Why do I tend to go to espn.com when I HATE the site. Why? Because of the autoplay embedded video. Cnnsi.com is SO much better.

I have been steriods without sleeping meds for about 4 days. So I will post the journey of that period in the time that follows.
Before my Ambien kicks in  I want to post two images I did:
The first is a book, the second a book with a FBM texture on it.


I was shocked at the FBM  texture result. It looks just STELLAR.
The next one is stupl

Ok, Lamest looking Anime character ever goes to Nnorita of Bleach. First of all his outfit is a freaken spoon. That alone gives him the edge over most characters. The eyepatch, funky shoes, and Madd Hatter teeth just seal the deal. I am waiting to the see spork themed character next. Seriously, I would not doubt it. Character designer gone awry.

.

I chose nothing. I decided after I looked through the stripped down skill tree that this was no longer my favorite solo class. I played a little of my hunter and thankfully the class retained most of its charm. It also helps that he is the highest level character I have(40ish) so it will be a quicker to get my death knight(should I want it)

I just got back from Albertsons and there were two people really getting it on in the parking lot with two tweens dancing around. It was a bit strange and it may have a hint of secret forbidden love. I wanted to yell "Show some tongue!" or "Yeah! Get it on!" but I tactfully refrained.

I picked this up on Saturday at Target on a whim. I played it yesterday and what a load of garbage. Also, you know its a bad game when they give you a slew of achievements just for playing 5 minutes.

The good news I had a relatively good amount of energy today. I managed to get a few things done though nothing of the creative sort.

I rediscovered OkCupid thanks to AB(Thanks!). I was thinking about getting onto eharmony again but I forgot about OkCupid for some reason(Free FTW).

I may doing something creative later tonight but I have a feeling it won't happen. My creative slump needs to end soon!

I went outside on a weekend for once in a blue moon. I honestly don't go out much anymore. I was planning to go see Wall E and then maybe go to the Fox and Hound for drinks. I went and saw Wall E and for the most part it was good. It was a little too far fetched and overreaching in places but it had a good general theme. After the movie I decided to go home because I was tired and I knew if I drank anything it would keep me awake and possibly prevent me from going to work on Monday as an result.

I am in a very contemplative mood tonight. Maybe its because of what happened yesterday at work. I kinda lost it a bit. I was trying to focus on doing a good deal of work and just could not concentrate so I left early. I am not sure what I am going to do as an result. This hasn't been the first time either which makes me more contemplative. I really would like to do something different but I am not sure what else I am capable of doing that is worth anything other than programming. I really need to move up north somewhere b/c the heat and Multiple Sclerosis do not mix AT ALL.

My Mom and my brother Ryan arrived at my house just a while ago and my Mom brought her digital camera. I pulled all the photos and two of them were accidental videos. One of which had Caesar in it :D.

I just took some slightly old simply sleep in hopes to well... fall asleep. I ended not removing anybody despite intial strong feelings to do so. As Richard Pryor said: MS stands for more shit. The hardest part of the disease to deal with is definitely the mood swings. Its like a compressed rollercoaster: Bipolar on Rails with a Jet Engine attached going Mach 5(and I am probably being kind).

My mood climate has definitely changed and I am afraid its not for the better. Oh,  and for my random thought: I love my Mac even though I have trouble using Modo(keyboard issues) and Cinema 4D(same).

I am in an angry mood at the moment. I can't sleep...taking simply sleep right now. Also I am thinking about removing some people from Facebook...HS friends....nah...a little too extreme. I am gonna remove one b/c it brings up bad memories/feelings. Ok, confession time(funny), I think I am an atheist. Hell, some part of me wants to believe there is a god but my analytical side and emotional side says no.  This is the mood I am in at the moment. In summation, MS causes one hell of an emotional rollercoaster and I am in the middle of the damn thing. Hoping it will at least slow down.

Ok, The image below is fake. Here is why: The "skin" on the bottom back is WAY too reflective and shiny to be real. This looks like a CG render to me

So I started drawing digitally again thanks in part to my Mac and Painter X. I am real happy about it. I was had trouble doing this on my PC maybe its the location of it but I have trouble being creative.

Here it is(by no means finished):

Abby Wombach broke her leg. This is huge blow for the US side. She is one of the best female strikers in the world. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/soccer/news?slug=ap-soc-brazil-unitedstates&prov=ap&type=lgns

I hope for a speedy and full recovery.

The only good news that came out of Nintendo's press conference was the Wii version of Animal Crossing. That is it. The rest is garbage.
Software sales will continue to plummet because they have not addressed their broken online strategy and lack of exciting games for hardcore gamers like myself. Thanks Nintendo! Your weakness finally shows. I hope you right this ship soon because its taking in water.

Another thing, stop glowing about yourselves. Yes the DS is awesome but your latest princess is just a pig in lipstick.

The Microsoft press conference was a mixed bag. It started really well. Fallout 3 looks amazing. I love the ammo cam. It is very well done. I really hope there is a 3rd person view as I tend to get motion sickness with FPS games.

The weakest thing was Fable II's selling point. Co-op mode? That is what makes it unique? It seems incredibly boring to me. Its almost like Molyneux saw that feature in Animal Crossing and said that will be a cool to add.

I look forward to hearing what is coming out for all three game systems.

Also, Softimage announced last week XSI 7. I was super geeked despite having a slightly old version. I like the new approach with ICE that they took. I am *thinking* about upgrading depending on the price they offer. Softimage does not mention upgrade pricing on their site but I hope that its significantly cheaper than full price(3.5k ouch!)

I made a mad dash to Hobby Lobby this afternoon because I was in a creative buying mood. I wanted to do some type of painting.

The idea has been swirling around my brain for a while. I am constantly looking at my art supply catalogs wondering which medium do I want to use/experiment with. On the spur of the moment with the helpdesk phone in hand, I purchased student grade gouache and acrylic sets which I plan to use tommorow(energy willing).

I have been painting digitally off and on for years and I always wanted to try to paint traditionally. I never took any painting classes in high school or college. I did try to take an acrylics class at LSU leisure but the amount of crap I would have to carry to the class warded me off. A paint supply ward +1(scary stuff)

I have the helpdesk phone this four day weekend(woo hoo!...NOT). For that period, I have to stay in the house near a computer so I can fix whatever an ER department needs.

Honestly, I don't really go out much if at all on the weekends anyway so its not that big of deal unless I get a call while I am in a grocery store.

My energy level so far has been fluctuating wildly. I think I have slept more than I have been awake with nausea creeping in from time to time.

On an entertaining note, I watched the whole season of AMC's Mad Men(It was free ON DEMAND from Cox). Overall, its a pretty good show. The fact that I watched all the episodes is an achievement for the show in some small way for them. I don't have many favorite shows at the moment and this may be added to the list. The list being:

Dr. Who
Not Going Out(BBC America, really funny brit comedy)
Hopkins(medical doc on ABC, definitely not for the squemish)
Speedgrapher(Decent Gonzo Anime running on IFC)
Live From Abbey Road(Good Musical showcase show on IFC)
