Work those fingers.

Comment Commentary

Mimmi- Well, it was a condition, yeah.

I don't really care about haircuts, as long as it's left relatively long in the front. I say "eyebrow level," and they hear "painfully raised eyebrows" or something. It's at about the midpoint of my forehead. It's not like it's shaved off or anything. :P

Lea- We should start a pool. You know, one person bets that my hair will be cut right before AX, and someone else bets that it won't be cut between now and then. Like the super bowl.

Lewna- Doesn't waist-length hair get in the way, though? It would seem.. Distracting, I would think.

Shin- Oh, Shin, you and your witty banter.

Okay. So, Sin City. I've talked about it so much with my friends that I'm kind of burnt out on the subject, but I still have a couple thoughts worth mentioning.

The Hard Goodbye was good, though lacking in emotion, The Big Fat Kill just plain bored me, and That Yellow Bastard was my favorite. It wasn't nearly as gory or sexual as everyone had made it out to be (I was expecting there to be some sort of orgie going on as you saw Clive Owen pulling out someone's intestines and defecating on them).. But I still enjoyed it immensely.

My dad wasn't thrown by it, evidently. He liked it, sure, but he wasn't floored. My friend definitely enjoyed it, maybe even more than me.

The white silhouettes were the coolest thing ever.. Especially with Bruce Willis in the end.

Afterwards, I went out and bought the poster I mentioned yesterday (It says "Hell of a way to end a partnership," but Hartigan had better quotes). It's in a frame thing, but it's not in my room yet. I don't know quite where to put it.

Today was pretty dull. I went on the computer, did my random crap, played a couple of games, talked on the phone, practiced guitar (I feel like such a lamer playing tab without recognizing how to play musical notation, even though that's how everyone seems to do it).. That's about it. My friend got Doom 3 for Xbox. I think she should have gotten Chaos Theory instead, but that's not my decision to make.

And with that redundant paragraph complete, it's now time for..



I was looking for my art folder today, looking for older things worth putting in there. These are mostly crappy sketches I've made that hold more sentimental value for me than eye candy value for any of you, but there's a couple of them worth noting.

Chain and Bass. I made this one when I was on my surrealist rampage. At the same time, I was on a bass guitar rampage, as well as one for Resident Evil 4. That's where this came from. I think this one's about mass murderers, though.. A man with weapons on his mind looking down upon the earth.

Poor guy. A kind of math joke that doesn't even make sense. Actually, why the hell did I draw this?

I like how the gun is sideways. I'm aware of his painfully long arm. When I started this one, I wanted it to be a dynamic piece with twisted perspective and anatomy, but that didn't go very far. I left his face blank because A) I was lazy and B) I didn't want to mess it up (further, anyway. His feet are all jacked up, too).

Grease isn't just a musical. There was originally a quote to go along with this one, but I think it would offend people a bit too much. Just think "Perverted jackalope with a video camera," and let your imagination run wild with that one.

Not really a drawing, but it's art-related. That's my art folder, and I have absolutely no idea why there's a giant E on it. There's lots of other crap on it, too, that didn't show up in the picture, such as Buddha jokes, the word "QUEERY" written in very big cursive, some sort of LSD lollipop, an ironic poem about one person's love for eggs, squiggles, the history of the Twi'lek race, "Cut Classes, Not Frogs," and Tagalog lessons. I'm sure this is enlightening to all of you.

Gamer madness.. I think. Seriously.. Why am I showing you people these things? The thing on the right is one of those typical Mario-is-a-shroomhead things, with the caption, "It's-a da good shit," which my friends insulted because it was a crappy Mario. So I drew the one on the upper-left side, which makes fun of my friend's hair being like an eccentric Mario cosplayer's, and name-calling got thrown in there, too. How mature I am! Also, fat people getting picked up by Katamari balls.

Definitely my crowning achievement. This was actually a joint effort between myself and four other highly skilled artists- nay, masters of crayon- capturing the human form in a stunningly beautiful and profound image.

The end. I think this is my worst Scanning Saturday yet.

Closing statement: Half-Life 2: Aftermath is coming out soon- well, not soon. More like "eventually." There's no media released for it yet, but according to Steam there should be something revealed next week. I'm hoping it's long, and not just some eight-hour distraction. Also, I want to buy it in a box, not over the internet. I feel safer with hard copies.

EDIT: Has anyone else seen this?



Seriously, how is that a good marketing pitch? One-hit wonders from the early 90's with cell phones? He didn't even endorse it, I'll tell you that much.

Wait.. Is this a different hammer? That doesn't look much like the MC Hamma I know.
