Gun

After two weeks of immobilisation, I'm finally doing laundry and the dishes. When I went to get a dish cloth, I found Aunt Tudi's gun and the bullets. Diane is coming over to get it. I did call her. I'm trying.

Chores from Hell

• Four loads of laundry done


• Five sinks of dishes washed


• House vacuumed


• Bathroom scubbed


• Dog's water bistro cleaned

Just finished.

This is what happens when you do nothing for two weeks straight, kiddies. The price of depression.

Here's hoping I don't do this again. Gonna do my best to stay on top of things.

The Tim Roth Tutorials on Vimeo

Because of some copyright issues inhumanely adhered to by You Tube, some of the Tim Roth Tutorials were unavailable for viewing in some countries (mainly the US). In an effort to make them all accessible to everyone, I've uploaded all the current videos to Vimeo. The video album's link is here: http://vimeo.com/album/1910275

From here on out, each Tutorial will be uploaded to both You Tube and Vimeo. I'll be embedding the You Tube videos here, but I will include the link to each Tutorial on Vimeo as well.

For those following the Tutorials, I hope this helps out and that you enjoy them.

The Tim Roth Tutorials, Lessons 51 thru 57

These are included in the Vimeo album I just posted the link to, so I'm not gonna rehash myself and post the individual links. I'll start doing that with Lesson #58. Hope these tickle your funny bone and, if you dig The Roth the way I do, flips your pancake.

Tarmian Cadmus Fresco

I haven't abandoned this project. It's just taking me longer than expected, basically because I haven't been doing anything important lately, for obvious reasons. Anyway, here's the latest development. I only have to pencil in the skin tone and the Basin of Blue Flame, and the piece will be finished, unless I decide to do some sort of background for it. I doubt I will, though. It's been so long since I've done any serious art, I'm afraid I'll screw this up if I go too far. Anyway, here's what I have so far.

Bully

I am 100% sympathetic with members of the GLBT being bullied, but I take issue with the inclination of the public acting like they are the only ones who are or have ever been bullied. Here is a most-decidedly incomplete list of people who have been or are bullied:

• "fat" kids (I know this firsthand and in SPADES)


• small kids


• poor kids


• shy kids


• the sports-challenged


• kids who have developed faster than others (this more-often applies to girls whose breasts are very developed)


• kids who aren't as "smart" as their contemporaries


• "geeks," "nerds," and other kids who are "smarter" than their contemporaries


• non-xtians

I implore the media to give these kids equal time to the gay kids who are mercilessly bullied by those who feel they are entitled to do so. If you don't, there is an absolute certainty that another Columbine will happen in the future, when kids bullied beyond their capacity to deal decide to turn the gun on those other than themselves.

Think for godssake.
