*Secret Police should use luger pistols. So, I need to figure out wtf they look like.

*Watch video serials from late 30s/early 40s for ideas on visuals. I already watched most of the 1943 Batman serial, which provided crap tons of inspiration. And the Robin in that serial is possibly the coolest character ever. Something... I can't imagine I'm actually saying. But man, that kid is awesome.

He also recommended Don Winslow of the Navy. And we have the DVDs of Flash Gordon.

*Today, he saw I had my Cherry Project manga book sitting out on the table. I was looking at it just for a little bit of visual reference for actual manga style. It's the only manga I have left. (Which sounds like the rest of my manga books died in a horrific accident or something. It's ALMOST true.

See, last year when I was getting rid of a bunch of crap, I decided to sell all my manga because it had a habit of making me super emo in the past.)

He said that my cartooning style is strong enough on its own that I shouldn't worry TOO much about making it look like professional manga. And what he meant by that was not to be derivative. Not to be all "OH MY GOD I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN QUICK! GRAB A BOOK SO I CAN JUST COPY DIRECTLY OUT OF IT".

He also suggested that I leave out the giant robots. Which, oh, man, come on! It wouldn't be Speed Gibson without giant robots!

But, seriously, I was planning on having the Octopus's wheelchair be all super powered mecha armored craziness. But, you know, whatever. As if I could even draw something like that.

THANKS A FUCKING LOT. Good mood? Officially ruined.

I understand all too well that animal abuse and neglect is a serious problem. I understand that animal abuse is horrible. I UNDERSTAND THIS SHIT ALREADY. I give money to animal charities whenever I can afford to. I put out cat food for strays every damn day. Every cat I have now started out as a poor homeless stray, and I love them more than I love myself. So do I really need to be bombarded with these fucking images when I just want to have some random movie on in the background?!

It's just... it hasn't even been a month now since my favorite cat, Mr. Zamir, died. And every time I see those commercials, I think of him, and how much pain he was in before he died. The one cat in the commercial looks exactly like him, except white. And then we have the one cat with the text, "Will I die today?". GEE, THAT DOESN'T BRING UP PAINFUL MEMORIES OR ANYTHING.

So, thanks, you guys. I wasn't already upset. I wasn't already reminded of him constantly. So, good thing you came along with your damn commercial.


(This is mostly an emotional rant. Obviously these commercials do a lot of good, and it's an important message. But it pisses me off just the same.)

"Currently in the process" meaning, I've been trying, with varying degrees of success, to distract myself with work, other movies/videos/games, and other stuff so as not to completely lose my mind and go 100% looney over the show.

I should just let go and run with it, except... that wouldn't be a good financial decision at this point.

Okay, going to go try and play some Sims 2 Castaway for the DS. Wow. By the way, I have a DS now. I haven't updated this thing since December.

Seriously, I haven't drawn ANYTHING that wasn't on Graffiti on Facebook. Ugh.

But I'm making money! I'm able to buy SO much stuff! So... if I can't draw as much, it's worth it.

Also, all of Setto-mama and Rei's kids have all passed away now. I'm on a whole new generation of mice. A little orange girl who looks like a loaf of bread, a little brown girl who looks like a tabby, and a little black girl who looks like... a black mouse.

*PRI!!!

*I lost interest in the characters/story
*Because I was being held back by crappy backstory
*Based on a series I've never seen
*And know nothing about
*And stupidly chose to base the technology and characters on

*It just plain sucks

And, so, last night, I got this idea to, very simply, start over from scratch; eliminating all mentions of Ultraman, all the unfortunate Sue-ish-ness in the characters (MIKONO), and all the rough edges that I felt like I had to work around (MIKONO). I would also reassign the character relationships and give Sairai a bigger role and more to do. I think he and Mikono (MIKONO) together would make better main characters than Mikono alone did. They could play off each other nicely, share the spotlight, and have some chemistry, which would be awesome, because he'll still be married. LOLZ.

Also, giving Mikono less focus? THE KEY TO GOODNESS. (MIKONO

I also think putting Kakei and Masami in the background a little more would be good. And making Masami more of a sadistic lunatic=SUPER GOOD.

I planned out part of the first "chapter" last night. It would start out with Mikono and Sairai in quarantine together; suffering from a strange illness. Neither of them knows the other, nor do they remember who they are.

They are visited frequently by two creepy scientists, Masami and Kakei. Mikono tells Sairai that "the lady" is scary and will torture them, but "the guy" might be convinced to let them go.

And, eventually, they remember who they are and what happened. And stuff.

Red is definitely Marco. I'm thinking Pink should be named Vladimir.

And the other night, I got the idea that perhaps each Ranger should be able to take on Ranger forms based on various animals, not just their patron animals. (I thought of Peggy as a doe.)

We'll see!

The process in which overexposure to and over-enthusiasm for a certain work of fiction can cause physical illness.

These symptoms (by my experience) include but are not limited to:


* Increased heart and breathing rate, sometimes to the point where the patient experiences shortness of breath even while sitting perfectly still, brought on by thoughts of or participation in fandom.



* Restlessness/jitters/inability to remain still or quiet when thinking about/participating in said fandom.



* A conscious or unconscious change in daily routine as a result of overexposure to fandom.

Examples include:

*Staying up later or awakening earlier than usual, either in order to participate in fandom activities, or because thoughts of fandom are preventing sleep
*Loss of appetite
*Avoidance of activities which do not directly correspond to said fandom; or a tendency to attribute fandom qualities into otherwise unsimilar situations.



* Vivid, highly emotionally intense dreams about the fandom which remain with the patient hours after awakening. Responses to these dreams can either be positive or negative, and can include the aforementioned sleep disturbances, increased heart and breathing rate, and nausea depending on the intensity of the dream.



* Light-headedness, dizziness, lapsing into a "dreamy" state as a result of pleasurable thoughts of fandom.



* Physical and emotional symptoms of profound longing when exposure to fandom is unavailable, almost akin to drug withdrawal.



* Crying for seemingly no reason.



* Laughing for seemingly no reason.



* Nausea and vomiting (either productive or dry).



* Unexplained aches and pains.




Fandom Sickness is very similar to clinical depression in its symptomology and the similar chemical reactions it produces, and can be mistaken for depression if not coupled with an acknowledged fandom obsession.

It is also very similar to the process of infatuation; in many cases, the patient's obsession will center on one or more characters to whom the patient feels a distinct attraction. This can also cause feelings of anger, frustration and helplessness when said patient realizes the character can never reciprocate their intense feelings.

In addition, the condition is not unlike the process that comes about from recreational drug use. The sharp, dire need for exposure to the fandom source ("jonesing"), the euphoria which comes from exposure, and the following "crash" have all been known to take place when dealing with fandom sickness.

"Overexposure" and "overenthusiasm" vary from patient to patient. For some, reading a single chapter, watching a single episode or listening to half an album can cause symptoms. For others, "marathons" of said fandom source can easily be tolerated and enjoyed for hours, even days, before symptoms occur.

Depending on the severity of the symptoms, the patient may choose to discontinue their affiliation with the fandom. This can be a difficult process, but a wise decision if Fandom Sickness is badly interfering with their everyday life.

The patient may also feel intense anxiety prior to exposure to the fandom source. This emotion may be masked by enthusiasm, a pleasant feeling, but in some, it comes across as dread and fear. There is usually no clear source for this feeling, though if an expected plot advancement is on the horizon, the patient may fear that something they won't like may take place in the fandom source.

But it can also occur when the patient is preparing to view or read something to which they have already been exposed, sometimes numerous times. Sometimes, there may be absolutely no reason for the feelings, aside from fear of the onset of Fandom Sickness or withdrawal symptoms.

At present, there is no known cure for Fandom Sickness. However, continuous, controlled exposure to the fandom seems to have a desensitizing effect, and after several months, the majority of the FS symptoms should all but vanish.

The only other solution is, as previously stated, leaving the fandom, or severely limiting the patient's exposure. Be warned, however, that a sudden reintegration back into fandom can cause symptoms as intense, if not more so, than the patient's initial experiences.

-Peggy and red (tentatively named Marco Harris) have never met before, but they work next door to each other. Peggy works in laundromat owned by older sister, while Marco is a bartender who works for a stodgy old bastard.

-Sacred scrolls; each ranger was given half a scroll at their birth, and the second half was delivered in their 20s. Full scroll turns into transformation device.

-Peggy and Marco are serious about this, they want to know what the source of the scrolls is and what they do. They are trying to figure this out in Marco's bar, and rowdy drunkard Brett is causing trouble.

-They find out that Brett has one too, and all three of them are needed for the powers to take effect. Marco is the only one who dares to morph, but his henshin is so intense and painful that Brett runs like hell, and Peggy is also too afraid to transform.

-Eventually, they all do. Possibly Peggy has to save Brett, but he's too egomaniacal to thank her, but the next day, a bouquet of yellow flowers appears at the laundromat.

-Peggy has two older sisters, Ronda and Reina. Ronda is an old maid who is about 28 and maybe a little dim, but generally a good person, Reina is a scorching hot 26 year old babe and entrepeneur who already owns the laundromat and is planning on buying a second, and Peggy is 22. Peggy is basically only working for Reina because of some event that took place in her childhood in which she "owes" Reina for something. She is very intimidated by Reina and can't stand up to her. Marco and Brett think Reina is hot as all get out.

-At some point, Talia and her male companion go into the laundromat to check the team out. Talia and whatever his name is establish that they are not going to join up with the first three because this would be bad.

-At a later point, Talia has to save Peggy from some monster, and they both detransform and discover each others' identities. Peggy wants Talia to join the team, Talia is insistent that she can't.

Destiny and all kinds of crap.

That's pretty much all I have so far. The laundromat and the bar are basically their bases of operation.

Brett is either a lawyer or a manager of a store. Either way, he doesn't accomplish much.

And I had some idea in which they all somehow end up at the apocalypse. I dunno.

Green Ocelot- Margaret "Peggy" Calvert
Yellow Tiger- Brett Sanderson
Blue Lynx- Talia Laris

(Of course, Talia Laris is named after Talia Shire. Just because... I like her name. And I was almost interested enough to watch all of Rocky, but not quite.)

Red Lion and Pink Fox still need names. (LOL, yep, Pink is going to be a fox. Thank Leila Winters for that. ;D)

Anyway, a bit of breaking news:

I think I've settled on a name for my green ocelot kitty ranger gal. For awhile, I was thinking Callie, which is pretty cute and fits her well. I thought it could be an abbreviation of her last name, which I decided is Calvert.

However, then I got to wondering what her first name would be, and I eventually came up with Peggy. Peggy Calvert.

But, dude, PEGGY is a nickname. Why does she need two nicknames?

And I think I may stick with Peggy, just because I really want to try to bring sexy back for that name. Look at Peggy Lee for crying out loud. Sultriness incarnate, but that name is always associated with older ladies and dowdiness. When I hear Peggy, I think of an unkempt secretary or something. So I'm out to change that, now. (For me, anyway)

And I'm really getting obsessed with old timey names. Mary, Rose, Virginia, Antonia, Sue, names that you can imagine your grandmother being named, applied to youngish females in the 21st century.

I used to be so obsessed with OMGUNIQUE names, but I find that giving someone a simple name is also a good thing; the name doesn't overshadow the character. If you give a girl a name like, I don't know, Linna-MacKenzie Sandstorm Violet Flyingstar-Reynolds (or Steven Kaosettes XD), she better be damned interesting. DAMNED interesting.

If I were to revive OverexpoCo for PRI!!!, I'd have to replace Kasumi yet again, because Elaine is not in the series (and probably won't be, because I don't even like her that much.)

I think probably the only person who could take her place would be Denara. Seeing as how none of the characters are actual PR (which eliminates Trini) and Denara is from the same planet as Lacipo and they have their little association anyway.

LOL. Yeah, just... FYI, there.

I have decided to name this lovely new darling "Craig Valeris", as an homage to two "characters" I've had in the past with that name:

-A character I played in a RL RP game I played with Leila Winters when we were 12 and 13. It took place in a talk radio station and this guy, Craig Valeris, was the "second in command" of the radio station. (I chose it because Craig is my favorite male name and Valeris was the name of the scheming Vulcan Lieutenant in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.)

-My character Travis Baker introduced himself as "Craig Valeris" to women because he thought it sounded cool.

So, basically, it's an homage to and homage to an homage to Star Trek, indirectly. Long Live Craig Valeris!

...Oh, yeah, how 'bout some specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E4300 (2MB L2 Cache,1.8GHz,800FSB),
XPS 410 Intel? Core? 2 Duo Processor E4300 (2MB L2 Cache,1.8GHz,800FSB)

I don't know what the hell that was, either.

My birthday is coming up. It's on a Wednesday this year, isn't that nice?

I'm working on a poster. It'll be done when I feel like finishing it. Hopefully when it's complete, one certain aspect of it won't look quite so yellow and out of place.

Art-wise, I have GIVEN UP on my scanner, and that's really too bad because I've drawn two big PRI!!! posters, and have a lot of pretty awesome shit in my new sketchbook (which, incidentally, contains the WORST paper I've ever used. Every eraser I use leaves huge black marks and wears through the paper. It's truly hideous).

Well, one effing day, I'll scan the two posters. One of them is watercolor, and I did a lot of shit I've never done before with it; the other one looks almost exactly like the one I did in May, except the Power Team are wearing their Thunder uniforms (sans helmets, and I changed the design yet again).

AND, guess what? Setto-chan HAD BABIES. On Christmas. Their eyes aren't open yet, and none of them have hair, but you can see their patterns right on their skin. Some of them are pink with dark spots (like Setto-chan, who's white with black spots), some of them are dark all over (like Rei-kun, who's brown) and some of them are practically black, so I think I'll actually have some black mice! So cute.

And I bet they'll be impossible to tell apart. They're so loud and squeaky, too. Good lord, are they loud and squeaky.

I sprained my back on Christmas, and it's still very sore. I feel like some decrepit 100 year old, I can't even walk without pain in my back and my knee, from contorting myself to avoid putting pressure on the painful area. I KNOW, WHAT? It's my back, I can't figure it out, either.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?!?

Well, for a "girl", she's sure got some EXTRA PARTS.

Yeah, Rei's got 'nads. Which leads me to believe that I've been had. But don't worry, it's not so bad. Rei's a plucky lad.

AND I THINK SHE'S ALSO IMPREGNATED MY SETTO-CHA...N. (Pretend it rhymes with "lad".)

Yeah. I'll keep you posted, but Setto-chan was not that fat before. And they certainly are GOOD BUDDIES, if you get my drift.

I'm... yeah. I don't know nothin' bout no mouse babies. But I can't take Rei back and be all "ONG U NERD U SOLD M3 DE RONG GENDAR UV MAUS" because I don't want my Rei-kun to be snake food!

So, I'll... just have to do SOMETHING! I guess separate them when and if Setto-chan has PUPS, so they can't do it again. (HOW DO YOU STOP THEM?!?)

And, if Setto-chan does have babies, then... she'll just have to room with a daughter. AND WTF WILL I DO WITH A LITTER OF MICE.

She was an enormously big, strong, strapping female mouse, she both looked AND acted more like a male (just like her namesake) and she had gotten pretty big and fat in these last few months. She was always really happy and active, though, and looked up whenever someone came in the room in the hopes that someone would have some food for her.

She'd been very lethargic and hadn't come out all day when I discovered her. I felt really bad for Setto-chan, because suddenly SHE kept looking up when I came in and she never used to give a hoot about me before. She's a really social girl with other MICE, but she barely notices people.

So, I bought Haruka's successor, a pretty lil' chocolate brown girl that I've named Rei. (It would have been Hotaru, but... nah.)

Setto-chan gave her the initial "GIT OUT MY HOUSE" treatment, and they had a bit of a fight before they then SNUGGLED UP TOGETHER in their hut. Somehow, I think they'll be okay.

EXCEPT for the pesky detail that it isn't 2000. And no one says 1337 anymore. Unless they're talking about the number 1,337. Or 13.37. Or 133.7. Or 1.337.

What have I been doing lately? Well, about the same as always. Wishing I had more money, putting off the things I REALLY need to do (get GED, exercise), knitting once in a great while, watching TV, playing FFX-2, copying my CDs to mp3 (Since I STEPPED ON, AND BROKE my DoCo CD, and I'll be dipped in F**k before I'll let that happen to any more of my great CDs), doing Christmas cards and all kinds of other crap.

I did NaNo in november, and "finished" a 54,000+ word novel. I still have LOTS of work to do on it, though. But, that is the longest thing I've ever written (longer than any of my M*A*S*H sagas).

I will be getting a new PC sometime, all I need to do is get my GED first (that was the deal...), so, as far as Deviantart is concerned, I should be able to hook my tablet to the new system and... make some more art. :B

Hokay. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6958010/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6958010/ Fri, 04 Nov 2005 22:22:35 PST
I mean, it's been working well for the most part, but I'm still incredibly lazy. Eh, no one looks at my pictures anyway.

Oh, and I'm running Opera now, and I have images turned off, so I haven't really seen anyone's pictures in a long, long time. It's sucktacular, but pages load SO much faster! ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6628115/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6628115/ Wed, 28 Sep 2005 18:26:16 PDT
I haven't been drawing much... I don't know why. I can't really concentrate on anything lately. My brain's just going a million different ways; old computers are on my mind, and losing weight, and trying to write... gaaah. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6316201/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6316201/ Wed, 24 Aug 2005 14:08:06 PDT
I was 14 then, very stupid and naive. I waited weeks for the arrival of that cow-spotted box, and when it came, I was never the same again.

I made a fool of myself many times, but I also learned many things that otherwise, I wouldn't even know existed.

The painting I did today, of the grey Kyrii, may have been painted to commemorate Kyrii day (August 29th), but, dangit, it also shows just how much can change in 6 years.

Happy Birthday, Netta, and many happy returns. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6306619/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6306619/ Tue, 23 Aug 2005 12:43:55 PDT
So, I'm getting a new computer! It's quite the 1337 piece of machinery.

The Macintosh Quadra 700. 25 mhz CPU, 4 MB of RAM, INTERNAL floppy disk drive, oh, man. I'm having a techgasm just thinking about it.

Oh, and the best part? It's FREE.

Because it's 14 years old.

I'm excited about it, though. I mean, when the novelty wears off I'll be left with a 14 year old system that I can't do anything practical with, but hell. It's free, remember?

I wonder if it'll have a paint program. Hee, roffle. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6282189/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6282189/ Sat, 20 Aug 2005 19:05:34 PDT ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6071947/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6071947/ Fri, 29 Jul 2005 21:16:11 PDT
I have a * in front of my name. And I have thumbnails on my page.

Wait, what's going on?? Am I a paid user now? How did THAT happen??? *wants to know so she can hug the stuffing out of whoever did it*

Or... is it a trial? Or is it a special thing?

What's-a-goin-on???

I thought they just changed the journals... *sheepish* ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6071869/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6071869/ Fri, 29 Jul 2005 21:07:44 PDT
Okay, whoa. DA has turned into Livejournal. O.O

Hmm, nice, I guess.

Well, it's my day off work, as is tomorrow. I got my check, but it was for only $9 since I only got paid for orientation. What a waste of my time.

Oh well. My check 2 weeks from now will be rockin'.

Go! Five! Love Sick! ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6052369/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6052369/ Wed, 27 Jul 2005 21:03:15 PDT ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6033330/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6033330/ Mon, 25 Jul 2005 19:10:42 PDT
I got the weirdest deja vu at one point while I was on fries. The golden light, and the potatoes... it reminded me of something... White Castle? I guess I'm thinking of a time when I was a kid, but it's weird how I'd remember that.

They are the last ones to bleed... ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6013989/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/6013989/ Sat, 23 Jul 2005 15:15:20 PDT ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/5928851/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/5928851/ Thu, 14 Jul 2005 01:09:08 PDT
Well, my scanner's a thing of the past. It's not compatible with Windoze 2000. This is sucktacular.

Anyway, I have been busy six ways from sunday lately! I applied for a job at *insert popular Fast Food restaurant here* and actually had an interview! My first one ever, and I think I nailed it.

I was panicking and angsting on LJ (that anniversary is coming up, nearly 4 years on de El Jei!) about it but Ma convinced me that when the manager says he'll try and get back to me by Tuesday or Wednesday, it isn't a big deal when he doesn't, especially when you consider how busy they are. And I may in fact be hired. Oh, I really really hope I am.

Once, I went to the mall with Cindy, and it was a surprise trip, you know? So I had no idea we were going and I didn't have a dollar to my name. So here she's buying shit all over the place, Clerks action figures, etc. And we go in Hot Topic and I'm flabbergasted by the processed emotacular clothes and stickers and Save me Jesus but I wanted it, and I had no money.

The point is, you see, that I don't ever want that to happen again! I want to have money. I want to have money for movies, for games, for more ram and better computer upgrades and junk. I want high speed internet. I want cable TV. I want to be able to BUY books and manga and not have to put everything I want back because I have bills to pay.

I'm broke. I'm within 2 days of having my Visa card charged off, which will stay on my record for seven years. Granted, it's only seven years and I'm not planning on buying a car/house in the interim, but I'm 20 fucking years old. My life is in the shitter.

I need a job.

Anyway, creativity wise I'm doing poorly. I watched the Bruce Blitz cartoon tape from a million years ago and learned some stuff about drawing. I then took what I learned and drew a BADASS picture of Haruka Surumei. But other than that, my drawing's been meh. Powerpuff Girls and stuff.

I got to a point with the UltraS manga that sucked, and since my scanner's no good, I don't feel like finishing it now. Maybe I shoyuld just suck it up and get a new scanner, but the old one works like a charm, it's just my OS that's fucken stupid and can't operate the damn thing. *kicks*

And writing... don't know. I want to write M*A*S*H fic but I can't get any ideas. Chaxie is so great, but I'm not sure what I want to say about them.

Well, I want to sleep now. Please let the manager call me today. I want a job. I want a job. I want a JOOOOOB. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/5106429/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/5106429/ Sat, 16 Apr 2005 19:29:21 PDT
Hair's been black for a long time. bad roots. Real bad.

UltraS site will go live soon. I R EXCITED YAY ZOMG. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/4405949/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/4405949/ Mon, 24 Jan 2005 19:10:05 PST
Let's see, I'm pretty well into Tokusatsu music once again, and trying to write UltraS. How fun.

Also, I'm on the verge of dying the ole hair black. Ooooh, can't wait. I've resolved to wait until February, but for a natural blonde (yep) it's a big step. I

Yep. Stuff. Grrrr. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3960009/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3960009/ Tue, 30 Nov 2004 21:08:16 PST
Yes, I still have my scanner. No, it's not hooked up.

Yes, I'm getting a new monitor for christmas. Then, I'll essentially have 2 computers again.

That's about it. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3756092/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3756092/ Thu, 04 Nov 2004 20:39:42 PST
You know, let's forget that, though, and continue our thinking that I am a competent computer... person.

THE LEFT BEHIND SERIES IS SO GOOD OMG. I just thought I'd share my new obsession. Of course, I can't avoid slash even in a biblical-themed series... and slashing the ANTICHRIST, much less... but that may end up not working because the person I want to slash him with is... old and possibly insane, but also hasn't really done much in this book.

Oh, don't kill him off!

"Don't die, Excellency! We need you! The world needs you! *I* need you!"

Whatever.

Well, I've also been listening to a lot of my old tapes. Yay happy. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3646291/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3646291/ Fri, 22 Oct 2004 00:34:17 PDT
Neopets sol't out. I mean, they did it a long time ago, but now it's really bad. They have this bigass freaken banner at the top of every single page, and half the time (allegedly) it's not even FOR neopets. In other words, linking offsite, to places like ebay and crap. This is a bad bad thing.

Horrible!

I really feel that I can totally let loose in this journal, let my hair down and shit. I have not yet established my identity, but I have faith.

Holy shite I just found 4 cheez-its melded together. What an anomaly. I shall have to hold off on eating it until i can take a picture. Boy, that'll be something. It'll be like the king of all cheez-its (actually, the king of all Snackrite (R) Cheese Crackers.)

So yes. I finally uploaded a deviantID. I just sat down and made one. It sucks quite a lot. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3562206/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3562206/ Mon, 11 Oct 2004 03:10:59 PDT

What was it Astronema said... "Fame can't last forever, but arrogance can." Damn. Damn damn damn.

It's October already. I mean... it's like... almost half over already. Holy man. Where has the time gone. Soon the elections, my first year being able to vote. How fun. ^_^

I HAVE TO remember, now that Netta works again, to go looking for cool photoshop brushes and other shit. I know a lot of making professional-looking illustrations is like... talent, and shit, but I'm using the default tools and I want some pimp't out toolz, too. :B

I think my Sunny drawing is a step in the right direction however. I was really worried that it'd turn out like shit, but for the first SD pic I've drawn in a long time and for being the flood-fill tool's whore, with the exception of the shitty hair it turned out pretty sweet. Oh, I got SO lazy with the hair it's inexcusable, but it's a pretty awesome picture nonetheless. I made it my wallpaper... oh, my ego. But it's my first (!!!) Power Rangers Ecstasy!!!/Infinity!!! wallpaper in years. Kinda sweet.

People have such good luck in oekaki boards. I never got oekaki. Oekaki eludes me. It befuddles me. It makes me go, "Mongo only pawn... in game of life."

Anyway, those Nike shoes I found in the parking lot FIT PERFECTLY! I have no idea the source of the good fortune that has smiled upon me, but the fact that some man threw away a pair of size 9 Nike shoes and I, a size 9 in mens, happened to come across them... it's just amazing. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3499493/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3499493/ Sun, 03 Oct 2004 00:24:31 PDT
Potter: No, I'd rather my food not hold on to the plate when I pick it up.

*-*-*

Margaret: You refused to prostitute yourself...

Charles: PLEASE... don't say... prostitute.

*-*-*

Just so it's documented SOMEWHERE, the new goods I got today:

A maroon newsboy cap at Marshall Fields
A t-shirt with an old-school NES controller and the words "Know your rootz" on it at Target
A pink pajama top with white sleeves at target
A pair of gray pajama pants at target
6 1-inch pins at Bibelot

And perhaps strangest of all...

A pair of Nike shoes from the Kmart parking lot. Someone just left their shoes sitting in the middle of the parking lot, and now they are mine. They're really beat-up and pretty ghetto, but what can I say, they are SHOES. I don't know for sure that they fit because they're really dirty, but once I run them through the wash we'll see if I'll end up leaving them outside with a sign that says 'free'.

I haven't been watching as much M*A*S*H lately... actually, I HAVE, but I'm not inspired to write too much. And that's bad because Katie's fic-a-thon thing is due in less than a month, and I somehow have to write that damn thing.

"FUCK ME!"

"Uh... 'Oh darn'." ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3335057/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3335057/ Fri, 10 Sep 2004 20:12:10 PDT
I ought to work on CGing my Maxie pic tonite.

-Thingy.
-Charenji.
-Hawkeye Pierce Superstar.
-The Officers' Club.

I think I ought to draw some Chicago fanart.

Also, did you know David Ogden Stiers used to skateboard around the set of M*A*S*H? Now, I CAN'T draw a pic of Charles on a skateboard, but talk about weird. Talk about adorable.

Charles on a skateboard. I couldn't make that up if I tried. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3206820/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3206820/ Wed, 25 Aug 2004 00:09:32 PDT

I wish I could get my scanner to plug in, but there's something wrong with the cord and surprise! The printer cable has gone missing. I mean, all I'd have to scan in would be... I dunno... stupid notebook pen drawings, but some of them are worth scanning.

But it is not to be. ]]> ~ArmyGreenNoBara http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3069337/ http://ArmyGreenNoBara.deviantart.com/journal/3069337/ Sat, 07 Aug 2004 20:28:00 PDT
Deviantart v.4 is exactly the same as the old Deviantart, except that nothing works. I hate it and wish it would go to hell and die.

I uploaded the rest of my Chaxie drawings today. Also saw Fahrenheit 9/11, and the campaign for Kerry continues.

War is dumb.
