I must overcome this *bleargh* Well, it turns out the biggest drag of riding the bus is the boredom. I enjoy my long walk to the stops if there's enough light out, and thirteen bucks a week is a decent price for transportation considering what I'm saving on insurance and car payments, but there's not much to do ON the bus. I could read or play video games if not for my horrid motion sickness. If I so much as look at a paragraph of text on a plane, I blow chunks. I tried playing Bejeweled on the iPod (the games work again, by the way Steph), but after about twenty seconds I grew nauseous. I know I could take dramammene every day, but I prefer to put few drugs in my body. Yeah, I know ginger's supposed to help.
Is there a way to overcome motion sickness? If I get myself a little queazy during the busride home and walk it off on the walk from the stop, will that help long-term? How do I get my sea legs?

Brunch of the Damned Brunch of the Damned this Sunday at 11:00 at the Vermont Mustard Company.
If we can take a break from me bitching about Dark Knight, one topic to explore might be: "Without God, what keep the godless from comitting godless acts?" The latter definition of "godless" being "horrible."
Current Mood:non-theist Current Music:Listening to Burn Notice.
No time for Toon Pang Brothers Crap. It's not enough that I can't finish anything, but more ideas keep haranguing me.
I got little done on my month off. Well, I did a bit, but not as much as I wanted. I was going to finish Hearts and Crafts and get that done for once and for all, but since I couldn't meet the deadline for the Nicktoons contest I let it fall by the wayside. It's worth finishing.
I got Harry Potter finished, but that's just one chapter out of thirty-seven chapters. It deals with the intellectual property of the richest woman in children's books, so there's no way I could make money off of it, so ultimately, completing it is a waste of my time (maybe if I had a team of illustrators to help me I could do it, but I don't think it's worth doing more than one more chapter). I can't live off of merchandising like the Homestarrunner guys.
I wanted to dable in Flash erotica and see what kind of money could be made off of that. Perhaps later.
I wanted to draw up Brotherhood of Damn Sassy Mutants and do one of those online comics or interactive online comic book things, but there's no time for that either.
I almost started work on Galactipuss, but no one has really stepped up to help with it aside from a few people getting costumes together and Bill getting me a videotaping space with only two days left to prepare. I might go back to it after Dragoncon.
Last night I was kept awake for a while with a new idea: A fake preview for a porn site. You've all seen those three-minute previews for porn sites like MILF Hunter, Bang Brothers, Brazzers, or Naughty America. Yes you have. Imagine some guy (live action real person) walking around with a a douchebag with a camera looking to pick up someone for the sex and oh look! A hot female toon! Very Coolworld, but with Flash. Not actual porn, just enough set up and quick shots to imply the main event to make it funny. That might be worth it sometime. Maybe set up a joke Toon Pang Brothers website with subset sites like Guy on Toon, Toon on girl (which male toon character should pick up chicks, I wonder?), and of course, hot toon MILFs with a Betty-Rubble-ish type sitting on some human guy's lap. Preview pics only. Fully-to-mostly clothed real people. Could be a laugh. Not real full-on pornography, to clarify. Sample: My appologies, Tony. Either that or you're welcome.
Too much to do.
Also our tattoos were put off a month due to our artist catching strep.
Current Mood: Too much. Current Music:Family Guy in the other room.
Help needed. Share your sassy views. I want to do a cartoon or a comic. I'd like to make it damn sassy. What are some characters from books, television, or movies that you've found particularly sexy? Any races like Vulcans, Elves, or something without pointed ears? Sexy exotic locations like the enchanted lands of Tolkien's exotic fairytale realms of New Zealand? Do share.
Ladies, I especially want your input, as I'd like to later try experimenting cartoons/animations from a ladie's perspective.
Thank you.

I'm the only one who hated Dark Knight. It's happened to us all at some point. We take a stand on some issue, however small and we are alone in our beliefs, thinking that we are the only ones who see that the Emporer is a naked paper tiger with feet of clay and other mixed metaphors. Only me, flyswatter(Laura), and captnsparrow I did not like "Dark Night." Also, I don't hate Paris Hilton. But back to Batman:
You: What? Sketch, how could you not like it? Sketch: There's a lot not to like, You. You: But Heath Ledger? Sketch: He was a great psychotic character. He wasn't quite the Joker to me, but I was spoiled by Bruce Timm and Mark Hammill. Good stuff for a "swan song" though. You: What about Two-Face? Sketch: That's the part of the movie I really enjoyed. They did a great job with Two-Face, it was a wonderful performance, and the pacing in the reveal scene in the hospital was positively masterful. You: What about Christian Bale? Wasn't he the best Batman ever? Sketch: FUCK YOU! His crappy, lisping voice as Batman made you take a guy in a mask fighting crime even less seriously. You: He did a great Bruce Wayne, though. Sketch: To HELL with that. No one does a great Bruce Wayne, except maybe Clooney in that dutch-angled abortion Shomaker made. You: But it's the best Batman movie EVER! Sketch: *Pokes you in the eye* You: OW, you fucktard! You're the one who brought it up like a surly bitch! Sketch: Point taken.
Rather than bitch on about it, why don't I just list the ways that it could have been better? Find a way to improve matters rather than just complain. First off, take out Hong Kong. It didn't need to be there. You: But it established the cell-phone radar technology. Next, take out the cell-phone radar technology and have the Dark Knight detective do some detecting. The radar just made for confusing, disorienting CG which I'm sure was lovely in IMax. Next take out Rachel and retroactively remove her from the last movie too. She's done nothing to improve the series. Give Dent some other girlfriend or something to turn him bad-ass. It can be done. Next, give the name of Gordon's daughter, Barbara and show her face. Don't just refer to her as "your sister" while you're talking to his wife who is also named Barbara. It's confusing, especially to people who have come to know his daughter in other incarnations of the franchise. Just don't confuse us. Explosions. The Joker seemed to have the power to blow up any-THING any-SIZE any-TIME. Use the time you've taken out of Hong Kong and pointless love interests to show his team circumventing the security that a city of that size would have, even in a universe where 9-11 didn't happen. I'd just like to give Gotham more credit than that.
Also, this supports why I don't hate Hilton: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/64ad536a6d
Edit: I added textures to the paper and a loader page. I also changed the text. It looked to many people as if it were cropped improperly when I was just trying to frame just enough to give the viewer the feel of a children's book without it being to distracting. Instead I made the text fully visible subtitles for the images. I hope you enjoy them.

Dr. Horrible's for free-sies again! In that you need to sit through commercials. If not for the editing of swears and adult situations, Hulu.com would be my favorite place to get content online. Also, Jonathan said that Will Wheaton twittered from comic-con saying that there are plans for an Act IV.
Harry Potter and the Deadly Abridgement. Chapter One: The Dark Lord in the Hiz-ouse. Warning! Contains spoilers, light swearing, and brief nudity. Machines that processed this piece also processed nuts.
I started animating it. Well, illustrating it, really. I've gotten some good feedback and am open to your suggestions for future chapters. Please feel free to pass these files around for others that might enjoy them
Thanks to Bill at ARTC and Brad Weage for the music.
If I get a big enough response, I'll move on to Chapter 2. Also looking for people to help illustrate.
Please spread this around, link it, and cross-post it. This may be my best likely chance at present for net fame if it's good enough.

Dark Knight. Too- Night Steph and I are seeing "Dark Night" at the Movie Tavern tonight at 10:00. 4043 LaVista Road Tucker, GA 30084 (678)680-5782 Here's the menu. Who's in?
Current Mood: vengeance! Current Music:Whatever the hell Steph's watching on Food Network.
Who will be a BadHorseman? Dragoncon idea. Carry around a mustache in your pocket. When you see someone dressed like Dr. Horrible, find two other people who are planning to be Bad Horsemen, nod agreement that it's go time, slap on the mustaches, and the three of you run up to either side of Dr. Horrible and sing one of the Bad Horse Chorus songs.
Who's in?
Current Mood: horse-like Current Music:Hellboy, Blood & Iron
Reviews. Oh, the spoilers I have. I got to see preview screenings of Hellboy II and Momma Mia. Spoilers follow and after you read them you'll wonder why Jesus would let someone as unenthused as I get their hands on these passes.
Moving tomorrow. Hello, good and beautiful friends,
Steph and I will be moving tomorrow and we need help moving our larger furniture. If you could be at our house tomorrow morning before 10:00, it would be much appreciated. We have most of the boxes moved, but some will be left. We are moving from 2302 Shadowood Pkwy to an apartment in the neighboring complex 3712 Shadowood Pkwy, so travel time from frontdoor to frontdoor consists of five minutes tops.
Participants will be compensated with hugs and the option of free pizza at the pool or dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse on Delk near Powers Ferry or similar restaurant picked by the group together.
Thanks much for all of your help,
Sketch and Steph
