I know it's not everybody's cup o' tea, but maybe someone will like them ^_^

I want to get ze valentines off of my front page.

First I want to say thanks - you guys are flattering beyond words just for viewing, faving, commenting on my art. I'll let you in on a little secret about Lapinstein. There was a time in my life where art meant the world to me. I had every intention of pursuing it as a career. I don't know about other artists, but the realization that artwork at it's highest level is mostly about the investment and less about the work is chicanery. A facade to the senses that makes one create.

So a part of me that likes to create has been kind of sulking for a while. I'm not one to sulk because I have no self esteem, but I've been told before that I analyze things too much (such as I'm doing now) and it's true for the most part. I do analyze things so I do start to think 'meh, what does it matter?'. So again, i thank you. I'm pursuing my options as far as a career goes, but ya'll keep the drawing spirit alive.



I finished reading the book 'Marley & Me' last week. It only took about 3 days to read between breaks at work, so for ya'll looking for a quickie (shut up you perverts XD) this book is pretty good. I laughed, I cried (mostly cried), and I enjoyed the story. It's basically just a feel good story. I didn't even know they had put a movie out last year based on the book so you know I have to check that out now. Next on the reading block is 'The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty' by Anne rice. Recommended by Amber. I don't know what to think about it - I'm promised good things.


Fallout 3. Hang on let me start over.
Oblivion 5: Fallout 3. Yup oblivion with guns fits it perfectly. Throw in a VAC and you're there. I unno. I was so glad to finish this one. It was fun...but I sometimes wonder if bethesda plays through their games on evil. I mean - I got so pissed at having people tell me 'no you have to go do this for me before I help you' or 'fuck you I'm not telling you anything' that I just got on to killing everybody who didn't give me what I wanted right away. Couple that with about 4 hours of 'main story' play and it's a let down for 60 bucks.


MST3K - A few weeks ago I spent a ton of money on DVD's. We won't talk about how much, but I had a huge tax return. So I went out and bought Mystery Science Theater 3000 volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10.2, 11, 12, 13, and 14. I've been going through these slowly. I'll just say now that I like Mike as the host more than Joel, but I like Joel too. Hell Mike writes some of the episodes that Joel's in so it's basically whatever face you prefer (or acting). Nothing has been quite as much torture to watch as 'Future War' on Volume 13, and most are pretty damned funny. I started with volume 1 and I'm up to 4 now. 'Girl with the golden boots' is today's bedtime movie, I can hardly wait to watch it XD.

Sherlock Holmes. I dunno how much people watch Sherlock Holmes. Anywho, the series that stars Jeremy Brett is fantastic. I'm sure for a lot of people (generalization) think that Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes. Everything about this series is epic and can now be had on dvd for a nominal fee (oh it sounds like a lot but it's worth every penny) http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Holm.....863&sr=8-2 . 41 episodes of awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UES7.....=1&index=1 . Shut up, don't look at me like that.

EDF 2017. I picked up Earth Defense Force: 2017 for around 17 dollars on amazon.com. I know that's gonna hurt someones feelings. I mean I just said fallout 3 was kinda boring. But fallout 3 is sold to you as a dystopian future with deep meaningful storyline and 'choices' between good and evil. Earth Defense Force: 2017 is fun as hell. Blow up big alien bug things with big weapons, good controls, customizable weapon selection, corny ass dialogue, huge explosions. The amount of shit on screen is mind blowing. Think Serious Sam with less jokes and more guns. I played this game for 11 hours straight the first weekend that I had it. I'm not positive about what made it so enticing, it just never got old. The only thing they could do to make it better is give it xbox live co-op. Hell 8 person co-op would give me a joygasm the size of which could register on some scale that measures that kind of thing.

That's it. Besides work and art, vidja games, dvd's, and snuggles with the girly I like. I'm boring, go away XD.

Ah valentines, something I remember
was it May, or perhaps December
when I gave my heart to that maiden fair
and she did show me her dairy air

Oh we did the song and dance
I gave all that love nonsense a chance
hearts and candies and roses abound
my love for her was so profound

So in the bedroom where we laid
where our most mischievous games where played
where I would share my porno mags
with that lecherous devil, that temptress, with ball and gag

something bloomed, or rather 'grew'
and with a look into her eyes, I knew
That I'd dip my chocolate into her peanut butter
and it would send her heart a-flutter


Mwahhaha. Okay I amuse myself. I can't finish this. D:. it could go on forever tho

Happy Valentines Day.

Boring little journal to pass the time before bed time. Gots me an interview tonight so I has to get some sleep (they scheduled it on the crappiest day of the week, and it's an internal interview, you'd think they'd know...or maybe care...).

Art related news: I has a commissionnnnnn! WOOOT ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1962532 ). It's from mister  liquidmark. I really like his stuff (obviously) I kind of want to do more commissions in the future, I receive a good amount of epic art from my art buddies and a couple of you folks who are nice enough to dole it out to me. Really, it's flattering, and if I ever seem like I don't appreciate it, rest assured - am I too fucking awe-struck to find the right words to describe how much 'unf unf unf' I'm feeling. Oh, and  liquidmark has like 6 spots left for commissions http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/612134/ . Don't be shy, his style is awesome.

Also, the shorty series is going really well, I've finished 3 of them (a shocker to me) which leaves 3 more I believe. This really gives me a chance to make some 'sex' pictures, though, you can pity the males - because they simply are not the star of the show so they become background-fodder. Maybe they'll be part of the male series later.

Real life nonsense: Lets just go down the list as put up in the journal title. We'll start with 'wow sucks'. Wrath of the Lich King (as it's titled) is pretty lame so far. I mean, it's incomplete. There is no lich king in it. Yes I know he makes appearences but he cannot be killed yet. Content wise there really isn't a big enough variety of dungeons, the 10 man content is boring compared to 25 man, and you finish farming 25 man so fast that you're essentially geared up for...(drum roll) nothing.

I suppose I should wake up one of these days. I have so much fun playing games with people, but I like co-operative games, and MMO's are just milk-farms that keep bored people occupied (not necessarily having fun). I fall for it over and over again, but I fall out of it over and over again. I get into the endless inquiry of 'what in the fuck am I powerful for? They're just going to release some stupid ass dungeon that gets me even better gear for nothing later on...'. It's like DnD only there can be an end to DnD, wow is a cash cow that just keeps on giving, why end it?

Anywho, this cycle is just ongoing for me. Draw for a long time, need a break, hit mmorpg, get tired of mmorpg, go back to art.



So, about that super bowl. People are calling it the most exciting super bowl of all time. Lets face 2 truths 1) if your team wasn't in it the excitement wasn't there 2) I'd rather see two teams make no mistakes in a close game. Cardinals called for 45 years worth of fouls in a row? Come on, that's not epic, it's stupid. I expect two powerful teams that make little or no mistakes to provide a virtual blood-bath setting for yardage. Instead we have mistakes all over the board for both teams. At some point during that 100-yard interception return I could actually hear the fucking circus music in my head. Granted - there where excellent plays, but I partially expected bumper-cars to come out during half-time.

Ah well the steelers won, made history on several counts, and we're going to be creeping up on baseball season soon (otherwise known as 'jesus so boring but what a great excuse to milk a six pack for a few hours').

I know it seems like such a rant journal. I guess it kind of is, but I don't feel as scathing as the words may read. Just bullshittin' y'know? ^_^

Have a great weekend. Go forth, and conquer.

Well first, sorry about the coming out of the closet journal. I like to joke around sometimes, but I think I (very irresponsibly) poked fun in an inappropriate way. I love ya guys, really I do.

In either case. Plans for the artist future...uhm. I've seen some improvement over the past year or two. I thought for a while there I had reached a plateau. I think I can still improve, but as I continue drawing I feel myself very irritated, or perhaps, fed up with the methods I use for coloring and line work.

I used photoshop for perhaps the first time in months a few days ago. The inking was easy, but I found the coloring to be mind-numbing. Perhaps, my real problem, is that I do not possess the time to do things as intricately as I'd like to. What does this have to do with artist plans? Oh quite a few things! I'm sure, as some of you know - who are working on, and are still working on improving themselves artistically, you always know what aspect of your art that you'd like to improve, and the list is usually vast in your mind. I will simply say the plan is to improve, and the feats are many.

Also I will continue the 'shorties get laid' series throughout February. The quality of each picture will vary - but if I can finish them all I'll be happy. The reindeer project didn't see the end of the tunnel in December, unfortunately there are, what, 18 of them to draw? Oh jesus. I've considered the huge orgy picture that could come of it. I think the epicness and time consumption of it all scared me off.

I still want to do a 'draw your character' series and 'characters of people I admired or inspired me to draw'. I've also thought about the chance of a 'wig' series. Which seems really strange in some respect. As ya'll know I don't draw a great deal of hair on my ladies or guys so it'll give me a chance to make up the girls and instill a little 'diva' into them.

Artist stats that nobody cares about (irl stuff): I'm up for promotion at work (again!). This promotion could take me into management. Which means more money for less work (lulz, fucking management). Which means moving, which means possibly going to a con this year and the next, which means meeting people :). It's all pretty exciting really. I've also got this huge bug up my ass to go buy some canvas and oil and make some porny furry oil paintings. I hate the fact that thinking about doing it gets me excited about it. But then I think about my works of art ending up in some persons garbage or a fire because of the nature of the painting.

I guess that's what makes being an artist who draws 'porny' type things difficult. Shut-ins and fuckoffs are quick to label your art as smut, yet the skill required to do it is no less than that involved in making something for the 'care-bear' audience. I guess I'll let the professionals stick to ripping off the rich with squares and trapezoids, I'm content with enjoying this corner of the internet.

What else? Oh I think I've rambled enough. Maybe I should change the title to 'kind of stupid, definately pointless, thank you for reading, and so on' :).

Aight, I'm on my second 10 degrees below ... http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1397/33809 and I'm not able to sleep at the moment.

So, I'm going to RAMBLE. YES!

Though I must admit there's nothing much to ramble about. Been busy working and when I'm not working I've been gaming or drawing. I'm doing nothing but reindeer this month - though while working tonight I had the idea of having them doing ridiculous things and now I cannot recall those things.

I've pretty much downloaded all the itunes songs I will ever need. Though I have to say that iTunes needs to fucking add Turmion Katilot to their selection. Hell I was able to get Bulldog Mansion (which I must say was astonishing). My next target for buying may be english Opera. ... Don't look at me like that. I was cruising in my car one day down the road and this awesome ass english opera was on the radio - I could understand the words and story. I was enthralled. I will also be looking for cool stuff that involves violins. I'm in love with that instrument and what it is capable of.

Speaking of which. I need good songs to download. What do you like? I'll check them out.

Also I've been playing more left 4 dead lately and though I've been enjoying the game, the 4 campaign pack is a little thin. Adding alternate routes would have gone a long way to really spruce things up. I really hope people out there with the talent mod the SHIT out of this thing with new campaign. I think it would be cool as hell to have a zombie colleseum map or something.

Last boring factiod: The mystery science theater 3000 20th anniversary set is fucking awesome. I've watched them all like 5 times or more each ;_; so pathetic. Oh! here's another strange one, you folks from down south will love this. The first EVER Carls Jr. opened up up here. It got rave reviews from a friend of mine, but another 2 or 3 said it was gross. It's hard to trust them though, they don't have a cast iron stomach like some of us ^__^.

Anywho, draw boobs for me ^_^!

Toph

And I fucking hate it.

I didn't want a Mii, thanks anyway Microsoft. Why the fuck are all my gaming functions on the home button now? So updating the dashboard means 'putting the old dashboard on the home button - while replacing the old one with a stupid wii channel rip off?'.

Oh no you did NOT just diss my wii Topher. Yes. Yes I did. My wii is currently collecting an accumulation of dust in my closet - I figure if I shell out $400 for a console and games, it gives me the right to be dissatisfied.

Anywho, back to the subject. Microsoft - give me an option to turn this new dashboard off. KK thx la~. Back to dead space :D

So I was sick for about 4 days, completely sucking the energy out of my weekend and cock-blocking any art that was going to happen. My temp went from 101.3 to 102, 104, 103.8, and finally leveled out again at 96.

Unfortunately I got cold sores all over my mouth because of the fever and it's going to take a while to heal.

I have one opinion on the presidential election - in case you care. Here it is: It doesn't excite me. I don't care who wins, unless I see fucking results, there is no cause for celebration.

In other news I hope to get some bday gifts done this weekend. I'm playing through both Fable 2 and Sonic: the Dark Brotherhood - both of which I am really happy with. I intend to pick up GoW2 and Fallout3 soon too.

Wrath of the lich king comes out soon for those of you still playing wow, which is to say, 90% of you :P. I've been on and off casually, the 10 man raid thing is GREAT for casual players like myself. Likely though - if you're a die-hard-mmorpg-nutcase then this content threatens and disappoints you. In a way it disappoints me. I remember one of my favorite mmorpg memories ever was killing Rallos Zek the Warlord in EQ1 with 75 people. Then in wow we cleared MC, BWL, and AQ 40 (I mostly skipped bc). Now it's cut to 10 people, does that feel epic? Arthas was a badass in wc3, it disappoints me that he may be 10 manned.

I thought of a new storyline and reason for Shadow Link in the Zelda universe. I thought it was creative and I shared it with Shaw. Shaw found the actual write-up and reasons for shadow/dark link. Without saying what it is I want to say mine is BETTER in many ways. Nintendo's description might as well be 'shadows appear to wreak havoc, then in one game turn good to help you, lol lore'.

I got the mystery science theater 3000 20th anniversary collection tin from over at amazon. I'm so glad they changed the host to Mike. I like him much more than Joel. Laser Blast is probably my favorite of all 4 discs (the guys lines are greaaaaaaaat).

I think that's all I got tonight. Oh yeah, kung fu panda and wall e come out on dvd this month, horton hears a who comes out in early december :D, I can't wait for those.

Temperature of 101.3

:( godammit

Hey guys. :D

In this journal we will cover some wonderful aspect of the yearly cycle. Birthdays!

October 23rd was my bday and I turned...OLD. fuck you, I'm not telling what my age is (28).

Anywho, We're having the party this weekend since my night hours make a regular day celebration hard :). I haven't received any gifts from the folks at home, but the folks on my home away from home (the internet) have been very kind this year.

I feel like an ass when I get gifts, mostly cause I'm just a normal person so the expression of friendship is deeply touching. I want to share with you guys some of these awesome gifts.

from  bondagekitty we have the Topher dolls which is FUCKING RAD
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1644662/

from  portzebie a mix for the evil bunny himself. Think knife meets guts and you'll end up loving it like I do > : ). PS: the people at work thought it was weird to receive music from a guy friend...I think they're strange D:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1653730/

from  shaw a really funny comic about my bday :) I have been showing this to everybody that I can. I think in reality all of this would lead to shaw getting his ass kicked, but I mean that lovingly.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1652078/

From  sonicdash a fucking aaawesome rendition of Avy. Back off ya'll, I already fapped to it, I have the footage to prove it! ehhe XD
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1653227/

I also received some sketch work from  Janks and well wishes and happy birthdays from several of you (I tried to say thank you as much as possible).

You guys are the best. ALL OF YOU.

<3 Toph~

(I'm sorry if I forgot anybody...I didn't mean to D: )

http://www.everettsausagefest.com/

This thing is going down like, 10 miles away from my house.

I never thought they'd have an actual 'sausage fest'. Lads take your twink-hunting equipment and hope for the best. Ladies ready yourself for scores of man meat.

SAUSAGE FESTIVALS ARE REAL

I like series ideas. Gives me something to focus on.

I suppose I should be focusing on broadening my horizons or some other shit that equates to the artists never-ending search for self-affirmation.
Naw I think I'll just draw what I enjoy.

So anyway, scratch Bowler Hats (ha, the robinsons), and socks (that was a good series) off the list. Here is a list of tentative series subjects.

1) Ass (already working on this one).
2) Couples
3) Close-ups
4) Males
5) Missionary (this would be an interesting way to explore head positions and facial expressions).
6) Clothing (this would probably be a boring series as I'd use it to closer study fashion, I only kind of grasp it, but I can see Nova in a cute Rave outfit or something).
7) Other people's characters (oh man, it would be SO hard to get volunteers for this *sargasm* kekeke gasm).
8) Characters from artists that I like.

Anywho that's all I got for now, I wanted to get those typed out before I forgot. Some of them may or may not happen, and there could be any number of pictures for any series (depending on how much I like the series).

Have a good weekend.

Well that should just about do it.

Went through the past 500 watchers and watched back and stuff. I really don't want to copy pasta 'thanks fer watchin ya'll' that many times so here is a global thank you journal.

Thank you ^__^. Pretty cool to go through the watchers and scope out their art (this makes the process take a long long time).

Well, I'm off to work yet again (goddamnit > : ( )

Many hugs,

~Toph

~~TANGENT END~~

Back on course.

I have been having a tough time at work lately. The boss seems to be very hostile toward me and it makes me uncomfortable. Let me clarify. This bitch is middle management. One-dimensional, self-centered, and horrible at leading. I do nothing but say 'yes ma'am' to her, or 'whatever you want'. I work all night for the 8 hour shift. She treats me like shit the whole time. We have a new Supervisor coming in that's her boss, I'm still on probation at this place for another month and a half, so I'm worried that she may be poisoning the mind of this new woman with things that aren't true. I already know that she's vengeful. She has told me multiple times that she wants to fire this person or that person.

It's creating a lot of undue stress for me. Add on top of that, that I have been working with another crew lately to finish up her projects, because basically she doesn't do a good job, and they have decided to take all her assignments away from her. We have been cleaning for the past 4 weeks, and she has done nothing. It's driving me insane. She takes 30 minute breaks instead of 15, she takes an hour instead a half at lunch. All of that and she seems to be hellbent to catch me screwing around?

I love my job. It's easy work for great pay. I want to keep my job so that I can go back to college and finish up my bachelors. The market right now for getting a job sucks balls, and I really don't want to add 'fired' to my list of recent experience. I think one more night of this nonsense and I'll be going over her head to the supervisor to talk about her attitude.

On the art side of things. You may have noticed that updates have been more sparse. There's a reason for that. I like waiting for the weekends to draw with the usual crew, and I've hit a kind of wall artistically. That's not to say it's art block. I don't have too much of a problem drawing what I want to. I think I'm burned out on the medium though. Open Canvas is an aging program. I would pay good money for a new program with more features, that had networking. With the insane amount of OC's I see on FA and DA...it boggles the mind how some 'genius' has not come along and thought ot himself 'holy shit, I want to tap that market!'.

I'd easilly pay 60 dollars for such a program (oh my god Topher, that's not a lot). Please, 60 is reasonable for a networked drawing program. I won't pay 500. In most cases we're talking about people who just oc for fun, they're not going to spend assloads on it.

I desire to draw my existing characters more often. I tend to just keep creating different characters cause it's interesting and new, but I need to settle down and take a look at what I have right now. Other people draw characters that have some kind of appeal that make them long-lasting viewer favorites. I'm not so sure I have that. I don't know if it's because I skip around alot, if my art is just getting worse, or if I'm just a presumptuous asshole that scares people off. I may just be suffering from 'I've seen it so many times, it's old news to me' syndrome. Who knows.

With that said I had an idea for a new character at work. I want to call her 'wrapper' and she's got the colors of a bubble gum wrapper (pink, yellow, and some blue). Species? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....something interesting? A lemur perhaps? A cow maybe? They chew they're cud, kinda looks like gum...bah. I know, I'll be completely original and make her a rabbit. Shit...

I'll go and contemplate this conundrum. You guys have a good week.

~Toph

Loads to post.

If you can't wait for me to get back from work though www.furryartpile.com/user/lapinstein

Movie: Wall E

Synopsis: No - spoilers fucking suck.

Review: Profoundly Epic. Proof that the art of theater and storytelling is well preserved at the offices of Pixar. Lavished praise for this company is not enough, my only regret is that I am not a 12 year old that can say 'I grew up on pixar, I love them'. Instead I'm forced to say 'I'm 27 years old and Pixar has once again rocked me to the core'.

See it. The message of this movie is so powerful that it is conveyed by robots that do not speak words. The story is told without the interruption of dialogue to guide you through it, rather it is presented, and a part of your soul clings to it like adhesive. The ride is wonderful all the way through.

<3 <3 <3 <3 Pixar <3 <3 <3 <3

Well I'm all sorts of pissed off today. So to remind me of how I should keep my cool and aspire not to lower myself to the level of those that try to drag me down to theres, I present to you and myself the words of Einstein.

The wisdom of Einstein:

Knowledge: The Search for the truth and Knowledge is one of the finest attributes of a man, though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.



Authority: To punish me for my contempt of authority, fate has made me an authority myself.



Truth: It is difficult to say what truth is, but sometimes it is easy to recognize a falsehood.



Cooperation: A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer lives are based on the labors of other people, living and dead and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.



Wisdom: Wisdom is not a product of schooling, but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.



Greatness: There is only one road to human greatness: through the school of hard knocks.



Happiness: A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.



Fame: With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.



Life: Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.



Ageing: I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to.



Praise: The only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working.



Problems: Fear or stupidity has always been the basis of most human actions.



Relativity: An hour sitting with a pretty girl on a park bench passes like a minute, but a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour.



Goals: One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can barely achieve through one's greatest efforts.



Racism: The only remedies against race and prejudice are enlightenment and education. This is a slow and painstaking process.



Solitude: I lived in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.



Value: Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.



Imagination: When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute knowledge

Take this wisdom and hold it to your heart like a badge, there is a lot of truth there.

Aight, off to work ^__^

I just received the most awesome thing on Monday.

What is it?

All 4 volumes of the original Batman Animated Series - that they used to show on fox back in the early 90's.

If you don't remember it, maybe the intro will spark your memory or peak your interest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEx9r5enZsk .

Anyway I've been watching them every day this week, so much kick-ass in every dvd XD. Now...if any of you have an Animated/Anime series that you really like that's worth picking up - let me know, I'll be expanding my dvd collection in the next few months. It would seem that dvd is being shoved out the door as quickly as possible (the price drops are hard to deny), so I'm taking advantage and getting everything I like. Now...if only mystery science theater would drop in price D:.

I've also been trying to beat all the challenges in Contra 4 on my DS lately. I have beat 32 of them so far. The game itself beats my ass, I haven't beat it on normal - I haven't made it past level 2 on normal. Though I did beat it on easy (yay me).

Saw Kung Fu panda over the weekend. Despite it's average score of about 3 stars...I think it was worthy of more stars (please furries: Lets not jump too hastily on the Sexy big panda girl doing kung fu bandwagon pictures. Well, what in the fuck are you waiting for? jump on!). I also liked Indiana Jones a lot despite all the pissing and moaning from the peanut gallery that we call 'movie reviewers'. Trust me on this folks, take any film class, and more than likely your teacher will be an elitist asshole that lost all love for movies long ago when he decided it stopped being an art.

What else? Uhm...well nothing. Bought a new Ipod - lovin' it. Gots mah AMV hell 4 on et and I watch it during my breaks at work http://amvhell.com/ . Coincidentally the director of the AMV hells went to my college and we met during a graphics class. Pretty cool guy ^__^.

I think that's all I got...as you can probably tell I'm just typing whatever comes to mind first. Oh yeah...Harley Quinn...she's hot - did I mention that above? Furry version imminent. No I don't care about burning in hell for it - places of fantasy rarely scare me, lest it's a dungeon I've imagined where I face all of those that I cannot stand.

Toodles.

See my secretary to collect. If you do not have the equipment to receive a blowjob - step into my office where a cunning linguist will translate your carnal desires into an official docket that you can send in at a later date for a free tongue lashing from the person of your choosing.

Anyway, just logged in to 20,007 views.

Amazing. I love the furry community. Thanks guys.

PS. Saw Iron Man today - fantastic.

PPS. Bought new ipod - also fantastic.

P(x2)S. AMV hell 4 during the stupid ass previews in a movie theater on the new ipod is epic.

P(x3)S. Commissions almost...done? OMG

PMS. Something random - and better than the new speed racer flop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VboNiVrtZs8

TA~

I'm overdue considering how often they clog my journal box D:.

5 things I own:

Name a CD you own that none of your friends have.

100% pure fun - Mathew Sweet

Name a book you own that none of your friends have.

The Animist - Eve Forward

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that none of your friends have.

A signed copy of the Angry Video Game Nerd Season One.

Name a place that you have visited that none of your friends have.

There are tons of places i've visited in my imagination that they will never go :0). If you're talking physical places though I've been to Hawaii and I lived there.

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think none of your friends own.

I own a dreamcast.

Now tag 5 people:

Only if I can touch their asses when I do it. Come here tender cheeks...I will touch you...

...

*opens spirited away dvd case*

WTF, where's the feature disk?!

I don't know who stole it but I hope you're happy! Now I'm going to have to watch Nausicaa...oh wait that's awesome. Thanks.

Hey guys,

I'm gunna go crash now.
