Overdue, Overdue, OVERDUE!!!!

I wanted to do these features in April already, but dA kept me busy, as well as my Ole Screen broke >_<

Now, anyways, first off i would like to thank my friend For his support and for helping me out of my screen-less misery! Thanks man, i appreciate it a lot!

Now, back on track:

So, back then, i posted a journal, asking my watchers and stoppers-by, if they would like to be featured. You sure all know these kinda Journals, with featureslots, "comment my journal and youze´s gettin da slot..." etc etc.

Now, it took me FOREVER to put it up, due to busyness, but finally, here it is!

OH! And back then, in April i think, i also decided to write a news-article about these features! To celebrate my 29th b-day in April (dA didnt update mah age ¬_¬, and to celebrate my 10,000th Pageview back then, and as a little "thank you" to mý active watchers and supporters. However, this is long gone, but yet i decided to write the newsarticle about it, which you can find here: [link]

Hope, that makes up a little for the long delay to actually DOING the features, haha!

But enough said, here they are now, hope you enjoy!

TRiG, out!

Hey folks!

Now, thats just great...

Yesterday, everything was working ncie and normal, and today...

I switch on my computer...

MONITOR = DEAD !!!

And is it the small one that i use as a secondary, the cheap 800x600 one?

Of course NOT!

Of course it is my MAIN display, the 19" one.

And right now, i am not in the position to afford a new one...

Hooray... ¬_¬

So, just letting you know, ladies and gentlemen, that i am currently sort of... "heavily impaired" when it comes to doing stuff... artwise as well as online-wise...

So, yeah...

More delays...

I hope, i can come up with a sort of "intermediate solution" of any kind sooner or later...

And:

YES, this SUCKS BIG TIME !!!!!


On a side note, my dearest friend and solmate Is going on a trip to Edinborough, Scotland Tomorrow...

God, i will miss her on MSN, sniff...

(even though i doubt i will be spending much time on MSN WITHOUT MY SCREEN T_T )

So, go visit her, and wish her a good trip, good luck and lots of fun!

So, thanks for reading this short "info-journal"...

TRiG, out.

Hey, Guys n Galz, just want to let you know:

I did NOT forget about the features!

lol, i just have been somewhat busy recently, especially the last few weeks, and i still somewhat am, but i did DEFINITELY NOT forget about it!!! So, all of you, that commented on my last journal will still be featured, like i promised! Its just so TOUGH to pick only three deviations your galleries, because all of the stuff in your galleries is so friggin cool! It gets even tougher, since many of you submit artwork of different media, and i want to feature you all with the artwork that reflects and presents you and your "craft" the best. I already made a few decicisons on some of the work i will feature, so i guess it wont take too long til i put up a new journal with all of your works in it! Oh, and as a little surprise (and to celebrate my 10.000th pageview as well as my 29th birthday which was in April), i will also feature you all in a News Article On the deviantART NewsBoard as well, parallel to my journal-features!

So yeah, i sort of gave away my own surprise for you here, but who cares, haha!

But before i can do that, i should go and renew my sub, haha! Seems its running out this month! So, on monday i wil lgo and transfer some Money to my PayPal so i can get me a new one and wont be sub-less

I will really try to be quick with the features, but since i joined that contest, i am really quite flooded with messages! Which makes a nice transition to the next topic of this Journal:

the "Bring Your Vision To Life" Contest by Wacom and deviantART!

Well, the voting for the "Community Award" is still open for me, and if you like any of my entries, and ONLY THEN (!!!), it would be frigging great if you FAV´d it, as it would count as a Vote for it! So, that´d definitely be nice! And if you want, maybe show it to a friend, hm? LOL, am i FISHING FOR VOTES here or what ?? XD XD XD

Nah, seriously:

I didnt make it to the Semi-Finals, which is neither a big surprise nor a big hit for me or soemthing, because i didnt do it for "teh Prizes ... " It was just a whole lot of fun to create all these entries (they all were pretty much LAST MINUTE!!!), and the reactions were really OVERWHELMING!

I got more comments and FAVES in the last two weeks than in the entire LAST YEAR!!!

I had (and still have!) a hell of a good time reading through all your ncie comments, critics, replies and all, its really unbelievable! I met so many interesting persons, great artists and new friends through this contest, that i consider that that the greatest Prize of all!!!

Thank you all so much, whether youre known or unknown, an old friend or a new one, whether you left a comment or just fav´d... It all means SO MUCH to me!!!

Thanks to every single one of you out there, for so much support such nice comments and EVERY SINGLE FAV!!!

Really, it means the WORLD to me, and i had such a fucking BLAST submitting these entries and talking to all of you out there! (and a lot of all your messages are still to be replied to!)

Really, i love this community, and every single one of you out there

Thanks, friends!

So, dont forget to VOTE (), enjoy dA, and follow da TRiG´z first commandment:

"THOU SHALT STAY TUNED!

TRiG, out!

Okay, so...

I didnt update my journal since the last entry.
LOL.

Just to let you know:
I am fine, as you can probably figure, because i have returned to my usual routine of procrastination and lazyness XD

But hey:
At least i am still updating this in 2008 XD

So, since i can figure, that many of my friends out there might ask themselves, if all went well related to my recent teeth-problem:

Yes, everything is fine. I have completely recovered and i am absolutely painfree, all that will be done in the next time are a couple of fillings (UGH!). Not pleasurable but all good.
I have recovered from the surgery and the removal of those wisdomsteeth MUCH quicker and easier than i had guessed.

Meaning:
The recovery didnt just go as planned, it went even better. And faster.
Also, the removal of the stitches as well as some "quick fixes" on these ruins in my mouth that i tend to call "teeth" went more than well.

Well... besides that:

Not many news here so far, as dumb as it sounds.

Hm, currently i am thinking about redoing / redesigning my journal, and i already have a few ideas in my head.
But meh, i dont have too much of a clue about CSS... XD
So, it might take a while for me til i finish it.. if ever. But i guess i can figure it, especially since there are quite a few Tutorials on CSS on deviantART in special and the IntarWebz in general.
Help, however, is still appreciated
For example:

Does any of you guys n gals out there know, how to create a CSS journal to play around with and preview it on the own computer, without uploading it to deviantART and thereby eventually screwing up the current layout ??

Oh, and believe it or not:

I FORGOT NEW YEARS EVE!!!!

LOL, before yesterday, i didnt even THINK about the fact that New Years eve is knocking at the door!!!
I didnt figure it was already coming so soon, and so i have no preparations made and nothing planned, lol...

Is it just me, or has time really been FLYING lately ???

So what else is left for me to say, other than that i wish all my watchers and visitors a good entry to 2009, a wonderful New Years Eve and all the best for the upcoming year

Well.
Probably, there is ONE thing left to say in this journal.
And that is:

I got tagged...
by

1] Post these rules.
2] Each tagged person should post 8 facts of themselves.
3] Tagged people should write a journal\blog about these facts.
4] In the end tag and name 8 people.
5] Go to their dA pages and comment saying that they are tagged.

Okay, second or third time i am doing this Tag, but i will try my very best

1) Hmmm... I remember, when i was younger, i used to be into model-building. Ya know, these plastic Kits of planes, ships and starships and such, that you assemble and then paint and add decals. Now, the funny story here is: Once, i was building such a model kit while my mom was at work, and i was right in the painting-state of the current model, and so i had an open model of paint-thinner on the table. In the living room. While watching TV. That is a rather big table there, and (luckily, as you will soon understand) its top side has some ceramic tiles on it. Thing is, i forgot to close the bottle of thinner and, hoe should it be different, accidentally spilled the bottle of thinner all across the ceramic tiling of the table. Right in that second, my mom returned from work, and of course: she was smoking a cigarette... And the ashtray was right on the table... She was about to drop her cigarette into said ashtray, as my eyes grew WIDE with PANIC and i shouted: "...DONT!!!!!!". The blaze of the cigarette, of course MISSED the ashtray and fell into the spilled thinner... well... Do i HAVE to say what happened ???
*WOOOOF!!!!!* Burning table >_<

So yeah, random fact number one: I set our livingroom table on fire XD

(but thanks to thinner burning very quickly and due to the ceramic tiling of the table, it was over after a second and no permanent damage was done... )

2) I am currently waiting for a belated x-mas package to arrive! It comes from relatively far away and from a very dear frien... ]]> =TRiGGER80 http://TRiGGER80.deviantart.com/journal/21345893/ http://TRiGGER80.deviantart.com/journal/21345893/ Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:52:30 PST Among the living

So, first of all, i want to let all my dear friends and watchers, which might be interested, know:

Today was my surgery and it went WELL!
No complications!

When i got the I.V. for the narcotics, the Anesthesist said: "This is a premedication for the anasthesia...you might start to feel a lil dizzy now..."

Well, and then the ceiling started to roll over and over over my head... and so i closed my eyes. When i opened em, dizzy and drowsy and all, i saw the Anasthesist doing something at the canula, and i was like: "Oooohhh... now hes going to give me the narcotics..." but...

He removed the canula... O.o

i was like: "WTF ??? Something going WRONG?? they cant operate me or WHAT??"

BUT:

The next thing i remembered was the surgeons voice: "...all went well... the teeth are out... no complications..." and the Anasthesist asked me to roll over to the other bed (which would be taken to the "wake up room" of the surgery). I did as he said, and closed my eyes...

When i opened them again, i saw my mothers face, and i was like:

"...huh...?"

As i have been told afterwards:
The whole surgery took only 35 Minutes.

Well... and then the "worst" part of it began...
My mouth, of course, was TOTALLY numb!
I mean, like, really! Not just the mouth itself or where the teeth have been extracted: The tongue the lips, ALL OF IT! Hell, even my CHIN was numb!
So far, thats normal and its okay that way and i can live with that.
annoying, that i couldnt TALK or such, but okay.

But what was really difficult, was my throat...
I have been artificially respirated (through an hose, which has been put through my nose into my mouth and from there down my throat), and thereby my throat was really, REALLY SORE...
So sore, i could BARELY swallow.
Which was a lil difficult, because my mouth kept on filling itself with a mixture of saliva and blood >_<

No worries, normal, too...
I tried to drink a cup of whater, but since my whole mouth and chin were numb... eh.. dunnie work XD

After a while, i tried to stand up, carefully, and noticed, i was getting a lil dizzy, so i sat down on a chair, slowly putting my shoes back on (had to take em off for the surgery, poor doctors XD .

Afer that, i tried again an it worked okay...
So, i was feeling rather drowsy, could hardly swallow and my mouth was filled with Saliva + blood.

Yay.
Party Time.

I went to the sink, spitting out a lot of that blood / saliva stuff, washing myself (my chin was dripping with that blood-saliva stuff, looked HORRIBLE, but it was harmless and normal, lol...) and i looked SO WHITE in my face O.o

After that, we decided to go...
My mom wanted to fetch a taxi, but i signaled her, she doesnt need to (remember: couldnt talk!), she was like: "... ´scuse me?? Are you SERIOUS??"

And i nodded... so, we went to a pharmacy, and from there went home by Tram / Bus...

when we arrived at the BusStation closeby, i usually SHOULD have gone with another bus, four or five stops, til i am home... but we just MISSED that bus, so my mom said: "Okay... so...well have to wait 20 Mins. till the next one..." But once again:
I had different plans, and so i signaled my mom, that we should, actually, WALK home... She was like "WTF???", but agreed, and so we went home, by foot, making a nice stroll through the park.
...
Less than one hour after i woke up from FULL Anasthesia XD

and believe it or not: it went WELL! I was feeling uncomfortable, but everything was in an okay area, and my mind was completely awake and all.

Now, when i arrived home, this all got really annoying... unable to swallow.. .the blood from the wounds in my mouth... lips + chin = totally numb and all...
I tried to drink something, but lol, it just didnt work... i got it in my /throat/, and i was coughing real hard and all, and i was like: "Allrighty... Narcotics still affecting your muscles for swallowing... better wait a lil..."

Now, funnily enough, narcotics aways start to wear off first, where it HURTS, but since i couldnt swallow or drink, i couldnt take my meds (paindrops and Antibiotics)...

So, did have a lil bit of pain, but not TOO bad... bearable.
After the narcotics wore off a little more and i could feel my tongue and lips again, i took my drops and the antibiotics...
I *did* feel a little sick and all, but i guess thats normal at that point... after all, i didnt eat something before i took the meds =/

Now, swallowing stil lwas tough, i was feeling dizzy and drowsy, but otherwise okay.

A few hours later, i felt how everything got a little better... right now its 2:43 AM in... ]]> =TRiGGER80 http://TRiGGER80.deviantart.com/journal/21227068/ http://TRiGGER80.deviantart.com/journal/21227068/ Thu, 30 Oct 2008 03:59:36 PDT Even shorter update

Hey, Dear friends...

I would like to tell you, that the surgery went okay, and that i feel fine now and everything is moving upwards again...

But...

I cant.
Its NOT TRUE!

Its not like something happened during the surgery.
Well.. in fact, the SURGERY didnt happen AT ALL!

Thanks to local Public Transport.

We double and triple checked if we have everything we need, before we left the house...
And right on the middle of the way, we noticed, that we forgot the MONEY for the anasthesist. So we had to go back home and fetch the money, thereby missing our bus.

Now, i am smart enough to plan ahead, and so i had calculated, that we might miss a bus or such.... Thing is:

the NEXT bus didnt arrive AT ALL. I dont know why, but one bus was completely SKIPPED!

So we called the surgery and told them, tat we night be ten minutes later.
So far so good, but when we arrived by the trainstation, we waited a while... and then heard an announcement through the speakers: The train will be 15 Minutes TOO LATE.

thereby, when we arrived at the surgery, we were about 45 Min. TOO LATE!
Of course, this screwed up the schedule of the surgery and all, and so there was NO other choice than to make a NEW Appointment..

*sigh*

It will be NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY.

Fuck, i hope i can make it halfways smoothly til then...

But i´m trying to be confident about it.

So... one things sure:

TOOTHFAIRY´S GONNA PAY EXTRA !!!

Nevertheless: Happy Halloween to ye all...!

TRiG

Hey guys ´n gals ´n inbetweens,
I figured, i might just give you a short update, after the lat journal was so horrible, haha...

So... like i said, i was not exaggerating on the situation, it was clearly dramatic... all the pain, exhaustedness and sleep deprivation were really horrible...
I was so... DRAINED, and in a downward spiral... God, my mental state was SO down the drain... One morning, i accidentally spilled a glass of water... and CRIED about it, as if someone died... O.o

Now... okay... i can imagine, due to said mental condition and such, i might have sound like a drama-queen, or all about whining and complaining... like... PearlJam XD

Now, if i did: Let me apologize for that... Again: Pain, Sleep deprivation, no food, meds on top... well.. that can pull someone down... like... seriously...

So.. .sorry for that, if i sounded a littlebit like a sissy, haha...

Now, since this is supposed to be an update, i will... well.. keep ypu updsted now, haha:

Last week i had the preliminary talk for the surgery. Good news is: The infection is GONE! So, yay for that. Bad news is: Full narcotics isnt covered by med insurance.
So: BOOM! 290 $ Hole in my purse. Yay.
Which means:
I have to delay my plans to buy a new digital camera... *sigh*

Now, tomorrow, i have a checkup at my doc, just some sort routine thing and getting a referral to the anasthesist, so he can dose the narcotics right.

And the surgery.. .well, it will be this thursday, 30th... I have to be at the docs at about 8:45h.

To me it will just be come in, sleep, go home, haha... Well, at least if all runs well.

Will probably be pretty down and exhausted the days after, but hey: Might as well be, i feel just fine In any case, i will come and check back on you guysn gals

So...
Tomorrow => Doc Appointment
Thursday morning => Surgery
Having to pay the narcotics myself => No camera

Damn.

Well, on a much HAPPIER note:

I found my moms old computerscreen!
Sure, its old and small, a 14" that can run 800x600, and thats it... pretty crappy...
BUT:
When i found it, i thought: "Hmmm... lets try something..." and so i hooked it up to my computer as a secondary display. And its working Sure, small, old, 800x600 maxres and the colors are a little bit off (not like WRONG colors, but just not calibrated), but really: even such a small old thing is a great help! When i am surfing or whatever, i can just push my MSN, my MP3Player and whatever over to the second screen! And when i am working, i can have my TV Display (i use one of those free internet TV Streaming services) to the other screen and watch while i am working, or put a video on it... I can even put webcam display on there and whatever...

And even better: When i am doing some 3D Modeling, i used to have to switch vetween Maya (my 3D App) and the reference images i have, which was a pain in the A**.. .and now, i can just push my imageviwer on the second screen and keep it open, an even browse through all my reference and whatever.. .thats just SO NEAT! I think, this will help me a lot... and i wil lsee if i can find some moar uses for that!
And the best thing is: Its for free, cuz i found that old screen! YAY!

So.. .thats it for the moment...

Surgery on thursday 30th...

To all my friends and watchers, and all the guys that accidentally jumped on my site here:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

TRiG.
