I should be on track to graduate! I just got off the phone with the chair of the art department, and she told me that they assigned me an A for that class, and this means all my requirements for graduation should be taken care of. Woo!

To celebrate, here are some renders I've done in Daz Studio lately. Click on the images for larger-sized versions.











I have way more models and figures than I should, really. I've downloaded three DVD-R's of this crap, easily. :\

Also, I intend to make a wallpaper or two with the girl in the first four pictures, so be on the lookout for those.

my Threadless submission was declined. :( I'll have to do better next time.

I just submitted a shirt to Threadless. It's called Bloc Buster and it needs your love. If you have a Threadless account, vote the living fuck out of my shirt!



Even if you don't, make sure to check it out! It may be something you'd like to wear someday.


EDIT: If it gets approved. :\

Broccoloni is the word of the day, it seems. Still working out what's going to happen with that incomplete from, like, a post ago.


I should have been a Computer Science major. :(






ps. I'm not sure if Broccoloni is Broccoli plus Macaroni, or Broccoli plus Bologna. It was kind of imagined up phonetically as a slip of the tongue by a very tired yours truly around noon today when out with my cousins and their kids.

pps. My cousin's eleven-year-old(twelve in twenty days, she won't let us forget) daughter has a blog. What the hell does a twelve-year-old write about, anyway?


ppps. tune in to find out as I will probably bring it up again

pppps. if I remember

ppppps. I am apparently awesome at tracing

So last fall I had an incomplete in a class, right? And this spring, I asked the professor about it, he gave me an assignment he wanted me to complete to restore my grade, and I did it, and had it submitted well ahead of the end of the semester. HOWEVER:

he never changed my grade, and my Incomplete lapsed to an F.

This fucks me because I was REALLY hoping that I'd be able to graduate after this last course this summer. Hopefully someone can get in touch with him, but I remember sending him an e-mail before the semester was over to remind him to change the grade, and he never responded. I assumed that, being a professor, he'd be astute enough to handle the rest on his own. Guess I was wrong.

The second half of that video. May still be processing.

First half of my Blue Wish Resurrection Plus playthrough. The second is uploading now.

Currently uploading a replay of my one-life playthrough of Blue Wish Resurrection Plus. It was on Heaven Mode, so it wasn't quite as harrowing as it could be, but it was still pretty hectic. There aren't too many games outside of arcades that I raise my heart rate over, and this is one of them. I *STILL* can't believe I never died.

I'm 24 now, bitches

what did ya get me

I do so love a fresh Windows install.


Well, I love the freshness. Less so the having-to-reinstall-everything-ness and stupid fucking mouse and sound drivers that break my shit. Luckily I have failsafes and extra hardware, so it all turns out alright. Plus, since I'm no longer using the onboard sound, and now using an Audigy 2-series card, I can get EAX in games again. :3

I kinda wanna start a design collective. :\

(12:30:05 PM) the new stupid: I'm not an art history major, though.
(12:30:11 PM) the new stupid: It's simply my last class.
(12:31:53 PM) the new stupid: I would imagine that a degree in the field though
(12:32:02 PM) the new stupid: would prepare you for illustrious careers in the following fields
(12:32:05 PM) the new stupid: homelessness
(12:32:23 PM) the new stupid: your mom's basement
(12:32:36 PM) the new stupid: growing a silly beard
(12:32:43 PM) the new stupid: and pedantry

...and then I found out that I really didn't like most of the people out there like me.

Some things I've said before about myself and some that I probably haven't

• It is never okay for anyone I date to listen to the Foo Fighters. Ever. Or Creed. Matter of fact, if they have a track on any of those shit-awful compilation albums you see advertised on TV, I'd rather be dead than listening to them.


• I still don't know why, but I *HATE* listening to women sing. Exceptions are made for my mother and that lady from Dead Can Dance.


• Exceptions are NOT made for girls I date.


• No one but aurorafirechild is allowed to smoke Newports around me.


• I am so sick of seeing girls with really curly(not frizzy, just curly. Frizzy is fine by me.) dark brown hair.


• I'll be 24 in six days!


• If I don't have music playing when I walk around, I'll talk to myself.


• The Harry Potter books are meant for 12-year-olds. If you aren't twelve years old, stop reading them and pick up a real book by a real author. If your reading level is really THAT low, pick up a Roald Dahl book and do yourself a goddamn service.


• No sympathy shall ever be spared for a person who isn't willing to at least make an effort to fix their problems themselves.


• I TALK TO PLANETS, BABY

just felt like sharin'.

I keep hoping I'll be able to make it work, and that each maintenance procedure will bring me one step closer to having my computer back to the way it was, just a few short weeks ago.

Why did I ever apply that system restore? What was I thinking?

It seemed like a good idea at the time, though. It always does. Now, after weeks of start menu hangs and random system-wide freezes seemingly originating from unrelated programs, I'm less sure.

I've explored every option. My MFT is larger now to compensate for more files being present. I've optimized my registry. Scanned for viruses(though, if that were the case, I'm almost certain I'd know; I'm entirely aware of every program my computer runs on a regular basis, if not always what it does). Scanned for every kind of malware known to man. I've even posted HijackThis! logs and kept an eye on my event log to see if any errors or suspicious behavior was resulting.

I think I'm going to have to reinstall Windows again. Please, PLEASE stay with me, Compy. Once my Art History final exam is done and uploaded, I'll make all the slowdown and mysterious hangs go away, I promise.
