| Man, I've had some busy times lately; Disney World, going up to Vermont to see Megan, finally working on Five Star again regularly (and actually making a few pages so far that I don't hate!) and of course, worrying furiously about school plans.
I called the school I was planning on attending, and they told me that it's going to be a challenge to get in with a cartooning/illustration portfolio. The woman I spoke to on the phone said right out that the portfolio review board is "prejudiced" against that kind of work. Something about the master's thesis show. She made it sound like the major reason was because they liked the show to look good, which is the biggest bullshit I've ever heard. What does that have to do with teaching? Maybe I don't want to go there after all. Also, she said that the program was very intensive, and they wanted students who would be prepared for that. How does my genre of work reflect how prepared I am for study?
It made me pretty angry.
To counteract that, the most surreal moment of my trip to Disney World: standing in the World Showcase in EPCOT and realizing that the familiar sounding song on the sound system is in fact, by Hedningarna, one of my favorite Scandanavian folk groups. Somehow, I just never imagined hearing "Bierdna" outside of my headphones. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment   |

| I totally want to apologize for what I said about that girl's art in that pointless post last night. Who am I to say something looks un-original?
I feel really bad now, even though I know she'll never read this. :C | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| Man, I thought I was DONE having crushes on fictional characters. I thought that ended in like, high school.
APPARENTLY NOT.
When I was in England I borrowed Going Postal from the library (because lord knows the first thing I do when I settle into a place is acquire a library card). Even since I read it, I've been looking forward to the sequel, Making Money. And it's out now. And I'm borrowing it from the library here. And I have such a crush on Moist von Lipwig.
It doesn't help that I found these illustrations of him that make him look totally adorable.
(although most of her art looks like she pasted together various disney characters, with skill if not with originality.)
On a slightly related note, I was reading a discussion about fanfiction, which I'm very on the fence about, and I realized that the second most annoying thing in the "genre" is when people try to emulate the style of the original author. Come on, people. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |

| Last week I finally got some snails set up in my long-empty fish tank. It wasn't going so well- the two guppies I put in with them died (actually, one disappeared mysteriously. I still have no idea where he is). The snailies weren't doing much better- they mostly stayed in their shells, sometimes hanging out in a very worrisome way. The one baby snail died, most likely from temperature fluctuations. :C
I did a water change today, and the two remaining snails (Moss and Blue) seem to be feeling better.
Much better, actually, because at this moment they are having sex with each other*. AAUGH! I was really hoping not to get a male and a female, but oh well. I'm just going to feel really bad when I have to perform a snailbortion on the eggs.
*Either that or Moss is eating Blue. It's kind of hard to tell. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Awww darn! I forgot to make something to post up for April Fools on girlamatic. I was too busy with my picture for Gamiversary, which is going on all this week! (My pic is going to be up tomorrow)
However, this just made my day: http://movies.ign.com/articles/863/863492p1.html
LEGEND OF ZELDA THE MOVIE. OMG GUYZ IT IS TOTALLY REAL!!

I got it from this movie, which I could watch forever. I like the part where a snail molests King Dedede.

| I had a dream that I was being executed for making some sort of very bad mistake at work (not my job at the credit union, this was some other made-up job.) One of my supervisors was also being executed (these were my supervisors from my real job) because I saw her name on a dry-erase board that listed all the upcoming executions.
Somehow, I knew that the lethal injection that they were going to give me wasn't going to work, so I wasn't terribly concerned about it, and made a plan. I would pretend that I had died and come back as a ghost. This would both freak my bosses out AND explain why I was still hanging around.
The day came, and my plan went into action. The execution itself was performed by my supervisors, including the one who was getting executed herself the next day, so that was kind of dramatic. Pretending to be a ghost mostly consisted of staring at things, moving really slowly, and talking very little. Somehow this managed to convince people. My mom knew about the plan, but nobody else really did.
The only other part I remember was sitting at a table when Rob and Darryl came by. Rob was shocked that my hand didn't go through his, and I whispered, "Dude I'm not really dead!" and he was pretty surprised but I couldn't explain it because I was afraid we might be overheard and found out. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| I've probably done this one before, but what the hell.
1. Put your music player on "random." Skip songs with not-very interesting titles (such as "Concerto #4 in E minor")
2. List the titles of the first 25 songs to come up.
3. Put "in my pants" after each title.
4. Bold the ones that actually made you laugh

| I had a really awful dream about one of my co-workers, and now it's going to be weird talking to him today. :C
Also, part of the dream took place at your house, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kotek. Wow! Although it didn't really look like your house.
Oh I had another dream where there was like, some sort of commission fair? It was like speed-dating, but for artists to hook up with people interested in commissioning pictures. I don't think that's such a bad idea! | | comments: Leave a comment |

| A few days ago my dad was moving my car and lost my keys somewhere. We had no idea where. We searched all over for these stupid keys.
Yesterday he had them replaced. My dad bought two sets. It wasn't cheap.
Guess what he found this morning out in the snow?
That's right.
My keys.
Oh yeah, people. This is my life. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Auughhh. I almost collapsed at work today. I started feeling sick in the afternoon and about an hour before we closed I had to go sit in the back to recover. Too bad it was while I was supposed to be handing a lady 800 bucks. My supervisors had to take over.
I think I was just dehydrated. It was really warm in the building today and I hadn't had much to drink. Aiiii. I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow but I know that I should. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| Oh man, I just saw Persepolis and guys, it was so good. Beautiful! (Although I totally admit that probably my favorite part was when she throws up reading the play. I AM SO CLASSY.)

| I...I think I almost had a heart attack today.
It was very busy, very crazy, two supervisors were out, and our machines kept going down. There are entire chunks of time that I just can't recall.
However, one woman trumped the entire rest of the day when she walked her nasty, poisonous self into our branch. She became upset that I wouldn't give her cash or a balance without her state ID, and then pressured me to hurry up anyway because SHE WAS IN A HURRY AND WAS "ON-CALL." (I guess she seriously thought she was the only person in a hurry?). I can't really re-type the whole interaction out, because it's long and I've already repeated it a lot, but I will pass on this little delightful remark she spat at me:
"Oh, well, what can you expect from someone who only makes 7 dollars an hour? Oh, that's right. Minimum wage is $7.15."
(I've corrected her grammar, because in her hurry to insult me she spoke awkwardly.)
Ugh. I tried to google her, but found nothing. She's obviously not as important as she thinks she is. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |

Although I'm not a terrible fan of movie elitism either (experiencing a film?) this pretty much sums up why I'd never bother to put movies on my ipod or cell phone or whatever. (Also, songs on my cell-phone? Why would I ever want to do that to music that I actually like?) | | comments: Leave a comment |
