Japan Visit 2008 - SUPER MEGA ULTRA DESPAIR!!  
[I AM IN DESPAIR TO THE EXTREME]
Here's why:

I went to see if Salvatore's doing ok and THEY HAVEN'T STARTED ON IT YET. Apparently they're looking at the trouble, and seeing how much it costs and how long it'll take, and if it's costs more than $500 to repair, then I can't get him back for another COUPLE WEEKS. I'm long gone by then! So they're not sure when I can get him and since the repair center has Saturday and Sunday off, the earliest I can know for sure his situation is on Monday. WTF dude, W. T. F.

Now, if my mum and sis can be back by the end of this month, it's not too much of a big deal. I'm a big girl, I can wait for a week or two before they come back... but apparently they wouldn't be back in the states until fucking August 17. SO, if I don't get Salvatore before I leave, I get to wait computer-less for a WHOLE MONTH. The delay is GREAT and I DEFINITELY wouldn't be able to enter the international manga contest and that's just disappointing as HELL. Not to mention the total utterly devastating outcome of me not able to use my own computer for a WHOLE MONTH?! Actually more since I'm still using other's computer since June. FUCK.

So, why not just use a new computer while I wait for Salvatore to arrive in States? Answer is that all the good ones, the ones I want for sure aren't on sale yet. The FX the one I am now absolutely sure that I want, wouldn't be out until July 18th. The graphics chip versions are out but all the NVIDIA GeForce graphic card laptops are currently in the process of being built.

I

WANT

TO

CRY! (already pretty damn close. Yes I can cry over computers)

Mother parental unit suggested me to just buy the lower quality one but they cost only couple hundred bucks less. It it was significantly less then yea, I'd think about it, but no. I will NOT waste money on something I know for sure I can get a better version of. SO, if I decide to buy this Qosmio FX, then I need to wait until August 18 ANYWAY.

My choices are as follows:
  • Buy the new computer, rely my mom (who doesn't know jack shit about computers, including my sis) to get my two laptops to get it's RAM upgraded, and safely carry aboard the plane including two, each of their own computers and listen to them bitch about how Salvatore is heavy.
  • Forget about buying a lighter laptop, and just wait until they arrive with him. Including relying on them upgrading and bitching about how heavy he is. The downfall is that I will be stuck carrying him around again. I WILL not buy a lappy in US cause currency rate is horrible lately.
  • Stay in Japan for an extra week (I can't change the going-to date but I can change the going-back date with a $200 fee) and get  Salvatore FOR SURE, along with my new lappy. Then I can start working on the contest, and publishing elements etc etc etc. Downfall is I'd probably have to get a semester long break from college, unable to go up north with the Ron Family, and I need to change Dr. Tent appointment. And the fee is a bit painful and the international calls I need to make... mmm.
It all depends on Monday when I go there and force the sales guy to get the information from the tech support. It MAY be delayed until Tuesday but if there is NO possible way I can't get it before I leave Nagano... I need to decide...

[HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY]
Is everyone planning on doing those sparkle sparkle bang bangs?

The story of the slaughtering of the chicken... )

[HELPING KITTEHZ]


[UPDATE ON COMPY SITUATION]
My mother was busy yesterday so I couldn't get my new lappy. I dunno which kind to get really.
I really REALLY wanted the Qosmio WXW model... GOOD GOD THAT THING IS GOD!! It's a model especially made to be compatible with powerful video/graphics card and it has fucking NVIDIA GeForce Fucking 9800/9700... imagine playing games with THAT! It has a pretty kewl design as well. God damn I want it!! BUT, it's almost as big and heavy as Salvatore. BUT it has a really nice design on it, and it's black and red and OMG it's a dream computer of mine at the moment!! But Salvatore is fucking gorgeous anywayz so I'm happy with him by my side<3 But WXW is a grade-up version of Salvatore and... GAH stop dreaming self! I shouldn't and I wouldn't get it anywayz!

If anyone wants to take a glance at this cutie, here's the link: http://www3.toshiba.co.jp/jdirect/catalog/qosmio_wxw/index.htm?banner_id=w2317

And to be REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY greedy I want the computer that has all of the above, completely BLACK, and it has like the world's top class FUCKING TOSHIBA QUAD CORE PROCESSOR and it's an 18.5 in screen. Yea it's DEFINATELY heavier than Salvatore. It's a MONSTER TANK laptop that obviously I shouldn't buy. The 4 year time gap between these and Salvatore is obvious like none other.

If you want to peek at this just fantasy laptop click on the link: http://dynabook.com/pc/catalog/qosmio/080623g5/index_j.htm


NOW, lets go back to reality and look at some that I CAN buy.

This model: http://dynabook.com/pc/catalog/d_qosmio/080623fx/index_j.htm has the NVidia 9600 that's already fucking sweet. I want to play portal with this and good god Ron will DROOL on this lappy for playing WoW or Unreal Tournament. It's almost 2kg lighter (Salvatore I think was at least 4.8 kg {about 11lb} and this one is 3.3 kg {holy shit only 7lb!!} I dunno if 3lb difference is big enough but it's sure is awesome to have a lighter lappy. And it looks sleek. This is the lowest quality laptop that has NVidia graphics card and it saddens me GREATLY. I am personally aiming for this. I shall thinking about it before my mommay comes back and I might just say FUCK YOU I WILL GET A GOOD QUALITY LAPTOP not a lighter one that can't do shit. MAYBE. MOST LIKELY. Well since her laptop is 6lb, I can handle an extra pound (after carrying around SALVATORE...) and since I have Luca that light-ass External HD, things should be more than ok. Also it has some extra features such as the web cam that I'll probably never going to use (except for OCCASIONAL lol-ing with friends & that's a maybe) and I'd rather put that extra money into a bigger HDD (as u can see it's only 200Gig Salvatore the greatness that he is even has 250!) but I know I'm not buying this from Dell. Also I'm already determined to get my RAM upgraded to 4 Gig on the spot so that shouldn't be an issue.

Getting to the lower quality; this model: http://dynabook.com/pc/catalog/dynabook/080417tx/index_j.htm is probably the lowest I can motivate my self to use. I mean the TX/68. I actually love evrything about it EXCEPT FOR THE GRAPHICS CARD. It's using Mobile Intel GM965 and I don't quite approve it. Oh for those who doesn't know the Mobile Intel series graphics "chip" it's basically a mother board fused graphic chip so it's not a separate graphics "card". For those who don't get the significance between a card and a chip is cards are WAY better because it functions as a individual, rather than part of a big thing that the main thing to do is to run the computer. Obviously the card has it's own weight thus it adds several ounces. Thus this model series is only 2.7 kg (about 6lb) so it's basically the same amount as standard laptops.

Now what my mum wants me to get is these SS series: http://dynabook.com/pc/catalog/ss_c/080317rx/index_j.htm 12 in monitors and OMG they're tiny! Not as tiny as the mac's air models but it's still tiny. The heaviest model is just over 2lb and the lightest model is under 2lb. Battery lasts over 10 hours default, and if I was a business man, computer programmer, or a writer, I'd be JUMPING on this thing in a heart beat. Now let me remind you I'm a comic artist and illustrator, graphic artist and/or designer and majors in digital media where I deal with streaming medias and animations and video editing. OH let me add I'm a portal FAN GIRL and a semi gamer who's getting more into computer gaming. OHHHHH and should I add that I'm thinking about getting into 3D modeling? YEA I NEED BIG SCREEN. I can enlarge things yes, but being able to see the details without being pixely, and after getting used to Salvatore screen... damn. I'm spoiled.

Well those are my 3 choices. I still dunno what to name anything yet. Since my travel partners (Acardi and Suzie) are both females I might want the travel computer's name as a guy... but then again all my hard core working devices are guy names... gah we'll see.

Japan Visit 2008: Getting A Lot More Eventful  
[SIDE THOUGHT]
I was re-reading my earlier entries (like a week or two ago?) until more recent ones and I should read my post before actually posting it online... God damn I sound like a language retard!! Well, I already am but I portray the retardedness more. So I hope this journal turns out better than usual. Enjoy!

[LOOKING MORE LIKE AN ACTUAL VACATION]
My grandpa, the amazingness and greatness that he is, got my I-am-BORED-without-the-computer vive and he granted me technology expenses and I am too thankful and thank you is such an understatement. SO I am hopefully getting my new lappy later today. I'm going to go see Salvatore's situation at the moment so things shall be sweet.

Since my migraine headaches are being overly cooperative to me, I'm getting only the lighter headaches and they only last about 5 hours. It's VERY nice. So I've been helping out at the farm pretty constantly. Yesterday's day before was me gathering up botanical life forms that my grandpa chopped down at his rice fields, yesterday was me feeding most of the animalz except for the bulls and doing misc. chores like feedings the cats some fish guts. Today I made the bull foods and help stock one of the ingredients for making hose bull foods. I also did major gardening. Like picking weeds out of the ground for at least 4 hours. I got sun tanned. Usually every summer I die from too much sunlight, but finally my grandparents are starting to feel their age (I think they're both around 85 or 86 now) and the afternoon heat gets to them so they're working more before they go to bed so around 5pm~8pm ish. Lack of intense sunlight, the geek's heaven. I did indeed did the weed killing in the sunlight since gramps went to the doc's appointment.

Also since my mom is taking a break away from her little groomer's apprentice hours, she took me and my sis to Karuizawa again. It's so nice there comparatively to my gramp's place! Cool breeze and lotz and LOTZ of greenery. But because we went to the exact same place as last year I didn't take any photos this time. Remember the flowering teas that this one asian boutique store gave me? Yea we went to the same place and the store owner was there this time. We had a good long tea conversation and he ended up giving me 3 different kinda chinese tea plus some snacks so it was awesome. Also I got some really relaxing pants from there so it was all kinds of win.

Pics from their web store:
the right one is just like the one I bought. The one I bought is the black version of the left one. It's a bit skirt-like for me but OMG it's so comfortable!! Love it!!

I got a really yakuza-esque looking shirt too :3 it's not really "yakuza" theme but it's a collared black shirt that has designs cut out from it, and has a very nice japanese kimono design cloth sewn behind it. That one I had to pay for it (about $20?) but the pants were from my momma (well it's my gramp's money anywayz? so I guess it's from him).

I've been eating just stomach full of just amazing tasting meals 3 times a day so I am very stomach happy as well.

Well I shall go and do more chores now, I'll put more updates up as soon as I get to steal my mum's compy again or when I get my newbie compy! See you then!

Japan Visit 2008: BRAIN DROOLING BOREDOM  
[NO COMPUTER EQUALS NO LIFE]
I'm mooching off of my madre's computer AGAIN and it's killing me! Well that's not the only reason I'm in angst now...

I want to play PORTAL. Why? 'cause I do. My portal fangirl side is craving for anything portal, and, since portal doesn't even exist in Japan, I AM DIEING!!! WHERE IS MY COMPANION CUBE THAT WILL NOT THREATEN ME TO STAB ME!?!?!?! Also my goal was to work on some of the challenges I've yet to accomplish while I'm here and obviously without Salvatore I can't! I can't draw as well because the program that came with my sis' tablet is Photoshop ELEMENTS. After getting used to Photoshop for YEARS this program is SHIT. Now since I'm used to do any line art with SAI, the foggy lines of photoshop is killing me. Also if I work with anything over 100 dpi it starts to get laggy. Shitty computer is shitty.
My grandpa said he shall grant me my computer fund by the end of this week. Thus the earliest that I can get my new lappy is END OF THIS WEEK. Fucking fuck fuck fuck. Can't WAIT.

Oh and I COULD be wasting my time watching vids on YouTube or Veoh but since I'm spoiled with fast interweb the internet we're mooching off of is slow. Like my-patience-isn't-going-to-last-that-long short. If I was Ron I'd be destroying-half-of-this-island pissed. Oh such an unhappy fellow. I love him so.

I'm almost done with my Picross puzzle game and that's an accomplishment. I'm getting better and better while I'm not choring or farm-working. I'll be finishing my diamond pretty soon. Since I don't want to waste even a penny of what I have I don't really want to get new games to play. I'd spend it on better ram or a computer program that could help me on my job. Wow I'm so ready to get rid of my gamer's title (even though I wasn't that good compared to some my passion and obsession towards games were real) since I'm being too work/computer centered. Oh well, I just have to remind my self that it's better for my future!

Oh yea, I still want to design the two web sites I've been planning to design. Fuck July would be an awfully busy month again.

[SO OVERALL]

My life's been good still. I got another headache attack last night and I still feel kind of dizzy in general but I'm getting free food and free pitcher (planning on making tea in it after I get back) and lots of relaxing time to stretch out my arm. Too much, but I guess I better not take it for granted.

Everywhere I go my personal bubble has been invaded like woas. I've been freaking out a lot on traffic since now I know how it feels to drive now. I kinda discovered why asians (at least japanese) people can't drive in the streets of US. They use the traffic lines as only "guidelines" and basically they could drive anywhere ON the traffic. Also their traffic speed is pretty slow in general. Seriously most people don't deserve to DRIVE here. Well I'm not the one to talk but it feels like it's life threatening...

Oh and I got some really nice load of strawberries today to much on (worrying my grandparents on how much I ate) and I ate rose ice cream and it just DELICIOUS.

Japan Visit 2008 - Head Pain Strikes Again!  
[WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?]
I already saw it coming, but now people know I have a viral headache, ppl didn't freak out as much and I was GLAD. Still fucking PAINFUL as hell though. Today's was those I-can't-keep-still-because-I'm-in-too-much-pain ones but it only lasted egh, about 25hrs? and that's NOTHING compared to the usual ones. I'm almost safe to say Dr. Tent's plans are working to progress!

So most of yesterday/today was me squirming in pain. I was looking through those patient forums online that had the same ill-ness; mostly parents of kids who has them but some adults like me had them too, and one said that these squirmy pains are so much worse than giving birth to a baby. Here I cross off one fear against babies/giving birth cause the mental image of them ripping out of your vaj00 is CREEPAY AS HELL. And since I've experienced this worser pain, it's not as bad anymore.

I still think breaking your bones are a bit painfuller than a headache so I'm still planning on NOT doing that.

[UPDATE ON LAPPY SITUATION]
I went to the electronics store there and yes, Salvatore's fixable with like $300 ~ $500 cost and that is MUCH less to buy a new one and I was gonna update Salvie's RAM to about 4G anywayz so AWESOME MUCH.

Well I'm still definitely buying a smaller lappy. I was hoping to find a cheap enough tablet PC, but I have no idea where to buy/find those without having to spend too much money on travel expenses to go to Tokyo, and not online, so that's if I'm OMG LUCKY!! But since I'm too used to Salvatore's 17in screen, it's weird as hell to think I'm looking for a 12.5 ~ 15.2in screen lappys. There's a SS (super slim) model of the Toshiba lappys and the fucking batteries lasts for 9 hours. BUT it's only 12.5in and compared to Salvie that's TINY. Like TV vs. Nintendo DS. But obviously it's super thin and carry-able to the max. Also it doesn't uses the clear LCD screen to I'm looking forward to finding a 15.2in. And it's going to be Vista 'cause they installed some driver programs that only works in Vista so they didn't recommend me uninstalling it. OH WELL. I guess I get to have fun with the widgets.

I haven't planned any names for my newly arriving computers 'cause I dunno the FEEL of him/her yet, so I shall think of it when I get it. Hopefully soon 'cause I want AIM and my mom's lappy already has enough beatings from my sis.

[THAT'S IT FOLKS]
Hope the rest of my headache goes away super soon and I shall ttyl!

Japan Visit 2008: AGH The PAIN without a compy  
[UPDATES ON MY COMPUTER SITUATION]
Hasn't been better.

Much crying and suffering. Yes after my health is getting better now my computer gets bad. WTF mate?!
But my grandparents (sadly) are granting me compy money again and I feel fucking terrible. I need to seriously start getting famous asap so I don't have to rely on anyone else for these things... I feel like such a loser. There's no time for me to re-fine my art skillz. I need to just start doing whatever I need to do.

WITH MY COMPUTER.

I'm going to go see if Salvatore is fixable by the professionalz and if it takes too long/too expensive then I might just get a new lappy and a desk top when I get back. GAH. WRY. M schedule for getting my arts done is withering away since I can't get painter on new things if I can't fix Salvatore and gah. I am frustrated as all as fuck.

[LIFE HERE IN GIAPPONE]
My life has been treating well. My headaches are suppressed by the little patches I use it on almost everything (because I have no idea why but it works) and I've been able to take my supplements 3 times a day since I'm eating 3 meals per day. Yay for lotz of free food!
Also since my daily life schedule is so screwed up, the 13hr time difference is actually benefiting me. That is, I wake up around 5am every day without alarm, goes to do farm chores and does whatever I need to do that day, eat dinner and sleep around 9pm. Holy shit that's like the most normal-human act I've been ignoring for so long! But then again, my eyes still fight to be awake at nights so I'm sure I'll be staying up all night again before I go back. Maybe.

My mom is an apprentice of a pet groomer now and I lurk around that store to see cute ass puppies and dogs. Most of them like me so that's kewl and all but I HATE all the hairs that flutter around that room.

Oh talking about pets I think I've shown you the pictures of the 3 kittens that was at my grandpa's farm for adoption; no one decided to keep them so now they live freely at my grandpa's farm as a young and handsome looking cats. One is very friendly and the two is still ? about why I'm there so often now. I'm sure none of them remember me...

I love kittehz and I like puppayz.

But I love Salvatore to all hell.

Some superior being that loves to screw around my life! If you exist, gimme back my computar!!!!

[KHR! TALK]

NEW CHAPTER. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU MEAGAN SO BAD!!!

Well first off I am now kinda sure that one of two Dino-like characters are Basil. Wel ne has that emo-bangs so I'm HOPING. Also the gay guy became even more gayer... with the gradient rainbow hair dye and I did not know you could get any gayer than what he already was. That freak. Also I told you so that Yama would be fine. But even with his sword broke he is fucking kick ass awesome. Squalo is getting much kewl points from me lately too. I'm fucking loving him. Maybe because he's not completely swung around by Xanxus (which really doesn't make sense) anymore but gah. Yama is so just awesome... since Hibari for some reason looks way way WAY too nice in the chapter cover and I like him the way he WAS damnit. I might need to change switch the two top places.

Japan Visit 2008 - DESPAIR and I'm fucking IN IT  
[OH TEH HORROR]
Bad news first.

SAVATORE'S VIDEO CARD IS FUCKING MESSED UP.


Meaning I absolutely CAN NOT get him to start up normally because the screen is blank. It can't process the graphics at all normally so the only think I CAN do is to run it in safe mode. And even then there's neon green line fragments EVERYWHERE so I can barely make out what's written. I moved all my important files out of Salvie (which didn't take too long since majority of the non-loose-able files are already in Luca or Corrado) and tried whatever it can do to potentially fix it by him self... but no luck.

I'm DL-ing slow and painfully some de-bug/video card drivers on my mommay's PC to see f those help or not.
If not then I'm pretty damn fucked. I'll probably call the help desk people to see what's up, and if I have to send out how long they take and how much it costs. If situations are better just let Salvatore just R.I.P... then I might need to beg and plead my granpa for a new laptop and/or I am determined to spend the rest of my savings money on a good fucking self-built desk top. I'm kinda sick of my helpless-ness when it comes to fixing lappies and I know for sure I can maintain better care on a desk top than a lap top. OH apparently I got Salvatore in Summer of 2003 and it finally hit me that he's fuckin OLD for a lappy. Just thinking about me using him almost every day after I got him... he's been taking a good beating and care from me.

I really REALLY hope I can fix it my self. I need to work on contest entries/comic publishing/web dsign to catch up. Gah my arm stopped working for a bit now my compy. Seriously somebody wants me to stop drawing...

[SO NOW THAT'S OUT OF MY SYSTEM; THE TRIP]
Everything went fine except for the fucking long 12hr plane ride and me getting an headache. Since I couldn't rest so good damn it was mean. The plane meal is never my fav part and god damn it was lame. I now other plane companies have better meals (cause they cost more) but NWA suckz as hellz. Plural.

But yea, thank you Ron for giving me a ride forcing you out of your comfy zone, and For those who are worried about my health for SOME UNKNOWN REASON <--massive sarcasm I am ALIVE!

I've never arrived at Nagoya Airport nevar before, since I've been using Narita for all these years; and yea i's surrounded by the ocean and I was all amused. Apparently it's called an airport island and they literally piled up land in the ocean and made an artificial land just to build an airport. NOW, let me remind you that land-filled land is weak, japan is between 4 major plates, there could be earthquakes/tsunamis that can occur ANYTIME. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm it seems to me that these brainless people didn't think through this plan too well.

After leaving the airport after eating a bowl of gorgeously delicious ramen noodles, which reminded me very well that I was in fact, in Japan; went on a 4 hour long taxi ride and safely made to my grandparents at like 1am. Grampz left fishing at 2am when I was asleep so I haven't meet him yet. I shall hugz him when he gets back <3

[BREAK IS GREAT!!]  
[STARTING OFF FROM THE USUAL]
  • I am VERY not used to coloring dark skin tone. My personal preference of beauty goes to about dark tan the darkest irl. Though indian woman can be FUCKIN HAWT. Anywayz I drew it in SAI, colored in photoshop. I tried, once again, to see if I have the skillz to do soft shading in photoshop but this proves I can't. I dunno I always had something against how it turns out and it brings me back down to when-I-first-started-using-photoshop quality. With my skill, photoshop = gradient/sharp shading. I don't like this pic since the line art quality is BAD. I dunno my pen tablet stylus' tip is weathering away and the tip is definitely getting to the point where the pressure sensitivity is dropping like crazy. So I went kinda mono-lined. Damn I should switch my nib.

  • Quite proud of how this came out. Line with SAI, colored with Corel PainterX. I was drinking the shamrock day shamrock milkshake at McD's (mmm sounds good...) and it's one of those holidays I don't mind celebrating so there it is!

  • Something shoujo. This proves ppl I CAN draw cheap-ass BGs. I think there's SOMETHINg wrong with the anatomy but because of my weirs style it doesn't shine "FAIL!!!" so I shall let it be. Besides it's only a doodle. I am VERY comfortable coloring this way but since so many people do it I don't want it to be my style of coloring. And it's easy as hell. The coloring only took roughly about less than half an hour. I'm pretty ok with the color scheme. Lines with SAI, colored in Photoshop.
  • If you know me long enough I've been drawing him once in a GREAT while. It's moocat. My imaginary cat that meows moo. I dunno he popped in my head again so I wanted to draw him again. Drawing animals are so much FUN. Lines with SAI, colored with photoshop.

  • Ron: (looks into Salvatore) "...WHY are you drawing a guy yelling "MY EYEBROWS" and has a flame in his head?" me: LOL. I finally found a crack version of ArtRage, and it's a fun paint program. Fun yes, but I'm not used to their whole function quite yet so I should try more doodles on that program. The line seems pretty good but OMG IT IS PRESSURE SENSITIVE. It's made for tablets than Corel Painter! (And yes after drawing this picture I definitely DID replace my pen tip) I did like the line it produces but I still prefer the crisp lines that SAI makes... Ugh I need to find the SAI crack fast!! ANYWAYZ! Those who know, yes indeed he's Vongola II, and since the program is called "ArtRAGE" the only image I could think of was the rage flame. Colored in Photoshop.
  • Character of "A.H.S.M. Arificial Human Structure Model". Morte Foreste means 'dead forest' or 'lifeless forest' for the creator of this model. Little BG story; History book saids androids were first started out as just very human looking robots, and as machines got better, they started to be closer to humans appearance wise, and their purpose is to keep society functional. But people who designed these androids were mere doll-makers and they adored androids as "moving dolls". SO, this line of traditional doll makers still lurks around in their present (year 3098) and their function in society is to tune up already existing androids so they become prettier or alter their appearance and can do general maintenance. Well the guy who made her is one of the famous known doll maker, heir of one of the best known doll making families who still makes dolls, not androids. Mind you they still move but they have the most generic A.I. and is unable to speak or do ANY action without orders. Also this insanely emo artist thinks the androids are going to be the cause of humanity's doom and he finds 'end' or 'death', 'corruption' is the most beautiful thing in the world so he names his beautiful female dolls with grotesque names. Her eyes are forest green, and the deadly toxicatingly bright pink hair represents a parasitic flower that kills off the forest. Line art with SAI, coloring with Painter X.
[HAPPY SUNDAY AFTER SPRING EQUINOX!!]
I'm quite boggled by the easter-on-March phenomena we are experiencing this year. It's the god damn spring equinox earth!! GET WARM. I am a big fan of winter and beyond that I FUCKING LOVE SNOW. And I shall miss it dearly over the year, but I do quite like earth's seasons following the calendar as well. It snowed. Kinda hard. Anywayz I did have a pretty relaxing day. I should work on things in a fast pace though. I only have two weeks of break. I can't do MUCH in two weeks but I hope I can do as much as possible.

So on. That's only the due date -ables. I at least need to finish 1~3 in the break, but I want to get a good grip before I go back to school since I have 4 classes AND I need to go all Monday through Thursday so I dunno how much time luxury I would get. Damn you school I absolutely CAN NOT wait until I get that expensive sheet of paper that's basically useless!!

[OH THE BEAUTIFUL BIIRTHDAYS]
March was (I know I feel like March is already ending too soon) a birthday filled month. Ronkinz turned 21, Katie turned 21, and Megan turned 20. I shall take this moment to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL AND HOPE THIS YEAR WOULD BE BEAUTIFULLY LIVELY. Well I know you'll all have to suffer life with it's money whore-ness. I shall see you two on anime club this saturday!!

[DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE]
So I shall leave it up to the next issue of the Records of World Damnation.

Getting Better at Updating Eh?  
[DRAWING, DRAWING, DRAWING...]
Heres the list of upcoming things I need to work on over this WEEKEND. Yes VERY short time;
  1. Entering the FireFox T-Shirt Design Contest that's due March 16th.
  2. Draw out the story board for a short teaser trailer of "Fragile TV". Probably around 40 *beep*ing pages again.
  3. Start on the FLASH animation for teaser trailer for "Fragile TV".
  4. Finishing up all graphics parts, templates, and credits for "Enrichment Center" FLASH game.
  5. Paint a fairly realistic café so thats a pain.
  6. 10 sounds clip sample.
  7. Then using those clips, make a song out of it.
[OMFG 10YRL! ARC HAS STARTED!!!!!]
You hardly see me fangriling over things, except for once in a while. But here I am, after watching episode 74 I am hyped. Like HYPED. I have officially going to talk to my professional fangirl friend Meagan to introduce me to anime DL sites with great quality so I can keep it in Corrado. Yes it is THAT good. Egh the art quality KINDA dropped for some reason, maybe their fund was used up rather quickly with the awesome OP theme that was WAY better than I would expected to be so I'm just blaming on it. But 10YRL! Gokudera... WOW. I mean WOW to the power of 3302083928. EPIC. HAWTNESS. The voice was much better deeper (maybe just because I like deep voices?) but his acting was a BIT awkward. That's from a very harsh critic so standard level, yes he is more than ok. Then Lal-Mirch came in and GOOD JOB ON HER COLORING DESIGN!! I really REALLY like the red on the bottom. But again, from a critic point of view, she's a pretty "stealth" skilled person yet she stands out a lot... it's anime, I can't think too deep into these things... MUST... NOT!!!

I am somewhat happy that there were MUCH more obvious foreshadowing than in the manga that seemed in a way too out of the blue. The foreshadowing of Shouichi was beautiful. Making sure that the viewers know SOMETHING is up with this man... I'm very content.

Can't wait to see how other 10YRL! characters play out since there is only 2 of them (not counting Lambo and Ipin) and it's making me even more anxious to know the secret of the Arcobalenos.

OH BY THE WAY, I knew San Pegrino whatever that was mentioned in one of Meagan's doujinshi's... I knew it sounded VERY somewhat familiar... I had those and I know where I can get those but it's actually called San Pellegrinos. Here is the website for this delicious water, BUT I am warning you... I recommend putting really sweet syrups to make italian sodas and that still isn't MOST people's favorite drink of all times sake. The artist definitely didn't know what the hell she was talking about since, well she got the name wrong, and Yamamoto said it tasted just like water but carbonated. NO IT DOESN'T. I'm the only person so far that likes drinking them without sweetened so far and I guess my taste buds are closer to an Italian's than americans. Well if you are interested enough here it is: SAN PELLEGRINO'S INTRO. And if you are an italian manic like me, and you're dieing to try it I can tell u where you can get it. It used to be around meijer several years ago but I haven't seen them around lately. Hmmmmm.

[SHELTERING AWAY FROM HUMANS LIKE YOU REVISED]
I re-read what the hell I wrote and went O___O I MUST HAVE BEEN SUPER TIRED!! I just wanted to say that I occasionally shut my self out from society. I dunno I'm VERY content just being with me and only me, and the fact I don't have to worry about if I haven't done anything wrong to other people, or if I haven't been a bother, is such a relief. I have to catch up with people, making sure I choose the correct wordings... it gets to be a pain in the ass. If I'm alone I can be doing anything and no one will know and no one will care. Freedom from humanity is SUCH a relief.

But at the same time, or after a while when my cravings for freedom is somewhat soothed down, I appreciate the friends and the people I do hang out with so taking a break is great for both me and my friends.

[DOODLE OF THE DAY]

  • It's quite sad in a way these 200 x 200 is sometimes way better than some of the actual time-spent drawings. But because they are doodles I get to fully experiment on different things. This was outlined in SAI, then colored in Painter X, with Artistic Oil. Mostly. Gauche is the only brush that I can fully understand and use for my liking. But I did tweak up a few areas with gauche, and went in photoshop and added few more tune-ups and bwella!! I should draw more of these weird-ass art, cause it really focuses on MY world.

Happy 13th Again Folks!!  
[SO FAR SO GOOD]
Here I am, able to see the sunlight of the 13th once again. I lived a whole month from the last 13th and that was NOT long time ago. Time goes by WAY too fast I can't seem to have a good grip on the flow. Well at the same time I know I my sense of time is faster than it's supposed to but ANYWAYZ, I'm happy I'm still alive and I should be SO much more productive than now. Damn you head aces! and damn for another hospital visit MAYBE since there was blood in my pee and that's NOT good. There was fewer amount in it the last time I went to take a wizz but gah, it worries me a bit so if there's more blood tomorrow morning I'm definitely going to get it checked.

[USUAL DOODLEZ]

Two yet gain.
  • Line art with SAI, colored with SAI. I haven't had mochis for so bloody long! It's been more than 2 years. So here's me. I'm not used to SAI's coloring tools at ALL but it only took me 20 min.
  • Some sci-fi robot thing I randomly wanted to draw in school. probably around 45 min + total. Line art with SAI, coloring with Photoshop. Well since I've been USING photoshop for almost a decade I know every brush and the brush effect options and how they work so it was fast coloring. Although I tried putting in some details so the line art ended up pretty long. I don't like his neck part because I rushed through that.

[SHELTERING AWAY FROM HUMANS LIKE YOU]
I get impulses of not wanting to talk anyone unless I'm ABSOLUTELY necessary to do so. Meh I guess.

[OH WELL]
Now I am going to sleep. I'm drowsing off in and off. Shutting...down.

School Isn't Healthy for Me  
[DOODLEZ AS USUAL]


  • Pic 1: Chibi-fied Vince going "NO TOUCHY MY FOOD!!" This only took like 15min and it actually LOOKS like a free-hand journal. I sometimes think I spend way too much time on my light hearted doodles. Oh well. Moar practice.
  • Pic 2: Read on. Comments are in the next section.

[OMFG EXPERIMENTING PAINT PROGRAMS]
I've told people before the phrase:

"It's HOW to use it not WHAT you use..."


cause I thought it was true. Some people use super expensive artists' pencils and papers, using super money eating paints and what not and yea, better the quality, better the material would be. But if you suck it creating art, no matter WHAT you use you're still a shitty artist *COUGHCOUGHMINIMALISTSAND MODERNFUCKINGARTCOUGH* I mean I draw pretty decent compared to a whole chunk of the human population (I'm VERY aware there's a big handful that does draw trillion times better than me, but I need to accept not all people CAN draw unlike ALL people can flip burgers) but I use pretty inexpensive materials. I mean I draw most of the things on regular multi-purpose printing paper and ONE mechanical pencil. The only thing that's expensive is spray paint that I hardly use and copic markers and bristol paper and comic paper I mooched off my parents before I got kicked out. 'cause I truly believed that limiting my art supplies, I'm forced to be good at harsh environments, meaning when I do advance into better conditions I do better or the quality of my works gets higher.

Well that old idea could fuck off apparently cause I live in the digital generation. It's either you have the right material or I'm screwed.

As many of you know my art goes through these steps in order starting:
  1. Thinking up ideas (days or minutes or seconds)
  2. Sketching a rough pencil outline (15min ~ 30min)
  3. Drawing in the darker lines right on top of my pencil outline with SMEARS AND LOTZ OF ERASING (1hr ~ 3hr)
  4. Using the close-to-a-full-blown-line art I created above, I make the final outline with; Pencil on card stock paper (15min ~ 2hr) / Painter X (1hr ~ 3hr) / FLASH CS3 and if needed, Illustrator CS3 (2hr ~ 6hr)
  5. Coloring switching between Painter X and Photoshop CS3 (7hr ~ 24hr+)
Yes with such simple and clean style I have it still takes this long to have one simple drawing created by me. Some professionals do say that simple art is more time and effort consuming since you get one line off it looks bad but for complicated detailed art, something could be a bit off but no one would notice it. I should try and put more time in smaller details... but that's going off topic so getting back...

I somewhat blame how long it takes to finish a piece is because I spend way WAY too much time on a sketch. I should stop the rough draft when the elements are all there, but step 3 is s useless but I have to order to trace over the only important lines with pencils. I don't have to do step 3 if I'm going to do the line art digitally because I can fiddle around with opacities and roughly erase unusable lines quickly on my tablet. BUT since photoshop SUCKS at drawing straight lovely crisp lines unless your art is at LEAST 1000dpi and it takes FOREVER to control it to the way I want it to be. Countless Ctrl + Z. Same goes with FLASH. OMG whenever I have a pretty good line it catches my hand shaking at points I DON'T want it to be, making me pressing Ctrl + Z even MOAR. Illustrator vector just takes too effing long to adjust EVERY SIDE OF A LINE to go perfect.

And I've spent years to make my life better to make my life easier but according to my experience the above is the most efficient way for me. Why do I have to have such weird art style??? THEN I remembered Meagan said SAI seemed to be a good program and OMMFG LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL LINE ART QUALITY ON THE SECOND DOODLE?! I'm not quite used to their coloring since it is indeed, like Meagan said, like photoshop and painter breeded a half-assed version with both of their somewhat major qualities. So I'm not TOTALLY loving it, but it sure is a GREAT line art program. OMG I am SO in love how easy it is to make a clean, smooth, crisp lines, FAST. It usually takes me about bit more than an hour on these 200x200 doodles and it only took me less than an hour. HOLY SHIT.

Problem is I can't find a crack for this damn program. I personally don't want to pay a zilch amount until I'm earning about $500 per commission illustration and that's not gonna happen for a LOOOOOONG time :D And also I'm currently slowly downloading Deleter's ComicWorks (that doesn't include a crack... I need to find a crack or a keygen for this program) and even slowly downloading Ambient Design's ArtRage. ArtRage has a VERY AWESOME workspace, it's like mac on crack and makes very complicated brush tip manipulations. Yea I know painter does a damn good job on it except you need a super computer to do anything interesting with 600dpi which I like to work with. Even having at 300dpi lags with large brushes and ArtRage works pretty smoothly. I could get the actual program for only $25 and that's probably why no one has put it up on torrent, but if anyone can help me find a better torrent or a good cracked versions, even only the crack or keygens of any of these programs I shall hug you and you get a good hot chocolate or a bottle of your favorite beverage.

[ART CRITIQUES]
I request DAMN GOOD AND SUPER HARSH art critiques. Even for my mini doodles, I want you to glare at it, point out flaws or even suggestions. I don't care if you can't draw yourself. You may love it so much you want to make love with it after figuring out a way to jump into computer screens but seriously I can't improve unless you get harsh. I'm an adrenalin junkie. I neeeeeeeeed harsh comments and critiques to pressure my self to improve! It's my humble request.

By the way, going back to my Aldrich doodle; I grew out his hair a bit so he didn't look too much like a sinister, arrogant dickweed version of Vince. Although I did forget to spike his hair a BIIIIIT moar on the top.

[SCHOOL IS SHORTENING MY LIFE]
I am fully aware that I hate school cause I'm lazy. But I hate the meaningless effort on assignments. You don't get money, you don't get much intelligence out of working on assignments, WHAT the EFF??? Isn't school supposed to improve the students to be better human beings when they go out in the so called real world? THEY DON'T DO THAT AT ALL. I can complain for hours about how the educational system is SO fucked up, but putting that to the side... my logic, and my brain that majority of the population can't use, is making my emotions upset because I feel like I'm just wasting my precious time doing wasteful tasks and even wasteful time giving a shit about it. Sometimes I think my life would've been easier if I was a brainless marionette of society and did what I was told to do so... well I'm not, sucks to be me.

I mean MOST famous artists are wacks. SERIOUS wacks that has been into jail, did serious brain damage with drugs, or mentally insane unless you're GOD. I'm talking about the classics makers. I'm talking about world famous people. Now art and design is more like a business than creative craftsmen. Seriously I want WW3 real fast to better EVERYONE'S lives.

But putting long explanation to the side, I'm having serious stomach problems due to the constant stress of not wanting to attend school and want to drool out creativity, but I NEED to attend to look prettier to society and make my grandpa happy, and get that worthy worthless piece of paper called a degree. I'm going to be in the hospital yet again for making my ulcer worse. I so shouldn't have these problems if I actually went to a science school... but art is my only way... GAH. I shall rant more later.




Hope you had fun reading???

Catching Up on a LOT of Thingz...  
[DOODLE DUMPING YET AGAIN]


First and the second one is from Verardi Famiglia. Left is Don and right is Vince. The actual Verardi family tree is symbolized with the apple for the knowledge, stepping out of the boundaries, gaining more knowledge, and Don is a LOT more sympathetic to the rest of the famiglia so I wanted to put the affection part of the Adam & Eve story. Italy has a huge history of the Christian religion so i thought that was a neat easter egg. Anywayz the second day I was in Canada, I had a nice Turkish breakfast and there were pieces of pomegranate seeds in this fruit salad thing, and I was spitting out the seeds after sucking out the juice and the people that served me this beautiful free food, thought I was weird but apparently more people chew and eat the seed than I thought. That explains the pomegranate cheeze cake I saw in the Whole Foods Mart. SO, Don chews and Vince spits. I dunno why.

The third one is (insert name of secret character of mine here) fixed in a box. The idea came up because well, my standard 200x200 pixel boxes so I thought what if I squish a person into a box... and (insert name of [abridged]) is forced into a Apeture Science Weighted Storage Cube. He's happy because it's the Apeture Science Weighted Companion Cube. He's with the companion cube, probably for life, the rest of his few seconds of life... HEEEEEE HEEEEE HEE HEEEEEEEE

[SO I SLACKED OFF ON UPDATING, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?!]
I don't really have much to say. Yet. So I leave you with these doodles. Oh Canada trip on the day home went well.  The school so far is kinda boring, and still annoying, so that haven't changed. I'm working SLOWLY but surely on my artwork ambitions so I'm quite busy too. Yay. I need a new scanner.

Reprot from CANADA ver. 2.1  
So I'm not dead. The road's were beautiful so I had no problem getting to my destination except for google telling the wrong road to take so I had to ask the poor random guy bumped into at the gas station to explain where I should go. Why? Because the gas station ppl had no clue around that area. Damn idiots. Don't work in a gas station unless you have your city map in your head :<

I went to a Vietnamese, Thai restaurant for dinner. It was good, but gah. The weird spiced they used really confused my stomach. Like I dunno if I'm full or not because of this weird taste that leaves behind. It seems like the aroma of the strong herbs and spices filled up a good portion of my stomach. No WONDER their people are small and SUPER thin. OMG some of the waiters were toothpicks!

But it was a very... interesting experience. I shall return tomorrow evening-ish so I will update then with Salvatore.


Luv you all and hope you all enjoy your weekend :D

If I complain about my grades for this class after I get my grades, anyone who read this has full permission to give me a lecture on time management. (I even made this new Icon. LOVE MR.DESPAIR!!!!!!)

[WINTER ROADS AND THE ISSUE OF ACARDI]
The roads were traffic hell. The freeway was absolutely covered in snow, making it VERY difficult where the hell I'm driving. Even on the express way where I just followed the car in front of me and try to maintain normal distance away from the cars around me. When no cars are around... well chances are I was totally off. Anyway I semi-slipped (the slips you could feel with your steering wheel but doesn't feel like it's slipping) 5 times, and medium slipped (where you had control over the car but the car wants to go wild) 3 times, and I slipped (when you loose most or all control of car) once. No I didn't get into any accidents due to lack of traffic and I only skidded into a gas station. After I was finally home my legs were shaking from nervousness. Seriously Acardi... WHY MUST YOU BE REAR WHEELED?!
Also I have learned that 3 door system is crappy at times. It's cold and it takes out the warm air while it's wide open for the 3rd door to open and close; and when there's snow on the door, the snow flies in the front seat 'cause it's wide open for it.

33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
Define romance. I believe in true love, but fuck romance if you're talking about relationships. You'll just be disappointed in life if you care about fake moods. That's why pr0n exist.

35) Do you believe in God?
God = Time. Or I also sometimes think God = Universe. Most times I think God = Creation of humans for psychological support.

36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Go right on ahead.

Introduction of a Japanese Masterpiece  
[INTRODUCING YOU GEGEGE TO KITAROU]
Yes it's super hard to pronounce and don't ask me what the "gegege" stands for, but it's a beautifully loved anime that's been around since the 50's or the 60's. It's about a ghost like human boy and he' the last f his kind, using his demonic powers saves the humans from ghosts and monsters that lurk around this earth. He's nice to everyone, and just a REALLY nice kid. The writer/artist (I think he's dead, if not REALLY old) and all his monsters are derived from folklores and ancient japanese monster stories some of them are made up, most of them are from old tales that's been re-told for generations. I think it shows japanese traditions, history, and it's just enjoyment to the max to think if these monsters actually do exist... ah the life would be much fun.

[INFLUENCED BY MEAGAN...]

The main character, Kitarou for the 00's 5th series (the very modernized version) is voiced by the same person that did Alyssina from KKM (however you spell her name) She tries to make Kitaro sound spooky and... kinda failed but it matches. I es happy.

HELLO 13TH OF THE MONTH  
[IT'S A TRADITION!]
I shall update as much as possible. That doesn't happen very often more than sometimes but I shall never forget to update on the 13th. Viva numero 13!!

[DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS]

All of you wondered where was I since I got back from Ohayocon, now you know. I was sick with a 101 degrees fever. I had 104 before so it wasn't as bad as the worst. I had a fever during the last day as well. I drove back home dizzy. Seriously I chose to drive when my heath is at critical moments. Long story short, I was down for 3 days straight, laying in bed the entire time except for the few times I got up for ice and pee. Pathetic. But managed to eat a lot so that was probably good. I managed to not puke until the 4th day when I was feeling better. Half of half a sub from sub way went to waste. Damn subway sounds GOOD right now... 'nywayz I'm still coughing and having a runny nose like none other, but I'm doing good :)

[SCHOOL IS A BI*TCH]
Indeed it is. I would've been blabbering on for forever about how my scedule/finantial aid screw ups for my school if they haven't called be a bit earlier today saying everything SHOULD be fine if I wake up around 8:00 (death) on Monday morning to clear things up. There's a guy named Dave at that school working as admissions representitive, meaning his job is to take care of new students trying to get into IADT, but he does SO much more than that while other department people say "oh I'm not that department, can't do anything". Gah things are looking better just because of this guy. Thank you Dave, you'll forever be remembered in my life.

[LIFE SO FAR]
Trying to draw though I had such long break away from it (4 days of not drawing rarely happens) my hand's not fully back into...shape? So it'll take me a bit to get back to my projects and artworks. I have huge commission projects coming up! Can't wait to work on them!!

[OURAN GOODNESS]
Downloaded and read the recent japanese issues of LaLa, the magazine with Ouran Highschool on it. OMG HARUHI'S CUTENESS AND TAMAKI... YOU GET BETTER AND BETTER AS A PERSON I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

[MY FIRST POST OF 2008]  
[TEH NEW YEAR]
Yes it's the glory of 2008. Happy New Year peoplez!!

I'm finally feeling better since I'm doing an all-nighter and for some reason that's making me feel better... WEIRD. But anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this first day of the year. Me, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE THE ORANGE BOX THAT I FINALLY MADE MY SELF ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY IT DOESN'T WORK MOSTLY BECAUSE OF CHRIS' FAULT. And as you can all see from my caps letters, I'm fuckin PISSED because I should of tried it out on my computer before doing anything with it because hell it's MY GAME THAT I PAID. Now I need to wait yet again, to play PORTAL that I'm like crazed fan of now. If Chris talking anything about how that game kicked ass YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE NEAR ME. After I get to install the whole orange box on my CD, then, and only then, I shall calm down.

But 2007 in a bitter dull head ace and liver getting sick of me taking so much drugs lately. So I hope 2008 is more... illness free for me.

[DILEMMAS]

Work or School. It's a HUGE issue for me. No it's not like I can work for 5 hours per day and be done with it because I'm an artist. And I'm sure projects can't be prolonged anymore and people WILL cancel their commissions if I was too slow due to school and what not. Besides it's a start up of my business, I NEED time luxury to fully indulge in advancing in my skills, get enough good reputation so I can work and go to school at the same time. Obviously the adults will think finishing off school and fuck off in my business until then, but GREAT offers came to me so much sooner than I thought and that is absolutely NOT good to balance out.

It's been bugging me so long, and all I need is another semester off... SHOULD I SHOULD I NOT???

[RESOLUTION]
There is SO much to do anyway so I don't really even want to list them all out. All I want to do is improve even more with my programming and art skillz, and hope to see a great progress in my career. That's ALL I ask for. Oh and cleaning my room 'cause apparently to majority of the people's population I got overboard with my mess... so gotta do that asap. oh and no procrastination. That's like my life resolution.

[IN THE END]
Meagan (possibly Chris if we can settle the above issue asap. YOU DON'T MESS WITH ME AND GAMES) I need help on Ohayocon stuffs and my first venting of the year with LOTZ of personal issues I'm having lately so I very VERY hope we could meet up on the 2nd (tomorrow) so I can run down the downhill of 2008 smoothly. My first favor I'm asking.

I CURSE YOU SNOW FOR ONCE!! (Canada Report #2 & #3)  
SO, after all this time you betrayed me, snow. I worship you and I feel all kinds of happiness when I see you and your white fuffy-ness... and you force me to stay up here longer than I wanted.

forecast: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/video/
written detail: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/index.php?product=alerts&region=wwcaon0014

I was so hoping go back home tonight and BAM this happens. Why? Because the universe hates meeeee.

[Report #3]

The above report is very short because my migraine started up again while I was typing it. It's only a head ace now so I'm functional thus I'm typing this. Hello peoplez!!

Anywayz today was a very uneventful day indeed. I was dead from migraines most of the time but I did get to reflect on my thoughts again while I was lying down. I'm having hard time sleeping comfortably so yea. Not the bestest weekend. I got to miss animeclub where I can hang out with friends only once in a while.

There's LOTZ of snow out side. It's the reason why I couldn't go home earlier but man I can't hate snow. I LOVE it. I get to put them in zip lock bags and use it to cool my head, and it was fun. YAY FOR SNOW!!

My mother has been quieter than I expected so things are going fine. I got into a fight with my sister and that's about it.

*sigh* Can't wait to home!!!!!
