Finished it! Though it cost me my sanity.

( The Search for Spock, and why I shouldn't watch it anymore. )

My first digital painting. D'aww. Riddled with errors but not too horrific, I guess. I like how the planet turned out. Holy crap his eyes are not enormous for once.

GQMF LENS FLARE!

So I've just spent the last 2.5 hours staring at my computer screen working on a drawing. I'm still not done. It's me first attempt at a digital painting. Kinda.

Yes, it's Star Trek, we'll get that outta the way now. Shut up. Random Vulcan placed over the Genesis planet at sunrise. Well, it took me a loong time for that stupid planet, but I liked how it turned out. So I was doing the blue-sketch layer when I realized I didn't want to ruin my background with the usual trashy cell-shaded sketch thing I do. So I erased the original sketch, went with a profile close-up, and attempted to paint it. Still looks cartoony, but oh well.

Still not king finished. Hopefully tomorrow. Hair is hard. I'll post it when I'm done.

I'm sure everyone and their mom has seen this but I DON'T CARE.

I was in the bookstore when I saw this mug. It was yellow, with "things to do" written on the top, and below it, in handwriting was:

1. Argue with captain
2. Wax ear tips
3. Trim hair
4. Work on mind meld
5. Save the world

I wanted that mug. I was willing to drive all the way back to Harker Heights after work to get it. The fact it had no other Star Trek paraphanelia on it made it all the more charming. But it was the only one of its kind. Upon closer inspection of the other mugs, I saw that what was written was not actually part of the mug. The mugs come with pens, and you can actually write shit on them, that could be wiped or washed off later. So, while I could get that mug, I could never use it which would make it pointless.

I was so disappointed.

(On the other hand, he may ask you for soup, and that's swell.)

So I saw the Star Trek movie again last night. Had to convince myself not to see it for the third time tonight. Maybe tomorrow. I really love that movie. Told me mum about it over the phone, saying she might enjoy it, but:

Me: Probably be weird for you, seeing the new young cast.
Mom: Like the Stargate 200th episode.
Me: ...what?
Mom: You know, with the new hip, young cast?
Me: *blink blink* ... sporfle

I <3 my mum.

But anyway, so I ran out and grabbed the second and third series of the original 'Trek (no place had first season, and I suspect they were all grabbed already). Watching the episodes out of order and I seemed to have hit the horny Spock set. Weird.
No, really. First he's getting it on (as much as Vulcans do) with a Romulan commander and now he's gonna kill Kirk over the wife. Face it Jim, Spock can kick your ass in any timeline. XD

Though poor Kirk seems really put out when Spock informs him that pointed ears are "not aesthetically pleasing on humans." Aww, he seems so self conscious now!

Air conditioning got turned off again, so it's 80 degrees farenheit in my room and I can't do anything except watch tv, so...

Back to Star Trek! (followed by some Last Unicorn and Supernatural, mmmm...)

Edit: Air conditioning is back on! Slowly returning to tolerable levels. Aaahhh... Back to the Trek fic! ...shut up.

You are so messed up.

Jeffrey Donovan look-alike in my head, welcome.

*headdesk*

Dude...Victor kicks ass.

I <3 Michael Shanks.

Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
Post them to your journal with these instructions.

It was thus decreed by the mighty martyfan that the letter shall be L. The letter shall not be K unless proceeding directly unto L. N is right out...
(Bonus challenge: The word beginning with L shall not be Love. Not hard, considering I don't have that many songs that start with L! o.O

Less Than a Pearl - Enya
I just love a good crescendo.

La vie Boheme - Rent
This one's fun to sing in the car. Kinda makes me think of the sodomy song from "Hair" tho.

Lighthouse - Nickel Creek
So sad, yet so beautiful a melody.

LadyHawke - LadyHawke soundtrack
One of my top five eighties films. Start with the techno, then work your way to classical rock!

Lost Friend - Last Exile soundtrack
I only ever saw one full episode of this show, but the music caught my attention more than anything and I had to go find some.

Bonus Song!
The Last Unicorn, part 2 - Last Unicorn soundtrack
I don't have the opening song on my computer anymore, so here's the closing! Same song, with some instrumentals added in.

Have a nice day.

Holy crap on a stick, I wrote a ficlet thingy. Well, if by 'fic' I mean "stuff that was running through my mind and was vomited out my fingers"

Doctor Who (10th)
No title
Warnings: The enormous fluxuating canon is out to get me. There will be errors.
Also pretentious and makes no sense. I just kinda regurgitated on the screen and got this. Hey, it's something.

( The concept of self image was far more fluid to a Time Lord than a human... )

I apologize for making the babies cry.

Virgil: You won’t find what you’re looking for there, Nephilim.
Damaen: (glare)
Jericho: He’s not…
Virgil: Was not one of his parents of the Heavens? I think so.
Jericho: If you want to be really liberal about it…
Damaen: Here, (drops book in front of Jericho) and nephilim is plural, you old goat. You want naphil, and I’m not a fucking giant!
Virgil: In your day, I think you were. And blue-eyed too, ah, how you must have stood out, poor boy!

I've been watching several hours straight of Metalocalypse.

My brain hurts. And my inner monologues has developed rampants S'ses.

The sergeant next door has the same music taste as me.

Edit: Dude, Metalocalypse season finale for the win!

I am here now, in my new home. I'm probably going to be here a while, as the next deployment is in June, but it sounds like I won't be part of it, but we shall see. There's also a possibility of TDY to Maryland, but I haven't heard much on that. But I can has unit now, lolz.

I'm going to shoot for Europe when I reenlist (which is the current direction I am taking, but we'll see how the next several years go). Hopefully Germany, or Britain, but anywhere's hot. But a lot can happen in a few years, globally. Blah blah blah.

Ehh, not much else to talk about. DatS is making a reappearance. New plotline: roller chair jousting!
"Jousting? Why?"
"I've always wanted to impale Jack with something."
"Already done!"
"Shut up, slash!Daniel."
"That's well and good except that Continuum!Daniel wants to join in too."
"Oh, uhh..."
Some time later...
"Where the fuck are all the office chairs!?"
And Kent accidently combines the DNA of a plot bunny and the Monty Python rabbit and creates a MONSTER! And we know how rabbits breed... And then somehow they go replicator. And then are defeated by Jacob Thain who has read about how to defeat genetically enhanced plotbunnies somewhere. Except one, who is tamed by Loco and used as a steed.
Dandun is thrown off by Marty McFly's chicken chord.
And Daniel climbs out of Jack's TV via "The Ring".

Someone help me. Ahem! Les Pacte des Loups, I have you at last! Muahaha!

I was dicking around and this scene came to mind. And for once, instead of letting it fester and die, I actually sat down and wrote it. Very short.

( Damaen entered the large room, barely half the size of the Metrion chamber and lacking a ceiling, and scanned the cluttered contents. Connor MacLeod, eat your heart out. )


Danke und gute nacht.

Is where I live. See, they installed livewire or whatevs into staff duty, and we of the private class can tap into it. Except that my room is on the end of good range. My roommate gets free internet, I, on the other side of the room, do not. So now I'm sitting in the middle of the room, five feet from my original position, and getting internets. WTF mate.
So let us test the endurance of my battery.

But! Here for my your amusement, drawings!
Both are of Damaen, though about a year apart. I still like the first one well enough, but it looks more like an adolescent Damaen, so I tried again all this time later. Adult Damaen, in his modern clothes. My ripped jeans look like torn paper, seems. Sigh.

( 2 draconic hybrids for the price of one! )

On other notes: Seanteo is 11 this year. Just for those of you who don't care.

I don't have time this month for a full novel for NaNoWriMo, but I know what I want to do for a short story XD

Unfortunately the only good access to Norse mythology I have right now is Bulfinches Mythology, and it's pretty lacking. Sigh. I miss having a good library around.

So, from memory: Odin strung himself up on Yggdrasil and lost his eye for the knowledge of the Runes (now having "Gargoyles" flashbacks. TEH EYE OF ODIN OMG!!!!!1). That's it. That's all I remember. Soooo...

I'm trying to fit mythology into the Muudian world. The immortals would remain, and they would probably inspire quite a few of the stories. (Inspire, not be) Damaen and Shet are the origin of the Osiris cycle, but that's covered in The Ennead. Seanteo was Mordred (and he's trying to convince me he's Beowulf too. He's not anything until I read the damn story and see what I can fuck up properly), but that's covered in Wayward. But there's so much else to cover! So, behold!

Esath climbs up the burned remains of Marlevena to try to find anything left from the Onakad library. His brother Fanun, the storm lord Shet, and the skald Damaen wait below. Some crap happens, but Esath manages to learn what he wanted. And loses his eye in the process, of course. He'll get a new one later. He's a dragon, he can do that if he wants, damnit.

And that's all I gots right now, but it's a start!
So let's begin on a rainy afternoon, at the base of the remains of Marlevena...

Good luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo!
