Things accomplished so far today: two three four five seven.

Things needed to be accomplished today: Eleventy bazillion - 7.

From my mother...

if you are looking for a job...

...Target seems to need a search engine specialist...I typed in conair hair braider and it produced 4420 hits. The first one was the DVD Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Alwhatever

(Mom's a weaver and is having shoulder and hand problems, making it hard to twist fringe at the moment, and was looking for the hair braider for that.)

Communities, anyone?

Prompted by a thought from coffee_and_ink in the post on manga stories and cliches, I've just registered the community manga_talk for discussion and analysis of manga. It may or may not go anywhere - I did this on impulse and will think for a while on exactly what it should cover. homemade_manga is more geared towards the act of making manga, mostly with art posted and getting crit for it, so I'm thinking straight art crit posts should be directed over there, although I can see where they could become springboards for discussion. But, heck, I'm open to anything.

I've started throwing a few interests into the profile. Anyone wanna be a mod? You get issued with a shiny new modstick and banhammer, more because I like saying "modstick" and "banhammer" than because I think they'll be necessary. (I figure anything gets too heated, I'm pointing it out to fandom_wank or i_wank and letting the mockery do its thing.)

Thoughts? Ideas? Bueller? Bueller?

And oh yeah - I started fic_sans_pareil quite some time ago for recs of outstanding fic, and it promptly leapt into obscurity. I wandered over there for the first time in ages and saw that a number of you had joined the comm - does anyone feel like rescuing it from oblivion? :) My original idea was for it to feature recs more like reviews, where the poster spent a little bit of time talking aobut why they found the fic so good (or at least pointed to links elsewhere where they did that), but if anyone wants to take over or be a mod or whatever, they're welcome to change it to whatever they want.


Heading to the grocery store and home now - will wait and see if anyone makes any comments by the time I get home. :)

This is the picture of Sesshoumaru right after I scanned it in (in two parts) and merged the two files. It's at the size I inked it at - although it's still at 72ppi for Web display, so looks a wee bit blocky - but you can see the ink blobs and where I managed to drag my hand and where the French curve I was using to steady my pen on the sword slipped. And how I overdid the lines on the hair, making it into tentacles, and had to erase a lot of that to make it nice and smooth-flowing.

And, oh yeah, where I figured out that his face was wonky and before I fixed it.

( TEH HORRER! )
