The Decade in Review
[info]nauta
I wasn't originally planning to do this, but since some others are recounting the last decade in summary, I figure I might as well. Trying to recount the most notable experiences I've had for the past decade.

So, here's 30 pictures from the last 10 years, most of which I haven't posted before... )

That'll do, Arai
[info]hellamander
Arai got back to me, and they're going to send me the part of the helmet that broke off, with the proper graphics on it. And once I get it, I'm gonna have to watch the hours of YouTube videos teaching you how to open an Arai visor without breaking the thing.

So, sucks it broke, but, assuming they deliver, I'm fine with the outcome. Definitely easier than mailing in the entire helmet.

thoughts on spec work
[info]sunhawk wrote in [info]artists_beware
Just thinking about speculative work and what opinion people have about doing it.

I'm not just talking about clients posting on places like DevArt anonymously asking for "samples" or setting up "competitions" but also having a client look at your art, dither about hiring you and then offering you the chance to compete with other artists by submitting work for a project and they'll pay the person whose work they like but not the other artists. Has anyone ever done such a thing in a rewarding way? Am I correct in my first reaction, which is to politely inform the person that I do not do speculative work? In most advice I've read for artists in the past, they warn again doing speculative work as many people use that as a way to get free art. And most of the advice I see around here is based on the concept of "some form of payment up front before any work is done."

Thoughts?

Oh come on Chan-kids.. can't you switch to other people to annoy?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out to be a mom to boys
[info]adpaz
I don't understand them. At all. Today, we were cleaning the living room ad Peter got a hold of one of Teddy's book. And ripped 3 pages out of it. Teddy was ok with it. "I like ripped things. Boys are supposed to like ripped things."

I don't know where he got that from. I don't know why he thinks ripped books are ok. And I wasn't sure how to react because of it. On the one hand, he wasnt getting upset, which I applaud. On the other hand, this is one time I wanted him to be angry.

And then, the little stinker came up to me unprompted and offered me his last piece of cotton candy.

It's always one way or the other. If they aren't driving me batty, they're making me laugh. Earlier, Teddy was dancing around in circles, making silly loud noises. And Peter followed him, doing the exact same thing. I love them. But I don't understand them. And I've heard it doesn't get any easier as they get older.

So mister Conspiracy said something headdesking-inducing again.

He said the only way we could eliminate crime completely is to allow EVERYOne to have a weapon.



SURE! Because inducing paranoia in everyone with weapons is going to make us live very pleasant lives.

Writer's Block: Baby, you can drive my car

Do you have a "dream car"? If you had money to spare, would you buy a new car? If so, would you be more likely to get an eco-friendly vehicle, a vintage model, or a luxury sportscar?

I've never done one of these before, but I figure this one is right up my alley.

The subject of a "dream car" is something I've always had trouble answering. I've never had one vehicle in mind which fit my definition of the one car I'd always want. There's so many different ones that catch my eye to varying degrees.

I'd have to say that, now, I own my dream car: the Weasel. If I had money to spare, I'd spend it on fixing it up.

It's not much of an answer, but, there you go.

Well....Its at least different than programs on Nazis or Boobs...

Good Old Channel 5 XD Wouldn't suprise me if it was a true show! :3

So.. something I don't get in the Adam and Eve thing.
[info]mapdark
God banishes Adam and Eve because those kids ate an apple from the tree of knowledge that gave them knowledge of good and evil.


Do you see the problem there?

He BANISHED them because they ate something that GAVE them knowledge of good and evil.

Thus they DIDN'T KNOW what was good and evil BEFORE"

So they didn,t know that disobeying God was a BAD thing.

and they were fooled by the snake as well.



So God banned the equivalent of a 3 years old for being INCAPABLE to think for themselves and who were conned.


Talk about an asshole!

Darn orchids
[info]rexxwolfe
" One plant i adore is mysteriously going * dead* I suspect that many hybrids are just all flower and little substance with longevity and tolerance to plant pathogens or stress. They live fast and die hard. As the plants just bloom and flower healthy and then suddenlyt hey just go downhill for no real reasoning.


Currently i have flowering Coel Mem Robert rainbow trout which is a very pretty unique flower with an orange brown ocher throat.

And a Deep purple catteyla with huge five maybe as large as seven inches across flowers Of deep purple magenta with a deep yellow throat. Another Coelgne species species I have is making flower buds and a few others may flower later this winter. Its a small pleasure amongst so much snow sub zero cold and crud.
