I don't friends-lock entries, except in very very few unusual circumstances. And I allow anonymous comments, unless people abuse the privilege. I believe in free speech, but this is my little bit of internet space, so if you cross the line, I have no problem deleting comments. I'm more likely to point and laugh though.

My rules:
1. No one will ever be identified by their real names. No matter how mad I am.
2. I will never give what town I live in or used to live in. Nor will I ever divulge anyone else's exact location.
3. You are free to guess, but not here. Email or PM me and I may tell you if you're right or wrong. Maybe.
4. I may lie. Hey, it's the internet.

I take suggestions on what to write and I love feedback.

I've taken off the adult warning, cuz I was tired of seeing it, but Silvercat's Paradise does contain adult concepts including: sex, swearing, slash, and intellectual musings.

Hmmmm

New Silver's Kids - for three days!

Posted on 2009.06.29 at 11:08
Tags:
I realize I totally flaked and I'm attempting to make it up. There'll be a new comic for the next three days, and I'm going to try to get the other seven that I missed made up. I have a few more Up at Silvercat's comics ready and some more scripts, but I'm wondering if I should start up Thunderkitties which has a bunch of comics done, more inked, and a bunch of scripts. So, I'm asking my audience, none of which will probably read this or care.

Poll #1422901
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Should I start up Thunderkitties or continue with Up at Silvercat's a bit longer?

Isn't Technology Supposed to Make Life Easier?

Comment away, y'all.

There's some things I need to do to the site, which I'm going to list here as a reminder to myself: fix the bottom of the front page, add a counter so I can have good stats, update thumbnail image for UAS, remove random 'random stuff!' text from about page, update the archive, make cast pics for the rest of the UAS characters, make some link banners for Silver's Kids in general and UAS in specific, make 'comic thumbnail' for Drunkduck (80x100pixels).

Up at Silvercat's #4

I've done this, but never gotten past the first step.

I realize I haven't posted in quite a while, or at least haven't posted anything but links. I have two posts waiting - one is a bunch of Transmetropolitan scans and the other is about me developing my new logo - but I don't have the energy to upload the pics, fix the formatting, and post it, so they're not going up right now.

School is nearly done. I nearly have a portfolio site. I haven't updated Silver's Kids in two weeks and I feel bad about it.

Mostly I'm tired and I want to semester to be done. I'm not looking forward to cleaning and packing to move out of the dorm. This sounds whinier that I feel - I really just feel tired. Anyway, if you want to make me happy, go leave a comment. =^_^=

Poser Resources

Poser is a 3D program where you can, basically, you get to play with paper dolls. Except they're 3D, fully articulated, you can adjust lighting and scenery, and animate them. So it's nothing like paper dolls at all.

This is mostly free stuff.

I'll fix up the links later.

I'm still alive, but busy.

I've posted my profile up on Soulgeek again and hailed a few guys. If I don't get responses I'll fiddle with OKCupid and whatever other free dating sites I can find.

I've applied for media internships for this summer. They're either in Hollywood or San Francisco and I've said I'll go to either.

I'm on Facebook, PM me if you want to friend me.

At the moment, I'm adding all my bookmarks to here, so forgive me if I spam your friends page.

Wait... what?

It's a cargo ship and it's for Batman comics, of course. It will NOT get out of my head.

Harley Quinn / Batmobile.

I call it Quibble. It exists solely for the name, but I can't stop thinking about it!

Like in No Man's Land, when the Joker sends her off to fight Batman, and then finds her posing on the Batmobile? That could've been the start of it.

And in TAS, where Batman and Harley are looking for Mistah J? And they're in the Batmobile and Bats is like 'don't touch anything'? Oooo, baby.

I have no excuses. I have no control over my brain. But I want someone to write this.

Spring Gala in kimono

Posted on 2009.04.05 at 20:55
Tags: ,
I went to the Spring Gala last night, in kimono. I was wearing an ensemble that I've wanted to wear for YEARS - I got the kimono and the obi on my first trip to Torrance, at least three years ago, probably more. Damn. But since I've only recently learned how to tie the obi, I couldn't.

[geek alert - beware of Japanese]
Photobucket I was worried I was going to be too warm. The underkimono I was planning on wearing had been difficult with me earlier in the week, so I took the collar adjustment off that and sewed it to the only other underkimono I had on me, which was lined. I ended up fine - I probably could've even worn a lined kimono as well (although I wouldn't have, since I wanted to wear my light blue iromuji kimono and the pink obi with the dragons.)

I meant to have a collar cover on the underkimono, but I forgot that you have to iron it before sewing it on and I don't have an iron. So I skipped that. It would've looked cute - the collar I had picked was pink with blue flowers. Oh well.

The obi was a pain to tie, although not as bad as the obi I was messing with earlier in the week (that one was new and very very springy - I think it's related to Tigger. And too long. I couldn't get it to work at all.) But the pink obi was a little short, which I probably why it was in the cheap box at the store in Torrance. I managed to get it to work, after retying it four or five times. It's nice and soft and really pretty. I may convert it into a pre-tied obi so I can use it without all the trouble. But anyway, I managed to get it looking half-way decent and it pretty much stayed up the whole night (I had to fix it once and adjust it a couple of other times). But I checked it in the mirror afterwards and it didn't look too bad. I'm quite proud of myself.

[/geek alert]

Apparently I was born old, cuz I was dismayed by the so-called music which was both too loud and generally crappy, by the so-called dancing which was more-or-less couples humping each other on the dance floor, and by the so-called dresses some of the girls were wearing that were clothes only in the sense that they were made of cloth. Yeesh. And I was cold, in my lined under-kimono and the kimono. I have no idea how these girls weren't freezing since only groin to nipple was covered (I am not even exaggerating) - and some of those dresses had gaps in that.

I looked really nice and I got a lot of compliments, as well as one 'what the fuck are you wearing?' But considering I wasn't freezing to death, and she was in high-heels and and a mini-skirt, who's the sensible one here, hmm?

Anyway, I talked - or shouted anyway - with people I had met. Some of which I can remember their names. =-.-=;* And I met new people - J--** with the anime club that I learned was at a time I could actually attend, D-- who's also an art major and was having a good time being goofy.

The theme was masquerade and some people had fun with it. I saw a couple of cat masks, including on V-- who I would count as I friend if I had talked to her more than twice including last night (her's was especially nice: papier mache and painted in black and gold. Very cute.) There was a guy in a V For Vendetta mask. Cool. There was a group of guys that were having fun being goofy. One of them went out into the inch-deep gazing pond and danced and then they all left.

Naturally enough some people came drunk. Some people came really drunk and ended up looking like idiots. I wish I was surprised.

Lessons for next time: wear earplugs, bring a jacket, don't bring a purse (I can put my ID that I didn't need in my sleeve), bring a camera (which I can also put in my sleeve. I love kimono.)

* for those of you that don't know Japanese style emoticons, that's an embarrassed kitty.

** I don't feel like coming up with pseudonyms for people. So you get their first initial and dashes, all Victorian style.

And since I love the obi, here's some more pictures of it, not on me.
