Re: What made YOU happy today?
I fly in less than 9 hours! Also, spent the day with a friend after I finished packing.
Seattle is warmer than Kaiserslautern, but I still expect to use my all-weather coat due to the rain. Snow would have actually been better since I have no rain jacket or boots for during the day.
Finally, I have a two hour layover in London. Gonna enjoy the crap out of that with some cider and pub food.

I assure you, snow would not have been better - snow in Seattle tends to mean buses skidding off of overpasses. No one knows how to drive on ice here.
Rain I can handle, even cold rain.

Re: What made YOU happy today?
Well, whatever weather there is, I'm coming in! I got my hair cut Saturday, so hopefully it'll still be looking sharp by Tuesday night. I probably won't shave until Tuesday night, mainly because I look so dashing with a bit of stubble.
Super excited! I already called my credit card company before leaving and warned them to expect giant charges on the 7th. I'm gunning for the guest appearance in the comic, but I've set a 2k spending limit. So, I'll probably not get it...this time.

Yeah, that one is gonna be astronomical! I'm so nervous that I'm going to miss a train or something - bah! All will be well, I'm sure.

30 hours to get from Germany to Seattle. Jimminy fucking Cricket, I am exhausted. Quick workout then collapsing into bed. BEC, sending you a PM about tomorrow.

Sooo... Last week, Michelle's car was parked outside of her sister's house, and was totaled by a hit-and-run driver. Garbage.
BUT... she got a call from her insurance company, and they're going to be giving her a few grand MORE than she originally paid for it. Sweet.

On the one hand, I hope that driver gets some punishment, but on the other hand they did just give you a sweet payout.

Re: What made YOU happy today?
In my defense, I am an artist. My brain is not wired for math. That stated, I did well in the class. I just hope I did well on the final.

You can be both an artist and excellent at math, provided that you're sf artist.

See, there's my problem. Too many elves and goblins, and not enough spaceships and robots in my formative years.

Re: What made YOU happy today?
I totally blame the cartoons of my childhood (Robotech/Voltron/Battle of the Planets/etc) for my tendency to make every project have at least five main characters, usually with an individual colour scheme.Bustertheclown wrote:See, there's my problem.

Realism is over-rated

Re: What made YOU happy today?
Are you saying that we shouldn't have characters with individual colour schemes?
Back to the drawing board.

I think I'm pretty clear on my opinion of colour schemes:McDuffies wrote:Are you saying that we shouldn't have characters with individual colour schemes?

I totally blame the cartoons of my childhood (He-Man/Thundercats/Pirates of Dark Water/ etc) for my tendency to make every project have at least a dozen erotically overmuscled male characters, usually with giant... um... weapons.RobboAKAscooby wrote:I totally blame the cartoons of my childhood (Robotech/Voltron/Battle of the Planets/etc) for my tendency to make every project have at least five main characters, usually with an individual colour scheme.Bustertheclown wrote:See, there's my problem.
