Hilarious "Mary Sue" comic

God, that's funny stuff... made my day, it did. At least so far. ;-)

"The Meatrix"

Wow, two great links in one day...

Click the red pill at the end of the animation to go to a page with lots more info.

Very slickly produced and packaged, and it communicates a really important message about where our food actually comes from and the consequences of factory farming. Thanks, cockatiel_art, for bringing this to my attention.

What?

What... I actually have to pry myself out of the apartment and go get groceries? >.< Bugger.

I'm at a point where my energy levels are up and I feel a bit more hopeful about life, but I still cringe at the thought of leaving the safety of these walls and walking a couple of blocks to the grocery store. I suppose it's a mild form of agoraphobia. I know the walk will be good for me physically as well as psychologically, but I remain afraid of actually doing it.

On the other hand, I could look at the background image at neo_ex_machina forever.

Mmmmm, Keanu and Hugo... :-)~~~~

*sigh* Guess I'll go get cleaned up and put some clothes on. Sometimes the only way I can get things done is to take it one very simple step at a time. First, get the water running in the bathroom sink...

ETA: On a very positive note, the Site Guru over on GAFF actually moved my "Hi! I'm New!" thread from the broken-and-locked Gabbery forum to the Gabbery II forum. This is amazing to me, in part because s/he took the time to do so, and in part because s/he specifically said that s/he would NOT be moving any threads for fear of crashing the entire site. It appears to be the only thread moved from Gabbery to Gabbery II... wow. I'm honored that s/he thought it important enough to take the risk.

Color me both pleased and impressed.

Groceries and nudists, oh my!

Got out to the grocery store and picked up bread and bagels (yummy with herb & garlic cream cheese spread), as well as a few frozen-dinner type thingies to keep me going during what's going to be a working weekend.

All the Hardy Boys pages for GN4 but one are now up, PLUS a new cover for the second graphic novel that they want me to color (they're reissuing it, and the original cover did not show the characters that actually appear in the volume). The six-page preview for GN5 also has not yet hit the FTP site; Jim says he's on it. (He actually phoned me this morning -- minor panic when I picked up the message this afternoon, I HATE hearing from editors personally, it always makes me wonder what's wrong ;-)). The cover has to be done by Monday, which shouldn't be too much of a problem, but... arggghhh. Sometimes this profession just revs my engine the wrong way.

Trying to do 10 lb weight lifting as I'm at the computer, to get some physical exercise. It's not much, but better than nothing, which is what I'd much rather be doing at the moment. *sigh*

Well, at least it's Friday night, and the R-rated Steamy Windshields themed movie package is running on Drive-In Classics. God, I love that channel.

Dr. Seuss writes for Star Trek: The Next Generation

Wow, THREE great links in one day...

An excerpt:

Picard
Sigma Indri, that's the star,
So, Data, please, how far? How far?

Data
Our ship can get there very fast
But still the trip will last and last
We'll have two days til we arrive
But can the Indrans there survive?

Picard
LaForge, please give us factor nine.

LaForge
But, sir, the engines are offline!

Picard
Offline! But why? I want to go!
Please make it so, please make it so!

Riker
But sir, if Geordi says we can't,
We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't,
The danger here is far too great!

Picard
But surely we must not be late!


God, I love GAFF -- I always find the best stuff there. :-D
