Friday musings with DK1
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME THIS WEEKEND! DON"T FORGET!
OK, Michael, lil' Robert's big brother, gave me the 411 via lil' Robert on Watchmen's "R" rating:
#1 When someone gets their arm broken, you can see the bones sticking out
#2 Some one gets an arm cut off and you can see muscles and ick and gore. probably bones too.
#3 And this last one is REALLY important, err ... Dr. Manhattan doesn't wear clothes.
Hmm, I realize that I agree with the idea but not with the execution... the idea of a huge common threat to humanity uniting everyone.
Ok, I can only use A4 & B4 paper to draw things i intend to scan since that's the max size on the good scanner at the A & A Library Now that it's not my birthday, i feel inexesplicably happy. On an up note I feel like drawing again and the Torgesson bridge can access Gaia again. YAY!
# things came in the mail on Tuesday; The Bleach tarot. it's a fan made doujinshi type thing of awesomeness all water color painting i believe! The Saint Seiya Tarot also a fanmade doujinshi deck. It's gorgeous! And unlike many decks it's the whole 78 card deck and not just the majors *koff*bleach tarot*koff*. And some random cute one that's a promo.
Are the Smurfs based on a book? The answer is yes. A comic book from way back in the day. and i was right Peewee was a midget and not just a particularly small kid. Then it occurred to me, Smurfs could be 3 apples high because medieval apples wouldn't have all the hormones and genetic engeneering of todays fruit treesso the apples wouldn't be freaky huge mutants like what they have a Kroger. You ever notice how the smurfs never looked small? This pretty much applies to all small things. Paw paws, The littles, The borrowers, Fraggles, Hobbits, but within the context of their own societies, they aren't small. You never notie any of them are small unless they show them out side of their villages, or territories, or cavern, wall of house type area. Or next to a human scaled object. The smurfs go into the woods, Gargamel shows up, Fraggles visit the Trash Heap or try to steal some radishes, the Littlesgo visit Henry Big, Frodo goes to throw a magic ring in a volcano. The Borrowers borrow something. if you never see them in the outside world you never realize/remember they aren't human size.
This was all brought on while I was thinking about my Chaos Sprites. Mostly along the lines of "won't people be all like, 'what kind of monsters can freaking fairies have to fight?' My answer being "uuhm, cockroaches and spiders would be the size of rats & cats, mice & rats the size of dogs and tigers (horses if you live in a really ghetto area), praying mantises would be like being attacked by a horror movie scarecrow! House cats (non friendly ones) would be effing T rex size or worse, owls, crows, hawks? Freakin' teredactyls! And dogs! jeeze lousie! and don't even get me started on humans. Most of them don't even notice other humans let alone small things. And then there's all the supernatural critters! but that's enough on that subject.
I forgot how fun yet annoying programing HTML was but at least now my site has art instead of the link to the art. Why make people click more than they have to? Cell phones didn't make the world a better place.
Here's an interesting fact: If you swear at the Cracker barrel They will throw you out. Seriously the will tell you to leave. They don't tolerate cursing. They're very serious about being a family place.Jason told me this today they actually fired a 4 month pregnant waitress for saying 's***' when she dropped something. Jason also pointed out that they don't have alcohol on their menu which i never noticed because i'm all about the breakfast menu. We think the chain may be owned by ultra conservative religious church, like wally world.
Han fu are cool.
um... and any way Nellie's cave turns out to be in Jenny's son's uncle's backyard. It's named after his great or great great grandma. The cave is the kind you have to rappel into and it's believed it goes all the way to West VA.
Red String for the random web-comic of the day.
