Well, a hard-to-execute idea
So do I. The last one I saw
BLOG POST I regretted coming
I regretted coming in to school today. 8D *got soaked pants walking from the bus* To reward myself for that wet and miserable...ness, I got a white chocolate mocha. I think I deserved it. |D
My teacher was pretty late even. Whooo, weather!
Oh, but I used the hand dryer in the bathroom to dry my jeans.
...worked rather well.
Ooh! My class is going to see How to Train Your Dragon! 8D Might be next week.
Gonna have a few things in the animation show my school is having, so that's cool. =] Including the deer pushing an object I did last semester, and the recent Endless Forest flash. =D And there's gonna be popcorn. Epic.
...I think I wanted to write something else here but I can't remember. O.o
Gotta head to art history anyway (blah-ish), and I forgot to bring the textbook. |D; My bad.
*flees to class where she'll have to keep from falling asleep in the dark classroom*
BLOG POST/DEER STATUS *rushes
*rushes to finish eating* |D;;; Gimme a sec before I wake Bast please!
Huh, it says that post was
Takeshi wants to learn ninja
@Paz: Yea, I had to change
@Kaoori: XD We'll see.
EDIT: If Bast falls asleep, I'm distracted. |D
That's okay, I went afk for a
And, it seems I can now play in window mode, and run Firefox and MSN at the same time, without my computer crashing every ten minutes! So far so good, at least.
Yay. 8D Mine gives me the low
Oh, and I would say the two of them look cute curled up like they are...if it wasn't for Amary's face being melded into Bastilion's back. |D;
Yeah that's a little weird
BLOG POST/DEER STATUS We saw
We saw you there Lucian... =P
And now don't me (or Toukan) for now; this stuffed pepper is telling me to eat it.
He's a curious little fella
Wanted to try and copy all those adults their awesome game. Peacocking. Fails incredibly. But it's adorable to watch him try anyway.
Stuffed pepper? X"D Have fun with that!
XD; If he did succeed, it's
Oh, by the way, Virgil sat on Lucian's back. =P

*Glances Virgil*
You will suffer revenge.

Aww we didn't remember
I'll have to add you on msn once <3
I have a watchful eye. ;D AKA
Oh, he was asking that? |D Couldn't tell. And I don't think he'd be able to explain using Forest lingo either. 8D; (I plan to one day make a special blog post that shows what happened. But not until after the semester is over, or after I present senior thesis.)
MY INTERNET IS HAVING AN EVIL.
BLOG POST Looks like I gotta
Looks like I gotta go yell at some people at the university tomorrow since applying for graduation in May put a restriction on me so I can't register for the one summer art class I need in order to actually get a Bachelor of Fine Art degree. I'll have the right amount of credits, but not for a specific degree.
CONGRATS, WPU. YOU FAIL AGAIN. *stabs*
BLOG POST/DEER STATUS Spade
Spade (secretary bird pelt, real deer mask [which is NOT his face], kirin antlers [would be curled like a ram's]) is in the Forest for maybe another half hour. Then I should do some storyboard and/or Flash work.
I have limited time to do things today, since my university's animation show is tonight, and I need to be there. =] Catching the bus at 6:30.
*goes back to antics with this random fawn*
EDIT: IT'S 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT (32.2 C). DDD8 IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS HOT IN APRIL.
Wish me no melting? |D
D8 Lucky. It's 35 degrees
It's 35 degrees here and fluctuating between rain and snow.
DD8 THAT'S NOT NORMAL FOR
Wanna average them together so we can both has comfortable temperatures? 8D
BLOG POST So...I shall be
So...I shall be getting this computer a memory and graphics card upgrade tomorrow.
8D!
Excitement/OMGFWEEYAY!! aside...
I need to figure out what a decent graphics card to get would be, without it costing an arm and a leg.
Currently, this machine sports an ATI Radeon x600. A lower-end graphics card nowadays, but not a bad one, as TEF runs ok on it (~14-16 fps with character detail at medium and shadows off) when there aren't a ton of deer on the screen.
But coupled with this machine having only 512MB of RAM that I'll be increasing by at least 1GB, it couldn't hurt to go for a better card.
It's over 3 1/2 years old after all.
So...anyone who knows enough about computers and who happens to be reading this have an idea of a better card than I currently have? Even just suggesting ones so I can look up the price on my own is fine.
(I'm hoping the graphics card I decide on won't be more than $100, as it is my dad who will be spending money, and I hate asking for expensive things. I already feel guilty when I need to beg for money...)
And should I post this as a separate blog? I don't usually post such non-TEF subjects in new blogs... I may post it on the forum though.
In art-related things...
I can't wait to finish my current Flash project.
Get your forks ready!
BLOG POST/DEER STATUS Ahh,
Ahh, the smell of new technology...
I am no longer running on 512MB of RAM and a Radeon x600 512MB HyperMemory.
I am now running on 2.5GB of RAM and a Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1GB DDR2.
Not the exact graphics card I wanted, as they didn't have it at BestBuy, but still a good one I was told.
But whatever. Programs are opening and closing faster, I can multi-task like crazy (where before if I had TEF and Firefox open, I'd get "Virtual Memory Minimum too low"), and everything's just generally a lot smoother.
I has a satisfied. 8]
Though it amuses me how the dude at the store Googled my computer to get the specs. XD
GOOGLED.
Which he wouldn't've had to if the dude at the GeekSquad counter had returned the papers I had from when we bought this machine that listed all the details... >> WTH GeekSquad? Wish I'd noticed before walking away from the counter. |D Eh, that's eagerness for you.
I still won't run TEF with Procaster since it does still slow down some and I don't want the processor to go asplode...but at least I can multi-task in other ways. Maybe now I'll work on my storyboard more. |D
And was that Dag I saw running around naked? O.o (EDIT: Might actually just be a really similar picto.)
GIANT BUNNY. *watches it circle Toukan then leave*
BLOG POST Gonna notice a lack
Gonna notice a lack of my deer in the Forest for awhile. At least until I finish my senior thesis storyboard panels...
I've basically reached the, "WHERE'D ALL THE TIME GO??? DDDDD8 *PANIC*" point of this.
But I might be streaming my progress. We'll see.
I'm tempted to try using the mic later. |D
xD Time flies quickly when
Good luck with the senior thesis =D You'll do great. :>
Thanks, I'll probably need it
BLOG POST How to Train Your
How to Train Your Dragon was EPIC.
I already thought Toothless was cute. Now I like him even more. 8D And I finally understand why he has that name. XD; Heck, all their weird names make sense now.
Definitely would be worth seeing again if possible.
And if you haven't seen it yet?
Do so. You won't regret it.
After that (which counted as a class for me; perks of 3D animation class), my friend that I dragged along cuz she wanted to see the movie too (and also drove |D) and I headed to Dunkin Donuts. Got coffee milkshakes and I tried one of their jalapeno cheddar bagel twists. Not bad. And yes, take the "jalapeno" part seriously. IT BURNED. But still good.
...I smell like it now.
I should update the senior thesis section again, and get to working on more panels. Wanna get these done over the weekend.
Oh yea, the middle mouse button on the school computer I use in class seems to have crapped out (LIKE MY MOUSE AT HOME IS 8D; ), so...ffff? Kinda need that button when using Maya. |D Guess I'll blame the fact that those computers are getting old. Heck, they were there when I started using Maya 2 year ago.
And NOW I'm off.
To check messages on here.
Then panels.
I HAVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE
But I have no one to go with. ;-;
D=! *teleports?* |D I saw it
I saw it in 3D. Didn't help that I had a bit of a headache going into the theatre. 3D made it worse. 8D; But still worth it.
hopefully I can see it with
BLOG POST Should I be
Should I be worried that my right eye seems like it has a film over it? 8D;
No, but seriously...I really do feel like a machine right now. 11 panels in less than 12 hours. Less than 11 hours even. O_o I know I'm able to reuse parts from other panels and all, but...still.
It's gonna be so weird when I'm done. I won't know what to do with myself. |D
Guess then I'll start on this long idea I've had in my head for literally months but couldn't do because..it's a long idea. |D
Though I do have a few things I need to write afterwords. Ick.
....I was supposed to be keeping a progress journal of what I've been doing on this project each day. Oops? |D
I GET TO BULLSHIT. YAY.*adds on to her break by getting sustenance*
BLOG POST/DEER
STORYBOARD DONE.
I AM HAPPY.
8D
Yay! Congrats!
I was DYING at Scape and his
@VCG: Thanks.
@Rainflower: XD I couldn't resist. Surprised no one else did that.
How did you do that, anyway?
I just opened TEF again. =]
Hm, I'll have to try that
I use Vista, but it seems to connect just fine, although there is a good bit of lag.
BLOG POST Something may
Something may happen soon, and someone won't like it...
8'D Side note: I do intend to
|D Let's hope I find time
BLOG POST Y'know, if there's
Y'know, if there's one thing I hate, it's hypocrites. I also dislike people who can't stick to agreements and/or lie about things.
You know who you are.
And if I hear about a certain friendship ending, I will be displeased.
And I will cry since enough friendships have been damaged.
Keep your opinions about your friends. Remember they're your friends. And don't let yourself be swayed from being friends with them. Even if your friends don't like each other.
I need to catch a shuttle bus now.
I will be busy today with university crap.
And for the love of the Twin Gods and the peace the Forest is supposed to have, don't take this wrong or let it blow up in my face.

BLOG POST Waiting for the
Waiting for the glow that some tings that are white/brightly-colored have right now.
At least this is nothing compared to earlier.
Had an eye exam at a different eye doc today, since the one I'd gone to before is pretty far away near my dad's old work. It was fine going there when he still worked there since he went there himself out of it making sense distance-wise. But now...it doesn't make sense to go to them. So I went to the one my mom's been going to that's within walking distance.
Except, unlike the place I'd gone to before, they dilated my eyes. And it didn't wear off fast.
I was freaking out from being sensitive to light, nothing past the length of my body distance-wise being in focus, and not being able to read anything with small print unless I moved it away from me and used a magnifying glass.
Is it bad that I wanted to cry?
Think of it this way if think it is: I'm an artist. Take away my being able to see details, and you take away my ability to do what I love most.
I also read. A lot.
I'd like to think my panic was justified. |D
Well, on the bright side, after 2 and 1/2 hours, I could focus nearly normally again. But now, like I started with in this, bright things (especially white) have a sort of glow to them still. It's like I'm staying up late 'til early morning hours. Except it's 3pm rather than 3am.
Darn sensitivity to light. |D
Senior thesis gets presented on Tuesday night.
Cue the bloody murder scream...
I didn't bother to go to Flash class last night due to feeling lazy (|D), but I did use the time I gained constructively! I got the way I'm going to post up my panels at school started. Need to finish that up today, which I'll do soon.
I'll be sure to take a picture (with my cell phone probably; the photos from it can be pretty good if there's enough light) after I'm done hanging it on Sunday. =]
But I may wait to post it so I'm not spoiling anything ahead of time. Don't want it to be completely revealed before it's supposed to be seen by people on Tuesday.
Speaking of which, I still need to add sound to the animatic! o.o *goes through her free songs that have no words*
EDIT/ADD-ON
I forgot to mention.
I have my cap and gown as of yesterday. =] And thanks to the gown being black, the school's color being orange, and the art department's color being brown...
I can say I'm wearing my leowolf's colors.
And ironically, the colors are about the right proportion to the leowolf.
THE TASSEL LOOKS LIKE HALLOWEEN. |D
Kicking Zerg in again
XD And whoo, almost may/fawn time. XD
8O I don't have anything
I don't have anything urgent to be doing either since I got the video version of my storyboard done (and am just going to watch it a few times to make sure it's ok).
Give me a bit! |D
Oh, and some day Bast needs to run into Archileus (sp?) to confuse him when he sees the 6 eyes (unless they're not visible in his "Day set"?).
XD Yes! Bast needs to run
Ok. 8] He'll definitely pause
*should have Scape look shocked when standing next to Zerg to show he feels the fawn kicking*
XD That'd be adorable! She's
She's in forest now.
