Last year a friend of mine aka was diagnosed with stage four colon and liver cancer. It has spread from those locations to the lymphatic system and his lungs. While he is mired in the physical battle the financial battle is a different matter. Cancer treatment is expensive. Please consider donating at the following link: https://gofund.me/1e36a6d7


Signal boosts are also appreciated.

So for those of you out there that own and/or enjoy playing Skyrim there is a survey that involves playing the game for 35 minutes and answering some questions before and after your play session. If you're interested you'd be helping a fellow fur out with his research project which is going much slower than he'd anticipated. If not interested in playing please spread the word.

Survey and instructions are here: https://utdallas.qualtrics.com/jfe5.....OCqD95tVvzJNl3

Not a whole lot to say here. They're looking for storyboard artists. This obviously falls outside of my skill set cause I don't like drawing and what not. But, some of you out there might enjoy it and who knows... you could be working in an industry you like.

I think this might just be the best thing I've seen so far today. Maybe not of all time but, this hit me in the right spot and it was good.

Happy New Year. I'm not dead. I know. I know. Folks will just have to try harder in the new year! Huzzah!

So yesterday was my birthday. I was quite busy on it. The day before I voted and then I went out to a buffet later on and ate. I got two games Shin Megumi Tensai 4 and Fantasy Life. I also went and saw John Wick. Then today drove up to an apple orchard and got apples. Ate some pie. Came home and that's pretty much the whole of it. Good times were had all around.

Comment below and I'll tell you things about you... or, if I don't know you I'll just make something up.

I will:

1. Tell you what animal/creature you remind me of.
2. Tell you what color I think fits you.
3. Tell you how I feel about you.
4. Insult you.
5. Tell you my favorite OC of yours. (If you have one...)
6. Tell you what season you remind me of.
7. Tell you what food you smell like in my head.
8. Think of a random nickname for you.
9. Tell you what element you remind me of.
10. Ask you to put this in your journal without using the word 'tag'

Sometimes you need a laugh. I know I've needed a few due to some stuff going on over here. So, when I was sent this (chances are a lot of folks know of this already) I laughed quite a bit.

Some folks may wonder how to contact me. Well, it's simple really. You can't. That's it. It's over. Finished. Actually I think I'd have a cardiac arrest if someone DID try to get hold of me hehehe.

First is a movie that is... really really boring but the trailer is something ... just extra special.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy-zVlB4mvA

Next, is trailer for a movie that cost 65 million dollars to make. This is the trailer. Let's figure out where the budget went:

At the beginning of my shift one of the people who works up front brought some balloons back. Apparently, some kid started having a fit and ripped them off of their strings (We have some mylar/foil ones inflated already as sort of a grab and go thing) and in his efforts to get out of the store had been stopped by a legal guardian of some sort who then had to chase after him as he tore out of the store and apparently across the street as he screamed his head off.


A few hours later the kid came back sans mother. He lives a mile or two away. He is twelve. He had no shoes, no shirt and a mission. He jumped up on the newsstand and ripped the balloons down tearing them free from their weights and proceeded to jump between registers attempting to liberate each and every balloon he could. Some of them floated to the ceiling some of them he brought outside and let go. Still, he ran as various managerial types tried to stop him. Eventually he was cornered calmed to... a point.

From what I've gathered the balloons had told him to free them. He didn't know who his parents were or anything else, other than his mission. Eventually the cops came by to try to keep things in order and get hold of his mom somehow which they did.

Just another day at work.

I enjoyed both movies. Combining them this way cracks me up.

I work. That's about all I can say about that. On a different note I think this is an interesting commercial for gum.

I like action movies. I can even get into the goofy over the top action movies. I knew people who saw the movie "Olympus has Fallen" tell me that it was such an awesome action film. It even had the critics buzzing and using big words in dismay about how bad it was. Typically when that happens to an action film that's a good thing. The critics get their underwear in a twist and break out the lexicon to try to show you how smart they are for not liking something.

So I watched it and ... it was okay. I mean the acting was solid and the direction was solid. It had some good set pieces. Yes there are cliche characters and what not but that can be okay as long as the story is good. Got a foreign bad guy, a bad ass who has regrets about a past failure but will rise to the occasion when the time comes, ineffective outsiders (either they are incompetent or they aren't really in a position to help) and it can work IF the story works and is put together well. This one doesn't quite do that.

When they have their violence going on it's fun. When Gerard Butler gives his tough guy fuck off lines I chuckled. Then as soon as Morgan Freeman and company show up I'm banging my head against the fake desk. They aren't just dumb, they just don't get it. In fact the bad guy's plan goes straight to hell pretty quickly and these idiots don't seem to understand what the proper course of action is.

I know what it is. I'd spill it but I won't. I'd say it's worth a rent because the action is solid (even though they should have really upped the gore, when you get shot by a chain gun you don't stay put together that well) and as long as you focus on that in, I suppose you'd focus on it in a Steven Seagal Under Siege type of film, you can have fun with it and its dumb self.

Hmm... one day I may write about why I can't write. But as of now... I'm out.

To everyone who has someone and to those who don't I hope today is a good one. Happy Valentine's Day. Now off to work for my closing shift!

Stolen from everyone else who already did it and those who have yet to do it including myself.

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.
"Reality" TV, Family Guy (haven't really liked it in years), American Dad, The Cleveland Show, The Simpsons (same as family guy really), Anything by Tim and Eric, Go On, The New Normal.

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
The vast majority of rap and techno, can't think of any dub step I like, U2, Green Day after Warning, Rod Stewart, Limp Bizkit, Insane Clown Posse.

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn't care less about.
Typically I don't give a flip about celebrities one way or another but, those that I really couldn't care for, The Kardashians, Honey Booboo, Sean Penn, Chris Brown among others.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.
Buying things that aren't tangible in say a game with real money. I get expansion packs with more quests etc, I get sequels to games or something like that, But I don't get buying with real money a weapon in a game, or a bunch of pets in a game.

5. A habit you find disgusting.
purging.

6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.
Acting/Drama class. Though to be fair, some of the bitching was because of the teachers who... yeah you were actresses but you're not now are you?

7. Your favorite household chore.
burning leaves and refuse or washing dishes.

8. Popular video games that make you go “meh”.
Shooters (If I want to shoot I'll do it in real life), World of Warcraft and the like.

9. PC or MAC?
PC

10. A sport you don’t like, for whatever reason.
Tennis.

11. A sport you really like, for whatever reason.
Hockey. (Any sport where a guy loses eight teeth after getting hit in the face by an object going 90 miles an hour goes to the locker room for a couple minutes to get a shot and goes back out there is good times).

12. Television programs you love but have gotten shit for liking.
I can't say it's ever happened.

13. Musical artists you love but have gotten shit for liking.
Lordi, Aqua, Metallica, John Prine.

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.
Can't think of one.

15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.
I can't think of one.

16. Something in school you hated doing and it felt like everyone else loved.
Art. It wasn't fun. I didn't learn anything and frankly, the only reason I doodle something out on occasion is because I have an idea and I don't want to pay for someone else to do it.

17. The household chore that makes you want to shoot your own face off.
Cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms. Mostly because I then always hear, "Oh, I was going to do that."

18. A selection of video games that you enjoy that perhaps you really shouldn't.
I don't know what that means. I can't think of anything that I derive entertainment from as far as video games go that I shouldn't enjoy.

19. A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand.
I don't have any. Frankly, after having met a few of them I can honestly say they look and act like pretty much everyone else for better or worse.

20. Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.
I could go on for a very long time about a few things so, I'm not going to bother. If one think irks me right now it's the leak in my roof and the lack of money in my pocket that will ultimately lead to me having to make some choices about finances that I was hoping not to make.

So I was minding my own business today. I did the work thing and boy were my dogs barking from all the standing around and walking and all. So I was quite happy to get home only to find out I had a screw in my heel. There was only one way to get it out, unscrew it. So I did! That feels a bit better. Unfortunately then I took another misstep while vacuuming and that area below the small toe hurts. Fortunately though when I take a shower THIS hasn't happened:

So, apparently people enjoy ponies. Big ones, small ones, ones that climb on rocks fat ones, sissy ones even those with cutie pox. Well, I have a friend who likes to restore, redo, paint up, fix up, and create various ponies. SO, if you have interest in this sort of stuff give a look and see what she has or what maybe she could do for you.
