Something Somebody Could Use

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 29, 2008, 4:26 PM
Well, it's been awhile, huh? Um, I don't have anything right now, but I'll come up with some shit and pass it off as "art" real real soon. In the meantime, all my attention is being focused toward a little website called [link]. It's pretty neat. You can go on there and make your own web comics using pre-made shit, not to mention a really good character editor. If you know me, you know I love really good character editors. Or maybe you don't. What else could I type here? ...Ooh, oh yeah, I was on my own all last week, which meant I really had to stretch my skills as a chef for dinner. Day one consisted of a medley of heart-attack inducing breakfast foods, including hash browns and bacon. Day two, I feasted on reuben sandwiches. Day three saw me ordering out for a cheeseburger and bacon and cheese french fries. Today was my specialty(wait for it): Shitty Fajitas! My method of madness involves tortillas, any type of cheese in the fridge, and any sort of luncheon meat sitting in the drawer. I nearly died. I kid you, of course, but my shitty fajitas are something I wouldn't feed my enemies.

Well, I'm down twelve points, and they're selling.

Sincerely,

John

So, at some point today I reached 501 pageviews on deviantArt, so I'd just like to thank my friends and those of you who looked at their "Recent Visitors" lists and decided, "Hey, this guy's got a goofy enough name." In other news, my trial version of ImageReady is reaching it's limit, I believe, because I haven't been able to save anything I've drawn. Hours of sketching and coloring and re-coloring have gone down the drain from the program fucking up. I am pissed, to say the least.

Sincerely,

So, I'm gonna change my major from Illustration to Animation. I made this decision almost immediately after taking the Animation Foundation Seminar class. It was just a series of "Holy shit, I knew that!" and "Damn, this doesn't feel like work at all. It's actually fun!" So, yeah, animation.

In other news, my birfday was last Thursday. Went to the Bamboo House, ate 7Up cake, and got a Transformers MP3 player. Now I just need the computer equipment to use it, which should put me back another couple hundred dollars. Does anyone know of a reliable SD card reader? I don't wanna get soaked.

That's purty much it. Finals this week. End of first semester this week. Improv show this week. I Am Legend opens this week. This week this week.

Art school is eating my head.

So, I finally gave in. After months, nay, years of saying, "Zombie comics suck. You'll NEVER see me writing one," I've decided to... write one. But don't worry, huddled masses, the comedy will flow like... rainwater from a gutter spout? Is that what those things are called? Anyway, the comic will star my good buddy Ned as:

Ned: Zombie Fighter

So, Ned's in it, a few of my friends will make cameos as zombies, I've come up with sweet weapons that I'm sure no one has done before. Yeah, purty awesome.

As I'm writing this, my cat, Cleo, is sitting on the desk, staring at the wall. What could she possible be thinking about? How to best destroy me? Well, I have Drawing I today, and as much as I love to draw, I hate Drawing I. It's amazing how school can suck all the life and fun out of things.

Yeaaaaahh.... Sooooo.... It has been a couple of whiles since my last journal update and a couple of more whiles since my last art submission. I can't figure out how to operate the scanners at school. Well, I CAN operate the scanners, I just can't figure out how to save the picture and then email it to myself. I think everyone would be happier if I had my own scanner, then shit wouldn't be so... something. Also, I've been hella busy with school and whatnot. Oh, and Halloween's coming up in a couple days. That should be... bearable. I've decided since I have no money, my costume's gonna be "the Kid Who Shows Up To Your Doorstep Who's Obviously Too Old To Still Be Trick-Or-Treating." That's just called lazy. I had plenty of costume ideas, don't get me wrong, it's just I have no time and if I had money, there are way, WAY better things I could spend it on.
