11:19pm: Ah yes a somewhat cryptic subject heading! The first part has to do with a pretty fabulous purchase I made today, which was a pen tablet! It was only $35 and was on sale at Aldi, I had no idea about it (I don't remember seeing it in the sale catalogue...) But I went to the Mona Vale one after work at Mrs S's this morning - I had to exchange the zipper for a smaller one - and there it was. And even more exciting...it's green!

The only downside...it's supposed to come with software you can download, but I couldn't get the download to work, I'd click on the button and...nothing...except the website still registered the clicks and you only get five chances to download the software and I 'used them up' despite, you know, not having a program at the end of it! I've had to send in a help request to the Wacom people, I hope they get back to me. I have no idea why the program wouldn't download, I've download plenty of other stuff tonight.

I did accidentally download a demo version of the program, since I originally went to that website instead of the pen tablet website, so I did my first drawing using that. Although since it's a demo when you save the file it ends up with those "Made with so and so" on it. here's the picture I did. Da Vinci I ain't, but hey it's fun to use!

As for the typing part, I got to work on my NaNo today, I did briefly consider doing a Back to the Future story, it's the 30th Anniversary after all! But I don't actually have an idea right now - I'll have to get back to that. In the meantime I'm going to try and finish that Robotech fan fic, it also happens to be the 30th Anniversary of that show too. LOL.

And now, I must flee, it's late!

Before I go, the word metre!


2325 / 50000 words. 5% done!

A bit behind, but with any luck I'll catch up, although I do have work at the library tomorrow. But hey, I'm sure I can do it.

For now, goodnight!

11:04pm: Yes indeed, I don't have a eye-catching subject line for today, but...when do I? LOL.

Anyway! I remembered what I wanted to write about last night, a clothing tragedy! My jean 3/4 pants got a rip in them yesterday! Damnit, it's been coming for a while - and they are old pants, as well as being second hand. All the same though, I love those pants. I did see some other ones at the Mosman Vinnies, but they didn't have cuffs...I like cuffs. I shall have to investigate second hand shops tomorrow I guess, fingers crossed I find something good!

In other news, my fangirling has entered a realm of patheticness, I have made a card to send to Plushy as he recuperates from his back operation, LOL. If it actually gets to him he'll probably think I'm about ten as I drew a little picture of him and everything. And of course, it's in English...who knows how well he can read that. If I had decent handwriting I could have Google Translated it and copied it out in Russian and really given him a laugh - because Google Translate is fail. :OP

Anyway, I'll send that tomorrow after I get some glitter, because figure skating costumes have sequins, yo!

Anything else to report? Nope, not really...so here's the Meme:

Booking Through Thursday

Censorship

I think most of us are probably against censorship on principle, but … do you think it should vary depending on the impressionable age of the readers? Or is it always wrong? How about the difference between ‘official’ censorship by a government or a school system, as opposed to a parent saying No to a specific book for their child?

I think generally if you're going to need to censor a book to make it readable for children, then the child is not ready for that book, although a lot of censorship seems to come about because of adult opinions on what children should or shouldn't read, like Harry Potter or censoring the 'n-word' in Tom Sawyer. That censorship is wrong, narrowminded and I dare say dangerous.
Having said that I think there is a difference between official censorship and a parent saying to their kid that they can't read a book, in the latter case it's more a personal opinion that's contained. In the former though...well that's widespread and is creepy as Hell... I don't want to see any of that!

Hmm, deep!

And I should wrap this up...things to do tomorrow after all, like going to the gym, applying for those library jobs (finally!) and calling the uni.

So I bid you all goodnight!

9:44pm: Seriously! I'm watching The Hopman Cup, it's USA vs France and the US player is wearing the strangest outfit I've ever seen! I thought she was the French player at first, LOL! Although her last name is rather French so that might explain it. Still you'd never get away with that at Wimbeldon let me tell you.

In other news, I've drawn a picture I want to scan into the computer, but the scanner doesn't appear to want to work today, how annoying!

And I was about to say something else, but I've forgotten what it is now, LOL.

Oh, but the scanner's working now, that's a relief, I thought I was going to have to restart my laptop!

Anywho, I'm going to have to work on that picture since I want to put it up tonight, so I'll just meme and run!

Monday Movie Meme

This week's movie topic is all about Transformed Characters...

The movies are always giving us characters who undergo some sort of change during the story's arc. These changes aren't always for the better - that's what makes them so compelling. Share on your blog characters from film who have transformed.

Well, by far the most obvious one to me would be George McFly from Back to the Future who goes from a pathetic loser who had dreams of being a sci-fi writer squashed by underconfidence in a stagnant marriage, respected by no-one to successful and happy thanks to his son. His son from the future that is, LOL. Go George!

And he's the only one who comes to mind immediately, oh wait Emma from Emma goes through quite a transformation too, and thank God she does otherwise the very eligible and kind Mr. Knightley would have slipped away from her!

Righto, and now I'm off to finish my picture.

Work starts again tomorrow, but for now, goodnight!

7:39pm: It's true! I checked! Therefore I feel I can still post this (especially seeing as I had George and Lorraine spend their honeymoon in Hawaii anyway - how feasible that is in 1960 I'll have to check...).

So here it is...

Kissy Faces - ;O) )

And the flash fic!

085.Gun )

In other news, I be annoyed that they've shown Stephanie Rice's gold medal Medley Relay Swim (congrats to her) twice, but they never showed our Bronze Medal Sychronised 10m Diving! I feel most ripped off.

But now, I'm off, just before the Hawiian midnight!

Ta ta for now!

8:05pm: To George and Lorraine of course, at least in my fanon, as today 12th August is their Wedding date (in 1958) - it's also Biff and Lorraine's Wedding Date in 1973 (because you know that Biff would be that much of a son of a bitch), but there's nothing to celebrate at all there. Just thinking about what Lorraine put up with in the A reality is enough to put me off my dinner.

Anyway, I've putting together some fan art (and prehaps a little Flash Fic if I get enough inspiration), but it's not quite ready yet. Hopefully by the end of this entry (as I go between this update and other stuff).

Anywho I saw this in [livejournal.com profile] docsgirl's journal and I just had to do it.

The Rules: Pick ten characters from any fandoms -- and assign them LJ names. Then answer the questions under the cut.

1. George McFly - Melt_My_Brain
2. Lorraine McFly - His_Density
3. Roy Fokker - Skull_One
4. Claudia Grant - GreenQueen
5. Ron Weasley - Weasley_is_our_King
6. Hermione Granger - Nose_In_A_Book
7. George III - King_of_Britian (OK he's not exactly from a fandom, but whatever)
8. Harry Potter - Boy_Who_Lived
9. Cosmo - I_Like_Pie
10. Wanda - Pink_and_Wise

Don't Peek at the Question until you've selected your 10! )

LOL, that was fun!

Whoops...I've had this update going for over two hours, but hey, I finished the first picture!

Please excuse the crudity of this model... )

Well, there's not enough time for me to post the other one as I haven't finished it, or do the Flash Fic, but aw well, thems the breaks.

Although, no replay of 10m Sychronised Diving Final, which sucks 'cause we won a medal and everything. I shall have to watch it on the net.

I did see the men's team gynmastic's final, China won, good for them

And finally Memes: )

Right if I don't get to bed now I'm gonna wrack up some serious sleep debt and there's gonna be trouble!

And so I bid you all good night.

10:18pm: I should probably be getting my ass to bed, since I felt rather tired today...I think I must have tossed and turned a bit or something during the night. But I got caught up with drawing another drawing...

An' here it be )

Moving on, er...nothing much went down today, except I got told off by my boss for being a wuss. Sigh! The thing is after 23 years of been quite uncoordinated and having little upper body strength it's hard to rectify the situation in a couple of months. Hmpf!

I'm also trying to figure out if The Nation is really ending next week or if he was just joking on the radio today. It's hard to tell, LOL!

Well, there's no memes up tonight, so I got nothin' to say, so I'll be off now.

Goodnight!

10:25pm: Every so often I decide to go through my Tags to make sure there isn't doubled up tags and whatnot. I'm finding quite a few...since I sure have a Hell of a lot of tags.

Anywho, in other news today, not much, except my $800 deposit continues to be missing, this is a complete pisser. I want to add it to my laptop fund! (Like I said, I think I really should be getting a new one) The Box Thing will have to wait, I dare say.

In other news, not much, except I now have all my tax stuff so I will shortly be doing my tax return! This is sure to give me a nice little nest egg to put towards the laptop fund, but I want that $800 back! I shall continue to put this in my mind, because I may have to go to a tribunal and talk in front of a mediator, so I've got to get my bravery up.

Today I got a short email from Dad! He and Mum went and visited Kew, home of the Big George III exhibit! Oh the jealously! I hope it's a permanent exhibit otherwise I may never get to see it, which would suck majorly.

Well, I should in bed now, yikes!

However, the Daily Meme website seems to have disappeared! I hope this is only temporary because, I want my Memes! And I don't want to try hunting them up individually.

Right, like I said, bed.

Oh PS. Here's the picture of Percy I was talking about (Deathly Hallows spoilers.)

Goodnight!

9:50pm: I have been working on a picture in Photoshop, which came into my mind as I was going to bed last night. With Percy, LOL. Fun times, fun times, I'm not so sure about the colours and stuff.

In other news, not much, just went to work, did some stuff, came home...

I need to get to bed soon though since I'm still behind on my sleep after reading Harry Potter in one day. Speaking of which, this morning I heard they employed a speed reader to read the 7th book so they could give a review, and it took them 48 mintues! No way! I wonder if they actually remember anything, and how did they even do that? Very impressive.

Aw shit, I just remembered Drawn Together was on SBS tonight an episode I'd never heard of either! Is that series still going? Or did it only go for three seasons?

Eh, anyways, memes )

Ow, my shoulder is beginning to hurt again from so much typing, so I'm gonna give up here.

I'm watching the Tour, ah the Pelaton, my favourite! But it's time for bed, so I will have to leave the wheels and pedals there.
