Samsung S2 External Hard Drive, a weekend project
I am so, so, so glad I bought this Samsung S2 External Hard Drive. I had so much fun unboxing the little fucker.
Porn, music, gifs, jpegs... the possibilities are endless. Finally got to unclutter my PC and my laptop. I put every single file, pic, movie clip, application that I wasn't using and WHAM! it all goes into the external hard drive. Little by little, day by day I decide what goes and what stays.
Some weekend project I got myself into indeed.

I've come to accept a life without "love" in the same way amputees come to accept the loss of a limb... and it feels... meh, so-so.
I was a very loving boy; too bad I dumped years and years worth of love into the abyss.
And that's just silly; I knew that the abyss would never answer back.
I dumped love and money into the abyss. I used to think, inside my stupid head, that "the only thing women want from you is $$$$."
Now women have their own goals and their own financial freedom and I couldn't for the life of me tell you what women want anymore.
I'm out of ideas and speculation alone won't help.
Good to know the limitations of one's own understanding on the matter.
Oops! You live and learn.
I remember how it felt to fall in love: Felt like having my blood turn to diarrhea. No fun.
No!
Actually...
It felt more like having an ear infection inside your heart.
An ear infection inside your heart.
Shit!
Shit would throw you off balance, make you feel miserable 24/7. Wouldn't wish cupid's arrow on anyone; not even Hitler. No way!
Some people go out of their way to intercept cupid's arrow. Good for them. Someone has to procreate. Someone has to pick up the slack. Some people have gotten to the rich, creamy nougat center of life. Good for them.
I used to log into Facebook every day and draw a sick satisfaction out of browsing through wedding pictures and thinking "See it this way: months from now the first baby pictures will show up and when you look at those baby albums you'll feel much better for 'dodging that bullet'". But then Facebook started following me even after I logged out. God damn it. Enjoy the Twitter (while it lasts)
It's not even February. Pathetic. Thank you Stolichnaya.
Played around with the GIMP again. Made a li'l snippet of animation.
Going to bed. I have to re-adjust my biological clock.
Gotta suck out all the marrow of life like a motherfucker (while I still can)

Dwarf, midget, little person walk cycle
Started working on a dwarf walk cycle.
One day this scene from Total Recall popped into my mind:
I looked for it on youtube. Found it. Wanted to have the Dwarf, midget, little person (choose your PC term) hooker do a walk cycle.
Problem is I knew nothing about dwarf (I already chose my PC term for the purposes of this blog entry) anatomy.
Never thought I'd see the day when I'd have to do some research to do a walk cycle right.
And I still don't know if it looks "natural" but this is my first go at it.
One problem down, 99 problems to go.
Total Recall's getting remade? Get the fuck outta here!

Blogger Title Meta Tag And Individual Posts Meta Tag
This applies to Blogger blogs.
A WARNING: BEFORE YOU TINKER WITH THE HTML CODE, CLICK ON "DOWNLOAD FULL TEMPLATE" AND SAVE YOUR CURRENT TEMPLATE SO THAT IN CASE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP WHILE CHANGING THE HTML CODE YOU CAN REVERT TO YOUR OLD TEMPLATE.
You don't want to learn that the hard way.
So, I've spent these past few days fiddling around with my blogger.
I had to change a lot of html and in the process of doing so, added some meta tags for the sake of Search Engine Optimization.
Log into your Blogger account, go to Dashboard->design->edit HTML and check the EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES box.
Look for:
<head>
RIGHT BELOW IT PASTE THIS:
< b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://YOURBLOGURL.com/"'>
< meta content='BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOG' name='description'/>
< meta content='KEYWORDS, RELEVANT, TO, YOUR, BLOG, SEPARATED, BY, COMMAS' name='keywords'/>
Save your template.
If a warning pops up telling you that your template could not be saved don't worry... after all, you did save your old template, didn't you?
If everything goes well you will see a message saying "your changes have been saved. View blog"
After you've done that and whenever you feel compelled to write a worthwhile blog post you can add meta tags to individual blog posts thusly:
Go look for that meta tag you just put into your html:
< b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://YOURBLOGSURL.com/"'>
< meta content='BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOGGITY BLOG BLOG' name='description'/>>
< meta content='KEYWORDS, PERTAINING, TO, YOUR, BLOG, SEPARATED, BY, COMMAS' name='keywords'/>
and IMMEDIATELY ABOVE IT PLACE THIS META TAG FOR INDIVIDUAL BLOG POSTS:
<META CONTENT='YOUR BLOG POSTS TITLE' NAME='Title'/>
<META CONTENT='YOUR NAME' NAME='Author'/>
<META CONTENT='BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR BLOG POST' NAME='Description'/>
<META CONTENT='KEYWORDS, RELEVANT, TO, YOUR, BLOG, POST, SEPARATED, BY, COMMAS' NAME='Keywords'/>
<META CONTENT='All' NAME='Robots'/>
Save your template and that's it.
I post this because I've looked for the individual blog post meta tag everywhere and I've tried many versions of the individual post meta tag but, so far, the meta tag I just shared with you is the only one that doesn't give me an error message when I save the template. But, like everything else in life, it all comes down to trial and error.
Häppy blogging.

"A Zombie Apocalypse Nightmare"
Clarissa Darling was there.
Kimmy Gibbler was there too.
This is the sort of shit I dream about on weekends or lazy, lazy workdays.
I googled "Zombie Apocalypse Nightmare" and so far none of the interpretations
for "A Zombie Apocalypse Nightmare" have made any sense.

How to get Windows Movie Maker speed up and slow down filter
I've been looking for this filter just about everywhere and now I jizzed in my pants when I finally found it.
Just go to Blaine's movie maker blog. Blaine's blog must have a shitload of stuff for windows movie maker but this time I'll concentrate on the speed up/slow down filter.
The instructions are pretty much straight forward and to the point. Click on the bunny bunny and the turtle and
the download will begin. You will download a file named CustomSpeedEffects.msi.
In my case it downloaded to my "downloads" file. In your case it may be different.
Just click on CustomSpeedEffects.msi and Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. The next time you open your windows movie maker you will
end up with a set up that looks like this:
Slow down 25%
Slow down 50%
Slow down half
Slow down, x3
Slow down, x4
Slow down, x6
Slow down, x8
Speed up, 25%
Speed up, 50%
Speed up, double
Speed up, x3
Speed up, x4
Speed up, x6
Speed up, x8
And just to prove that I am not just fucking with you:

Obstacles
I had to wait 6 hours to get this thumbnail.
I didn't sleep. It's 1:01 PM. I'm all hazy but not at all hungry.
Not sleepy either, just a bit forgetful of what I wanted to google.

That's Sketchoholic's Daily inspiration.
Animation is a harsh mistress.
I guess this is where my mind goes when I daydream:

Channeling the spirit of the times
Some time ago I read an interview with Katy Perry. It made my piss boil.
I was so enraged that I decided to do a portrait of Katy Perry. I spent hours thinking and thinking and not a single convincing concept to show for. And then Eddie from the Iron Maiden album covers appeared inside my head and Boom!
Eddie’s too obvious... how about the Devil? And Katy Perry’s a reptilian shapeshifter? Sure, fuck yeah, why not.
While looking for forums where I could vent my anger I stumbled upon the facebook page Petition: Bring Iron Maiden back to New Zealand. One of their posts read:
“TVNZ: ‘EMI...The home of Katy Perry and Iron Maiden.’ and they showed a picture of Katy Perry. WTF!? Iron Maiden have been with EMI since their first album was released in 1980 and 13 of their albums have gone Gold/Platinum world wide! They have achieved SOOOOOOOOO much more than that WHORE Katy Perry.”
And it got me thinking “That’s right.”
Today I come to find that “Lady Gaga makes it 3 weeks in a row atop the Billboard Hot 100”
And once more taking up the Iron Maiden motif:
