captive

it's um, a bit darker than my usual stuff. I may refine it a bit, we'll see how I feel.

Issue 4 Thumbnails done

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Ok, I've had some time while we installed the bazillion service updates on my new tablet.

I've just finished thumbnailing the last 8 pages of Tabloid Roulette. That's issue 4, for those following along at home. I just need to have sign off on them, and then I'll start blocking things in on 8 actual pieces of paper.

Aha! Finally a way to defeat the tyranny of the blank page!

And now a word from our sponsor

is amazing. He replaced Kotoko(ibook)'s harddrive for me last weekend, and this weekend fixed my motion computing tablet. Both operations required taking both computers completely apart. eee! Not a job for the meek. Both were reassembled in record time! Thanks!!

Kotoko is much happier with 20 extra gigs and a faster hd.

My tablet arrived on my birthday, but had a whole 1.5inch bar where it didn't recognize the stylus. There was much sad when discovered. Apparently, it just needed a cable to be reseated inside. whew!

The tablet came with all sorts of cool accessories, a leather case you can use the tabletpc while it's on, a keyboard, an external cdrom, and a mobile keyboard, a massive docking station with a tilting contraption for vertical and horizontal orientations. It's going to be the perfect little convention computer.

OpenCanvas 1 works dreamy on it. Will be installing manga studio on it soon.
yaya!

Thanks

What do you think friends, make sense about me? p.s. Oh noes! it says I should stay clear of you Promethean types. But our lurrrrve was sooooo truuuu.
(don't mind me… ran 2 miles tonight, the endorphins are taking over!!! hehe)

Your Score: Pan

66% Extroversion, 13% Intuition, 100% Emotiveness, 57% Perceptiveness

You are Pan. You're an extremely creative and fun-loving individual. You have a predisposition to acting and performing, and you enjoy it. You're very outgoing, and you are genuinely interested in other people. You probably have a pet parakeet, play an instrument, write poetry, tell jokes, love parties, have lots of friends, remember people, names and faces, paint, and have a righteous social conscious. More after the cut:

You're very good natured, but can be naive and exploited by less good natured people. You're mischevious, but in a usually harmless way. You don't have much use for structure and routine, and your appetite for sensation and immediate gratification can cloud your judgment regarding the future consequences of your actions. You like to improvise more than you like to plan.

You look on the bright side of life. Even though you're highly optimistic, you can be predisposed to bouts of angst when presented with negative possibilities or outcomes. In combating dire circumstances, you can become dismissive and resort to over-simplifications of the situation. Although most people love to be around you, the more analytical types (Atlas, The Oracle, Prometheus, and Hermes) will take issue with what they perceive to be your lack of foresight. The main drawback to this is that they will become rigid and stubborn in conflict, and you will take this personally, becoming stubborn and inflexible yourself.

Regardless, you have a capacity for connection with other people that is unheard of in the other personality types. Your main strenghts are your flexibility and artistic and sympathetic abilities.

Famous people like you: Franz Joseph Haydn, Dr. Suess, Bill Cosby, Sandra Bullock, Oscar Wilde
Similar Personality Types: Orpheus, Aphrodite, Dionysus
Stay clear of: Atlas, Hermes, Prometheus, The Oracle

yayayayayayay neeeeew issue!

Anime Iowa was a blast.

Here is a highlight: Pic of 's bottomtwo monkies enter, one monkey leaves, thunderbutt!
So many random things i don't want to forget, but likely won't take the time to put in proper paragraphs:

What else, programmed a wave machine on his macbook for me the first night.
I brought silly string to the artist alley, and used it.
I went sleepy happy crazy Saturday night after art jamminess and got really crass in a funny way.
Got to hang with Mere, Pete, Brion and Jen a whole lot. There was much laughter.
The A/C in the room rocked, making everyone but me and pete cold, but I am a good people warmer.
Brion is very ticklish, and is also willing to serenade a room full of people to sleep.
It's a privilege to pee.
I was not the only one giggling at nights.
Titmouse is a funny word.
Everyone loves to sing Happy Birthday, even if it's not someone's birthday.
People katamari are fun, roll all them up in your life.
Pete got interviewed for a podcast, while in his dragon costume.
I started a mini-comic.
It was fun to yell 'hey hotpants' at dirk, and 'nice rack' at jen. also, passing notes is fun too.
Do not trust seafood in landlocked iowa.
Our hotel had a kick-butt continental, it had breakfast drumsticks -pancakes wrapped around a sausage middle! eggs, fresh waffles, bagels and donuts and milk. That a lot for a girl who usually has a grande chai and 1 bagel each morning.
We plan to stay in the con hotel next year.
Sometimes I think I scare meredith, but she keeps asking to room with me. ;)
con-plague sucks.
Iowa is not too far to drive for a convention.

Here are more pics

I also took a moment to draw in 's Magical Me book of Lockhart.Gildaroy Lockhart
