Oh, the joys of notepad. Let's you write all sorts of things and with just a little knowledge you can code a webpage! It makes small files, rides around on a floppy and I can work on it as my hands allow.
words and such
Joules, glad you liked that lost words article! rat thought you might it amusing! And I am envious of your access to that "Victorian" dictionary. rat laughed about the watermelon entry and still mentions it.
Oh yeah, and the river trip looked like a lot of fun! I can imagine rat wanting to go on it. For some reason he likes these kinds of things, which is strange since he is not one to do the beach or other water-type adventures.
from Joules' blog:
ROFLMAO!!! Sneaked a peek at my Welsh dictionary. No Raddish, alas, but Rabbit is cwningen. And Carrot is moron... (I'm sayin' nuffink...)
Made me laugh so hard!!!
health
I think it is a bit weird how situations happening to my online friends are mirrored with people around me here. Joules' husband, Ken, is currently dealing with the same health issues my workmate Steve's wife just finished dealing with. Good news is she has a clean bill of health and now all she has to do is to go in for checkups periodically, since the crap likes to hide in cells.
Now Talon is dealing with a colonoscopy and that's something Steve is getting ready to have done himself.
Okay, no one get pregnant or Steve will be up the creek! heheh...
FYI: I AM worried about you, Talon...
Resting my hands this week has helped a tiny bit. Been hand-writing on the story-that-would-not-end a little bit. Amazing the errors I am finding after being away from it for over a month. At this rate it may be done by Xmas... but don't hold your breath.
Zorun
Ah, the Zorun issue. Well, I happen to like Zorun, Mahrayne and Kelapa together, the three of them. I have a special fondness for the menage a trois concept since I was in just that kind of relationship for about four months. Yep, a relationship. Since that probably will never happen in the storyline (possessive monkeys) I will just let the story go on its merry way and enjoy it.
Bruce!
Oh, how yummy is THAT boy, Joules! Evan is eyeing him so watch out! I am SO envious of your foreshortening skills!
Oekaki
rat is looking into getting an oekaki board set up at witzend since we have the space to do so. Mostly it will be for me so I am not limited to one drawing per day as I am currently at the board I frequent. Then I could work on the skills at my leisure. And maybe convince Joules and Xero Sky to draw there *nudge* so they can get their feet wet without having so many eyes looking at them at the big boards. Of course, nightswan-sensei is ALWAYS welcome and will make me work harder just by seeing the marvels she can do with the software.
Picky eating
Best not let the cubs know the rat is a picky eater, Lutra. Then they will think they can get away with it as adults! Have a nice trip!
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*
