Lonigan -- Happy early birthday! I'd love to have a Halloween birthday. Mine (and Cap's) is 10 days after, but I feel like it kicks off my birthday celebration!

Oh, and being 30 isn't as bad as you think it will be. In fact, I'm kinda liking it! Don't be depressed!

Welcome Lonigan! Did you find us on Youtube (we have a weirdly HUGE Australian following)? You are one of the first Australians to join the forum and we're glad you're here. :)

Simplecap, did you take video of Kiddo playing? That would be so adorable!

I don't have a video camera. otherwise I'd probably make all kinds of home videos... maybe.

You don't have like...a video mode on a digital camera or anything?

yeah, I could use my digital camera i guess. I just hate the vid quality. it's all grainy and not that great.

Who didn't find HISHE on youtube? =D Best vids on youtube compared to all that other balloni. I tell all my friends to watch HISHE vids, and we end up having a good conversation about them after, of coarse filled with laughs.

It would be nice to see the infamous kiddo in action, no matter how many grains. =)

Australia's cool. I used to design web sites for one of Paul Hester's band there. I used to try to convince them that they should fly me down there for a quick meeting or something.

Just tell them that you have a keg of Fosters and an entire book's worth of jokes making fun of Kiwis, they won't be able to resist inviting you

It hassome awesome hot girl that didn't actually dress up as "slutty version" of whatever her costume is gonna walk up to me and go, "what are you some kind of earless batman?" and I'll have to explain to her no it's a show that is flippin awesome and you probably never heard of it because you and I don't have a single thing in common.

Three hot girls identified me as Rorschach this year. Nice.

ok.  it's after 3AM. after the Twilight HISHE release.  I drank coffee late in the evening because I was play'n some Modern Warfare2... and now... well now it's 3AM *sings*    It's three AM I must be lowwwwnly, I must be lAAAOOOOOOWWnLAAAAAAEEEEEEEheeeeeeY!
ok, back to normal. My point is. It's freakin late and i can't get sleepy AND to make it worse, i have a too-much-caffeine headache. Grrrr. it's irritating. If I take some advil (which is all i have) it's just gonna give me another dose of cafeine and I could easy be awake until sunrise! What do i dooooo??? Well right now I'm lookin around the new forum set up, takin notes.

Last time I stayed up this late I ended up watching all 3 mad max movies. Which put me in a severe mood to go off on how much movies don't have the guts to actually film real stuff anymore. Everything's CG and feels incredibly fake these days. I'm of course comparing the old mad max movies to like the final battle of G.I. Joe. I realize there are plenty of other movies that don't blow millions of dollars on digital effects, but I still want to gripe about the ones that do! :)

By the way I finally watched 2012, and since i just prefaced this rant about how tired i'm getting of digital effects, let me just say 2012 SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUx! sucks! SUCKS! to the infinite!

Gah, my headache just increased. I'm gonna go lay down. Goodnight.

So this weekend I had one of the dumbest accidents with my phone.  If you saw on my twitter post you know that I dropped my phone in one of the most ridiculous places, my own cup of coffee. So I figured I'd give a play by play of how such an unlikely phone dive happens. I was sitting on the couch with my phone in one hand and my coffee mug in the other. I had facebook open on my phone as I was scrolling through the status updates when out of nowhere my phone just fell right out of my hand and dunked itself straight into my mug screen lit up and all. No big stumbling across the room. No someone bumping it out of my hands. It just fell out of my hand less than a foot away from my other hand straight into the coffee. As soon as it happened I froze in disbelief. Did I really just drop my phone into my coffee while trying to use facebook???? Then I snapped out of it and thought "well save the dang thing you idiot!" The phone still lit up while practically totally submerged. I yanked it out of the mug as fast as I could and ran to the kitchen for paper towels. At this point it appeared to be completely unharmed since it was still lit up, the multi touch was still working, so i hoped for the best thinking maybe the phone was going to live. After dabbing up all the coffee that I could I ran it for a test. The phone made calls, but I couldn't hear out of the earpiece. That was to be expected I suppose since the thing fell in earpiece first. The second test showed that I could still make calls if i plugged in the ear piece, but that meant i'd have to keep the ear buds near by until i finally buy a new phone. That seemed like a do-able solution at the time, so I thought, "All is well, and my phone is saved!" Well a few hours went by and i started to notice the phone was acting very different than normal. I had a feeling this wasn't going to last, and sure enough before lunch time the phone wouldn't even boot up after it crashed. I knew I was going to have to buy a new phone before I intended, and that didn't make me happy. But to make it worse, before I got the replacement I noticed something about myself. I noticed how much I am addicted to having a mobile device constantly at my fingertips. While eating lunch I had such an urge to check my apps and stuff just for the sake of using them, and I felt crippled without it. That's not a good thing people. There used to be a time when I didn't have that way of life, and now I'm sitting at lunch thinking "man I want to check twitter but I can't! gah! if I just could tap the buttons and get my fix." sheesh, pathetic huh. So I am completely addicted, as I'm sure many of you people are as well. I'm thinking it might be a good time to start putting the device down more often and try to not be such an iphone junkie. Any suggestions? So that's my story... and it's after 3am now.  I really didn't mean to stay up this late... yikes.  looks like I'll be working late tomorrow :)  NIGHT!

So the other day I was drivin in my car and I OH MAN IT'S NOT LATE AT NIGHT! IT'S ONLY 1:22PM!!!!!  *runs off to eat lunch*

Oh there is no end to that story :) I was just goofin around. But one thing I do feel the need to say tonight is this:
whoever made this commercial....needs to be punched in the burgers!

I am so sick of seeing this crap everynight before I fall asleep. It plays every night here on adult swim and it makes me want to shoot the television. Everytime I see it I keep waiting for some random person to pop up after the second $2.99 line and yell "NOBODY DOES THIS!" and then punch them both in the face. Like an old librarian or something. That would be all kinds of enjoyable. but it never happens. Don't get me wrong, I love Wendy's (I'm actually hungry now the more i think of it) I just hate seeing this god-aweful commercial EVERY NIGHT! Seriously, i think this is an old superbowl ad. Why do fast food places have to try to make clever "funny" ads anyway? Taco Bell is the worst at this. They play the same ad all day long for like 3 months and then replace it with a new equally awful commercial over, and over.... and OVER.

Do people really sit at home and go "that commercial had humor... I'm gonna buy some of their food right now because not only am I hungry, BUT I'm also entertained by their wit!" Whatev...

So anyway, I wouldn't be sad if that commercial got taken to commercial hades. Like right now.

Goodnight!

well since my last post was a bit grouchy and angry I thought i'd break it up in the middle of the day before I dive into my artwork to-do list.  So yesterday I heard this scuffling sound on my roof.  The sound I usually hear when one of the nasty arrogant squirrels is running around. But this time it was much heavier and more like a wrestling match. Then i start hearing this loud chirping sound like something is being attacked and I hear the noises move down to the side of the house. I already know what happened. One of the evil cats (that also thinks it lives on top of my house) just killed a squirrel. So I went outside to get the cat to leave when I see this other squirrel chirping really loud and puffing itself up at me basically telling me to stay back because it wanted to be a hero for it's injured squirrel friend. Well I went around the house behind my AC unit and there was the evil black cat standing over a now dead squirrel. The cat ran away because by now it has learned that if I'm around that it's time to go. Meanwhile this other squirrel is chirping and shaking it's tail at me as if it's going to come after me if I go near it's friend. I felt bad for the thing. Normally I hate these squirrels, and I'll pop'm in the butt with an air-soft pellet gun to keep'm from digging into my attic again, or worse get eaten by kiddo. but this was unavoidable since I have no control over the roaming feline clan. So I left it alone (plus I didnt' feel like taking care of a dead squirrel just yet)

So Later in the day when I got back from Avatar I went back to the AC unit to take care of it and guess what I find. The squirrel is completely gone, but the tail is laying there all by itself. Like a murderers calling card. That nasty cat came back for it's kill and left the tail behind! gross.

My only hope is that cat carried the dead squirrel off to whoever "owns" the thing's house and dropped it on their doorstep as a victory trophy. Otherwise I fear i'm going to figure out (smell) where it's rotting around my yard real soon.

Sorry that's kind a gross story, but that's what's happening around here :)
