Critique

2010-03-11T01:18:30Z

Critique is always something that has been a double-edged sword to me. On one hand, I love the thought that someone actually studied what I put my time into and found things that could be improved or things that I need to work on. On the other, I've found that sometimes I tend to get mad at people who give me critique, because sometimes I don't see it myself, and assume it may be 'too harsh' or 'unfair.'

I was told by one of my friends who attends art school, and comments frequently on my work giving me critique that I seem to 'draw a lot of nouns and not many verbs.' For all of you who need to think about that it means I tend to draw a lot of figures posing and not many images with actions.

When I first heard this I was kind of irked because I enjoy drawing poses. It's easy and actions sometimes don't represent what I'm trying to convey. But then I realized that sometimes I need to start drawing actiony poses and other things, different than what I'm doing now.

So people who've looked at my art, what do you think?

AND DON'T JUST SAY "It is delightful I see there is nothing wrong."
GIVE ME SOME CRITIQUE

WoW post: GearScore

2010-02-25T18:47:33Z

Since I got back into WoW (about a month ago) I've been noticing that people have obsessing more and more with their "gear score." A thing which I am beginning to hate more and more in my quest to gear my Paladin.

Scenario: 25 man Vault of Archavon with 5 healers. I have 3,500 gear score and the other 4 have over 4,500 or 5000. Every dps has over 4,000, most of them over 5,000. We go after first boss, and wipe (everyone died). We try again and wipe a second time. During those 2 fights I was either the 2nd or 3rd top healer for the raid, doing well over 400,000 points worth of heals.

The raid leader decided to "clean out" the raid group, and the first person he cuts out is me. Why? Because I have the lowest gear score than anyone in the raid. Never mind the fact that at least 10 people were doing under 2,000 dps (damage per second).
__________________________

Yes, this is a butt-hurt WoW journal. But it only shows how stupid people are becoming with the game. Where are the good ol' days when people were advertising their DPS instead of this new Gear Score crap.

I can understand that having GearScore makes it easier to tell you the quality of gear a player is wearing, but that is not an excuse to go off GearScore entirely and forget that gear only helps the player do well in the game, it doesn't do it for them.

So I've been making it a priority of mine to follow America's Best Dance Crew through this entire season. Since last year I came in halfway through and didn't really know what time it started at, I missed most of it...thank God for the interwebs.

But there are two crews who I think really stand out this season: Poreotix and Saltare.

I love Poreotix because they're funny as shit, playing off pop culture references in their routines was amazing to say the least.

Then you have Saltare. My view on Saltare is very conflicted because they seem to be one of those oblong crews who incorporate something unusual into the hip-hop dancing, which ABDC has had on their shows every season... I really like Saltare, because they're amazing. But I can't help but think that maybe they're just on there because of what they do.

You be the judge.

Yes they are using jump ropes...

I've found myself playing World of Warcraft a lot lately. Probably since I want to get back up to 80, which I shouldn't be getting so obsessed over, I guess.

I made a point of giving up soda about a month ago, now. And I still find myself unconciously reaching for a soda when I go in the fridge, but I'm still soda free which I'm very happy about. The only problem is that I haven't been working out as much as I wanted to, if at all (for reason, see above). I keep blaming it on winter, saying that there's no places to run (I hate running on sidewalks, where passerby can see my fat boobs bouncing up and down) but I guess I need to suck it up. I was at 265 when I stopped drinking soda, now I'm down to 260; I guess that's an improvement. Not really.

Maybe I shouldn't be eating giant wads of meat stuffed with cheese that piechi decides to make, since he needs to lose weight just as much as I do, if not more.

Pssh, yeah. World of Warcraft, obviously.

Should I go to FWA?

2010-01-30T12:36:20Z

Recently I got asked to be a passenger in a 21 hour car drive down to FWA by epeppin. It's not really the car drive that I care about, it's that I don't know if I want to afford it.

The room would be free, whoever TK is staying with said I could stay there for free and crash on the floor. But the problem I have is with registration, which I don't know how much it is (assuming around $40) and then whatever the cost of food is. I'd like to get commissions, but I highly doubt that I could be able to afford it.

I can't believe that WoW is turning me into a depressed and whiny little bitch. Things that I know shouldn't matter get under my skin and just make me feel like I shouldn't be playing this game, because the past year and a half that I have been playing this game was all for nothing because no matter who they are, they're going to be better than me.

Oh well, maybe WoW isn't good for my health after all.

Dream/Nightmare Journal

2010-01-22T13:26:03Z

At the beginning of the dream, my family and I were in our home...and something was wrong with Chester, I don't know if he was sick or really old or something, and my parents told CJ and I that he was going to die. CJ and I wanted my parents to take Chester to the vet because we either wanted them to put him down humanely or get him treated so he would keep living. My parents said that they didn't have enough money for the vet but we needed to get rid of chester.

So I had to hold my own dog while my dad put packing tape around his muzzle and his legs, hog-tying him. For some reason we were living next to a cemetary in the dream. And we found an empty one of those big house-type graves, forget what they're called, and we put Chester in there, kinda in the corner, hog-tied like that. My dad said he would die soon enough. I had a gun, in the dream, and wanted to just put a bullet in Chester right then and there but my dad said it would be a waste of a bullet. So then the dream kinda goes in semi fast-forward through the next couple days and my dad gets a new car, for CJ, who at this point looked like he was around 16, it's not like a new new car, but a car none-the-less. And in the dream I just kept thinking about the dog and hoping he's dead.

So then one day I decided to take CJ and dad back to the grave so that we can make sure the dog is dead, and if he's not dead, I was going to put him out of his misery, because I hate when animals suffer. So we go to this grave and we hear scratching at the door of the grave. And we open up the door and Chester's there, kinda wagging his tail, more just staring at us. He doesn't look the same as he used to...it looked like he was shaved or something, it was weird. But he went up to lick CJ on the face once or twice and I noticed the dog had red eyes...

And then I woke up.

tl;dr summary: My parents are douches to animals and my dog came back to life.

But this was one of those dreams where I don't know if it was a nightmare or a dream, because it was so fucked up and painful for me that I want to call it a nightmare. I hate doing inhumane things to animals, and Chester was one of those dogs where I really don't want anything bad to happen to him, cause he's a sweet dog. I don't really feel like going back to sleep right now, though, because I don't want to finish that dream at all.

I've been noticing lately that, while I'm on my dry cleaning route around Madison, I listen to Z-104 (hip-hop/pop/dance) a lot, mainly because my only options are that or 98.1 which is old people music.

But I've noticed that it's starting to go into my personal life a lot more, now. I used to be quite the metal head...now I'm mostly just listening to Rihanna and Owl City. I really hope this a phase because I want to be in a Slipknot or Celldweller mood again ;___;

2010-01-11T10:38:38Z

I'm in a thinking mood right now...I don't usually like my thinking moods, cause they usually involve me thinking "you're not as important to some people as you think you are" or "you'll never bee as close to ________ as they already are to ________." But this is a good thinking mood. An optimistic thinking mood, I guess you could say.

I've been thinking about what I'm going to be doing for money, come this fall, because Piechi and I are finally getting an apartment together, which I've been waiting for for so long now. The only problem is that I've gotten shit for hours at Old Navy and the Cleaners only has me working one route; but they're thinking about giving me another route, which is fine with me, since I love the Cleaners so much. But since Old Navy started cutting my hours, I've got nothing to show that I've been saving up for the fall; because most of my paychecks either fall into the category of bills or gas.

The thing is, my mom wants me to drop Old Navy completely and find a new job, but they've got places all over, including one in Brookfield, which coincidentally is hiring right now, so that's a possibility. The only problem is that Brookfield is a good 40 min. away from me, and I'm not commuting 40 minutes every other day to get to work, that'd be using up half my day's earnings on gas. But when Piechi and I have a place that would be a great place to work in between school, so I'd like to keep that with me. I'd see if I could get a temp job between now and August to see if I could get some extra money but I really don't want to work 3 jobs...

I guess this is a half finished journal because I'm tired and want to go to bed. So I guess I'll just leave this to be more of a "current thought process journal." But those are boring and no fun to read.

"The City of Lake Mills Police Department made two arrests in a city-wide burglary spree that began on Christmas Eve.

Taken into custody on Sunday, were Corbin Thomas, 19, of rural Waterloo and Joseph Bidlack, 18, of Lake Mills.

In the criminal complaint forwarded by the LMPD to the Jefferson County District Attorney's office, Thomas and Bidlack were each named in nine burglary counts and one count for the obstruction of an officer.

The list of break-ins and attempted break-ins the pair are allegedly involved with includes two seasonal trailers at Sandy Beach, the concession stand at Rotary Park, the concession stand at the Lake Mills Middle School/Campus Field, the James J. Chocolate Shop, U.S. Cellular's retail outlet and three storage units near Mulberry Street.

"One of the suspects attempted to activate one of the 33 cellular phones taken from the Lake Mills store at U.S. Cellular's Fort Atkinson store," said LMPD Sgt. Mick Selck, who made the arrests. "The manager there thought something was wrong. He checked the phone's serial number and discovered that the phone the suspect was attempting to activate was still in U.S. Cellular's inventory. A check of the Lake Mills store confirmed the store had been burglarized."

Selck added that entry to the store had been gained by forcing the back door.

Also taken from one of the trailer's was a DVD/VCR unit.

"The phones, phone accessories and the combination DVD/VCR were the biggest items taken during the spree," added Selck. "There's also an extensive list of property damage that was caused when units were successfully broken into and entered or attempted to be broken into."

The list of property damage includes broken doors, windows and/or cut locks at each of the commercial establishments, concession stands and residential or storage units.

Formal charges are pending in the DA's office and could be filed as early as this weekend. Both suspects are free on $10,000 signature bonds, which were posted on Monday. Please see the sidebar story for further details."

tl;dr summary: A kid I used to go to school with robbed a couple places in town, including a cell phone store. He then went to a different cell phone store to try and activate the phone and they called the cops on him.

Dumbasses.

That nagging feeling...

2010-01-06T20:32:43Z

For the last few months, every time I talk to someone about hanging out or hang out with someone or a group of friends, be it furry or not, I always get the nagging feeling that I'm just the third wheel; the unwanted part of the group that people would either like to have removed or replaced with someone better.

I've been made apparent of that last night when I was over at Tom's house playing 360, and he was getting multiple texts and calls from people who wanted to go out for Mexican food since one of my friends since middle school just got back from Peru. I wanted to go along as well and Tom just made this look like "oh, that'd be awkward cause nobody wants to hang out with you look." I kind of ignored it until we got to the restaurant and everyone sat down and started talking. I was making small talk here and there but mostly it was me sitting in silence in a corner because nobody really wanted to talk to me or had anything they felt like saying, but during most of the dinner I just felt like it would've been more enjoyable for everyone else if I wasn't there.

I've had that happen, too, with some other friends; where I'd be hanging out at their house, apartment, whatever and I'm just kinda sitting in the corner doing my own thing.

I know it's silly for me to think that because some people enjoy hanging out with me. But even when I'm with people I know like me and enjoy my company I always get that feeling that they'd still love to replace me with someone else because hanging out with that other person would give them a lot more joy than hanging out with me.
