Snake food belongs in the snake

We have a snake (a Red Tailed Boa Constrictor) at work, and once a week it eats three mice.
This week we got four mice because the snake's been growing and looking hungry.
The first mouse we put in managed to hide in the snake's tank for over an hour without getting eaten, while the snake finished off numbers 2 through 4. Pity ruled the day and I scooped the mouse out, named it "Pepita" and popped it to in an extra tank before I could think about the ramifications of my actions. Later I opened Pepita's tank to make friends, and she bit me. I threatened her with a return to the snake tank, but she must have known I wouldn't do it, because she didn't apologize.
Looking over at the snake, I imagined I could hear hissing laughter.
Hiss ha ha?

nude drawing class

I've been thinking I should improve my drawing skills. So Saturday I went to a nude drawing class, well, it's not really a class- it's just a naked woman posed and holding still so we can draw her. After about ten minutes and three quick sketches, I got really bored. And everything I drew looked like a cartoon. Maybe I draw cartoons because I don't have the Patience to draw long form classic art.
I also wouldn't have the patience to hold a pose for very long, I thought the poor woman would be lying down or something, but no, she was sitting. I get cramped up just thinking about it.
I'm pretty sure I won't be going back next week.

My plans for the day

Today, I am thinking about eating creamy cheese, but alas, I have no cheese.

also about STAR TREK

oh and also, Romulans do NOT believe in guardrails.

Star Trek reboot

I just saw the new Star Trek (2009) and there's only three things coming home with me.

1) Screw canon. Not really a problem, it's a reboot after all.
2) Did. NOT. Do. The. Research. Any. Research... At. ALL.
3) In the future no one can hold a camera study

Old photo from Halloween

BuruBuru

Buru Buru causes shivers BRRRR!
This is from halloween. The BuruBuru costume is the one I wore at Dragoncon. This is a better picture than the ones I got at Dragoncon though.

are things better in color?

I'm experimenting with adding color to the comic. I'm starting to figure out gimp. The worst is deciding on permanent hair colors for all the characters. The only hair color actually commented on in the comic is Sterling's. He's described as a "big blond" and blond covers a lot of shades, just ask Sweeney Todd, he sang a song about all the shades of blond!

comment box

I've been playing with the adorable desolation website. I just added a comment box, now I just need someone to read my comic and comment on it!

adorable desolation

problem fixed!

adorable desolation

google's not finding my webcomic, it WAS finding it and now it's not. aarg!
And the page shows up as a blank black page. Double aarg!

Adorable desolation to be on comic genesis

Ah, at last! I've gotten an email back from comic genesis and I should have my comic up and running in a week or so. Excitement abounds

adorable desolation is up

Adorable Desolation is the name of my webcomic. It's at "adorabledesolation.blogspot.com"

I only have a few pages up and I need to ink up more pages, but I have over one hundred pages of the story penciled.

I'm almost done with my little drawn story about a befuddled amnesiac running a magical gift shop. When I get over my nerves I may post it online. I'll need to select a title. I've been considering calling it "The Shop Clerk" or just "ShopClerk" or "Sunday in the park with ShopClerk"

Fantastic times. I went to dragoncon!!! and loved it ! I was in the parade as the yokai Buru Buru, and got tons of photos.
There was a concert by Arcattack (with the singing tesla coils), at the mad scientist's ball.
I will be posting the video soon on youtube.

I'm that good...

Maglor cooks!

Medieval outfit, I made this sideless surcote and coteharde

Not the best looking drumsticks.

If anyone knows what kind of chicken this is, give me a comment would you?

I know it's a type of bantam, but the owners think it's a little unusual looking.

So maybe it's a mutant of some kind.

Speaking of chickens...

We thought this one was a lawn ornament (he was so still and he had such pretty colors) until he started letting me know I was close enough.

An angry rooster can make such a ruckus.

SHARK

The award for the funniest movie made by my husband on youtube.com, goes to: "Shark, dead or alive" It traces the checkered, sometimes, sordid career of "Shark", the misunderstood actor who starred in so many of our favorite movies.

"Shark, dead or alive" is the sequel to the stunning acclaimed 15 sec remake of a scene from a certain shark eating people movie. uh...that's a shark that eats people... not people who eat sharks. Like in sashimi, not that sashimi isn't good mind you... it's just... it's, well, it's raw fish, you know? it's not cooked... and uh, what was I writing? That "Shark, dead or alive" is not about sashimi? Or maybe IT IS... bwahahaha bwahahaha....

Check out "Shark" then check out the sequel "Shark, dead or alive" on youtube.com . type "Shark, dead or alive" into whatever search box is offered, get more by this user (paraphrased, 'kay?)

This user is known as "The Weasel".

Trivia: the man in the old black & white photo is a genuine relative! (it sure runs in the family)

More trivia: and I helped!

These are some of the people I work with, they're dressed up for halloween by the way.
