 | 07:19 am - Maxwell
Maxwell, age 2. A fluffy black cat... one of his parents allegedly was a Maine Coon, but he's pretty normal-sized. And fluffy. Did I mention fluffy?
Had my camera's battery charger not been lost you would all be faced with yet another barrage of cat pictures by me.

I was turning right when some evil bint in a huge red van stared me down and cut me off from one lane over. She very nearly crushed my tiny car flat but I lucked out. I followed her to the parking lot of the Target but by the time I got out of my car she was already in the store, so I wrote a hilarious note on the back of a Cub dietary fiber guide and stuck it on her windshield. I wish I could have yelled at her in person, but no way am I hunting her down in this boxing day store madness.

 | 04:52 pm - New Years Challenge
2009 is drawing to a close, so what can we do to celebrate the new year? How about...
the New Year kamishibai challenge!
A new challenge has appeared on the kamishibai forums, specifically for the intention of ringing in 2010 with some new stories! It's a simple challenge, too; no rules other than to have a New Years theme somewhere in your story, and to have a minimum of 10 scenes. Very doable, even for those who are bogged down with end-of-the-year commitments! Come give it a shot! The challenge runs from Monday, December 28th until Saturday, January 2nd. Click here to go to the challenge thread!

 | 06:45 am - Welcome to Mother 3 Adventure
Guh, this happens every time I try to organize the stuff on my computer. I come across some game or music or something I downloaded and end up distracted from finishing what I started. ...actually, the same thing happens when I'm sorting my normal real life junk too. ...maybe I'm just easily distracted. D:
Replaying Mother 3 is making me want to draw some Mother/Earthbound fanarts now.
Anywho, I've seriously been up all night vidya gaming (and comic drawing), so I should maybe get some sleep soon.

Ok ok so it isn't brilliant, technically speaking, to go running around up to one's knees in snow on a slush-covered lake in the middle of the night in one's long underwear and with only a very enthusiastic dog for company, but boy is it fun. There are two snow-fatasses out there somewhere where the Captain managed to knock me ass over teakettle. I made up for it by grabbing wads of super-smooshy surface snow and making him play fetch with them. HA.
It is perfect snowman snow right now because it has been above freezing all day and sleeting like a mofo. Even after the huge meltoff this afternoon it's at least a foot deep.
The neighbor's 30 foot tree has given up the fight against the elements and gone all floppy octopus noodles across his backyard. It looks like some really deranged modern artist's depiction of a windstorm in Gumbyland, but more snowy.
This is my first time being snowed in. Exciting! I did many Xmas things like eating pie and laughing at the unfortunate, and even watched the Half Blod Prince movie I've been making myself wait for. I loved it.
Rain gave me Titanic themed gifties... a big map of the ship's blueprints, dates and facts, all that good shit. And some ice cube molds shaped like wee Titanics and icebergs for my next super morbid party. Fuck yeah.
And yummy sushi socks, a bacon chocolate bar, and a strange hawaiian hair-cthulhu with shells woven in. The new housemates gave me a small powerful space heater that, like, oscilates and shit. And Hurricane Michael gave me an interesting Xmas card that doubles as a packet of seeds for some type of environmentally helpful tree.
I am still waiting on several friends to notice their gifties, all of which were drawn because I are welfare king, and my holiday will be complete.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go use my inhaler again, dry off my hair and fantasize about what it might be like to possess dignity.

Happy Holidays everyone, I hope your are having a great time with friends and family. And loved ones <3 Everyone is sleeping still but ME lol. I just can't anymore. Plus, I woke from a dream that first involved me in a place that resembled England, with an unknown friend at a coffee shop. Then zombies appear.. ...Frying pans and metal bats insued. I happened to later on come across Savi, Saint and some other friends houses where they happly got their postcards and such~ yeah some people got extra stuff.
Sadly i know the poscards never happened they are in my room...xD I dissapoint myself.
I'm a bit teary now thinking about the year and friends and things.
I am happy though ( Har har emo, feeling time + artmeme xD )

| 03:24 pm - it are snow (verse #34)
This is the sort of weather that turns dogs into boats, cars into sleds and hiking trips into the Cannibal Camp Cookoff.
Seriously, the Captain has to leap about to keep his junk from catching frostbite, and he's a pretty big dog.
I put the Insight in the garage after digging a windshield-shaped peephole with my shovel. No way the bubblecar can navigate this shit, and we need the space for parking as everyone is coming here for X-mas day festivosity.
Provided they can all harness their sled dogs in a way that bypasses the aforementioned doggie dong icicle hazard.

 | 07:51 pm - Banned from the kamiforum
I know this is way overdue, but it just took this long for me to actually go back and see if anyone had anything to say about me, and I was surprised to find I actually got banned. I mean was that really necessary? I quit. That's like slamming the door after I already slammed it. And I'm sorry that I offended people that badly, but I left because I felt I wasn't fitting in and it was for the better of the community. Your reaction has only proved me right, and I still do not have the time to go back, so I honestly don't care if you lift the ban or ban me here too, I'm done with kamishibai. That said, I do think you're all talented people and I still love you even though it didn't work and I wish you well, and to those whose birthdays I missed, Happy Birthday, and also Happy Holidays to you all.

Last night I finished another project and baked myself some motherfuckin cookies. Then I raced chocobos on FFX until my left thumb was too sore to go on. You need to finish with a time faster than 0 seconds, and my best time was 4.2 seconds, and victory appears to be one part skill and three parts luck. The Caladbolg will be mine.
For the first time since May, my sleeping schedule has gotten wonky again. Only for the past 5 days or so, but I am determined to not let it slip any further.
Looking forward to the three-day snowstorm Santa has decided to drop off under my tree. Muahaha.

Hullo, LJ world! I almost have too much to post, so I'll try to think of the most interesting/troublesome things to post.
Christmas! This Friday! It's happening at my Dad's house this year. (It was supposed to be at the House last year or the year before but, you know, divorce...) I'm very... well, weepy about it. Mostly I'm okay but every once and a while it sneaks up on me and I just start tearing up. Because we didn't have a great family to begin with, you know, but it was still *my* family. Mom's spending the day with Graham (the half-brother that's still speaking to us), while Carl and I are going to my Dad's. I'm fairly terrified that my dad's girlfriend/one-time mistress will be there. Ss there's that.
Had an interview with a library today! I think I would be really good at the job. It's pretty basic, but it would be at a library, so eeee! The lady I interviewed with said I gave a really good interview, so I consider that a good sign. I think there's only two other people up for the job, so I feel like I have a good chance! I'll know by the Tuesday after Christmas.
Speaking of the holidays/unemployment, presents aren't that overwhelming this year. I'm still working on the scarf for my dad, so hopefully that will get finished. And I'm going to break out all those cookies I froze and finally start baking them up and delivering them. My set up is very classy!
Been listening to a lot of old jazz classics recently. I can't pinpoint why, but I used to listen to a lot of this stuff in high school, so maybe it's nostalgia? I'm talking about Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and the like. It's been comforting, plus these songs keep reminding me it's the holidays, for some reason.
Alright. I have a scarf to finish and some more Beyond Good and Evil to play, so back to the old grindstone!

| 06:04 pm - luka's worst ADHD story of 2009
Went to the Dollar Store for carpet cleaning spray, paper towels, a collander, a tube of toothpaste, deodorant, cheap earbuds and a wire dish drying rack. Tried to pay by card, but the computer would only run it as debit and I am still waitng for my PIN to be mailed to me. Also, my pants were falling down because I forgot my belt and I had my hands full.
So the cashier voided the transaction and I drove home, got my checkbook and came back. Went inside to redo transaction, and discover I don't have my ID. I had left it in my coat pocket, in the car. There was now a customer in line behind me, witnessing all of this.
She rings up my crap again as I head back out to the car to get my ID. I come jogging back inside, apologizing profusely to the growing queue at the checkstand (and trying to hitch up my pants without being too obvious about it) while I reach down to write the check. But wait, where is my checkbook?
Oh yeah, I left it in the car when I ran out to get my ID. People are staring at me openly from the queue. The cashier is laughing at me.
So back out to the car, at a full sprint now with my goddamn jeans sagging down practically past my ass. I dig my checkbook out of the passenger seat, and manually confirm that I am holding all needed items before I run back into the goddamn store, apologize again to everyone who is gawking at me, and pay for my motherfucking supplies.
I was halfway through the door when I realized I had left one of my bags at the checkstand. Going back to get it was the ultimate walk of shame.
I am now back in bed, because some days that's honestly the only way to retain a semblance of digity. Also, I will not forget my pills tomorrow morning. That shit was like a bad dream.

After 3 months of spotty and frustrating service, last night's software update has eliminated my access to hotmail altogether.
So I am killing that address, after 11 years of loyal spam fetching.
Muzukashiitanuki@hotmail.com is dead! Long live lukadia at tmail dot com!

| 09:19 pm - Don't Call It A Comeback
Finished two pieces, saving alternately to filename.riff and filename1.riff. Started inking a third. Took a break to dodge more lightning bolts and managed to hit a zone where I got 416 in a fucking row. Then I missed one and figured I had to have gotten 200 by now, and sure enough I was well over.
At this point, I ran for a save point like rape bats were flapping after me.
Then I defrosted a big bowl of vegetable beef soup from the Porch Collection and whipped out some Texas Toast, and all was well.
Today is definitely going better, although Corel continues to randomly crash and corrupt my files. If I had been working on the comic pages when this started, I would have lost every scribble of 3 nearly completed pages instead of some sketches and early ink work. Maybe it's time to start thinking about a hardware upgrade so my tablet won't keep kicking my computer's ass...
