i like to read a murder mystery; i like to know the killer isn't me
It has been raining ALL FREAKING DAY. I know English weather is shit at the best of times, but C'MON! I got soaked coming home. Oh well. Had a great time at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bent_brokenrose's. We watched Highlander because she's never seen it. Her verdict was "Um. It's odd." (That's one way of describing it. Although I did say before it started that she shouldn't go looking for any logic or anything in it because...well, there isn't a great deal). She also introduced me to an anime called Chi's Sweet Home, which is about a cat called Chi and it makes my teeth hurt in the same way My Milk Toof does, but that is a good way. Although I don't think I could watch it if I had PMT because it would make me cry (it's sad :( ). We also watched a bunch of daft videos and then we watched Fellowship. Because I'd been planning to watch the trilogy anyway and...yeah. Obviously now I have to watch the rest of the trilogy. Mainly because I haven't watched Return of The King enough. Also I want to make icons because I haven't actually thought about it before and...I am really in the mood for making icons at the moment. Then today we...got freaked out by an action figure of Saber from Fate/Stay Night. Sounds all right, right? She was pregnant (I gots nothing against pregnancy. But she was naked, so I assume the figure comes that way and...just ewwwwwwww). And then we wandered around the centre of Manchester for a bit. And...I finally got the Gilgamesh figure! WOO! Seriously, text cannot fully describe how giggly and happy I am to finally have him (although I'm sure bent_brokenrose could tell you? ;) ). I also managed to pick up (although I wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't been for Dans, so thanks for that, hun :) ) Worlds of Final Fantasy by Yoshitaka Amano which is all pictures and no words and I even got a discount from the nice guy at Travelling Man :D So anyway, I had a good time, and I'm glad I went. Although I think the cat's happy now I'm home because apparently she thought I'd gone off forever, lol. |

In not so good news.
Well, that's not good. Found out that a contractor I've been working with
at the new Shoggoth Pit is down with Swine Flu. Oy, frickin' vey. I'm just
enough of a hypocondriac to be twitching. Joy, rapture. Come on immune
system, kick the virii's ass.
Damn, I really want a bacon sandwich now...

Okay, I asked this question on Facebook and so far the crickets are chirping away. The question is this: If the United States Constitution is to be taken exactly as the Founding Fathers intended, then wouldn't only white men of property get to vote? Because um. That's what "all men" meant to the powdered-wig set. And yeah, I know that "All men are created equal" is from the Declaration of Independence and not the Constitution, but the two documents are written with the same mindset. My other question is: Why are so many Americans in such denial that there is an unwritten Constitution? Because there is. If there weren't, the Supreme Court wouldn't be able to say that Americans have a fundamental right to privacy, because the word isn't in the original document, and militias would be running around shooting muskets at everyone. Well, okay, maybe not so much with the muskets, but you get my point. In other news, they gave Nibbles an Awful Awful, yaaaay!! See?  Current Mood:  hot |

Open letter
Been a while since I dropped an open letter on you guys, huh? Well, here's one for which I just now received inspiration while doing part of my periodical financial self-checkup. * * * Dear Chase Bank, Some months ago, you took over ownership of a credit card account in my name formerly held by Washington Mutual, which itself took the account over from Providian, which was the initial owner when I signed up for the account more than ten years ago. In the time I've had this credit card, the credit limit has, for one reason or another, been increased at various points until reaching what I considered the somewhat impressive, if not at least useful, amount of $15,293. For much of my decade of cardholding, I've been carrying a balance on that card and dutifully making timely payments while effectively setting no small amount of money just completely on fire in a vain attempt to satisfy the gaping, cavernous maw of accumulating interest which more or less forms the basis of your company's means of profiting from my debt. Last month I was fortunate enough to secure a sizable loan with a separate creditor with much more beneficial (to me) terms than you were offering. Using those funds, I paid off, in full, my debt to you, and cleared that particular credit card of all outstanding balance. In perusing my statement this month (an act I took it upon myself to perform, as I have not, at this time, actually received any notice from you that my statement was available for perusal), I noticed two interesting and unexpected changes to the expected status of my account. Firstly, I noticed that, as I previously mentioned, I have long held with you a decently-sized credit limit upwards of $15,000, though as of this month's statement I see you have seen fit to lower that number to $250. While I of course do not begrudge you the right to make adjustments to my line of credit with your company, I do find myself wondering if it is customary that when reducing a customer's purchasing power by upwards of 98%, as you have, that you would generally in some way notify the affected person of this fact. I ask purely for academic reasons, as there seems little point in arguing about it now. Secondly, I see that you have charged my account one dollar. Please be advised that I will, of course, once again pay off all debt outstanding on this credit card, this time for an amount reaching the sum of one (1) dollar, and rest assured that, before remitting payment, I will personally wipe that very dollar on my stank white ass, you dickless, non-notifying, freakish bizarro world bean-counters. Smell it. Take a deep breath, scratch it, and sniff it. Sniff my dollar. Do you smell that? That is the smell of cancellation. That is the smell of ten years of account-holding with you or someone in your long line of parasitic, blood-sucking antecedents, once able to put on credit, say, an inexpensive automobile, and now being just almost (but not quite) able to buy that new video game console. You dirty, dirty people. Still, I thank you for making the decision easy for me as to whether or not I should keep this account active. Clearly you feel I no longer have use for an extensive line of credit with your company and, I must confess, you are quite right. Yours, etc. |

bone, the arrival, and killer chins
John Klima, maestro of the wonderful zine Electric Velocipede, declared his independence from social media for the month of July so that he could focus on real world work and spend some time with his family. (I almost wrote "putting food on his family.") However, rather than let the EV blog lie fallow, he decided to invite a whole mess of guest bloggers to contribute entries over the month, prompting them with various interview questions (although Jeff Ford went one better with an amazing original story called " Baby Hand"). My contribution went up today (although it's already yesterday in Singapore, stupid international date-line), in which I talk about the guilty pleasure of Jeff Smith's Bone graphic novel series, the elegant graphic design of Shaun Tan's The Arrival, and Bruce Campbell's killer chin. Go give it a read, and if you feel like commenting, feel free to do it over at the EV Blog entry. |

Tonight.
My last post via ping.fm didn't go though. I have to go back into work
tonight for a few min to deal with some network hardware. 5 min, if that,
of work. That's why I'm going in at 10pm instead of 2am. Gonna go in a
bit early so I can plot out what I'll be doing. Until
then I'm watching 'Numb3rs' and trying to just veg out. I've got a small
mood swing working it's way into gear, but it's minor and fightable. So
I've got my metaphorical boxing gloves on and I'm punching it. Gonna
use the ferrets in a little bit as well, they make things all better.
Current Mood: tiredCurrent Music: Numb3rs on DVD |

Off to bent_brokenrose's tommorow! I am possibly more nervous about this than I need to be (and also worrying about taking stuff when basically all I need is medication, and myself. It's a bit like the massive post of massiveness that doesn't exist - I don't need to take a million things with me. I will not be bored. And I don't need to write about a million things in my journal, hence the similarity). I didn't play P3 again on purpose. Instead I sorted a load of drawings into a lever-arch folder (and found girl!Edward! Totally not where I was expecting the drawing to be (and I totally misremembered what it looked like)) and also made a sketchdump (more on that in a moment). And did a drawing that didn't suck! (Not scanned or present in this post because I couldn't be arsed dragging out the scanner twice). So, yeah. Sketchdump: ( under here )And, as mentioned, I found girl!Edward, but by that time I'd put away the scanner so - uh - have a bad photo instead: ( cut for pic and some vague rambling ) But anyway, I promised I'd post this for shinigamirocker so here it is...I am going to redraw it anyway. I guess I ought to finish this post and get to sleep because apparently I am a masochist and will have to get up at 8am in order to be in Manchester for 10:30. But I only have myself to blame. I was the one who chose what time we'd be meeting. Oh well. It'll be the earliest I'll have been up in...oh, about a year or so... |
