So I was supposed to go check out a car with my dad yesterday, and possibly purchase said car. Yeah, well, that didn't happen. This is like the fifth damn time I have been told we are going to look at this car and had it changed. Well, he promised we'll take it for a test drive "Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday." Mind you I'm paying for the heap of junk myself, but luckily he's managed to get his friend to lower the price to only $200 for like an $800 car.

Got on Skype with miss_bushido  around 9 last night and watched Anchorman together, which was predictably hilarious. Basically the whole time we said the lines along with the actors. I believe there was some talk of JEH's sexiness, but this is to be expected. Afterwards, RP'd with her for awhile, adding to our already giant log of awesome and rainbows, but went to bed around 1 because I had to get up within the next six hours for tennis practice. Also she sent me the new Muse song "Uprising" which is made of awesome and has been played on repeat numerous times already.

Speaking of which, practice sucked today. I was hitting great but was forced to play with one of the JV girls, which was no problem in and of itself, but this particular underclassman is an intolerable bitch. Basically she couldn't return any of my hits and got pissy with me because of it and refused to even try anymore, even when I started hitting her easy shots that she should be able to return with no problem. Coach ended up taking her to the side over her attitude but then bitched at me for my "negative attitute." What the FUCK!? I was being extremely patient with this girl! You would expect a sophomore would be able to handle an older player being better than her but NO, bitch just had to get emo about it.

Watched "The Amazing Screw-On Head" pilot when I got home which was AMAZING but only served to anger me since it wasn't picked up. Come on! It had David Hyde Pierce as King Zombie! WHAT MORE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT!? Also, it originated in the Hellboy comic and is just the bomb. So, there.

Currently listening to MC Frontalot. Am I the only one who loves him ridiculous amounts? I don't typically like rap, but damn it this is NERDCORE RAP AND IT IS AWESOME.

Going out for dinner tonight, then doing a job search because I need money desperately. Financing the lifestyle of a nerd isn't easy, people, especially when your income is supplemented only by random Babysitting jobs.

For all those JEH fans out there, go listen to World Peache Through Jackie Earle Haley RIGHT NOW. It's an amazing podcast by the fans, for the fans, with two episodes up so far. A lot of Watchmen fans are involved, so go CHECK IT OUT!


Daniel obviously approves.

-Leave me a comment with "SRS BZNS - WHERE'S MY MARGARITA" in the subject line.
-I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
-Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
-Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

miss_bushido  asked me:

1. What is your favourite book of all time?
Oh shit this is a tough one. I've never been very good at choosing, since I'm a rather prolific reader and therefor have a lot of great books to choose from. I guess it would come down to either Brave New World by Aldous Huxley or Lolita by Vladimir Nabokav. Or several other hundred FFFFFFFFFFFF I am terrible at choosing favorites.

2. Who would win in a fight? Ozy or Chuck Norris?
Damn. Once again you back me into a corner with your awesome questions. Alright, I would say Chuck Norris, because he would come up with some epic strategy by exploiting Ozy's love for little boys. Or maybe he would distract him by messing up his hair. Little boys and his hair; Ozy's only two true weaknesses. Chuck Norris' weaknesses? None. UNLESS YOU COUNT NOT HAVING A WEAKNESS A WEAKNESS IN WHICH CASE THIS GOES INTO SOME KIND OF EXPONENTIALLY EXPANDING LOOP.

3. What's one food you could eat the rest of your life?
Lasagna. It's like so good that it's... It's the food version of ambrosia. Or something like that.

4. Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Well, I love both because I am a sap for pretty much all animals. I'd have to say dogs though, because a) they are pretty much always loveable whereas cats get in bitchy moods a lot, b) they are more enjoyable to cuddle, especially big dogs, and c) I am allergic to cats so it kind of puts a damper on actually having one. I still snuggle my friends' cats everytime I see one though. I then proceed to get snot everywhere but hey, whatever man.

5. How many places have you lived in your life?
States: 1, cities: 2, houses: 5.

---------------------------------------------------

1. Reply to this post requesting a letter, and I will assign you one.
2. List (and upload, if you want) 10 songs that start with that particular letter.
3. Post them in your journal with these instructions.

miss_bushido gave me: 'M"

1) Martha my Dear- The Beatles
2) Mrs. Robinson- Simon and Garfunkel
3) Molly's Chambers- Kings of Leon
4) My Name is Jonas- Weezer
5) Morning Glory- Oasis
6) Man of Constant Sorrow- Soggy Bottom Boys
7) Master Swarm- Andrew Bird
8) My Wife's Home Town- Bob Dylan
9) Medication- Modest Mouse
10) Megalomaniac- Muse
-------------------------------------------------

Not much to say to y'all other than I went and bought League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century:1910 which was the last volume of LoEG I didn't own. Well guess what? NOW I DO. Also bought a Dostoevsky book.

Won't be on AIM or the like tonight, actually going to bed soon because I have tennis conditioning tomorrow followed by a game of golf. (Sorry Megs, our RP of epicness will have to continue some other night D8. ILU BB.) Going to check up on my f!list, play some video games, and then crash most likely. I LOVE YOU ALL THOUGH!

Also, happy belated birthday to jimdimitri who is one GQMF. ILU BB NEVAH CHANGE. If anyone somehow missed the shit comic I sketched for her present, you can see it under the cut. Warning: contains violence perpetrated on hippies and also shitty scanner work.

CLICK TO EN-BIGGEN (yes that is a word shut up)

( UNDER HERE YOU SILLY BITCH )

Finally got my damn scanner to work. This involved turning the overhead light on and holding a fucking lamp directly next to the scanner while holding the lid of the scanner up about an inch. It was complicated and I nearly dropped the lamp attempting to move the mouse and select the appropriate options at the same time as I held the fucking scanner open. Conclusion? I HAVE ONE GHETTO ASS SCANNER. No arts for y'all yet though, only have the rough sketch, (aka I haven't actually DONE anything with it now that it's on my computer.)

Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know that I'm likely to be missing for a couple of days due to being extremely busy. Friends, tennis, work, etc. So please, when I don't get on AIM or comment your posts or w/e do not begin crying and carving my name into your arm, I WILL BE BACK. I PROMISE.

Going now to eat dinner and then hang out with friends all night. Also will attempt to get jimdimitri's birthday present done soon, (ILU BB!)

Oh before I forget, anyone have any comic recommendations? I'm kind of either finished with everything I was reading or waiting for the next issue/volume. Going into nerd withdrawals you guys, srsly.



LATAH BITCHES

I am in a terrible mood. I am in a terrible mood because my scanner is STILL refusing to scan things. It starts out alright and about the first 1/8th of the picture is scanned. But then, it starts making this horrible rumbling noise and the rest of the picture comes out a smushed blur. This is an old scanner and I really need a new one but, damn it, I HAVE TOO MANY OTHER THINGS TO FOCUS MY MONEY ON RIGHT NOW.

Anyways, what I was trying to scan was a Dan/Ror pic I drew while miss_bushido and I were RP'ing. It actually came out halfway decent so I was hoping to get it on the home computer and at the very least do the line work for it. But, no, of COURSE my scanner decides to curl up and die when I finally half something that won't cause your retinas to bleed.

I guess I really should be working on this backview of Rorschach that I started god knows how long ago. So far all I have done is the lineart and the base colors, so I still have quite a bit of shading and texturing to do before it stops looking like shit. Here's what's done so far so that you can all pity me and my limited artistic abilities;
( Attempt at fanart below the cut )
Also I need to fix the fack that he is tilted to the side. Pretty sure I scanned the original sketch crooked or something because, uh... Well it didn't look like that before.

Might post some more sketches later. Currently running on all of about 3 and a half hours of sleep due to the fact that Megs and I have been staying up talking all night the past... What, like three nights? Either way, FUCK I AM TIRED.

A fic update; I'm currently working on another Watchmen fic which should be done and posted sometime by the end of the week. I'm having a bit of a rough time with the structure, but I promise you guys I'll have it up shortly!

A request to my artist friends; do you guys know of any good textures or brushes, preferably for GIMP? I've been messing around on there lately and can't seem to find anything decent to use to add a bit of grittiness to the skin and clothing. Links to the downloads are much appreciated!

Alright, so here are some lulzy re-cut movie comics from the International Society of Supervillains for your viewing pleasure, to make up for this lame post.

( Some lulzy comics and some book reviews )

Title of today's post involves a conversation I was having with miss_bushido , and basically sums it up; sometimes I have actually failed so hard I ended up winning.

Anyways, here's a meme;

List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Walk Away- Franz Ferdinand
2. Killer Queen- Queen
3. Right Round- Flo Rida
4. Creature of the Night- Rocky Horror Picture Show
5. Sabotage- Beastie Boys
6. White Light- Gorillaz
7. Stronger- Kanye West

I tag; jimdimitri , okypete_harpy , piratehatter , banditjoeykuba , blackmetalfang , runninglonely  and geekinthepink56 . I'm aware I don't talk much to several of you but STFU I WANT TO KNOW MY F!LIST BETTER.

Also, I blame #3 on miss_bushido who insisted it was a great song to listen to while we participated in our epic Dan/Ror RP and GOD DAMN IT I NOW AGREE SFLJFDLJDLFJLF. And as for #7 I typically fucking hate Kanye West's pompous attitude and music but my friend made me listen to this and I can't stop! I blame the fact he used Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk which is a song I love.

In other news, I have another Dan/Rorschach fic in the works because... Well because I said so. Unfortunately or fortunately, (depending on how you look at it,) it's a shameless PWP because I'm on a porn kick. Also have some drawings I'll be posting, (only a few are Dan/Ror, but the rest are still Watchmen fandom.) I've had most of them done for a long time but I tend to get discouraged because GOD DAMN we have some amazing artists in this fandom! Of course I'm not terrible and that's a retarded selfish excuse. No more me being a whiny little bitch.

Also I've developed a habit of yelling at the neighbor kids to "Get off my damn lawn." SInce when do I even call my yard a lawn? And since when am I a lonely 80 year old man in bifocals, bitter at the world for leaving him in it's wake?

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

miss_bushido  (ILU BB,) Gave me;
Cillian Murphy
Watchmen
Batman
The phrase "Por QUEEEEE?!"
Scrubs

Cillian Murphy:
One of my favorite actors, particularly for his roles in Batman Begins and Breakfast on Pluto, (lol cross-dressing. Good times, good times.) I've seen a good deal, (if not all,) of the movies he's appeared in because a) He is kind of creepy in most of his roles and b) Despite the creepiness he is god damned SEXY. I love his eyes. They're like... Like bottomless pits of ice, I don't even know dude. My current default icon also features him flipping the bird which is pretty awesome and makes me look rude even when I post nice comments. YAY!

Watchmen:
Probably the fandom I'm most active in and the only one I've ever posted fic for. I first read the graphic novel about two and a half years ago, instantly falling in love with the character depth and dark psychological themes, along with the fact that it was written by Alan Moore, (he is fucking insane but I own most of the work he's done in the comic industry. Also I suspect Elvis is still alive because he got lost IN ALAN MOORE'S BEARD.) I never got into the fandom until I heard about the film that was set to come out, realizing it would be a good time since there would be an influx of fic, art, and new members, (which is sometimes a negative, but in this case most everyone in the fandom is awesome.) It's also how I met jimdimitri  and miss_bushido  who are totally bad ass and stuff, (I J.I.M.P. EVERY TIME I TALK TO YOU GUYS LOL.) I have several ships in this fandom although I've only ever written fic for Dan/Rorschach which is my OTP because I suck dicks etc.

Batman:
The first fandom I was ever active in, although I mostly just sit around and discuss things rather than writing fic or doing art. batman_lulz  is probably the only comm I pay much attention to anymore, being that there is a difficulty to sort out the good fic and art from the shit that cropped up after TDK came out. Oh well, lulz are the best part of fandom anyways! My love for the Batman franchise started when I began reading the comics when I was younger, along with watching B;TAS which is arguably one of the best superhero cartoons. I've read/collected most of the better known graphic novels a long with more obscure issues of the comic. When the newest incarnation of the film franchise came out I was enthralled, immediately falling for Nolan's take on my childhood hero. Subsequently, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are two of my favorite films, (SURPRISE SURPRISE AMIRITE.)

The phrase "Por QUEEEEEEE!?"
Well, the obvious is that por_queeee  is my screen name. But I'm sure you're saying to yourselves, "BUT POR!  WHY IS THAT YOUR SN?" Well, mainly because it was a joke with one of my irl friends and I to randomly fall to my knees and scream "POR QUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE!?!" whenever I heard any news that could remotely be construed as negative. Typically he would answer, "porque, bitch." Because omg THERE ARE DIFFERENT FORMS OF POR QUE, WE ARE SO CLEVER.

Scrubs
It used to be one of my favorite shows, (I'm still a fan, just not quite as avid,) and I found the random humor really appealing. (I assume this is because I myself am a random person.) My favorite character was always Dr. Cox. I don't know why. Probably because I found his interactions with the other characters the most hilarious. Also, he was pretty hot *coughcoughwhosaidthat.*

I bring posters. Specifically, posters from the new Sherlock Holmes movie, in all of their glory;



To put it mildly, I'm very excited. Robert Downy Jr. is not exactly what I conjure up when I think of Holmes, but he's a wonderful actor and I'm sure he'll do the role justice, (the same goes for Jude Law.) I started reading the Sherlock Holmes books in 5th grade, and have since completed them all, (those penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that is. As I understand it there have been several authors since who have used the characters.) I can honestly say it's always been one of my favorite series, and I'm extremely excited to see it brought to the big screen; when I was younger I did see a film version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, but I don't remember much about that particular movie anymore besides what I already knew from the book.

In other news, it's FreakAngels Friday today. If you haven't started reading FreakAngels already, I highly suggest it. For starters, it's free, and updates with 6 pages each Friday. Not to mention it's written by the amazing Warren Ellis and drawn by Paul Duffield.

This made me laugh. "Later, Ye Bitches!" I feel like I should make an icon of this. Just because. It's from a webcomic called The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, which sounds completely retarded but is far from it. Basically, this dude is a doctor. <i>And</i> a ninja. A DOCTOR NINJA YOU GUYS. IT'S SO PERFECT. SO PERFECT AND HILARIOUS.

Well, that's all from me for now. Y'all can expect to see me on AIM, if I don't have your sn already go ahead and message me.

Also, a small meme, yanked from okypete_harpy who is one cool cat. (Listen to me, talking like some jazz person.)

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Until yesterday I was missing for, what, like a week? Well just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm back, my computer is officially fixed, and I apologize for my prolonged absence, (because when I miss friends posts I always feel guilty, damn it.) IT'S DIFFICULT HAVING A REAL LIFE AND AN E-LIFE AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH. Especially because I now have a job, I'm working on getting my license, and most of my friends were seniors this year and therefor I need to spend tons of time with them this summer before they forsake me for college. Anyways, I should be on fairly regularly again, once a day or so.

In other news, I came back to find that the mod of owlblot , known as thdarkestknight , decided to once again grace us with their presence. The amazingly html heavy speech she gave upon her return can be found here for those of you fortunate enough to miss it. I would sum it up as an enormous case of "tl;dr." The worst part? Some genius decided to post it over on /coq/, despite the fact that it's internetz drama, <i>not</i> porn. We're going through a serious drought of actual porn on /coq/ actually, so I entreaty everyone to go draw and/or write something up for us! We're an easy bunch to please, but I ask you leave the drama on lj.

I've been doing some sketches to help with my sense of anatomy, and I think I have a few Watchmen scribbles as well. Might scan that stuff and post it sometime next week if nobody objects to having their eyeballs raped.

Anywho, that's it for me for now! As soon as judging is done for the kinkmeme contest I'll be posting my entry, but other than that I don't currently have anything in the works.

banditjoeykuba always seems to get the coolest memes. Watch in wonder as I jump on the bandwagon!

Word Count: 1,761
Disclaimer: I do not own Watchmen or any related characters, etc. etc. etc.
Author Notes: This is a present for jimdimitri, because SHE FILLS MY LIFE WITH RAINBOOOOWSSSSS. She gave me a fluffy/cracky prompt so that I could write something non-angst filled for once. Be warned that POV switches a few times; also, this fic makes no sense but oh well.
Prompt: "Rorschach somehow becomes a kitten, or a small cat. Dan is nice to him, and hilarity/cuteness ensues! "
