Oi vey...(insert rant about the AFL Grand Final)

2007-09-29T06:28:03Z

*turn on the TV*

Some dude from the Power:
"AAAAAAHHHH MY FACE!!!" *cries* *gets stretchered off weeping like a little baby* *Announcers says something about a Tribunal Hearing later in the week* *cut to guy being stretchered off still crying about getting nailed by an elbow to the jaw*

*swap channels to the AHL*

Some dude from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers:
"MOTHERFUCKER IMMA CUT YOAH FACE!!!" *leaps onto the other guy and starts mashing him into the rink* HOW YA LIKE THEM APPLES BITCH?! *ref calls it off and gets his ass kicked for his trouble* FUCK YOU! HE STARTED IT!!

*clicks off TV*

...

Is it me, or are we Australians getting pussier by the second with our so-called "awesome Aussie Rules Football"?

We prance around in tiny lycra shorts, kicking a goddamned plastic-leather-like excuse for a foozball around a field, and then getting a fucking court martial for some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. You get hit in the face with someone else's elbow and then you retaliate by dropping to the ground crying like some little bitch. AFL is not fucking ballet for shit's sake - if he hits you, do the manly thing and kick his fucking ass back.

The AFL Tribunal is a fucking joke at best. Slap on the wrist for some guy who breaks a guy's jaw in 6 places, and a permanent "get the fuck out" for someone who sprained a ref's ankle running to catch the damned ball before the entirety of the other team tackled into them like a runaway freight train.

Yeah, what the fuck is that shit, Australia?

And do not get me started on the "Grand Final" stuff.
Who's going to win? Some kitty on steroids versus a tri-coloured beanpole.

Yes. Some choices.

I work with 29 other AFL/Port Power MAD women.
Being the only one who doesn't give a flying fuck WHO it is playing, nor gives a shit how much dignity they lose if they lose outright, gets annoying after a while.

"Why don't you like the AFL???"
Straight answer: "Because there's something physically wrong with a man who enjoys the feel of lycra short-shorts and is around 23 other men who claim to be straight whilst wearing those things D:"
Gay answer: "Because they're all gay."

We had some smartass fucker drive a "we support Port" picket into the ground in front of our mailbox yesterday night. Needless to say, I'll be drawing a pic of VJ about that. What I ended up doing to it was quite amusing to our neighbours across the street. Not so amusing to the fucker who drove by and saw what had become of it XD

I was amused actually - the guy that did that to our front lawn is an arrogant homophobe.
HEY - that is what you end up GETTING for driving a pike with a humungous Port Power team flag into our front lawn WITHOUT a shred of permission!

Pic will be up later tonight.
Now James and I are going to enjoy Rush Hour 3.
Ciao!

COMICS!

2007-02-13T07:12:56Z

I spent $45 on comics today. Best $45 I've ever spent too.

If you want a damned good read with sick (re: awesome) artwork, pick up the first 6-issue mini-series of Perfect Dark: Welcome To The War. This comic's cover art is fucking sweet alone, drawn by the geniuses at Cold Fuzion Studios.

http://www.coldfuzionstudios.com

Also picked up the first Gold Digger Poster Book (which has some wicked artwork and inspirational titbits - some beautiful older cover arts too), and GD #77. Let's just say the next GD Story Arc is gonna whup some draconic butt six ways back to Jade's earliest millenia X3

I dunno if anyone watches W.I.T.C.H., but what they did to the show was sickening. Totally warped the characters, screwed with the voices (the pilot and the following episodes after that have two sets of vocalists), warped the storylines to be "kiddy-friendly". Pick up the graphic novels instead and do yourself a favour.
Got GN's #5 & #6, which focuses on Elyon becoming ruler of her people. The show also showed this, but dumbed it down considerably and dragged it out over 28 episodes. Try 4 chapters. Yeah. Some animation directors really need to stop adding useless bits of story that have NOTHING to do with the original plot/storyline.

There are 21 GN's of W.I.T.C.H. in all. Almost all have been released, but we get a smallish trickle of them every two months.

I would also highly recommend people pick up Fred Perry's S-Guild.
It's a bit like Gold Digger but...hell I'm not gonna spoil anything. Pick it up and judge for y'selves =D

Sonic was sadly more of the same, BUT they finally stopped all this Shadow "who am I?" bullshit. After dragging it out for the last 30+ issues. About TIME guys! Didn't waste $7.80 on the book due to it being only 25 pages of comic and the rest all advertising.

Toodles~!

Note the Creative Commons Licence.
I'm sorry Elson, you FAIL. HARD. MULTIPLE TIMES!

He's giving the keys of the chicken coop to any idiot fox that happens to be standing around.

The reason I don't use the Creative Commons thing is that even WITH it in place, you're not freakin' stopping anyone from making you look like an idiot. The entire process is because DA ain't going to put up with your lawyers - it's there so you can "feel safe". All that creative commons stuff is there to say "we don't care about your work, nor about your feelings, just if you use it, you have no right to sue us if something goes wrong".

Safety first - as an artist look into copyrighting your work YOURSELF.
It'll cost a small fortune if you have multiple characters, like I do, BUT it ensures that incidents like Foxata and Darkspeeds don't damned well happen.

Relying on DA to provide you with a service that "protects" you as an artist is pushing the bar a little high. From what I've learned from many of the mods, they won't give a TURKEY if your work is stolen on their watch. If it's under one of these licenses, and I quote from a recent note from RealitySquared whereupon I questioned what would be the outcome of work stolen whilst under this license:

"You'd have no right whatsoever to complain. It'd be your own fault for not reading the license correctly and/or fully."

This from a mod?
Yeah, it says a lot about them wanting to fully "cover their asses" so no lawyers come a'knocking. The majority of people use this Creative Commons thing like candy, and just because Elson does it, his kids do it too, not fully comprehending it's not cool to follow the sheep herd especially when you don't understand how this bullshit "license" works.

People as a whole don't give credit unless caught. That's one thing I've learned as an artist. If you hand over your art with the rule of "you're free to share this", chances are someone out there WILL make a buck out of it without your knowledge.

Now what I'd like to see is his art being sold on Ebay.
Like the unfortunates - LunaYoshi, Jeff Axer, Anime, JaxxFox, etc.
Many can't do shit all about these thefts, because hell, the second it went online with a creative commons license, Ebay didn't give a royal fuck. Unless they are provided with copies of personal records of copyright/trademarking and not some "cover your ass with us online" licensing, you're screwed - out of your hard work, out of your art and what is rightfully your hard-earned moolah.

I do feel some sense of pity for this poor idiot.

You would think after suffering multiple art thefts (YES, THIS IS TRUE - he has been thieved out of his, ugh, "hard work" close to thirty times, all of them documented by myself and a few others - if you would like a hint as to who performed these thefts, look no further than Kimiko-Lynx and White-Shark, who, between them, stole eighteen of the thirty-odd pieces from Elson), he would wise the fuck up and actually concentrate on not looking like an internet freebie by slapping "hey you can distribute this!!1!11" on every last one of his bloody DA Gallery pieces.

Art thieves piss me off. Idiots like Elson piss me off even more.

But then again, for one being the epitome of fucking stupidity, one would more point and shake their heads at him and laugh themselves stupid.

I opt for the latter.

Dunno about you guys...

2007-02-08T20:28:47Z

But I feel a little happier knowing some sixteen year old bastich is about to get his ass handed to him by the DA Mods (who believe it or not have quit ignoring my reports):

Come on, ANY fucktard can edit in photoshop. But to upload to DA where the original artist is located and long-since established?

Oh wait, I just named three-quarters of DA there. My mistake.
I love how the kid signs off with "Enjoy my N*gg*s"

The only enjoyment you're gonna get kid is DA's boot up your ass.

I like my work, as thankless as it gets sometimes.

Is it me, or is her blatant admittal to it being a Shadow/Sonic recolour completely off base? Sorry, but the first hedgehog that sprung to my mind was Silver, not either of the other two already-established ones. Must be that chest fur and the expressionism.

To be Becky's Boyfriend = Surge?
Gee...what became of Miles alla sudden?

And this:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47554272/?&q=by%3Adarkspeeds&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps

Comparing Becky to an egotistical maniac just seems utterly WRONG...though she could be called his rival in all honesty.

...What I find truly sad about Darksy is his complete inability to realise that the character he's drawn is not "sexy" at all. In fact, the only thing people are going to notice are her damned boobs because like everything he's ever drawn on female characters, they're out of proportion in comparison to the rest of her body frame. Anyone with boobs like that is going to have a serious "leaning" problem...like she has already XD
If he shifted her head a little more to the left, she wouldn't look like she needed a back brace and fast.

Take a look at her left hand too.
I damned near killed myself laughing at the fact she's missing an opposable thumb. Of course, only the TRULY nitpicky could notice that, and after critiquing arts, especially my own, for nearly eighteen years online you tend not to miss things like that. But unless you're drawing solely to boost your ego and pageviews on DA, that kind of detail doesn't have a place.

E.G.O. for short? Yeah Elson, sums you up in three letters, doesn't it? XD!

...Take a look at her species and tell me if that's not a frikkin' ECHIDNA. He's claiming her to be a Female Sika Deer. Elson, HONESTLY, please goddamned make note that if you are GOING to make a species that looks different to an echidna, please use animal reference books. It wouldn't kill you to make her actually LOOK like a freakin' DEER, would it?!

I'm also wondering how it is that tattoo of hers makes a 'BA' symbol. I see the top half of the B but not the bottom half. Oh but wait, this is Elson and none of his whores are going to care about that. Mmph, details *waves hand dismissively*

"P.S. Oh! BTW!! XXD Geena's not an echidna... She's a SIKA DEER! >= ) Beat that! *SHOT* XXXXD [link] I shall explain what happened to her ears when this series get's published. ;)"
Oh gods, she didn't need ears you moron, she just needed to have her muzzle altered to actually LOOK like a fucking DEER!

And "published"? He better not be serious or Amanda Jolly from Jollifications Inc. is gonna piss herself when I tell her this shit XD!

~**~

I was friends with Elson a very long time ago. He was as unopen to critiques as he is today. It wouldn't kill anyone of his bastard children to actually realise this complete moron is taking an already established trademark (several in fact) and attempting to make money out of it. Now if only he could have taken OzManga's rejection and 'cease & desist' letters seriously...

This was mainly a journal to see how the two of them fared into the transition of 2007. Made of FAIL for obvious reasons XD

Amanda Jolly is a woman I've known, professionally (for whatever brief stint I was publishing my own short comics, I believe it was a year) and non-professionally since I was eight years old. Her company, Jollifications Incorporated Sydney, were the ones behind the old Aussie animation "Bunyip" which incorporated one of the first flash animations produced in our country. One of the last at that time in my childhood as I recall...

My father's recent visit here to SA put her back into contact with me and we've discussed, via emails and trade samplings, about perhaps getting my foot in the goddamned cutthroat door of Australian Television 2D Animation, of which thank the stars is coming back as soon as early 2008. Contractual work from Jollifications outwards reaches as far as Stateside and New Zealand, and as Amanda has noted, I've improved quite a bit from those early days XD

She especially liked Jazeya-Azlyn from my characters and believes Donavonn has some potential as a serious animation project (that dark storyline I wrote last year is what she liked). However, she wants me IN the industry first, and come later on in the year, they'll be opening an Adelaide Office & Studio in South Terrace. Fucking awesome.

She's also looking into the failed contract agreement with NAPCAN to produce the limbless fruits animation (age group 3 - 8 years), which ABC was nice enough to actually keep the documentation for. I was worried they'd eliminated all such trace of that write-up. That fucking thing took me MONTHS to put together DX If this gets off the ground this time around, I'mma gonna be one happy woman.

Amanda has been a mentor to me for as far back as I can recall starting 2D character design. To have her there again behind me, as I was very sure she'd forgotten me, if a welcome start to 2007.

I do recall discussing Elson with her just before we stopped writing each other (and Jollifications was merged into Yoram Gross for a stint). She told me nothing good could come out of a person like that, especially coupled with a "I am invincible worship me" attitude.

She was so damned right. Come to think of it, she was damned right about a lot of people...

Oh and I'mma get some pics of my soon-to-be new birdy X3
2007 may just be my year. Now to get out of my current job...

Love ya's!

Well that's over and done with...

2007-01-25T05:21:40Z

I'm quitting my job.
Today was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

I've been down with the flu for the last two days and with my doctor out of town and the car booked in for a service, I was unable to recieve a medical certificate to cover me for my shift today, 12pm - 5pm.

Gastro + flu + vomiting = non-happy woman.

The gastro/vomiting has eased with glucose tablets and normal advil, so that's over with. BUT I was basically told, even though I was throwing up and looking like death warmed up this morning, I was to come back to work because Mel couldn't find anyone to cover my shift.

We have over 18 employees on station at ANY one time. And a further 15 on days off.

I found it impossible to believe that bitch's words because I could clearly hear Clarrie (one of my mates) in the background saying he was covering Drive-Thru AND Cafe today and taking over my shift was "not an issue". Apparently Mel just has it in for me because of what happened on Tuesday, which apparently "cost her her senior management position".

Let me explain - this week we had the supervising head manager, Sharon, come in. She's a beautifully friendly and lovely woman. Olga was shifted back to Marion so she could observe the store in its normal everyday state. MEL was the one left in charge because, hell, everyone else was off that day AND it's Mel - more people have complained about her bitchiness than I have, and Sharon wanted to observe this first-hand.

WELL Tuesday started out as normal, I coped very well with the delivery. Then two hours after lunchtime, it all fell apart. With only ONE person on Cafe (aka me), twelve orders is pushing the bar for just one person. As I discovered firsthand, I was spread far too thinly and Mel went literally apeshit when she saw me struggling to cope with the influx. I didn't ask for help from Mel for two reasons:

1) She'd already called me a 'clumsy fuck' when I reported an incident about slipping to which I recieved a massive bruise on my left arm which pinched a couple of nerves. I haven't spoken about said incident since then but it still hurts like a fucking bitch.

2) She was trying to impress Sharon, which basically means she doesn't give a rat's left nut about anyone else in the vicinity BUT her own pussy-on-the-line.

Sharon noticed me struggling and calmly let Mel know that maybe it would be a "good time" to let someone like Frances (also McCafe staff) assist me. Mel smiled sweetly, waited until Sharon was out of sight and out of earshot and WHAM, she let me fucking have it.

Sharon was standing on the opposite end of the counter with Maryanne staring at Mel and me and Frances. Frances simply said Mel was trying too hard when she stormed out of earshot still simpering about me and my "incompetence" - which I did take personally because she's insulted me in front of Olga and the other manageresses before - and to her credit, only Dani has never said a bad thing about me since I started. When Mel met with Sharon's eyes, Sharon simply shook her head and walked out back. Frances caught a little of the conversation which went:

S: You know something, I'm frankly tired of seeing you and the other managers pick on her. Vicki wants her on her team because she's older and she has more authority. You're giving me real *reason* to transfer her out of here.

M: It's not like that I swear!

S: Really? Then what the HELL was all that about?!

When Sharon left later on, she noticed I wasn't talking to anyone else, just doing my job and helping out the others on counter since I had no more orders on my end. Well, Mel then took that opportunity to start smashing dishes and cups into the dishwasher and generally making me feel as small as possible.

Frances let me know when she went on break that Mel had lost her opportunity to go one-level higher from Shift Manageress to an actual Manageress (which Dani already has). Because of me.

YES, well, it gave Mel even more leeway to treat me like fucking shit later on in the week, didn't it?

SO today I call the doctor and am basically told he's left for the Australia Day Weekend and I'm stuck for an appointment til Monday. Mel says that unless I come in on a stretcher, I'm working - regardless of the Occ Health and Safety LAWS which state, quite clearly, that ANY disease or illness that can be passed on from handling food should be treated first and foremost BEFORE said person returns to work.
Olga and Sharon are BOTH aware that I only see one doctor because my medical records are only with this one doctor. I've trusted this guy with my health and all my medical problems and Olga is AWARE of this. She's spoken to the man before AND he's explained, in livid detail, what my ailments are. She's understanding ONCE people get through to her ass (especially as he sent her my last ultrasound reports - gee that feraked her the fuck out XD).

So yes, today I went to three sources explaining my problem.
1) To Occ Health & Safety, who told me quite simply that it's NOT the first complaint against McDonalds, BUT since I'm over the cutoff age of 17, they're very surprised I'm STILL employed by them
2) Safework SA, who will be launching a formal investigation against this particular McDonalds and in the last 6 months of opening, three previous case files were already lodged about them
3) Job Network; Heather my case file worker basically said I have two choices - go out and say fuck you and do it openly and return to her counsel until I secure myself a new job, or find myself a new job and say fuck you in a nicer term and with the shortest notice possible

I've picked the latter option and I just got my ass slapped with another *written* warning after EXPLAINING MYSELF to Mel and it basically went completely ignored. I am so fed up of being harrassed and bullied and made to feel like a complete fool by this one bitch. And now, I'm just going to fuck her over with it...

You don't kick my ass when I'm down.

You just DON'T!

25th Birthday...

2007-01-22T10:42:57Z

Yeah whoop-de-doo.

I have to wait six fucking months to get what I TRULY want out of this stinking 25th year.

Why the FUCK can't people UNDERSTAND that getting fucking clothes for the last EIGHTEEN YEARS STRAIGHT is a sure-fire way to make me hate your dumb ass for the rest of my lifetime?

Fucking beautiful. Oh, and for people's information, it's nothing computech-related.
If it was, I wouldn't give half a damn about it. I can get those two things -whenever- I wish, but if I miss this particular gift (for myself mind you, I'm not relying on some other cunt in my family to bother with it), I'll be waiting six fucking months for another.

Just...fuck you God.
The ONE thing I want more than anything else (including marriage - another half a year and we'll be legally married by written law), and you have to go and screw me over for it too?

Cunt.

This made me do a double-take - at first I thought Frisket because of the actual facial expression; she's usually smiling like that in her icons and artwork.

Add to the fact the icon uses Frisket's original colour scheme and not the "strawberry" version this girl's claiming is her version...

Yeah. I'm confuzzled.

It never rains, but it POURS.

Had yet another ovarian cyst scare, further enforcing my dire need to get rid of these painful organs of unholiest knifing death every month. Also need another set (6 in all) of ultrasounds. That's $180 - $230 all up on the Gap Scheme. Fuck You Government.

Red Tsunami hit today, thank god not at work. HOWEVER I'm gonna be a basket of roses tomorrow at work you can bet. I'm in PAIN here. Not the normal "ohmygodperiodpain" normal, the "OHMYFUCKINGGODSGETITOUTOFME!!!!" normal. The more I see childless couples the more I want these death organs out of my system. I can deal with hormonal treatments, just get them out of my system before I have reasons to book myself in for chrissakes!

...

OH and guess what? My boss gave me reason to quit tonight. She wanted me covering the 12am to 9am shift in place of my 9am to 4pm shift tomorrow.

UHM FUCKING HELLO?! DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT TO BE DOING DRIVE-THRU AT FUCKING MIDNIGHT BITCH?!

<---- Red Tsunami is in effect. Please remove yourselves to the bomb shelter.

I just hung up on her. Betcha I cop the abuse tomorrow.

Then I'm going to give her a rundown of my health problems if she bitches at me and giving her a big fuck you to her face and walking off my job.

Hahaha. God dammit you fucking robe wearing cunt on the clouds up there, CUT ME SOME SLACK WILL YOU?!?

It's so nice being told that my DA gallery is dead from a non-creative person who's only watching my gallery to see if I'll mention my undying love for him AND draw him pornographic images of him fucking young girls.

I feel like visiting the cunt on his own home turf and putting a baseball bat upside his head. I mean it, I am so fucking pissed that this dumbcunt has, yet again, sent me an email from his fourteenth (yes, FOURTEENTH) email address.

Like WOW Craig, I didn't realise your cock was so tiny you need ME to make it bigger for you you sick slimy cocksucking retard!

My GODS, will someone in Melbourne just SHOOT him?!
AUGH!

Warcraft Has Consumed My Life...

2007-01-15T23:12:55Z

...It REALLY should be "WORK has consumed my life" but those fucking bastards have decided to push me around and down the stairs one too many times.

NOTE: Ranting about my soon-to-be-dead job. Give it a miss if it's not your "thing"...

I got shunted down to a single 6 hour shift for this week.
It should have been FIVE 6 hour shifts, but nooooooo, miss idiot has to train 15 more people. For what reason is beyond me. We HAVE our crew complement of 15 at any one time. And no, it's NOT for "another store" as she says. Idiot manageress of mine decided to slot in these 15 newbies on the permanent roster, so this means I am, along with all the other girls in Cafe, competing with these bloody new kids for more hours.

Which I'm fucking sick of doing by the way, because the only praise I get at my job comes from a shift manageress whose hours are being cut down just like mine are. And she's sweet and kind and damned if she doesn't deserve to BE the fucking Manageress at West Beach!

Apparently because I'm 24, and just under Ellen who's 25, she gets all the shifts I'm down for and I get a 6-day weekend with no fucking hope of getting another shift. I got called last night to do night-fill for them. 8pm to fucking 1am. Uhm, hello? Stupids? MY fucking hours are 9am to 6pm, thank you! You know, I have nothing against being called on my days off, BUT give me a fucking shift that's NOT impossible to get to! Shit! Just because Clarrie or Alicia can't make it doesn't mean I'm the fucking sucker who has to get dropped in and stuck waiting until SEVEN AM the next day to get home!

FYI, the bus route to Harbour Town ENDS at 6:45pm. There are NO other buses in or out AFTER 6:45pm.
Sucks beans that does >_o;

I put in a transferral notice for Goodwood Road. Now that Maryanne got involved in "hurrying Olga along", I betcha anything I don't get it and someone else who's worked for only 3 weeks gets it instead. Because Olga refuses to discuss the subject with me now. I'm unimpressed. So much so I'm about a fingernail's worth close to just handing in my resignation and telling her fuck you.

BUT I've decided on a better note - I'm going to get that worthless sack of shit I have to call my manageress in trouble first.

I'm being taxed, again, for god knows what reason.
$7 is not much to anyone whose bank account reads at 2.5k. But for me stuck at 1k, IT FUCKING MEANS A GOD DAMNED LOT!

I handed in my tax file number, and I was NOT being taxed AT ALL for the last 2 and a half MONTHS. The tax has come out of nowhere and all chats I've had with the ATO suggest someone on the payroll has decided to be fucking hilarious and tax someone who doesn't need that kind of shit anymore.

I'm not exactly happy to discover this tax is NOT from the ATO themselves but from some dumbass at work at the main Sydney Office. Once you hand in a Tax File Number Declaration Form and the two preceeding forms (which I did 5 months ago!), the Tax is NULLIFIED. So where the fuck is work getting off taking $7 of my pay?!

$7 mind you which would have covered RENT this week. Instead of giving me a lump sum of $7 less than I truly needed. Yes, it's only 7 dollars. BUT to a landlady, it's "where's the 7 fucking dollars?!" And no, I don't carry much change. It costs $7.20 for a goddamned day trip for work, I don't carry much more than that because I outright refuse to eat that slop they call "food" at work.

Yes I'm screwed for this week's rent. I'm already aware of that.
Thanks Olga. /sarcasm

And the second note - it's the...jeez how many does that make it now...75th(?) time around that Olga has decided to pick on me when I'm doing my job RIGHT.

I got screamed at for making the entire set of coffees, one after the other, for a party that was going on in-store. Y'see, that was meant to be OLGA'S JOB, but the dumb bitch didn't emerge from her office the WHOLE TIME. So, to combat the irate customers, I went and dilligently made every damned coffee on that list. About 3 dozen of them.

Next thing I know, instead of being thanked, I'm getting abused to the near point of tears by her because she couldn't be arsed doing it herself.

This sort of thing happens all the time since the start of this month. And quite frankly, if the damned whore can't be fucked doing HER job, why the hell go batshit insane at someone who saves her ass from 36 angry parents?

So yes, this has led to me being picked on by the other manageresses barring Maryanne, who instead of yelling at me congratulates me on a job well done. WHY.THE.FUCK.ISN'T.SHE.THE.DAMNED.MANAGERESS?! ARGH.

And by being picked on, I mean being bullied, harrassed and talked about within earshot. I came this close to punching Dani in the face the other day because she was so asking to have her sneering face beated to a bloody pulp. Fucking slut insulted my intelligence for "doing the boss's job" and then tried to get on my nerves by trying to make me screw up in front of customers by taking my job away from me.

Damned if I'm NOT going to fuck those two bitches OVER.

I already have a response from the P.A.L. system on email - saying they're privately investigating Dani already. Seems I'm not the only one she's bullied to hell these days.

Olga will be a while in coming. Seems she's pretty clean save for a couple of ex-manageresses in Fulham Gardens who have it on good authority she can't manage a place worth shit as well as a few screw-ups worth noticing. One involved a pregnant employee and was very distressing to read mind you. I don't want to end up like her case because I am a tad overweight and Olga HAS been at me to "move it or lose it" on several occasions.

I have no idea what to do right now - other than already continue with the PAL system and get Olga investigated. There are a number of things about that woman, and one is her EXTREME LACK of communication, that simply make her the worst boss in the world.

How is it I'm supposed to get to work at 5am when the first bus doesn't leave til 6:35am? Apparently, James can drop me into work at 4:45am, when he's at work AT FUCKING 5AM ALREADY.

And I got told if I didn't make it on time, I'd lose my job. I told her to go fuck herself and that I'd be there at 7:05am (6:35am bus takes 45 minutes to get to Harbourtown). Turns out she wasn't even working that day and Maryanne was so happy to see me, she gave me an early mark and thanked me for coming in.

So yeah, I'm to the point where working there makes me physically ill. I get only person EVER praising me and the rest wailing on my ass because I BOTHERED to do Olga's job for her.

And yes, they're still talking about it mind.
I am angry that something that happened on Friday 5th of January is still a goddamned talking point between Olga, Dani, Rach and Mel EVERY TIME I clock in for work.

I don't want Olga's job, I just didn't want to deal with 36 irate parents because THEN I'd be screamed at BY Olga saying why didn't I do HER JOB and made 36 coffees for these people when it was supposed to be HER DAMNED JOB and not mine because I was on McDonalds Counter serving others who'd been waiting LONGER?!

I don't win. AT ALL. EVER.
And I'm fucking sick of the abuse I'm copping because I do my fucking job RIGHT.

I'd rather deal with gamers than yuppies, dammit.

Rant over. Fuck I hate my job. The only thing that keeps me relatively SANE these days is Warcraft.

Which should be drawing but my talent jumped shit and I can't even draw a stick-figure dog correctly.

Bleh.

Meesah Back!

*killed for the Jar Jar Binks reference*
Hey, I happen to LIKE that big-eared dork!

Made the move to the Shu'Halo server.
Tyl, Laz, Kiz, Dax and Kali made it. Left Zar and Pep on Windrunner as there wasn't much point transferring them over since they're just re-spec alts.

Re-rolling Blood Elf and Draenei when TBC hits the shelves. Planned on a Blood Elf Hunter & a Draenei Shaman (both male).

An' now their names. God knows, but this list gets bigger everytime I type it XD:

NEPER: Neper the Reaper. But not the grim one — he's the God of Grain. Particularly wheat and barley. Give us this day our daily bread, beer and branflakes.

NEPER's wife and working partner is NEPIT, the Goddess of Corn. They make beautiful meals together.
(SonofaBITCH this would be a killer Dwarven name! XD)

NEHEBKAU: Scorpion God and Guardian of the Underworld Gates.

He's used for fire insurance by those who believe reptiles are immune to fire. They also believe scorpions are reptiles. He's certainly fireproof as he travels with Sun God RA through the Underworld each night.

His mother appears to be the Scorpion Goddess SERQUET, although rumors persist that he's the son of GEB.
(Would make an interesting Hunter/Mage's name XD)

KEMWER: A Black Bull God.
(Hey, that suits a Tauren actually...hmm.)

IAT: Goddess of Milk.

She's more of a milk monitor really. Her job is to check that there's enough to go around.
(Another Tauren-related injoke...)

DUAMUTEF: One of the SONS-OF-HORUS. Has a jackal's head and looks after Embalmed Stomachs. These are kept in a jar until needed. Very useful in murder-by-poison police enquiries.
(Fitting for an Undead character, huh? XD)

BABI: Underworld God in the shape of a bloodthirsty baboon. He symbolises male aggression and outrageous testosterone levels.

You would not want a Babi doll. Particularly since he feeds on human entrails.
(LMFAO! Another Undead suggestion XD)

Want more name ideas? http://www.godchecker.com
James took my four good ones. THE SWINE! D:

Anyhoo, bedtime for me. Tis midnight.
Oh and I hit 13.75 million on Subeta. GO ME! X3

Will be offline

2007-01-10T07:51:21Z

For about another week whilst all our nightmares of moving over our Net access, phoneline and other junk is transferred over.

I am SO GLAD for four days off next week. Training, go fig.

This week has been a boring one - things at West Beach are quiet as all shit.
MAY be able to transfer to Goodwood Road McD's so seeing how that goes this week.

Oh and new art, but no scanner attached. Our new compy room is looking sweet hawt though =D

Bolognaise and all that~!
*heart*

Ah, Art Thieves...

2007-01-06T14:17:28Z

Gotta love the new year...

http://shadowhulk.deviantart.com/gallery/
This idiot thinks of himself as Chalosan himself. How adorable. And look! He stole one of Bara-Chan's own icons to prove his point!

Ugh.

Also, when did DevART suddenly turn into another VCL-wannabe?
The first three pages contained nothing but porn. Honestly, if I wanted to see that shit, I'd HIRE the fucking dvds. But for christ's sakes, fucking keep it OFF the site!

Some of those mods need to work out that there's a difference between dripping genital juices and tasteful nudity. The former doesn't portray "tasteful" in ANY means. I don't want to see some poorly drawn anthro with cum dripping from every last one of his "holes". Jesus fuck, VCL EXISTS FOR THAT PURPOSE. GTFO my DevART!

Someone also asked me what it is I want for my 25th Birthday. My top five as follows:
1. The Burning Crusades WoW Expansion Collectors Edition
2. Nintendo DS with Pokemon Ranger
3. Apple iPod or Creative Zen 6GB MP3 (I honestly don't give a crap which)
4. WACOM Tablet
5. 19" LCD Monitor for my compy

25 fucking years old. Holy shit I'm OLD!
XD

MOVING DAY!

2007-01-06T02:50:16Z

For a week and a bit more, I won't be updating - lack of Net and more shifts at work.

Guess who's the fucking monkey left waking up at 5am just to get to work one and a half fucking HOURS before her goddamned shift starts because Miss Fucking Bitchfuck can't understand I live too far away from work at make it at 7am - James works from 5am to 9am...on the other fucking side of the city (Burnside). I have to go to Harbour Town, which is Airport Side and about 35 minutes drive from Burnside.

The dumb bitch actually told me James could drop me in at a QUARTER TO SEVEN in the morning when I told her he starts work at FUCKING FIVE AM. How this works, I don't fucking understand, but fifteen fucking times later ASKING HER to understand why I can't physically make a 7am shift goes in one ear and out the fucking other. My boss is a fucking miscreant slutwhore.

Yeah. Two weeks notice begins NOW.

In a couple hours, 45% of the house is moved out into the car. Says a lot about James and I, don't it? =D

Oh and Happy New Year to all. We spent it watching Muppets From Space and capped it off with Warner Brothers Classic Looney Tunes Cartoons which timingly ended with Wile E Coyote dropping off the face of a cliff at the stroke of 12 midnight. I love Foxtel.

New art...saw Ice Age 2: The Meltdown and came up with some feasible and final for Jesse's new look. The TUGS Forum is practically dead (what a fucking guess XD!) so I haven't been posting much lately. I've been drawing though. Work is a dead end for my creativity because it sucks so damned much. I'm only ONE person who needs to CONCENTRATE when she's taking orders which is why I only take 1 or two orders at a time. Not fucking 9+ orders in five minutes >_o;

Like this week sucked more than others because, hell, look who's the dumbass left holding the bag because no one can be arsed SHOWING THE FUCK UP FOR THEIR SHIFTS.

Yeah me. No overtime. I can't say no to it because I already have one written warning against me. No, I won't talk about how the fuck that happened either. I didn't involve fist meeting a nose or mouth, though now I particularly WISH it did - getting fired from this dead end job would have been much easier than requesting a transfer because I'm moving FARTHER away from my workplace. She just says come in at fucking SIX AM (hello fuckwit? The fucking first Harbour Town Bus leaves at goddamned SIX FUCKING THIRTY FIVE you dumbass moron!)

Job ranting asides, I gotta dash. Congrats to Thalia, Liz and Kelly for getting places in the SatAM DVD art competition! YOU GO GIRLS!

Love you all and bolognaise awaits...!

Vee-Chan.

For Liz's enjoyment, part 2

Okay, It took me almost a month, but here it is. The script for the movie I have made. Okay, this is for the first 18 minutes of the movie. More are on the way.

Captain Star/Narrator: 1926. Bigg City Port was still the biggest harbor in the world. Still. Boat work and railway works were important jobs to be done. Tugboats still have important jobs of towing big ships and tramp steamers into the harbor. Towing barges, railway works and towing old sailing ships out into sea. Also, Steam engines pull freight and goods on rails. It was a marvelous day in Bigg City Port. Tramp Steamers were still in use of carrying goods by sea and by oceans across the world. One day, I called all my Star Tugs to Star Dock. I wanted to tell my tug what special event was going to take place. So far, Big Mac and Warrior already arrived with barges loaded with crates, and steel bars. They were needed for what they were going to do. Just then, Hercules arrived at Star Dock, along with OJ, who he also had a barge. Top Hat, Ten Cents and Sunshine also came into the docks wondering why they were called. I have gathered all my Star Tugs and tell them what event was going to take place.

Sunshine: Ten Cents?

Ten cents: Yes?

Sunshine: Why do you think Captain Star called us?

Ten Cents: I don't know, but he say's it is important.

OJ: Well, Captain Star says some important things every time he calls us. He say's it royal. But we'll soon find out.

Warrior: Uh, why did Captain Star call us here when I was doing something?

Big Mac: He says it has something to do with a queen.

Warrior: A queen! A queen mermaid?

OJ: Mermaids don't exist!

Hercules: Mermaid's are-Never mind! But I hope it has to do with the ocean.

Top Hat: Mermaids? You know, it never fails that I'm the cleanest and finest tug in the fleet. I am royal and I know mermaids don't exist.

Ten Cents: Top Hat, you're always like that! Let's not talk about mermaids anymore.

Captain Star: Attention, Star Fleet, I have a few words to say.

Top Hat: This is going to be about me, isn't it?

Captain Star: No, it is not. Can you not think about yourself? In about a few weeks, the Queen of England is coming to Bigg City Port. For the summer, she wants a tournament. So we are going to build a stadium for her.

Ten Cents: All right!

Hercules: That'll be good.

Warrior: Hey! That is so hilarious! What?

Top Hat: This is not a joke!

Grampus: What's going on?

Ten Cents: We are going to build a stadium in Bigg City Port!

Warrior: Let's not remind him about the time when the Navy guys were going to blow him up.

Captain Star: Okay, let's not talk about it. Now onto business. There is a job for each of you. Top Hat take some wagons and freight up to Dun Tuggins.

Top Hat: That's good.

Captain Star: Then take the coal barge and load it at the coaling plant.

Top Hat: WHAT?! ME?!

Captain Star: NO arguing. Now off with you.

Top Hat: Well, if I have to. Why always something dirty? Tar is dirty stuff.

Captain Star: Ok, OJ, Big Mac and Warrior, I see you have your barges ready. Now you are to tow them to where the stadium is being built. Follow the Coast Guard Messenger. He knows the way. Hercules, Lillie Lightship needs your help. Grampus, go help Hercules.

Big Mac: Come on, Warrior.

Hercules: It’s good to see Lillie.

OJ: Careful Warrior, don't get too excited! I'm not built for this type of speed!

Captain Star: Okay, I have a job for both of you. You two are to tow in Princess Alice into the port and no rough rides. After that, go help Izzy Gomez and watch out for his smart talks about getting in for a cheap price. After that, help OJ. He has been having problems with his paddle wheels since last week.

Ten cents: Yes Captain Star.

Top Hat: Is it too much to ask for a clean job for me to do? Can I try liner docking for once?

Eddie: Hey.

Top Hat: What you railway-annoying idiots?

Frank: You got used to garbage a long time ago. Try coal.

Top Hat: No. The only reason I got used to garbage is that Lord Stinker saved that innocent goods train from going to heaven.

Frank: Okay, now there was a time a coal truck went tumbling down a hill.

Top Hat: That happened when the engine had a meltdown!

Frank: Yeah. How long am I going to be a barge?

Top Hat: YOU ARE A Railway Barge!

Eddie: What about the time when a van turned over and fell into a swimming pool of Goo?

Top Hat: Well, here's a fact; there is no such thing as goo!

Captain Star/Narrator: Meanwhile, Hercules and Grampus went to visit Lillie Lightship.

Hercules: Hey, Lillie, my dear. How have you been doing?

Lillie Lightship: Well, as a lightship, I must keep boats away from these rocks and help ships see in the dark.

Grampus: How have you been doing?

Lillie Lightship: Better. I feel better after that accident I had years ago.

Frank: Where is Waldo?

Eddie: Where is the Blackbeard pirate?

Frank: Where is a werewolf?

Eddie: Where is Waldo?

Top Hat: You stop asking me these questions or you're going on an underwater trip forever!

Captain Star/Narrator: Ten Cents and Sunshine were making progress of towing Princess Alice into port by themselves.

Ten cents: This was easy and last time, she nearly turned us into pancakes.

Sunshine: This reminds me of Up River.

Captain Star/Narrator: Meanwhile, the Z-Stacks were planning an attack on the star fleet. They herd about the queen's visit and wanted to win the contract for Captain Zero, as usual. The Z-Stacks were happy when Zorran cam in with news for them. He overheard me and wanted to wage attacks on my Star Tugs.

Zak: So, what's in it for today?

Zorran: Well, It's time to go after the Star Fleet again, but today, I think we are going for a big present.

Zip: Oh, Oh is it tuffy the dog?

Zug: NO!

Zak: Well, as they always say, think before you act.

Zorran: Well, we think about contracts more than money. But, Money is more important than barges as they always say.

Zip: That is true, and I have Zug battle a cargo ship for me.

Zug: You hide behind Zebedee because you weren't thinking about being rich. That boat was 15 meter tall and 50 feet long.

Zebedee: Yeah, the reason Zug battle the boat is because of me.

Captain Zero: That is enough, everyone! Enough talk about gold coins! Let's get to me. Zorran, what is the news from my rival, Captain Star?

Eddie: Where is a werewolf?

Frank: Have you ever seen a glowworm?

Eddie: Who invented the train?

Frank: Where is the wicked witch of the east?

Eddie: Who is Albert Einstein?

Frank: Where is the Deadly Desert?

Captain Zero: Oh, so the stadium will be built for the queen by the tugs, eh?

Zorran: The Queen of England is coming to port on an ocean liner. She'll be very surprised!

Captain Zero: Okay; now you are going to win me that contract! Get down there immediately! Zorran, Zak, Zebedee, go to where the 3 harbor tugs are doing the entertainment!

Zorran: Yes, sir:

Zip: But you really think-

Zug: Can It!

Zip: Okay!

Zorran: Come on, let's go and have some fun!

Captain Zero: Zip and Zug, go after Ten Cents and Sunshine as they are oceaning that liner.

Zip: You've should have-

Captain Zero: GO AFTER THE SWITCHERS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Zip: OKAY, OKAY!

Zug: Don't underestimate Captain Zero! Let's go! Why do I even bother with you?

Eddie: Where is Mars?

Frank: Where is the great Giant Kraken?

Captain Star/Narrator: Meanwhile, trouble was about to strike against the Star Tugs. In one place of the harbor, two scrap tugs, Burke And Blair waited for a chance to strike. They feel that their time draws close.

Burke: So, what do you want to do today?

Blair: I don't know. There are no ships waiting to be scrapped in my sight.

Burke: Think of all the money we are going to make.

Blair: Yeah. We had two chances and we failed.

Burke: Well, we are going to have fun scrapping tugs today, and we will be victorious.

Blair: Yes, but how?

Burke: Well, I do not know.

Blair: What the boat is this? Titanic; Going underwater in ice?

Burke: No! This is going to be rich in money!

Blair: How much do we have anyway?

Burke: NONE!

Blair: Well, that is a rip-off!

Burke: Hey, what is that?

Blair: A tramp steamer?

Johnny Cuba: Hello!

Blair: It a giant container boat!

Johnny Cuba: No! I am an Australian Tramp Steamer of Evil! My name is Johnny Cuba! I have some jobs for you.

Burke: So, what’s in it for us?

Johnny Cuba: If we succeed, we will all be rich and we can have anything we want!

Burke: YIPPIE! So, what the job?

Johnny Cuba: Follow me and I'll show you. I'll take you to two of my friends.

Captain Star/Narrator: Uh Oh, this could mean trouble for Bigg City Port. Just as Ten Cents and Sunshine towed Princess Alice in the port. Ready to do their next job.

Ten Cents: Boy, that was easy.

Sunshine: Yeah, we'll never forget the time she hammered us.

Ten Cents: Yeah, but our job is done thanks to Pearl. Now our next job.

Sunshine: We have to hurry. OJ engine will go out if he does barge work all by himself. He'll have his paddle wheels replaced by rockets if he does work by himself.

Ten Cents: Well, onto our next job.

Sunshine: Race ya there!

Ten Cents: Hey! Wait up! You got a head start!

Captain Star/Narrator: Big Mac, Warrior and OJ were delivering their barges to the constructing site for the future sight of the Queen's stadium.

Big Mac: This thing is going to be so awesome when it is finished.

Warrior: We will have a fun time doing this.

OJ: Don't get too excited, Warrior.

Big Mac: Soon, this will be a great success. Captain Star will have the contract for this and we will be victorious, better than the Z-Stacks. They'll mess this up in many ways.

Zak: They'll pay for that.

Zorran: QUIET!

Warrior: You are correct Big Mac. Are we finished yet?

Big Mac: Warrior, we are just getting started. It would be easier if Big Mickey were here. That Bluenose got him killed because he was stupid to charge in.

Warrior: Okay, so all we have to do is tow these barges here and let the machines build them immediately. We'll put together the building and the Star Tugs, that's us will be a winner.

Captain star/Narrator: The Construction Chief who was in a large lorry was pleased that the job was getting done. He was a good friend of mine and we went to work together when we were young and we both got off an ocean liner called the Titanic when it had sunk years ago.

Construction Chief: You are doing well, Star Fleet. My friend would be proud of you.

Warrior: Thank you. But we like to work for our friends.

OJ: We will be proud to do this for our queen.

Big Mac: Never had one of these in my young days. Now we need more than just this.

Warrior: Yeah, okay. Hey wait a minute! I have Garbage duty now!

Zorran: That Construction Chief. He is more richer than Captain Star, I know.

Zebedee: Let's get to work.

Zorran: No! I say that! Let's get to work. Zebedee, follow that floating empty jar.

Zebedee: I don't see a floating-

Zorran: I MEANT WARRIOR!

Zebedee: Oh. You should have been more specific.

Zorran: Zak, follow that floating stout hat now. He is railway delivering now.

Zak: You mean Top Hat, right?

Zorran: Yes. Now spoil them.

Zak: Yes boss.

Zorran: Now, get to work! I'll stay here.

Frank: Where is Lost City?

Eddie: Where is a son-

Top Hat: If you continue to ask questions that have no answers, I WILL TURN YOU UP-SIDE DOWN!!!!

Boomer: Hey, Top Hat. Having barge problems?

Top Hat: How would you like it if you have annoying barges that you have to tow?

Boomer: I used to, but now that I am a houseboat, I don't tow barges anymore. Even if I have barges, they would have been destroyed.

Top Hat: That is unlucky and lucky for you.

Boomer: Thank You. Don't you have another job to do?

Top Hat: Yes, but I’ll get my funnel, my bow and my wheelhouse dirty!

Boomer: Ten Cents is right. You only care about keeping yourself clean.

Top Hat: Big Deal. This may be uninteresting for me.

I have moved it here because it take up a lot of space. And it take up a lot of threads. So now the script is here.

More of the script comming soon!

~**~

This is where Daniel's story takes a nosedive.

He's already told us he already filmed and wrote this project in December 2005. Now he says this first part of the "script", took him ONE month. It also covers the first 18 minutes of the storyline.

Now I'm no director, but if you've done a project, filmed it, voiced it, wrapped it up with a bow and then shipped it out online and THEN only gone back to write out the script, you're a complete and total FUCKTARD. It unravelled in much the same way as the weeks progressed:

~**~

« Reply #23 on Jun 22, 2006, 8:47pm »

Okay, mistakes happen. It is how we learn things. Now, here is the second half of the script.

Part 2

Captain Star/Narrator: At the same time, Warrior took Lord Stinker to the garbage dump, where they found Jack the Grappler resting as usual. As he parked Lord Stinker at the loading zone, Warrior went to wake Jack up.

Warrior: Hey, Jack!

Jack: Okay, who is disturbing my rest and relax time?

Warrior: Isn't Rest and relax the same?

Jack: What do ya think!

Warrior: I was told to collect some garbage and this is the garbage dump.

Jack: Of course it is a garbage dump! Look at all the garbage!

Warrior: Of course I see garbage. You are a garbage scooper. You grab garbage and dump it into Lord Stinker, I carry it away to somewhere where it doesn’t harm anything and I don't know what happens next.

Lord Stinker: Can we get this done? My brain is spinning from your chat.

Warrior: Okay!

Garbage Cooperation Manager: Hey, Warrior!

Warrior: Hello! I am here for garbage.

Garbage Cooperation Manager: Your garbage will be on your way. Okay, Jack load up Lord Stinker.

Jack: Yes, I must. Must get loading now.

Captain Star/Narrator: Jack the grapper soon started loading garbage into Lord Stinker. It took a long time to get the job done. After the garbage barge was loaded with garbage, Jack shut himself down and rest away from Warrior.

Warrior: Well, that was good. Thank you!

Garbage Cooperation Manager: No, thank you.

Warrior: Oh, that guy.

Jack: Yes, you're welcome. Now leave me alone.

Warrior: Okay, see ya in six days!

Zebedee: You are going down, Warrior. You have been clumsy so that Captain Zero will win that contract.

Warrior: So, where do we take this stuff?

Lord Stinker: I don't

Captain Star/Narrator: Out on the harbour, Izzy Gomez, the old tramp steamer was waiting for a free tow into port.

Izzy Gomez: Okay, where Is my tow? I need a tow. If I do not get a tow, I may suffer. I have been waiting for 19 hours and it is now 20 hours.

Captain Star/Narrator: Izzy didn't know that he was going to be attacked by a sinister gangster. Johnny Cuba was watching him and he was waiting for his chance to strike. He was with Burke and Blair and he was waiting for two criminals.

Burke: Hey, boss, where are the criminals?

Johnny Cuba: Shut up! I do not want that stupid canoe to notice us. We will be un rich if he get his cheap tow.

Blair: Ok sorry boss.

Burke: You are the boss.

Johnny Cuba: Plant it! Here comes the criminals.

Green Eye: Hello!

Green Eye 2: Where are we?

Burke: Who the heck are they?

Blair: Those guys are scary!

Burke: They are monster boats!

Johnny Cuba: They are the green eye! They have been arrested for stealing barges. I have broken them out myself for my revenge.

Green Eye: So what the devious thing, boss?

Johnny Cuba: First, we make it hard for the Star Tugs. You know that rotten banana canoe is the Star Fleet Friend's Izzy Gomez. He is here for delivering his important bananas. If I run him onto rocks, the Star Fleet will slow down on their jobs, thus making my revenge easier. We'll be loaded! Think about all the money we make for this.

Blair: I see.

Green Eye 2: This is better than stealing Barges.

Johnny Cuba: Look, he not looking! Now is my chance!

Captain Star/Narrator: Izzy wasn't looking. When he was 28 inches from some sharp rocks, Johnny Cuba struck Izzy with impossible force.

Izzy Gomex: WHOA!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny Cuba: Enjoy the ride!

Izzy Gomez: Where is that voice coming from?

Johnny Cuba: The voice of your doom!

Izzy Gomez: Okay, that is the last time I try and go into the port for free. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! That did not felt good!

Captain Star/Narrator: Izzy Gomez was forced into the sharp rocks. One false move could sink him.

Johnny Cuba: Enjoy your stay!

Izzy Gomez: Where is that coming form?

Burke: That was awesome boss!

Blair: Yes, that was cool!

Johnny Cuba: Silence! The job is not yet finished! The sombrero head can enjoy his stay, while we go on.

Blair: You are the boss.

Johnny Cuba: Now let scram.

Izzy Gomez: So can I have some help? I don't want to go into the port.

Captain Star/Narrator: Ten Cents and Sunshine went to get Izzy as they saw hin stranded.

Ten Cents: Okay, Sunshine, lets- Izzy, what the towropes had just happened?

Izzy Gomez: I have no idea.

Sunshine: Izzy, you really need to be careful of where you want to go.

Ten Cents: So much for OJ's paddle wheels. This is going to take us all day.

Sunshine: Maybe for the rest of the day. Remember the last time this happened? He almost turned you into a pancake.

Ten Cents: He almost did if it hadn't been for Warrior. Now how are we going to get you out of there?

Izzy Gomez: How about give me a free tow for 400 buck?

Sunshine: We don't have that much! We better call for help. Look there is the Coast guard!

Coast Guard: Whoa, what's happened? It looks like Izzy decided to take a jump off.

Ten Cents: This is no time for diving lesson! Get help, get a tug and a rescue crane!

Coast Guard: Okay, but where do I find one?

Sunshine: Just go find a tug!

Coast Guard: On my way!

Ten Cents: Hurry! We'll stay here and secure Izzy! Apparently, Big Mac has to do OJ's work.

Izzy Gomez: Well, I am not having fun.

Captain Star/Narrator: After Izzy's predicament, Top Hat was pushing the coal barge under the coal hopper. All he did was complain.

Top Hat: Oh, Dear! I cannot believe I am doing work that will get me in a stinky mess.

Zak: Time for entertainment. Those two barges look fun to go pushing.

Top Hat: Hey, what's that? Oh I don't know what's that. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S GOING ON?!!!!

Zak: Now you look like you are dirty piece of cheese.

Top Hat: Well, that went wrong. Where the Hat is warrior?

Johnny Cuba: Time, not time to strike! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Ten Cents: You brought him?

Coast Guard: Yes, he was the only tug available.

Sunshine: You can tow?

Fire Tug: Yes, I can. I have towed a lot of fire barges.

Mighty Moe: Youre done chatting? Let get Izzy here out of this mess before he dies.

Ten Cents: Lets throw some ropes and chains on Izzy so he dosen't slip!

Mighty Moe: All secured!

Coast Guard: Go for it Mighty Moe!

Izzy Gomez: Okay, not the propeller, okay that is good. Ow! That struck me!

Ten Cents: He has a hole in his side! Hurry! We don't have time!

Izzy Gomez: That is not good. That is high off the ground. Gently, genlty. OW!! That did not feel good!

Ten Cents: We better get him to Lucky's yard! Thanks Fire Tug!

Fie Tug: Well my work here is done.

Ten Cents: Thanks!

Fire Tug: Well, time for me to go.

Coast Guard: Me, too.

Ten Cents: Let go, Sunshine.

Sunshine: With you 100 %.

Mighty Moe: Yes, now lets Go!

Zug: There is Ten Cents, abandoning OJ. He can't be trusted.

Zip: But he is helping Izzy who got trapped.

Zug: Shut up!

Captain Star/Narrator: Warrior was taking Lord Stinker through the quarry. There he saw an unusual machine that looked like some conveyor blet.

Warrior: Hello. What do you think of this?

Little Ditcher: What do ya think?

Warrior: Sorry.

Little Ditcher: Ya think?!

Zebedee: Time for a little entertainment. Heh Heh heh heh!

Warrior: Hey, what is that sound?

Little Ditcher: Yipes!

Quarrymaster: Look out!

Lord Stinker: Look out!

Warrior: What?

Lord Stinker: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warrior: HEY LORD STINKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Star/Narrator: Lord Stinker was scooped, and dumped. He was not having a good time.

Lord Stinker: OW!

Warrior: Uh, where are you?

Scuttlebutt Pete: That wasn't very smart.

Top Hat: Hello, Warrior. Did you turn Lord Stinker upside down?

Warrior: Well, no. I didn't mean to.

Top Hat: What is under that hat of yours?

Warrior: I don't know.

Top Hat: Captain Star may fire you if you keep causing accidents and turn Lord Stinker Upside-Down. This is the 7th time you've did this in one month, and it is only June 3rd!

Little Ditcher: Actually, this is the 10th time he done this in one month.

Warrior: Well it all began when-Hey! Did you get a black paint job?

Top Hat: No, this is coal dust!

Warrior: Did you take a bath in coal?

Top Hat: NO! I DID NOT!

Scuttlebutt Pete: Well how about when you try to-

Top Hat: Would You can it!

Quarrymaster: There is a better way to correct people nicely.

Top Hat: Try me.

Warrior: Okay. I'll firehose you!

Top Hat: Ok, but-AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warrior: All clean!

Top Hat: I should be thankful for that.

Quarrymaster: You should.

Warrior: You look wet!

Top hat: Do I say so!

Captain Star/Narrator: After a hard days work, the Star Tugs came back from their hard days work. First Hercules and Grampus came, then Big Mac, and OJ, who was worn out went for their rest.

Big Mac: Hey, you look tired.

OJ: It's nothing, really.

Warrior: Captain Star! I'm back!

Top Hat: Yes, and I did not enjoy the day with coal.

Captain Star: Welcome back, I had some things I need to tell you about the stadium. Now, where is Ten cents and Sunshine? I see that they didn't help OJ with the heavy loads because they are not here.

Warrior: So that why OJ looks worn out.

OJ: That's not important. What's important is that Sunshine and Ten Cents are missing.

Captain Star/Narrator: As though, Ten Cents and Sunshine were still helping Izzy Gomez. His holes gotten bigger and he could break at any time.

Ten Cents: How did this happen?

Sunshine: He couldn't go onto the rocks himself.

Coast Guard Messenger: Currently, I do not know how this happened.

Sunshine: I don't know how this happen.

Ten Cents: There must be a reason. Hold ON! Zip and Zug! Over there!

Zug: Hello!

Mighty Moe: Alright, what do you want?

Zug: To have some fun.

Ten Cents: I should have known it! The Z-Stacks!

Zorran: Zip and Zug, I told you to stay hidden!

Zip: But we want to go have our revenge!

Zorran: You dummy! That will have to wait!

Ten Cents: What do you want?

Zorran: We want that contract! And we are going to get it the unfair way. Now beat it!

Ten Cents: So you just pushed Izzy onto the rocks to get what you ant. That is how it is for you?

Zorran: we are going to get that contract for Captain Zero even if we beat you and sink you.

Bluenose: Attention!

Zorran: Oh no. This is not interesting.

Bluenose: Of course I'm not! Now Captain Zero wants you at his docks now! It's night time!

Zorran: Fine! All Z-Stacks, return to Zero Dock! You think this is over Ten Cents, but this is only the beginning! We'll see you tomorrow.

Ten Cents: Thanks Bluenose, for once, you saved us!

Bluenose: Thanks now off to Captain Star's dock! He wants to see you! Good night!

Sunshine: Do you think he's changed?

Ten Cents: Almost.

Coast Guard Messenger: We'll stay here and fix Izzy. Off to Star docks you two.

Ten Cents: All right, good night!

Captain Star/Narrator: As Ten Cents and Sunshine returned to Star Dock, they found all the other star tugs asleep. They have been working late. Very late.

Sunshine: Hey.

Ten Cents: We should be quiet.

Sunshine: I can't believe it took us this long for us to help Izzy.

Ten Cents: Yes, let's get some rest. Good night.

Warrior: Hey!

Big Mac: What is it, Warrior?

Warrior: It' morning!

Big Mac: Yes, I know that.

Warrior: Do you think there is something unusual?

Big Mac: Hey, there is Ten Cents and Sunshine. Sleeping.

Hercules: Where have you two been?

Captain Star: Wake up, Star Fleet! Today we have some important things to do. OJ can't help with the hard work today because Ten Cents and Sunshine were busy with some other things.

Ten Cents: What is it? It's 3:00 in the morning.

Big Mac: No, it is 9:45 in the morning.

Captain Star: I would like you two to tell me why didn't you help OJ. Explain.

Ten Cents: Well, the strangest thing happened.

Top Hat: Do you mind? I need my beauty sleep.

Captain Star: Explain later. Star fleet, the Ocean Line Vienna is coming to Bigg City Port. Make sure you tow her in safely. No trouble. Big Mac, you're in front. Hercules, tow her from the port side. Grampus, search for shallow rocks.

Grampus: Okay, Captain Star.

Captain Star: Top Hat and Warrior, you two work on the starboard side.

Top Hat: Warrior, if you bump me, you are going to get stranded.

Captain Star: Top Hat, let's not threaten anyone. Now Ten Cents and Sunshine, explain yourselves. OJ, take a rest.

OJ: Go ahead and tell him what you saw.

Ten Cents: Izzy Gomez, he was rammed onto those rocks.

Captain Zero: Alright, today is another day. A liner is coming into the Harbor now. Stop the Star fleet from getting that contract now!

Zorran: We will do it the evil way!

Johnny Cuba: Well hello, Vienna. Time for a little entertainment.

Hercules: Hello, Vienna. Visiting the port?

Johnny Cuba: It's time for a wake!

Captain Star/Narrator: Johnny Cuba rocked and rolled. He rocked back and forth and went as fast as a cheetah.

Big Mac: Hey what's going on?

Warrior: WOAH!

Hercules: This is a no wave zone. What's going on?

Top Hat: Well it might be the winds.

Hercules: Vienna is towing out of control! LOOK OUT!

Top Hat: Hey! Thanks for the push!

Warrior: Your Welcome.

Big Mac: This is not cool!

Hercules: HARD AT STARBORT! SHE'S GOING TO CRASH!!

Grampus: WOAH!!!!!!!!!

Big Mac: We Need Help!

Warrior: Yes, but who can help us?

Johnny Cuba: Yes, this is like the movies.

Burke: The movies? We should have brought some popcorn.

Blair: We should have became movie producers!

Johnny Cuba: Well, enjoy this!

Captain star/Narrator: Boomer was about to go for sea exploring, when he saw Vienna.

Big Mac: She's Outta Control! She's goanna crash!

Captain Star/Narrator: The Tugs can only watch in horror as Vienna headed towards the docks.

Boomer: I must rescue my friends.

OJ: That's Boomer!

Big Mac: What's he doing?

Warrior: He is trying to get in front Vienna!

OJ: Boomer, No!

Boomer: WHOA!!!!!!!

Hercules: Boomer, Don't do it!

Boomer: YEOW!!!

Ten Cents: Hey, what's Boomer doing? Boomer, NO!!!

Warrior: Oh no! Boomer!

Sunshine: Boomer! What have she done to you? You're not a tug anymore!

OJ: He's right! But, Vienna is now back under our control.

Big Mac: Hey, Ten Cents, where are you going?

Ten Cents: Some paint for the stadium.

Big Mac: All right.

Warrior: He took some serious damage, hasn't he?

Hercules: We owe you one, Boomer.

Johnny Cuba: Well that stupid Ten Cents is going to get not just pieces! I'll eat my hat!

Captain star/Narrator: The star tugs towed Vienna into port when the waves had calm down.

Warrior: That was fun, wasn't it?

OJ: I don't think this is over.

Captain Star/Narrator: With a cable, Grampus carefully pulled Boomer off the docks, without doing more damage to him.

Boomer: Thanks, Grampus. Your a good friend.

More comming in July, and I hope I do not sit on my chair all month on this.

You know your journal about getting all those faves on your Shadow-related stuff?

I got hit too.

Let's try that idea shall we? I'mma gonna use Silver as mah bitch...

WHOOP-DE-FREAKIN-DO.

New background, uglier than the old one. Haha. I didn't think they could actually do worse than sea green/sap green.

WTF is the deal with those stats anyway? Last I want to see is how "Devi freakin' popular" I am. I'm not a porn artist, I'm a tame one. They make 8k pageviews look like a porn festivale. If you don't get that, it's gibberish. It'll make more sense when Aunt Flo is in town for you lovely laides.

Upsides:
* Recent Deviations and the Categories they're in.
* More than one favourite displayed
* Better set out "watched by" list
* More images displayed on gallery pages

Gallery thumbnails are a fair bit awkward for Literature. A nice "DA Literature" image would suffice.

Other than, eh, not much to get hyped up about.
Betcha I'll get slapped with a fucking tonne of DA Policy Violations because I can't be arsed changing categories of my work just yet.

Happy Barfday DevART. Let's hope a comment edit button wish will come true...

It's so not hard to see "Melody" is a line for line Lien-Da. Chalk one up for Idiot City.

Look familiar? It should. It's one of Raf's, altered into a cat and recoloured. EDIT: The glasses are emulated form raf's work, the character itself is being researched.

Someone else has done the same character, and if you atke a look at all his other works, this level of detail isn't repeated. Any ideas where this little mo'fo ripped this one from?

I don't think I really need to say more.

There are 6 more of Kona's, all the same filenames as the Artail gallery.

There are 4 of Jeff Axer's - check DA and TA, they're all there.

There's one by Sonicman - look for the name on DA search.

"Shadowfallemerald" is one by CPC - located only on Artail.

"Diamond In The Rough - Manic" is BlushBunnyCS's work. DevART only.

"Frost" is by a beginner artist also on DevART. Use DA search.

"Cassandra" is by Boltstryke Productions. I don't think I need to say more.

"antiff" - Jon WB Gray - Sonic HQ and check fanart. All there.

Oekaki 201 - xXShrinerXx, an artist also on DeviantART. Search the name.

The rest are all Oekakis located on Team Artail's Oekaki Board. You'll have to go through the archives for locations.

In Wallpapers is a 3D Metal Sonic & Sonic from Sonci CD - look for the artist 'powerofknuckles' on DeviantART. This is one of this WIP animation shots.

I don't fucking believe this kid and his art thief buddy.

I busted them six months ago, BOTH of them, and they were both banned for a week. NOW I find that these two "eager commentators" on my artworks are STILL STEALING.

Watch me tear open these fucking kids.
NO ONE goes this far to make an effort to befriend me and THEN turns around and stabs me in the leg.

Fuck.
