Oh hi there, summer.

Journal Entry: Wed May 18, 2011, 1:21 PM


So yeah, I've been on summer break since monday evening. Whoopee. :XD: I haven't gotten much of a chance to do much here lately, though, because I've been really busy working on one commission in particular-- I've been working on it constantly since the 14th, and I'm only a little over halfway done. Oh well, it's going to look FREAKING AWESOME when it's finished. ;P

Plans for the future


I might take a break in commissions when the weather becomes a little more desirable to work with charcoals outdoors, though-- it's been kind of drizzly here lately, so I've been a little paranoid about working outside. :T

Or I might take a break to finally start the digital work for Post-Mortem (Thaxter and Grimm's comic) that I've been meaning to work on for a while. If I do the latter, I'll probably end up putting it on the 'Stream, with full commentary and whatnot. When was the last time I did a Livestream with full commentary? I think it might've been for the 50K kiriban picture I did for ~KScarlet a while back; I'm not sure.

I also want to do an Amnesia playthrough with my brother, but we're still not sure about how that's going to work out. Most likely, we'll just end up downloading Procaster on his computer so we can 'stream that, since his computer has a quad-core processor or something. I don't know; I'm fairly computer-illiterate when it comes to hardware and specs and whatnot.

At any rate, we'll have to figure out if we can both provide commentary at the same time on the same computer, which might actually work since I own a headset with a microphone jack, and he owns a headset with a USB jack. If not, I'll probably set up a link to my computer through Skype or something, so that will work, too. Though it would be really awesome if we can both provide commentary in the same room, since it seems a little wasteful to have two computers set up to complete one task. :I

Stuff you probably don't care about


I tried to make instant noodles for lunch today, but there was a little plastic packet full of seasoning oil hidden UNDER the noodles, so I didn't see it before I stuck the whole thing in the microwave and zapped it. It surfaced after I had eaten a mouthful of noodles, though. I'm not sure if any plastic had melted in my would-be lunch, but it tasted kinda funny anyway so I just dumped the whole thing to be safe.

What else... I've gotten into the habit of listening to my high school history teacher's podcast while working, but I can only do that for so long until I run out of episodes to listen to, and he hasn't posted any new episodes since March. Baawwww. Oh well.

I think I ran out of crap to talk about, so I'll just go ahead and say:



medli20 awaaaaaaayy!! *whoosh*

It is for at least some of us, lol. I've got some friends who are still taking their finals and whatnot, so the date at which we're released varies quite a bit.

Hahaha, that's awesome! XD

That does sound like a pretty good idea; I'll try to host mine on either Thursday or Friday so they won't overlap. ;P

aww well thank you but just do what ever is best for you :hug:

I'll try to host it in the evening in terms of EST I know the timezone's different in CA so I don't want to host it to early like I've done in the past ^^;

oh shit I just remembered the last sandwich show is going to be on during the weekend; granted I've never seen one of their shows but since some of the religious folk think the worlds going to end I figured I'd tune in

I've just got tomorrow and Tuesday left, and then the semester's over for me. I've actually been more stressed out than I thought I was, so summer will be a welcome relief :|

Oooh, I'd love to see you do an LP of Amnesia. I've been curious about that game for a while now, but I'm too much of a wuss to play it myself, lol. Not to mention I don't have money to be spending on games right now anyways >__>; I hope you can make that work, because that would be awesome :la:

And that seasoning packet was ninja. Srsly though, I hate it when you take a bite of something, find a problem with it, and then have to toss it. Totally reminds me of this one time I was in high school when I found a sandwich in the fridge and decided to eat it...and found mold growing on it after the first couple of bites. Fortunately, I didn't eat any of the mold, or my mold allergy would've given me hell.

Hang in there! You should totally play "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor when you're doing stuff that's especially tough-- it won't make your work very much easier, but I've found that it gives me a huge boost in motivation, because I can pretend I'm in a training montage or something. xD Who knows-- it might work for you, too ;P

Haha, I'm afraid that Amnesia LPs are a bit overdone, but I think it'll still be fun to do anyway. xD If you ever want to get a sample of the gameplay yourself, though, I'm pretty sure there's a free trial version available on Steam. It's pretty short, but it gets you through some of the good parts of the first portion of the game. :3

Oh my goodness, that would've been awful! It's a good thing you noticed the mold when you did. DDD:

Pff, Kage keeps singing "You're the best Around" to me to cheer me up :XD: I should tell him to add "Eye of the Tiger" to his playlist, lol.

Really? Maybe I'll try that when I get my new laptop, then. And scare myself senseless :XD:
