*is in Arkansas*
So it's pretty dang warm here, but without broadband or even AIM (unless I hook my laptop up to the phone line, which I'm too lazy to do), I still feel cold and isolated. ;_;

Cold and isolated.

Solo: Genius! :O

Baron: Oh, no. They're icicles alright. I'm just waiting for them grow organs and become sentient. At this rate, they should be by the time I get back home.

Liam: *refers to his reply to Baron* They could eventually serve as patrolling guards, too, if given enough growth and training.

Shin: "The Great Icicle Riots of '05". It has a ring to it, I think.

Mimmi: *refers to the previous replies* Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Icicle Goons would become b-movie fodder for generations to come.

It snowed all weekend long.
We have icicles hanging off the side of our house that are at least five, and closer to six, feet tall.

I feel that anything else I could say in this post would be entirely undermined.

Upgrade your gray matter, 'cause one day it may matter.
Got done with my midterms today. I could care less what I got, I'm just glad they're over.

Wait, that's not true.

Anyway, I would only have two days next week before Christmas break, but we're going down to Arkansas and Louisiana on Monday and staying for a week or more, so this was the last day for me.

Mimmi: Haha, the project I was doing was going to cover up my mouth anyway, so I didn't need to smile. And I kinda did in those first and last ones! =O

Liam: Actually, three, because after he left both of his dual swords in the Evil General Guy's chest (smart, eh?), he pulled out another bigger sword from his side that I swear wasn't there before, lol.

*posts*
I had to do some photos-of-the-me taking for Computer Graphics today, so I thought I'd share some from the über-cam they've got there. Anything to make up for that other lousy one I took a while ago, lol.







That first one's pretty odd, but I decided to keep it in there. :P

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (oh my!)
Just saw it, and it wasn't what I had hoped it would be. Not awful, but it really wasn't much more than some actors playing out scenes from a book in the style of all the other contemporary Hollywood sword-and-shield movies. It was dutifully true to the book, though, and that kept me liking it through most of it.

The battle scene was definitely the low point of the movie for me. It was a mirror image of every other one produced in the last five years. Erratic camera shots, a super-strong bad guy general who gets killed by one of the more important good guys, said good guy carries two swords, an even stronger Main Bad Guy (Girl) who just kinda swings his (her) way through the battle, and sends people (talking critters) flying through the air, the Main Good Guy's best friend (brother) getting stabbed and falling down with a ":O" expression on his face, which devastates the Main Good Guy for a few seconds until he realizes that agonizing over the death of his companion won't advance the scene, and he goes at the Main Bad Guy (Girl) in a fit of rage, slicing through all the other, less plot-centric enemies with conspicuously less effort than before, as he and the Main Bad Guy (Girl) make their way towards each other. And then, of course, there's the Bad Guy Infantry, which consists of little goblin-creatures that were--this, above anything else I'll say, is way beyond argument--exactly like the orcs from LotR in every single way. Hell, they were the LotR orcs, lol.

Despite this, the movie as a whole wasn't terrible. But it was pretty mediocre, in my opinion. See it anyway, because centaurs are the coolest creatures in any fiction, and they're in abundant suppy here. Fawns are pretty sweet too, in their own party-down, fawn-isn't-as-cool-a-name-as-satyr-ish way.

You know, I DO mind you coming here and wasting all my time. Got it?
We got some pretty heavy snow (and not some snow days from school >=O) this past week. Aside from that, life has been really, really, painfully normal. I found an eXtreme guitar tuning program called Perfect Guitar. I've got no clue how accurate it is, but it's pretty, it's free, it's simple, and it seems competent. So now all I need is a guitar (Christmas?), and some way of learning.

I also just got through with my very first time getting suckersmacked by Mimmi in Literati. It took a while to finally get around to, though, as the only browser it would run on for me was IE, which was broken for the longest time. (Surprise, lol.)

Man, I've got nothing to say. Maybe I'll just start making up fantastic lies, or start telling stories from my days back in 'Nam.

Help me help myself.
I've been putting together some vague ideas for that imaginary website of mine. They're both very, very unfinished, but I think both of them give off the vague idea of their themes.

In the first one, I doubt I'll keep it black and white. I'm not a fan of white or black space.

In the second (the one I prefer more so far), the text isn't going to look like it looks there. What I'm going to go for is to look like someone tried to write it, but couldn't fit it all in and had to sort of squeeze it into the right side, heh. And of course, this is assuming I go with the title Fuzz Incognito, and not something else (for the record, Alan, "I Am Living Kryptopie" is not going to be the title of my site. Ever.)

And while I'm at it, here's some ideas I thought up for stamps for any artwork I do. Like the website, I'm still kind of dry on ideas:

Sara: lol. Just how many jackolanterns did your family make? XP

Shinimegami: Sorry, but there's no excess food at my house. Only more food. >:d

My family has had three pumpkin pies in maybe the last three weeks.
And a chocolate pie today, also.

We had a ton of food today, especially considering that there's only me, my sister, and my dad in the house now. XP

We're used to cooking for a lot more, I guess, because we'd have not just our whole immediate family, but usually my aunt and grandma too. But yeah, that was too far of a trip for everyone to make this year, so it's just us.

Oh, and thanks for the comments on the picture, lol. It wasn't hard to do, just took a long time. =X

Everybody's doin' The Fish... yeah yeah yeah.
Mimmi: Haha, I could just see a Super Mario World hack where you did that. Oh, that would rule.

James: I'd rather take the mean, frankly.

Tony: Hey, I only know what I saw. And what I saw was Bowser pushing Peach out of the way, and then kissing Mario. I call 'em like I see 'em.

Shin: Heh. Yeah, I liked the 8-bit Mario cameo especially. XD

Alan: Their twisted plot revealed! :O
