I know I mentioned the comm only like two posts ago, so I'll make this quick: enigmaopoeia has made this excellent at-a-glance cast and ranking list for wvba_lockerroom. So if there's anyone who might be interested at all in joining, feel free to take a glance at it.

Oh also, I started playing Henry Hatsworth again. It's addictive, and I didn't realize how great the music was until I actually played it with headphones. I was confused as to how nobody'd ripped the music yet, but it turns out that the soundtrack was being offered online, for free, from the official website. What a class act!

I'm not a very happy person lately. Our oldest cat is getting put down tonight, I'm going to get like eight shots in the space of a month, and I'm finishing up my second go-round of driver's ed (long story, really don't want to talk about it) and preparing everything to transfer to UMBC in the fall. Even if it's not all bad, it's very stressful. Maybe I just need a nap.

In the meantime, I've been drawing. And RPing, which has been loads of fun. Yesterday I went around Livejournal taking glances at different RPs (sumabura_gakuen, damned, fissionmailed, and some others), just for research's sake I guess. More than anything else, it makes me feel relieved that I chose to make wvba_lockerroom what it is: a small, homey, uncomplicated RP, emphasis on "uncomplicated." That it's been able to spark activity among people who don't think of themselves as RPers is really ego-boosting, because it takes a lot of the politics out of it. I guess that'd make it the equivalent of a casual game!

DC and I got this amazing book today. It's called Super Doodle, and it bills itself as "over 300 pictures to complete and create." It's basically a book of prompts, like art or writing prompts, except intended for children and really, really fun. But you know me, we're bad people.

[EDIT: ALSO for all woovaba people, going to make the wvba_oot community tomorrow and whatnot]

God help me, these comics are terrible. brb, scanning the Punch-Out ones.

[edit: ok they are up, at http://community.livejournal.com/wvba_lockerroom/4508.html ]

http://bit.ly/Y3dZM The Best of the Nintendo Comics System is kind of a misnomer, because these comics are all terrible. But I really, really really want to read the rest of the Punch-Out comics (only one of them has ever been scanned and put online, it looks like). There's a copy there for only $2 with shipping and I'm very tempted, but it doesn't say which stories are in the anthology. Does anyone have a copy of this or can verify what stories it has? I'm mostly interested in "The Outsiders" and "Fox and Hounds." Especially that last one, it has Super Macho Man in it.

for Klik of the Month Klub! Yes it's made in Klik N Play. Yes it's absolutely terrible. It's called ESCAPE FROM CROATIA and are you bad enough to ESCAPE FROM CROATIA???



ESCAPE FROM CROATIA.

VOTE DAPHNY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

They approved her nomination two days late so she really really needs votes! IT'S DOWN TO CRUNCH TIME

WHY VOTE DAPHNY? BECAUSE DAPHNY IS THE ENEMA THAT LIVEJOURNAL NEEDS.

seriously it's not like you guys care about the lj election anyway so DDO IT

pop'n music for wii!

It looks like proper pop'n music characters are going to make their way Stateside, which is awesome. I only wish that they had legs, but since it looks like we're just going to be seeing them from the waist up it shouldn't matter too much. I think the controls are going to work out, too...hopefully they have a classic control mode though.

Dream list of characters and why they aren't going to be in it:
Zizz actually could make it in, he's a big ol' fan favorite in Japan. As long as we're not getting 15 ADVENTURE CS ever, can we at least have Zizz on the Wii?
Boy I'm still holding out hope for.
Yima would be amazing, but he really needs his long legs :(
RGB is entirely possible and would also be adorable
Kirico has never made an appearance after pop'n music 10 so it's not going to happen, but he'd look so shiny on the Wii :(
Warudoc probably isn't going to be in it because he looks goofy enough as is. He'd just look even sillier in weeble-wobble form!
MEBAE: legs.

Every time someone on Youtube asks me how I know DeceasedCrab, I make up a one-Youtube-comment-long short story in the genre of my choice. I have quite a collection by now and people on twitter wanted to read them, so:

( 'How did you and DC meet?' )

I really wanted a few of these Madworld stickers, since I started playing Madworld and love it to pieces. But on eBay there were only two auctions for them! One had one sticker for two dollars, and one had forty-five stickers for three dollars. Well, I just couldn't pass up a deal like that!

So now I have 44 stickers left. Uh...does anyone want one?

( I took that CAUTION sign and turned it to sticker. )

I'd love to make more stickers like these. The only problem is that sticker paper, and bumper sticker paper, is really expensive :( I bought five sheets of both the other day and they cost me ten bucks each, isn't that ridiculous? Maybe I should just contact a printing place next time and have them do it...

Did this for DC tonight. Gonna make some stickers out of it. If anyone else wants it you can take it :B

Eventually this whole Punch-Out fascination is going to run its course, but it's probably not going to be anytime soon, haha. Sorry for everyone on my flist who is just like UGH, GAY BOXERS 9_9

Speaking of gay boxers, wvba_lockerroom is going swimmingly! We already have six people in there! Six! That's a little less than half the cast of a Punch-Out game, so we're doing really well I think. I've started making posts and commenting around on a couple people as glassyjawed, so hopefully we can get some momentum going. I'd like to thank all you cool kids who have helped out so far by joining, it means a lot to me. After the great big zero that was the Tazmily Village RP (which was really all my fault because I had to leave for a month after making it), this is really getting my spirit up.

brb forever

We were talking about romance novels.

Mom: "Actually, if you're interested in some well-written romance novels, try Georgette Heyer. They're part of those Regency drawing-room books, meticulously researched, and a wonderful example of the mores of the time."
Me: "MORAYS?! *makes swimmy arm motions*"
Mom: "No, no, they're horizontal, it's more like this. *swimmy arm motion*"
Me: "Ohhh."
Mom: "But if you want to kill a moray, you have to wait until it's resting in a hole or a cave with its mouth open to breathe. Then you shoot a spear at them, slightly angled, so that it goes up and out through the brain."

I need to work on an art project this summer so that I don't lounge around and make all the plants in the house die. Here are a couple ideas (stars next to the ones I'm most likely to do):

( fanwork )

( original )

That's basically it I guess. If you guys have any ideas or suggestions then just toss them into a comment.
