    when i had hitler screaming in my ear

    I just had my first basketball practice in 10 years. Oh my god I hurt. It’s been a long ass day, and now I have Hitler screaming German in my ear (thanks, history channel!) I’m going to bed now. I’m tired of all this. Oh, by the way, my Halloween pics are up – I’ll be making a lj post…

    Oh COOL! From IMDB: Hollywood hunk Johnny Depp’s wish has been granted – Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is set to play his father in Pirates Of The Caribbean: Treasures Of The Lost Abyss. Depp has admitted that he based his character Captain Jack Sparrow on the aging rocker when he shot the 2003 hit Pirates Of The Caribbean: The…

    Integra photoshoot pics!

    I took some new pics of Integra yesterday. Previously the only good pics I had were taken at MTAC – but at MTAC I had forgotten pieces (the gloves, the middle part of the belts, etc), so I wanted some more pics. Integra is off to work! A closeup. My lower belt was out of place in most of the…

    when i updated photoshop

    So I installed Adobe Creative Suite on my computer last night. the latest photoshop and illustrator and.. uh… go live… in design… image ready… and some other adobe stuff. Photoshop CS is pretty cool, but I’m so stubborn… I want it to be set up EXACTLY like 5.5 (which is the last time I “let” dad update photoshop, despite having…

    Sims 2 screenshots

    For some reason they’re not as good as the ones I took back in the old Sims 1 days, but here’s some of my screenshots. By the way, the game is really fun – it’s a huge step up from Sims 1. The only thing I don’t like is how few objects we have… and no custom things to download…

    Leia Progress

    I haven’t updated in a while! Well I’m not making Meg for Halloween. I opted for ANH Leia instead. I’ve already made the dress twice. I didn’t like the first one, so I got a different fabric and a different pattern and tried again. I’m still not 100% satisfied but it’ll have to do, as I don’t have the extra…

    when we planned for C3

    EEEE *geek spasm* I got my badge and my hotel room for Star Wars Celebration III!! And best of all, we’re staying in an Omni again! Connected to the convention center via skywalk! It only took 4 1/2 hours to register, too. Geez. The site was absolutely choked with people trying to register. I just kept refreshing until I got…

    when i lost a file

    CRAP. I was rearranging files on my computer last night. Good thing, it was a mess. I go to open the fanart CG I’ve been working on for the past week, and guess what. It’s not there. Apparently I deleted it while cleaning out files. *smacks forehead repeatedly*

    when i was scared of robots

    I realised today that my fear/dislike of robots goes back even farther than that Disney special (a behind the scenes of Disneyland/Disney World – they showing Abraham Lincoln from the Hall of Presidents with no skin on his face). Out of nowhere today I was reminded of Herbie Hancock’s video for “Rock-it.” Anybody else remember that? I was never out…

    when indy was on the table

    Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday 😀 It was pretty good. I got Star Wars DVD set (of course), gift certificates, the Mordor action figure set I picked out at Dragoncon, and a new jacket. Money. I’m still waiting on a few to come in, lol. Best bday present of all – got a raise at…

    when golf messed up my birthday

    So we went out for my birthday night. The original plan was to go downtown to Pat O’Brien’s, have some drinks, something to eat, and then go see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Well, turns out that some big Southern Heritage Classic is happening today, so downtown was PACKED. Like every parking space taken. So we decided not…
