NaNo Failure
Category: writing
Eh, I didn't win NaNoWriMo this year.
NaNoWriMo is an annual event where people all over the globe try to write 50,000 words in the thirty days of November.
Sadly, I got only a bit over half of that. 30,000 words, about. It's my first year, though, so I guess it was to be expected. But I am a little disappointed with myself!
Oh well, I'll just finish the book and be done. Then I'll just wait for next year, maybe someone else will join me ;D .

My NaNo profile is here:


Add me as a buddy if you're interested! I'd love to share creative ideas. (Not mine really, but I'd love to hear yours, heh.)

I like the name of your title "Iron Brace". It makes me want to read it. The synopsis sounds really good too.
limsey - 12/04/08 12:24
Sorry to hear about your nano... If you makes you feel any better, my book is a zombie story. Real original, right? No, it's not.
james - 12/02/08 22:06
I tried this year. I did. I re-opened a novel I wanted to write years ago when I thought it was a good idea. In the end, I knew it was going to just be 60 pages of sex and gore. And why rewrite Clive Barker?
mrmike - 12/02/08 21:44
Soon as I get an idea, I'll share. Right now, I got nothing.

metalpeter - 11/24/08 19:08
It to me is funny that the older kid should know better then to stick his finger in the babies mouth and then after he bites him he laughs and laughs
libertad - 11/24/08 19:00
That is cute. Almost makes me want to have babies.

Scion Commercial/Dj Cutler
Category: cars/internet/music
If you haven't seen it and you care:



I've had odd nightmares about this commercial.
Not that I'm scared of the little deviant guys...it's more so the cross-eyed sheep people.
That and world of warcraft.
Really...it's weird.

Well...it took me nearly five times to figure out that this was a scion commercial. Really, the car and the SCION.COM just flew over my head the first four times.
But anyway, after making this discovery, I decided, "Hey, why not?" and I headed off to the Scion website.
I was a little dissapointed to find that the site is not as "little deviant" oriented as i had hoped. But either way....eh...
Nevermind.

So as I perused through the....*interestingly* skinned cars I noticed a window on the side of the page.
It was music player filled with folders of mixed cds people had apparently sent in for some...contest? I'm not sure.
So I decided to listen to the Intro song of each.

I had a nice little suprise to hear one chant "BUFFALO....NEW YORK!"
Haha.
I looked into it a little and found out that the cd was made by someone named DJ Cutler in a (I quote) "Buffalo-based group called Pseudo Slang."
:D
Who would've known?!


I'm not sure if changes my view on the Yaris commercial at all though.
GO YARIS!!

Well, if Gary had an abnormally sized head, that's what he would look like.

'Kay then, that was another piece of random junk from me today.

limsey - 07/02/07 21:44
Ah. You're right.
It was Photoshop.
:D
paul - 06/29/07 20:14
limsey I think he means Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Freehand - the program and you mean freehand the technique because it can't be all done in photoshop 7 and also done in the program Freehand.
limsey - 06/29/07 19:58
This was all done in photoshop 7.
Yes, the outline was freehand. Most of the coloring was too.
vycious - 06/28/07 17:59
looks like it was outlined in freehand. am i right?
imk2 - 06/28/07 17:36
what program did you color the picture in?

05/30/2007 19:47 #39465

A drawing
Okay, okay.
This picture was drawn in BLUE pen before it was scanned in grayscale. I've put it in photoshop and I'm weighing whether I should go through the trouble of coloring it or leave it as is.

But to explain, this is the same character in my avatar or "profile picture" though on a more serious note.

He's just a tad evil.
