    Art Post: Qui-Gon

    For one of my school projects this semester. I really liked the pencil of this, but after the CGing it just doesn’t look as good. He doesn’t look as… craggy as he did in the pencil sketch, lol. The lightsaber effect was annoying to do. I would say hard, but it wasn’t really hard, just… annoying. There are some splashes…

    when there was a nuclear disaster

    I had such a weird dream last night. I dreamt that this nuclear reactor near us, like, had a meltdown. I woke up (in the dream not IRL) and everybody had burns from it on their face. It felt like a sunburn but it was numb to the touch. I was apparently living in this huge group house with my…

    when leonard nimoy talked about the etruscans

    So last night I went to sleep while watching the History International channel. Like usual. My remote is dead, has been for ages, I put it away on one of the shelves of the entertainment center so I wouldn’t lose it in case I actually got a new battery for it one day. The only other working the remote was…

    when i had con flu

    It was decided yesterday that I am exhausted. It’s just this tiredness that goes beyond tiredness. I went home from work early, skipped class and just laid around most of yesterday, alternately napping and reading. I was sick after DCon last year – I think I might have something again this year. I got a cool sticker for my car.…

    Dragoncon 2003 pics!

    I’ve been a zombie all day. I feel like I haven’t slept in days and I’m so sore! But yes it was all worth it! Friday we got up at 4:30 and started getting ready. Cath got to my house around 5:30 and we took off to pick Ash up. We got to the airport, checked our baggage, and then…

    when samara got me

    I was crawling around in my closet earlier today looking for a shoe. The light in my closet has been broken for years, and the floor is completely covered with junk, so I was just sorta feeling around in the dark, probably breaking stuff by crawling on it. All of a sudden I came up with a handful of hair.…
