A happy snid-bit

I've seen his stand-up before, but recently, it is in lego form.

There's more where that came from, just search. You'll probably find the lego version of a clip from Monty Python's The Holy Grail.
"This one is wet, and this one is wet..."
That's my favorite part...

Photoshop Fun

I recently died my hair and took a pic with my phone. I didn't care how it turned out, so I had a little fun...

I've seen plenty of "artists" use stuff like this, ie those silly dog and cat pictures with the big eyes... God, I wish I got my hands on that claim to fame. Oh well. I'm stuck with MySpace and in a rabbit costume.

I'm fine with that.

Elementary Algebra and FLCL

You heard me. I'm studying for my soon-coming college assessment and I don't want to get the retard class when it comes to math. Sure, I took Algebra 1 and 2 and Geometry and College Prep/Integrated Math, but... As I said then, I never used it. And much like not using a language for a long time, you tend to forget aspects of it.
So I'm stuck studying Elementary Algebra... Right from the start, so I don't skip a beat. May take me all week to get it all down, but dammit, I'm going to get it right.
And for the second portion of the subject line...
The series emerged in '02, with it's crazy animation styles changing whenever it wants and lasting only 6 episodes. It wasn't canceled, but merely told the story it wished to tell, then ended (as all sweet things should).

I find myself not liking a lot of anime because it turns into garbage half way through every episode, but this one is different. It has a generally confusing, fast-acting storyline that doesn't turn to the perverse as most animes do. The music is always great and the characters are humorous. Thanks, Yōji Enokido, for writing such a funny, dramatic, and interesting storyline involving a little boy that sprouts robots from his head and an alien that rides a Vespa.

The clowning has begun!

I started yet another project (this one, I hope to actually finish!) that involves a giant foam head. That's right, I'm making a full-body bunny costume. I've started to shape the big foam block and have made a glove and the ears. Random components, I know, but I had to start somewhere and it sounded good at the time. Here's my progress so far:

Yep, those are the big floppy ears. The fabric I chose is almost a lavender, but it's really soft and comfortable on the inside as well, so I don't have to worry about a lining. I've additionally picked up a white fuzzy material for, as you see in the picture, the inner ears, belly, feet and tail.

It's going to be very entertaining.

Old Friend

When I was an angsty teen, I watched Happy Tree Friends and Ill Will Press. These cartoons have since been less funny to me, but I picked up a recent episode of HTF that I admired. Both for the fight scene and the animation... And I like the cute panda. Here it is, in it's over-merchandised glory: Books of Fury.



Happy Tree Friends is animated like so many Cartoon Network series.

What happened to the day when people went to libraries and pulled up newspaper articles in those big, lit-up machines? Oh right, computers ate those ages.
