tommorow night Norman Nawrocki is playing at the Victory Lounge.
http://www.nothingness.org/music/rhythm/
he will be joined by 4/5ths of FRACTAL PATTERN + IEshod Ibyn Wyza for what's been dubbed "an improv noise set"
sounds intriguing.
(highly unlikely that i'm going but i recomend anyone who is not totally "swamped as shit" to go check that out)

Well Tay that eatpoo.com site is interesting, but most of the guys on that forum are pretty elitist. One guy use lens flares and got cut up to shreds! They also seem to be in the buisness of selling Wacom boards. Otherwise pretty good art but I'd never want to be at that level if I had to cut up guys just for being newbies. We were all newbies once, we should encourage and teach newbies,not cut them up for being inexperianced. Or they could ban newbies from eatpoo and only let good artist on. Well either way it ain't a mecha enthusist site so I won't be returning. Sorry to bother all you guys with this drivel but check out:
Goodbrush
eatpoo
For some really good photoshop art work. If you go to eatpoo be prepared for some heavy elitism but otherwise good pictures.

Apparently, there are levels of zany eccentricity yet to be attained. Case in point, Donald Knuth:
- He pays a finder's fee of $2.56 for any typos/mistakes discovered in his books because "256 pennies is one hexadecimal dollar".
- Version numbers of his TEX software approach π, that is versions increment in the style 3, 3.1, 3.14 and so on
- He has a pipe organ installed in his home. Knuth disclaims any particular talent in the instrument, however.
My personal favorite, though, is his first scientific article, where he defined the fundamental unit of length as the thickness of of MAD Magazine #26, and the fundamental unit of force as a "whatmeworry". (Thanks, Wikipedia)

Tay, that guy at Goodbrush.com is freaking amazing! No filter? Only the basic layers and tools? Wow! I'm impressed he could probally use photoshop better then most of the wanks on MMFT. I'll probally never get to that level but that site was a good motivator to try better. 3 post in a row, back to old form I guess.

Tay that was a pretty interesting essay. Hopefully your professor doesn't rape you in marking it or late penalties. Go get some sleep.

Tay, I was thinking that the scanner that won't work on my computer might work on yours. As long as you use window 98. Its USB and has a freaking huge flatbed scanning surface. You can buy it off me for around 30 dollars or probally less since its not that new. Just let me know. thanks for your comments on Grand Arms! Its not bad but I think I can do better. We'll have to wait until I get a scanner that can work on my computer.

Dammit. I haven't slept a wink and now I hafta go to the university.

(or alternatively the convenient but non-formatted browser-friendly style here)
STUPID ESSAY!!! ARGHHHH.
BTW- Al, that Grand Arms Panzer looks friggin AWESOME!!! The way you were talking about it, I seriously didn't expect that it would turn out even half that good! Good job on that buddy!!! Congrats!

Well to keep you wolves at bay I'll post the picture of the incomplete Grand Arms Panzer. Its not completely done but that is mostly just the background. All those people on MMFT would probally say that it sucks but I really don't care as I put down too much time behind it. Well this is for all you sucky drawers out there just like me. This ones for you.
Ugly ain't it. Well I based it off the A-10 Warthog (A air to ground/anti-armor attack plane for all you non-military types.) and it's the mecha equivalent of the A-10. It's big blocky and full of weapons, its just brute strength and nothing else. Now if I could get a scanner I can finish all his other forms. Well it sucks but thats okay because this will incourage all the other sucky drawers to post there stuff on the internet as well. Just post who cares what other people think. Well enough ranting I got homework to do.

paras: don't worry about the images, i just didn't want to eat up load time.
allison: to paraphrase what a character in Slaughterhouse V once said, "humans are always asking why...when really the same can be asked of why not"
everyone: it's thoroughly fascinating reading posts on the Ashlee Simpson MSG board.. i wonder how much if it is P&R label people trying ease the fire with responses in the tone of "kind hearted 14 year old, fan girl"
