...good looking character.
Margo Grande (Lady Grande's other daughter) is also rather young for her position as well, accepting a full professorship at Metroplex University (Formerly the U of Washington) Seattle, NA at the age of 26. A graduate of King's College Cambridge (UK), she began her post secondary education at the age of 15 and earned her second doctorate in Applied Archeology (actually a very important occupation after the "Awakening") at the age of only 22. She also has an uncanny talent for solving puzzles and cryptograms, a talent she inherited from her late father, Lord Reginald.
...and she knows how to wield a Claymore as well as being a dead shot with a PJSS Express Rifle.
OK, guess I need to do a pic of her tonight. (ended up working on Lady Grande's resident druid, Myste, last night).
As to RL stuff, checked the balance and have enough in the account (barely) to make it though the rest of the week.
the Wagner ring cycle? :)
...yep, the only opera I actually like (along with those by CM Von Weber) as I can actually grasp the language and totally love the music.
I'm pretty young for my age, too! :lol:
Dana
...I like to feel young for my age, however that is when ol' Uncle Arthur decides to show up to remind me of how old I truly am.
...ugh tech failures. Had enough of them in my time.
Had one of those the other night. CD stopped working and while trying to troubleshoot, it burnt my dinner. Everything lights up, there is a signal, however nothing comes out of the speakers.
Odd that now CD's are "old hat" because of MP3. At least with a CD, tape or *gasp* vinyl record, it was a one time purchase and as long as you didn't sell copies you you could play it indefinitely (well, until it wore out). This whole MP3 thing is a total bust as you are basically "renting" music for a limited time, and the selection, particularly for the type of music I like, is somewhat limited.
...just more stuff heading into the clouds...
...thank the goddess for second hand record/CD stores.
Yeah, a Summoner in Vicky's world can call up some really strange and super-dangerous critters. :bug:
This one NEEDS to be deadly, it's guarding.. something... oops can't tell you!
Teh Trout of Power? ;-)
...The Black Moray of the Marianas Dark Depths...
The hair is problematic on her right now, it doesn't conform all that well to the figure.. will probably change it before I finalize her design. :-S
This is all just "3D sketches"..
Been doodling with coloured lights all night :lol:
...now that looks very creepy.
I often mess with not just light colour, but shadow and even Occlusion colour as well to get a certain mood or effect.
...I've missed so many sales over the last year, I lost count.

Sounds like an interesting character. :)
Urgh on the money end.. I hope you can make it until your first Payday :long:
...I've missed so many sales over the last year, I lost count.
Last Thursday there was a sale for one day on 4 things in my wishlist, and I was broke.. :long:
Oh well...
Home again - broke, so no going out. Glad tomorrow is Payday... :blank:
Listening to Ambient Online Compilation #3, some surprisingly good stuff there. :coolsmile:
Tonights fun - back up time! Been 3 months, argh, back up quick! :ahhh:
Then, work on fleshing out Night Wings, I need to make it good since I'm planning a series with the same characters and locations.
Five beers in the fridge (3 Stella, 2 Heineken).. should be more than enough for the evening! :vampire:
I really need to spend time with some of my Genesis 1 stuff, it looks as good to me as Genesis 2 so far...!
...Thor's Tag und Beschwerde Zeit.
--Had to wait again for a place to sit (about 30 min). Similar situation as Monday which is precipitated by the tight seating arrangement after the remodel. Seems Starbucks has taken a page from the airlines' playbook and trying to cram as many people as they can in the smallest amount of space possible.
--City traffic. Being predominantly a pedestrian, I have come to really loathe the traffic here where I live. Yesterday it took me (at least) ten minutes to cross the busy street in my neighbourhood on the way home as I couldn't "buy" a break in the traffic. When it looked as if there was one, then cars from the cross streets would zip out and turn taking away what few (breaks) there were. Part of it is due to just too high a speed limit on this street for the neighbourhood, part is due to incredibly poorly timed traffic signals at the two controlled intersections several blocks to the west and east (basically when one turns red the other turns green, so there is always fast moving heavy traffic in one direction and no safety island or boulevard to wait on in the middle), and part is due to the "staggered" intersections for the cross streets (basically none of the intersections between the two lights are true "4-ways" making it appear to drivers that you are jaywalking). They really need a marked and lit crosswalk (with flashing lights and an island), unfortunately as usual, it will most likely take someone being maimed or killed before something is done to fix the issue. Too high a price to pay in my book..
Keine Beschwerden:
--Just received a call several minutes ago from the new job and everything checked out fine (as I expected) so in five and a quarter days I will be back among the employed (now watch, I'll hit the Megabucks on Saturday :cheese: ).
--Yet another nice day (albeit a little breezy) before a the upcoming weekend heat wave. September here is usually the nicest month of the year weather-wise. The advanced forecast for the first day of Autumn is sunny & 80° (not all that unusual). Better enjoy it while I can as in a month it will be cold, windy, and rainy until May.
Agh, it's once again it's another episode of Starbucks After School. If you need to create preteen and teen characters for your works, this is definitely the place to be for inspiration.
...if you just want to feel ancient,: ditto.
mann, teens are rich these days they can buy a 5 dollar latte.
Last Thursday there was a sale for one day on 4 things in my wishlist, and I was broke.. :long:
Oh well...
thats how they get our money ;)
i'm seeing mr mole for gn1 on sale all of a sudden half off. these suckers would scare space pirates.
...more like a 5.50$ Frappachino + a 2.95$ pastry. What I see just one of them spend in a day today here would have lasted me at least two maybe even three weeks.
Then there's the 100$ smartphone and latest school fashions (can't be caught wearing second hand or last year's stuff). When mum bought my brothers and I a slot car race set for Christmas that cost almost 50$, it was an almost unfathomable amount of money to us (back when you could feed a family of 5 well for a week on less than 30$).
Dang I thought I was flush when I had enough in my pocket after school for a 16 oz bottle of Coca Cola, a 3 oz bag of Old Dutch Garlic & Onion potato crisps, and a Chunky or Kit Kat bar. If I needed to use a phone to call friends on the way home, there was always a public telephone box for a nickel per call (usually called only one friend & had them spread the message to meet).
Back then "coffee shops" were either greasy spoons and diners, or those strange places where the older beatniks hung out at and listened to poetry & bebop.
...it's just a little coffeehouse,
made out of wood.
Espresso coffee tastes,
mighty good...

The difference in lifestyles today is almost unfathomable.
My allowance was $4 a week, a huge pile of cash. I cleared wooded lots to get guitar money. I bought my own first car with a little help from Dad, and he showed me how to fix it up. Coffee, I had at home, why buy it? Hung out Fridays at the local soda shop, not kidding, 2 blocks from high school (all the drama club folks went there). Nothing was a given, nothing was a right, there was no "sense of entitlement" to anything. I did get paid for good grades (three bucks for an A, holy carp)! I loved report card time.. lol..
Now my co-workers whine about "having" to buy the kid an XBox, PS4, iPhone.. geebus.. even in 1970 dollars that's a shedload of cash.
I kind of wonder what kind of jobs these kids will end up with. Human labor is CHEAP, there are 500 applicants for even a menial job.. IF anyone doesn't feel that work is "below" them.
Yep, and the kid moves home soon enough. The world is a hard, rough, mean place, and nothing comes for free.
Ok, rant over, back to Night Wings and Stella. :red: :red:
watching underworld again. iz very blue lighting
lucian, what a perfect name for a lycan
the blond vampire lady is cute

Rant begets rant (theme of the thread though)..
All the living wage middle class jobs are being shipped overseas.
It's either pile up another mountain of debt going back to college for several years (and even then that is no guarantee) or just accept the fact that best you'll find is some minimum wage schlep position (which is basically what I will be starting next week - at almost age 61).
Crikey, in my last job, after 18 years with all the responsibility I had maintaining the billing for our most important client's account, I was only earning 2.25$ above our state's minimum with expenses like the average rent for a (small) 1BR is being 750$, utilities add another 150$ (more during the winter) and even a monthly transit pass costs 100$ for oft undependable service.
..oh yeah then I have to add probably another 150$ a month for health coverage.
Welcome to the Lifestyles of the Poor and Ignored
...well, on that note been here too long, time for dinner (at least I have funds for food, just not beer or other things).
...fitting, ol "blue Eyes' " That's Life is currently playing.
...be back tomorrow, sometime, some channel.
It looks like I made it through the day in one piece. Good night
Carefully :lol:
Slept half the day away, was only going to snooze for another 5 after the alarm went off :lol:
Been doodling with coloured lights all night :lol:
Has a nice effect.
Hey, waiter, there's a giraffe in my subway! :lol:

Think it missed the last train :)
