for then attending the Faculty Convocation in the evening. Afterward is the Faculty breakout session and I need to be there to pass out all the paperwork and textbooks to the instructors. Even when I was not faculty I had to attend this meeting since I am the person who keeps the instructors up-to-date on all the processes and policies.

Then Friday we all are required to show up at oh-dawn-thirty for the campus-wide Convocation. It has always pissed me off the shindig has always begun before the usual time most of the offices opened. Most of the main offices open at 8:30am. The Multimedia Office opens at 9am. But now, the convocation organizers want you there for sign-in and breakfast at seven fucking thirty am and be ready to go into the meeting around 8:15am. I think this year I am going to complain with the official complaint form. Breakfast at 9am next year, thank you! You can cut all the blah blah blah, get to the meat of the meeting and still be out at the same time as scheduled in the past.

After Convocation we have to drag our tired carcasses to the department luncheon. After the luncheon we all go back to our offices, supposedly to have a dept. meeting. Our workgroup just sits around and blinks stupidly at each other because we all had to get up way too early after having had been up late the night before.

Agh, eyes burn.

Thanks for the procedure info, Talon!

Sleep now.

Followup Appointment

Have to go to the hospital for a followup sonogram tomorrow to confirm what put me in the ER last month is no longer a hazard. I am just not going to work at all because the appointment is at 1pm, right in the middle of the day. An hour prior I have to drink 32 ounces of water and hold it until the procedure is done! My poor legs are going to be so sore from clenching them closed!

Evil Writers Everywhere!

Evil For-Chan had to write a funny ficlet and put it on Saiyan Slash, which has gotten me writing a sequel to it! Argh!!! I am writing fanfic now! Help me, Kami!!"

And I already have two friggin' pages!

*brain implodes*

They got me, they finally got me! No, they couldn't just let me draw my little scribbles. No, they had to tempt me with good writing so I would want to beta-read. They kept slipping me these innocent-looking emails, "just thought you might like to read this"...

Then I read a story I knew I could actually write a sequel to.

*weeps uncontrollably*

I don't have TIME for this! I MUST prep my class! I have SO much I have to re-write in the tutorials!!!

*hears the evil muses cackling in the background*

Muses

I killed two of my muses.... Dasia and Talon say they are dead because of the pic. Luckily they have risen from the dead! No dead muses, please!

I depend on my muses Lia, Dasia, Talon and Joules, they inspire me to actually create again and to do better work.

I would not be drawing again without Lia's encouragement. Lia's artwork is gorqeous and her personal work ethic to constantly strive to do better helps me to work on my personal best and continue to try harder.

Joules' combination of excellent writing and lovely illustrations with her work pulls me to create as she does. She also has been very encouraging of my art and given valuable feedback.

Dasia and Talon beautifully written imagery calls out. no, begs for illustrations, and I work hard to insure my artwork can live up to their proses.

*bows deeply* Domo arigato to you, my muses!



Guess I will need to have an oxygen tank, smelling salts and a defibulator prepped for the next drawing..... *grins and winks*

Swooning is still okay.... hee!

First Yaoi

Here is part of the Gohan and Sage image done for Talon for her story "First Heat". I plan to colour it and put a lot more detail in the picture.

I really love the expression on Sage's face. It think it reflects Sage's total trust in Gohan, the acceptance of the heat and Sage's re-birth as a whole being.

But I think I am going to HAVE to install Photoshop 7 and begin re-working the handouts asap instead of having fun with this.

Gohan? Never drawn Gohan before. Only have done the one Gokuh/Kakarotto before! Gohan? Hmm......

Okay, instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing today I completely freehanded my first yaoi drawing, Gohan and Sage in First Heat, the scene Talon has not written yet where Videl demands to see Gohan. I left it in partial sketch state because I already have plans to colour it and add textures and screentones.

Argh.... the scan is not coming out right. I will have to make some of the lines darker (fuck) and I hope it does not cause too much imbalance.

Ramble

Been purging my hotmail account most of the evening. Still have lots to remove but at least I have gotten some of the stuff saved elsewhere and deleted. Need to keep dj info so I can catalogue it, eventually.

Joules liked the dangle pic. She was sweet enough to say the drawing was priceless and I was brilliant. *blushes* I don't have that high of an opinion of the piece because it was not done in my realistic style which I prefer working in. I was determined to go with a more cartoony style so I guess I was successful enough with it, at least according to the few folks who have seen it. I just like my work to be perfect, thus speaks the anal-retentive onna. It will get posted to the site eventually.

Firecracker, whose incredible stories inspired the drawing, had this to say (exact email):


HEE...those saiyans are a might calm while dangling...methinks a good morning family argument is more appropriate! Altho I love that chibi sticking in the middle. Those are the fuzziest tails Ive ever seen!!

A happy FireCracker


I still think the Oni, Sage and Tenshi pic has been the best work I have done thus far, even though I look at it now and cringe at the mistakes.

So, Talon, what images are you trying to tempt me with so I don't get my class prep done?

Evil artist ponders what evil writer has in mind....

Rat's Dream

He woke up Saturday morning with a dream still in his head. The boy NEVER remembers dreams so this was HIGHLY unusual. He told me about is as we were waiting for our meal at Spaghetti Warehouse (not the best Italian food but at least there's a lot of it if you are in the mood for their particular flavor). Seems he and Trunks were on this other planet and they were attempting to tell the native population about Christmas (without the religious parts)because the natives did not have any holidays to speak of. He remembers specifically trying to explain wrapping paper before he woke up.

Of course we figured out immediately WHY he dreamed of Tora, because Friday night was when we watched so much GT.

*snickers* Think it would have been funnier if he and Vejiita were attempting the explanation....

GT

We finally got VHS tapes of DBZ/GT and spent two and a half hours watching the first few eps. I know some people shudder when they think of GT, and I must admit, it really is geared for younger kiddies. So I can see how Cartoon Network would want to have it. What we have seen so far is a bit fluffy.

Vejiita with the worm mustache and circumcised hair is SO scary! Then Vejiita dragging Goten and Trunks through the halls of Capsule Corp, really funny, and Vejiita is enjoying every minute of it! He is looking a bit old right now, cannot wait until he shaves and lets us see him in all his glory again. I am already ready to get away from the dragonball hunt and get back to oogling Vege-head. And where ARE those SSJ4 monkeys?

We always thought Trunks was just a pre-teen in this series because of the fashion faux-pas he wears, those stupid shorts! Seems he is President of Capsule Corp! So I assume he is at least 18. Goten with the cell phone and all the girlfriends, funny! And Goten missed out on a romantic space ride with Trunks for some stupid girl! Stupid, silly saiya-jin brat! You missed the chance to get Trunks out of those hideous shorts!

Treasures Everywhere

Hurray it is finally Friday again!

Talon sent me a bit of writing with the little slut Miju, such a naughty boy he is. Also got a pic with him and Sage!

Chapter One of "First Heat" was posted on Saiyan Slash, and *blushes* Talon dedicated it to both Dasia and me and my blue 'that' markouts. Don't think I have had a dedication before. *shuffles feet*

Xero Sky, after absolutely frying our brains with an incredible KILLER one-shot fic, "Inferno", (I think this one will be considered a classic really soon, it is THAT good!) submitted the next chapter of "Dominion", an amazing and disturbing well-written fic.

Baka-chan tossed in a VERY hot little VxG PWP "The Point of No Return" for extra spice.

Hopefully these will get others to submit good fic and help end the dry spell on the MLs.

And Dreck

And out on O-DBZ Fanfic, a LONG drawn-out story with chapters for days keeps being posted by one person and I swear it is a Mary Sue because of the original character and her abilities. I only read the first bit of about three chapters scattered about the list and that's what I see. I cannot guess what Mia is thinking, letting this go on and on and on. Maybe I have missed something in the content because I have not read deep enough, but I am NOT about to start looking at it now.

Still no Resolution....

Still not no resolution on the class situation but it did get discussed. It sounded like they wanted me to teach everything but the Flash conponent until I pointed out I would be teaching 3/4's of the class if the Flash component was all I did not teach. I was asked what I would be comfortable teaching and I said Photoshop and html, and I would take the one class devoted to sound. But the other person would do Powerpoint and Flash. That would basically divide it in half and I would be responsible for only half of the content and the midterm. The other person would do whatever they wanted with the other half of the content and the final as long as the final points equalled 2000.

Think it is time to go to sleep because I have so much to do tomorrow. Have to go to the post office and start the EMS insurance paperwork because some doujin arrived all bent up. *sigh* More crap to deal with....

Hn, TCM is showing the ad for the movie "Hawaii", *sigh*, Hawaii..., wanna go back, now!

Create Your Dream Resignation Letter

Try this and have a laugh!
http://technology.compuserve.monster.com/games/iquit/index.asp

My letter is as follows:


Dear Boss:
I can't take it any more! Your ape-like management style and mind-blowing lack of money have forced me to take action. Despite my perfectly acceptable abilities and trend setting productivity you have never promoted me. As of today, I utterly and completely resign from this mind-numbing coma of a job, to pursue a more titillating and personally fulfilling career as a aroma therapist.

This company has been a living hell for me and I will miss none of my fellow slaves and friends. I want to forget I ever met you. I'll never forget how little I was paid. This has been the utter low point of my career.

Sincerely,

bakayaro onna

Found a new anime art site all by myself - http://www.sankaizok.com/top.html - this will be the artist for this year's Yaoi Con. Definitely looking forward to purchasing more goodies from the online store! We cannot afford to go this year, wah! Well, we COULD, if we stuck it all on plastic, but when trying to get a downpayment for a house it pretty much keeps some of the spending under control. Oh lottery...!

Dangle

I am almost finished with 'the dangle'. Totally different style - trying for a more flat, anime style so it is definitely not the 'pretty' and realistic style I usually do. No highlights and shadows with pencil, just outlines. I even INKED the drawing and I DID NOT add shadows with cross-hatching except on the bag!

When I sat down with the scanned piece and started colouring I even had one of my DBZ artbooks in hand to try for the flat colour style. To a degree I got some of the areas flat but I still had to use the airbrush for highlights and shadows. Still could not resist making fluffy parts fluffy though. I know I should make everything flat with the colours but I just cannot resist making fur and hair look more real. Still need to make some final touch-ups before flattening it, optimizing it and sending it to Talon.

What DID I do before having a tablet? Hell, the answer is, I DIDN'T do ANY of this! I didn't draw and had stopped drawing except for thumbnail scratches for interface designs! I still thank my stars for Lia, Talon and Joules!

This is probably the last piece I will be able to do until after the semester begins. I have a set of three pieces to put on a webpage and upload but I do not know when that will occur. I redid the large Paoz-inspired head using the tablet about a month ago and the three pieces are the same image but with variations of how the pencil lines fit with the head. One will be the dark lines, one will show the lines much lighter and the third is without lines. Since I could not decide which one I liked best I thought I would stick all three out and let the viewers decide. Have the slicing process set up and ready to go. Just need to run the three html pages, reset them into the template, write copy, update the Vejiita and Updates pages and send them all to the ftp. Probably a couple of hours max, including all the screwups. Maybe I will do this as a reward for getting some of my Handouts sections revamped. Hn, bet I will do it first, so it is done... ah, I really want something almost ready to send up so I can have something for the following weekend. I have noticed some people visit the site every day. I cannot imagine they are doing that just because of the daily cartoon. I have the need to not disappoint the few folks who are kind enough to visit every day.

The class is hanging oppressively over me. Still pretty much clueless as to who will team-teach with me and what parts I am going to teach. Guess I just need to get the site up as much as I can with what I know. Shit, I have to TOTALLY revamp the fucking Photoshop section because Adobe changed the interface AGAIN!!!!!

Feh, gotta finish some work stuff now so it is DONE for this semester!

Slam my State!


A blind man enters a Texan local bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a dumb Texan joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, you should know five things...
1 - The bartender is a Texan.
2 - The bouncer is a Texan.
3 - I'm a 6-foot, 200-pound Texan with a black belt in karate.
4 - The woman sitting next to me is Texan and is a professional weightlifter.
5 - The guy to your right is a Texan and is a professional wrestler. Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Adventures in Jury Duty Part Four

After an hour of sitting the judge came out of the courtroom (all the way at the other end of the hall from where I was sitting) and asked the jurors to gather around him. When I got to that end of the corridor I had to blink twice. The judge looked no more than 26, a mere baby! He then began to tell us about the case (what? talking about the case outside the door?), how it was an aggravated assault with two other assault charges. When the accused heard we were out in the hall waiting to come in the accused took the 'deal', whatever it was. The judge said the accused was now on route to a correctional institution, we were free to go and thanks for our help! Just throw the juror badge on the bench and byebye!

That was at 2:45pm, freedom! Major dash by everyone to the elevators then out the main doors. Digging for my wallet to get money for parking I discovered the Junior Mints box had become open and I had melted chocolate and mint filling in my belly bag, with the majority of the gooey mess landing on the zipper pull of my wallet. The only way to get to the money was to use the sticky zipper pull. Know how weird it looks sucking on a zipper pull of a long leather wallet? A bit phallic, imagine that! Me doing something suggestive like that. Hell, I wasn't thinking about suggestive, I was too busy being concerned about the gross stickiness in the most inconvenient places.

Got enough off to get into the wallet, pulled cash ($4 to park in the close lot), grabbed my validated ticket to get out (validated tickets get $1 off the close lot but nothing in the lot across the street which is already $3, so no discount and tough shit), got in the LONG line in the covered (yay, no sun!) parking garage, paid, turned left, then almost immediately right to jump back on the highway, and back home to the rat.

Rat was very surprised to see me. Made him come into the bedroom to hear the tale while I had a liedown and a cooldown. Head still bothersome. Rat said he had been feeling sick that morning, that's why he did not go to work.

Never got a nap like I wanted. Ended up getting up, getting on the computer for a little while and watching a little tube. Rat fetched dinner and we pretty much stayed slugs for the rest of the evening.

The end of the 'adventure' is a real letdown, unless you count sucking on zipper heads the end of the adventure!

I kept wondering, what would Vejiita do here, besides blast the place to bits? Probably be a bit pissed about all the hoops to jump through. Goku, on the other hand, would have been clueless the entire process. What a perfect juror!

Adventures in Jury Duty Part Three

About 1:15pm the presiding authority announced we who came in this afternoon were definitely needed and the people from this morning whose names she called could leave. The rest of us had better get water and do bathroom breaks now and be back around 1:25pm.

I looked down at my drawing. Amazing. It had turned into a Mirai Trunks. My very first. Made lots of nice long hair and got that peaked hair parted in the middle pretty good. After doing that for a couple of minutes I decided to give up on drawing since it sounded like we would be called soon. Pulled out my Asimov magazine and began reading. Headache was still VERY much apparent.

While I had carried LOTS of heavy-duty dbz KakaXVege and yuyu KuramaXHiei yaoi with me (and the bag was heavy too) I ended up not cracking any of it open because of the folks pressing around me. If I had been a bit more isolated, so if they got near me they would have seen it, I might have pulled it out. But I felt the innocents sitting right next to me did not need to glance over and see drawings of self-lubricating butts. Yeah, not feeling very rebel-like - probably was the headache.

Then we started getting called by our jury numbers (listed on the form). 80 to 800 went to one courtroom. 800 to 1500 (I was 1252) went to another. Of course it was on a different floor and the elevators were small and slow so it took forever to get there. Just like the last time, we had to file into this other holding area outside six courtrooms to sit and wait on the hard wooden benches.

Flashback: Last time I did this the group waited about 4 and a half hours for someone to come out. By 1:30pm someone finally popped out, told us to go to lunch and be back at a certain time. When we all got back we finally got inside the courtroom. Again, it took forever for the idiots to get through everything and no, I did not get picked. Then they sent us back down to the jury room instead of dismissing us! Shortly after we got back they did dismiss us.

When someone grumbled about sitting on the benches and wondering how long it would be I just told him about the 4 and half-hour wait from last time with a lot LESS benches so a lot of people had to STAND for that period of time, and to get comfortable. Continued to read and massage my poor headache. Had NO aspirin. Definitely found areas/lumps of severe pain in my temple, back of my neck, down my back, like pushing on a bruise. Kept yawning so I suspect my body was trying to tell me to shut down and go to sleep to escape the headache. Figured it was a combination of the 'delightful' weather+ozone we experience in this town, stress and actual sleepiness.

More later.

Adventures in Jury Duty Part Two

Pull out pencil and pad and start drawing the basic dbz canon face to see what will come out. Listen to the stupid movie in the background. Lots of emphasis on the people who are NOT eligible for jury duty. Almost makes me want to be convicted of a felony or be illiterate....

People behind me chat. One guy talks about being on a jury how voting gets your name in the hat A woman talks how about driver's license renewal gets you in the loop. One of the reasons why I DO NOT vote is to keep my name from coming up. Some older man who has been there all morning talks about a woman he met in his group of jury 'cattle' and how she was happy to get the summons and do her duty because she had just gotten back from some country like Pakistan the day before, where war lords and such were the government, such as it was. Later, a cop came up to the same older man and told him he was in trouble, in a menacing voice. The guy just laughed and the cop began laughing too.

Part 3 on it's way later.

Adventures in Jury Duty Part One

So I as I walk out the door the headache hit. Get in the car and gave myself enough time so I could get lost. Looked at the map and noticed I was not going to the courthouse right in downtown but the courthouse across the highway. I hate Dallas. They have THREE courthouses!

It is actually better to go the other one as it is a straight shot from the apt. Just jump on the highway, take another highway right before getting into town, drive to the end and there's the street I need to be on. But the map said turn right, not left. After about a quarter mile and seeing low-life buildings on the left instead of a courthouse I did the u-turn and went back the way I came. There it was. Took the closer parking garage.

People actually thought I knew where I was going because of my purposeful stride. Didn't have the heart to tell them they needed to read the signs BEFORE they got to them and follow the arrows. Imagine, asking people to read and follow instructions! What a concept!

So, go through the metal detector, walk to the Jury 'holding pen', tear off the ticket, shove it in the window and not wait for the instructions I had already heard before when observing the idiots standing around stupidly.

Gigantic holding pen. Find a seat way in the back but in the aisle so I can straighten out my poor gimped leg.

More later. Headache has been with me since I stepped out today.

Thanks:
--> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!

--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.

--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.

--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's and her own stories.

--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.

--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of doujinshi! *LOL*
