Holy crap, a con
Sooooooo it looks like I’m going to Comicpalooza with the Houston Area Ghostbusters! Right now it looks like I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday.
Also I just got done making a very special trophy. For what, I am not yet at liberty to say because details are still being ironed out.
eeeeeeeeeee
the proboscalypse i guess
Someday I will stop making MS Paint Adventures fanart.
Today is not that day.
Moar plagiarism fail from Hot Topic!
You would think Hot Topic would run out of feet in which to shoot themselves sooner or later, especially considering that there was just such a shitstorm not twenty-four hours ago but… ha ha oh WOW.
These, they didn’t even bother to camouflage–they’re directly ripped off from Kawaii Not.

This is pretty much the coolest machine I have ever seen in my life. I want one. And what is it making here? BITS. IT’S MAKING BITS.
Pardon me while I squee myself to death. I’m sorry, I just fucking love the Bit.
There is speculation that these may be mailed out to people registered at flynnlives.com who have opted into receiving snailmailed clues. Oh God yes. Yes please. Please send me my very own pet Bit. I will take good care of it.
yesyesyesyesyesyesyes
I have no idea exactly what this wonderful binary clock made of Bits is counting down to and my city is not listed underneath it, but it still makes me very happy.
[ETA: It just hit zero and now some sort of game has opened up. Ooo.]

I kind of like MS Paint Adventures, so I kind of did some fanart.

I did sort of forget to mention that UPS did in fact bring me my sweet new racin’ bike right on schedule. I got it put together with a minimum of swearing (“our bikes come 90% assembled” my entire ass) but haven’t actually ridden it outside yet, as it still needs some minor adjustments and a couple of test laps around a parking lot or something before I even think about taking it out on the road.
Also, as the hour of riding it on the trainer the other day tells me, a new saddle. PADDING, MOTHERFUCKERS, DO YOU USE IT? Ouch.
Yeah, I will gladly sacrifice a few ounces and a few seconds on my bike time for the sake of, y’know, not having a sore ass for the rest of the fucking day. This thing is ridiculous, I’m telling you. Apparently they are designed for people who have NO ASSES. …well, and pads in their shorts, that too.
I’d like to get some better pedals someday as well, and the front derailleur and I are going to have to have a nice long talk because it likes to skip the chain right off the big ring (I’m not thrilled with the fact that the chainring has no little rail or guard or other such mechanism in place to stop that, as has been the case on pretty much every other bike I have ever owned that had more than one gear, and that’s another wishlist item, but for now I’m just going to try adjusting things)
There’s also that thing where for about the last fifteen years I’ve ridden nothing but big heavy mountain bikes and big heavy cruisers and this little light thing with its little skinny tires is going to take some getting used to. I CAN PICK THIS BIKE UP WITH ONE HAND. OVER MY HEAD. EASILY. It’s like the difference between a B-52 and a balsa model of same. No aero bars to get used to, at least, and that was by choice. I do not like them. They scare me.
Antici–
And so begins several days of obsessively poking UPS to see where my new bike is, and the related reminding of self that obsessively poking UPS isn’t going to make it get here any faster.
Fortunately, I think it’s just coming from Dallas.
I think.

I am absurdly pleased with the male Mannequin, both how it looks and how little postwork is required to make it look like that. Here’s what it looks like almost straight out of Poser, with just the modicum of cloning and patching necessary to smooth out the places where the two figures that make it up meet (click to embiggen):
I’ma have to make a wallpaper out of it, I think.
