That is all.

But guess what! Microsoft is giving away a free beta of the AW3S0M3 Windows 7! I quickly got it installed with bootcamp, and now I can run a PC more conveniently, and with better graphics.

So now I might upload a few more deviations when I get inspiration, but I'm still getting Pixelmator when I can...

In other news, you can now follow me on Twitter > [link]

In January, I will finally swipe me a copy of that Pixelmator when MacHeist comes around. Whee! Better graphics powered by a mac!

Happy Holidays, everyone.

So I'm waiting around for the third installment of MacHeist ( [link] ) where I can get that, and about 7 other pieces of expensive software for just $50.

So, what this means for my watchers:

I'll probably make a really minimalistic winter or holiday themed wallpaper on my PC, but in January is when more deviations will be rolling around

Well, they completely lied.

THEY EXPECTED ME TO LET THEM KEEP BOTH COMPUTERS FOR TWO DAYS. The genius basically said "Yeah, just fill out this like six page form, leave the computers here, wait 24-48 hours, and we'll call you." And maybe I'm paranoid, but that pretty much means they'll be rooting through my files and probably looking at each and every one of them and chuckling at the geekiness. Screw that.

So after a day of frustrating myself, I figured out how to network the computers (My PC is a dinosaur. Even the Geek Squad can't help me with any bit of it.). I had to go turn of the fire-walls, password protect my account, run IPCONFIG on command prompt, and find the PC in finder. Oh, and if you try connecting 'em yourself, don't even bother calling AppleCare. When it comes to anything related to Windows, AppleCare agents are like complete retards.

So I had to experiment with it myself, and after nearly two hours, my 10 Gigabytes of documents were transferred over my wireless network.

So now that my documents are moved, I need to learn GIMP. That could take a while...

Now, on to the business. I'M GETTING A MACBOOK! !!!

It's the black one on this page: [link] . I'm really close to getting it, so I'm excited. Unfortunately, this means some bad news for my watchers and my gallery. Paint.NET won't normally run on a Mac, so I would have to buy a Windows XP Pack for Apple's bootcamp. However, I'm also planning to buy Adobe Web Standard with Photoshop for Mac. But of course, there's that steep learning curve, so it could take a while. But I'll still have access to my old PC for those quick little projects. I'll be sure to post pics when I get it.

But I'm still a ways from having all the money for it, so don't expect the absence to happen too soon.

Next on the agenda is the fact that I got some adobe products the other day. is the only way I can describe what I feel. 'Nuff said.

After that is yet another summer movie report. Since my last journal, I've seen 3 movies. And since I don't feel like saying much, I'll just list what I rate them below.
Get Smart
WALL-E
The Dark Night

And that's all for now. Stay tuned in next week for... aw, who am I kidding nothing important's happening next week...

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah......

MOST FRIGGING AWESOME MOVIE EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

In my last journal I stated that Iron Man would probably be the best movie this summer. I want to go back in time an slap myself. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull IS and WILL BE the best movie this summer. Harrison Ford kicks ass, and Steven Speilburg and George Lucas are a match made in heaven.

If you haven't seen this movie, then you must, and if you don't want to, then you suck. 'Nuff said.

Ever since the giant Earth Day collage, I haven't gotten any big inspiration, but I posted two tiny things. And the first of those two things is a BMW emote, now available on thezikes.com and is compatible with the custom emote script. To use it, all you have to type is :BMW: in chat. It's not important because I was lazy and just stole it from my BMW logo deviation.
The second of the two things is a giant page of doodles. It's got hints about future projects and just some random things I drew which I'm sure nobody's interested in, but I posted it anyway. You can find it in my scraps. Enjoy.
And let's end with some personal stuff... hmmm... I've been hanging out on dAmn a lot more lately, I usually chat from like 8:30 to 10:00 or so, my time, US Eastern. I started a chatroom, called #TheBMWLounge And something else... I went to see Iron Man a while back. I expect it'll turn out to be the best movie this summer. Gotta go see Indiana Jones though.
I Steven Speilburg + George Lucas.

In closing, I'm expecting to do some new, fantastic work soon, I'm just to lazy to do it now. Expect a new journal entry soon declaring the posting of some less-rough sketches of my ambitious project!

Well, I guess it's one deviation with two versions. Anyway, this is one of my best pieces of artwork. It's a giant collage made of all the best earth day deviations all piled into a giant recycle symbol. While it was simple to make, it took hours to create, and lots of patience. But I'm really excited that this already has around seven faves, and it's only been up for a little while. Thanks everyone who favorited it, I thought this was a pretty cool project. Now that my PC's RAM got upgraded, it's much easier to do giant stuff like this. I guess I'll focus more on wallpapers now. You can veiw 'em here:

1st- A poster (first print) that says "Procrastinate and DIE!". I'm not very proud of it, I suppose I made it for myself to stop that terrible habit of mine. However, threatening myself isn't working out for obvious reasons. > [link]

2nd- A deviantID! Finally! I wasn't sure what to put on it, so I guess I didn't do it for a while. But anyway, it looks pretty neat. And if I did a deviantID, it was inevitable that I would update the whole page anyway, which I did. It gives a bit more info about me. Enjoy. > [link]

3rd- An expirimental graphic gone totally awesome. I turned a cloudy background into a sweet AC/DC tribute. Maybe I'll do a few more of those... > [link]

4th- Lastly, I wised up and put thank you comments on the pages of everyone who favorites my work. In the comment, I link to this originally hand drawn "Thank You" image. (Best in full view) > [link]

I am officially out of worthy deviations in my documents, but I'm planning a pretty cool one with warped photography.
