old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

when i went to dinner
I had to go out to dinner with my grandparents and parents last night. And Ash’s parents came along. To my right I had my mom, gramma, and Ash’s mom, and to my left, dad, granddad and Ash’s dad. They were all talking about something different… and I was there in the middle by myself. I don’t like this pic…

Art Post: Gandalf oekaki (Lord of the Rings)
Gandalf and Shadowfax, done in record time because I had to leave… messy watercolours but I’m happy with it all the same. There are a few things I would have fixed, but this is just an oekaki after all. (oekaki was an online social drawing system.)

Art Post: Ron and Hermione (Harry Potter)
For Tanja’s Valentine Project, the only couple I think will ever really happen… or, that is, should ever happen. I did a really rough sketch, scanned it, and used my lovely new tablet I got for Christmas to do the rest. I love my tablet!

when i couldn’t figure out oekaki
If anyone out there can help me with this — or knows someone who can help me with this — please let me know! I cannot figure out this oekakibbs. I mean, I got the regular one set up (the one that syste.ms/oekaki explains how to set up), but that’s not the one I want. I want the Shi-Cyan Paintbbs.…

Art Post: Harry Oekaki
A little Harry oekaki… sort of a mix between the “Odd Glowing Harry” from the Super Freak Out 3, and my Lulu oekaki from a few days beforehand. (oekaki was an online social drawing system.)

when elfwood destroyed my gallery
ARrrrrgh Elfwood. I now have 3 pictures left in my gallery. Fine, they can take down my Harry Potter stuff. I don’t care. I would have taken it down myself when they said “no more fanart,” but THEY were saying Book Fanart is OKAY. But why did they take down my Another Place, Another Time? Because it’s not so in-your-face…

when elfwood rejected my lupin pic
Elfwood gallery was updated… but they didn’t add my Lupin pic. Rejected cause it didn’t fit. rar.

Art Post: Rikku oekaki (FFX)
I saved the linework of this one, because I think I want to recolour it in a bright sharper way someday. I think that would be more suited to it. Her face looks a little too manly, I could have fixed that but I didn’t notice it until later.

when i saw holy grail cosplay
LOOK!! At Katsucon today!! Holy Grail cosplay!! Oh my god, that’s so great.

when i changed cath’s computer settings
Cat has her own… er, profile (? is that what you call it) on my aunt’s computer now. I went in and changed some stuff. I switched her desktop from Frodo to Gimli, and made her startup sound an old wav of her singing I Will Survive. I wish I was going to be there when she logs in next…

when i missed valentine’s day
So here it is, 11:30 at night and I’m still at my aunt’s on her new computer. I think it was around 10 I gave up and decided to spend the night. I’m the only one still up. This is a great computer. Nice scanner, great printer, cute little flat screen and a keyboard just like mine. Plus… roadrunner internet……

when i updated
Dere, I updated… I didn’t realise I had so many oekakis. And one is missing. Some of that stuff (the issue 7 designs and the cosplay) should have gone in 2001, but I didn’t feel like moving it… I’m going over to my aunt’s tonight to work on their new computer. They want some stuff set up and all that…

Art Post: Valentine’s Day!
Just a quick silly oekaki of Piper and Indy for valentine’s! Hehe, I’m quite happy with this one. I was going to use this as my backup Valentine if I didn’t finish the Gandalf in time. I think this may have been better…

Art Post: James and Lily oekaki (Harry Potter)
A little oekaki that I started on, but got called away from and didn’t get to finish. I sort of like the light, unfinished look anyway. (oekaki was an online social drawing system.)

the moleman prophecies
Everytime I see the title The Mothman Prophecies, I think it says The Moleman Prophecies. Ha, Hans Moleman. I’m gonna make that cake tonight, dangit. I am. As long as I finish this CG in time.

when i hated dawn
Gosh, but I hate Dawn. Really, really. I wish she’d go jump in a well and stay there.

Art Post: Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)
This was originally valentine’s day card, but after I finished I went back and redid the smoke and made it just a regular old Gandalf picture. In case you can’t tell, he is my favourite Lord of the Rings character. He’s kinda creepy here, I don’t think I worked on the eyes enough. Like the Ron/Hermione pic, I went from…

when i worked on the hp valentines
I got an email verification letter from bravenet today, at my email for the sundowner subs. oO; I don’t *think* I signed up for bravenet with that email… no, I’m pretty sure I didn’t. Oh well. Whatever. No oekaki today for me… I have to finish my valentine… I finally finished the linework last night, got to colour it this…

Art Post: Lulu oekaki (FFX)
This was the third oekaki I did, and it’s one of my favourites so far! I love lulu. I like this picture. (oekaki was an online social drawing system.)

when i rolled in zee hay
I found $25 in my pants pocket. YAY! Sparklist called me *again* today. Seriously? It’s spam and it’s on my answering machine. Just leave me alone! I don’t care about your service, I don’t want to use it, I don’t use the one I’ve already got, and it’s *free.* And could you butcher my name anymore? Good grief. I turned…
