They are making "The Smurfs" as a movie. And.... The cast. Laughing forever.

WTF DC? WHERE IS YOUR EDITOR?!

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:18:21 GMT

I am not happy with this week's "Batgirl." The guest artist is Talent Caldwell (you know you are in trouble when someone's penname is "Talent") and art is hideous. HIDEOUS.

Alright, here is an example of the art done by the usual artist, Lee Garbett, and inked by Trevor Scott. It's stylized, but in a good wa. Also, yay for Roxy Rocket being brought into the comics from Batman: The Animated Series.

And here is Issue #7 of "Batgirl," gueststarring Red Robin. This is the way most of the art is for the comic:

Oh, LOOK AT THE TALENT: collagen lips, big eyes, Sailor Moon neck, AND THE BOOBS AND THE WAIST. Also, Steph's nose randomly changes and Barbara gets the same treatment. That page is supposed to be a sexy one page spread of Steph showing up in a formal gown to an event, but the pose just comes off as super awkward. Her legs are also way too long.

And then, in the middle of the comic, we get this page and I swear, I think Liefeld snuck in to the issue because....Oh dear god:

WHAT IS THIS? WHERE IS THE EDITOR?! HOW DID THIS ONE PAGE SNEAK IN?! I know the rest of the art is bad, but this....

Oh sweet Jesus.

ETA: OMG MY BROTHER WILL BE TAKING THE MCAT THIS SUMMER. He's only a junior in college and entered straight out of high school. WHEN DID HE GROW UP SO FAST?!

Had fun playing with eye makeup today while waiting for a friend to go see "Alice in Wonderland." I am pleased with the results.

And Alice was FABULOUS for many reasons. It's probably my favorite of Tim's since "Nightmare Before Christmas."

First Look at Batman: Under the Red Hood

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:50:40 GMT

I'm really excited about the New Batman DVD movie, Batman: Under the Red Hood that's going to come out. So damn excited.

Here's the First Look at the project.

Here's the cast of GQMFs: Jensen Ackles as Red Hood, Bruce Green wood as Batman, Neil FUCKING Patrick Harris as Nightwing, John DiMaggio as Joker, Jason Issacs as Ra's Al'Guul,and Vincent Martella as Jason!Robin.

On another note, I love Bruce Timm and would have his babies.

Fan Fiction Fridays on Topless Robot have become a weekly ritual of killing my faith in humanity. This week was a sporking of a Harry/Hermoine adult fanfic in which ...well, Hermoine turns out to be a secret magical!hermaphrodite which the author calles a "Cryptophallid" and then proceeds to keep giving details on "cryptophallids" and their "cryptophallus" like a creepy nature documentary throughout the fic. It goes onto...well, rapefic, MPREG, and gets WORST from then on.

I had to watch an hour of Morning Musume videos to make it go away. WHY DO I HATE MYSELF? D:

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 09:06:53 GMT

Show #1 opens tomorrow, I move back to the dorms tomorrow morning and school starts Monday. And part of my school flooded during the rains (and some of it is still flooded). It's supposed to rain more this coming week and I am hoping it wont be closed during the first week like it was for Wednsday and Thursday this week, which made getting down there to set up SUCK. Regardless, traffic and getting through the crowd to get to class is going to be HELL on Monday, flooded or not.

Still, I love the rain. You don't really appreciate it unless you live somewhere that hardly sees it. It HAILED over the past couple days for short spurts. Little tiny baby hail! I can actually see my breath when I go outside!

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:31:10 GMT

Someone cancelled for gallery space, so I was able to get it for a group art show. This means I'll be in three shows this semester. HOLY SHIT, BATMAN!

Dear friend,

Just because I make one comment addressing the issue on Haiti on your girlfriend's Facebook, though you feel counter to your opinion and her opinion that sending money to fund the relief would be a waste and would rather have the money spent towards education here at home, does not mean I am am personally attacking your girlfriend. I have NO idea why you singled me out for your "personal attack" when I was the most polite poster to give my opinion and the most brief. It's an emotionally charged subject and people have differing opinions and express them on the internet as well as elsewhere in life. Learn it.

Sincerely,
Rin

ETA: Edited because I TOTALLY fucked up on wording. I was pretty angry when I first wrote this and wasn't as precise as I meant to be.

In case anyone is trying to avoid the latest "No fur bashing plz" wank, I posted this recipe in the comments and I'm pasting it here for everyone.

3 pounds potatoes, sliced - Peeled or not, I like not peeled, but that's me)
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche*, stirred to loosen
1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley
salt and pepper
butter

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 13x9 baking dish with butter.
2. Arrange half of the potato slices in the dish, overlapping slightly, sprinkle with half cheese and spread half of the creme fraiche over potatoes. Cover with the second layer of potatoes, sprinkle cheese and spread the rest of the creme over it. Sprinkle parsley on top and salt and pepper generously.
3. Bake gratin for 30 minutes, uncovered. Then, reduce temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, do not cover, and cook for 45 minutes or until potatoes are lightly golden browned.
4. Remove from oven and let stand for ten minutes before serving. Serves up to eight people.

*This is hard to find but some gourmet groceries carry it. To substitute, a day or two ahead of time, heat 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream until luke warm, then remove from heat. Mix in 3 tbsp. buttermilk, then cover and let stand in a warm area for one to two days or then chill until cooking time.

I didn't know that VB was trans until I read this wank. It still took me a lot longer to realize what "dayadian" meant then to switch to the correct pronoun. Jesus, Buddha, and Nietzsche, it isn't that hard, folks. "Dayadian" creeps me out.

Also, I have a scar on my forehead and that totally makes me Harry Potter like it does everyone with a scar on their foreheads. I've also have a great grandfather who was Irish, who I also had seldom "peer contact" with (due to him dead long before I was born) so I must be more Irish than American. When do I get my dialect in the mail or do I have to sign up for some Irish revolutionary group for that?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:45:41 GMT

Three crits and one presentation in two days. No wonder my brain is like soup.

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:56:44 GMT

I may be in three shows next semester! Exciting because I have never exhibited before!

In other news, we have two days left to collect submissions for the spitting_image Night of the Bad Comic Artists post for Halloween! Please submit images or links!

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:11:51 GMT

They're filming Dancing with the Stars at the swing ballroom I go to on Fridays. I hope I still get my birthday steal dance.

ETA: Went fine. Still got my steal dance. The celeb was some guy from Iron Chef. It was a little annoying while they were filming. I did get filmed, so I may be on t.v. Probably not, but if I am, the episode airs Monday. I'll be the girl in the blue dress with the white hat on and auburn hair. Though they mainly filmed my feet. LOL

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:44:56 GMT

I'm twenty five now. What to do with the rest of the century?

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:10:08 GMT

Couldn't think of an answer to the "what makes a perfect wank" question last night, so I ended up filking instead of doing homework. Who wants to study Dokotsoyevesky anyways?

Pics from Standing on Ceremony with Peter Paige and Zachary Quinto!

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:17:29 GMT

Can you spot the GQMF's in the crowd?

Photographic evidence that I met Zachary Quinto!

(Blurry Zach and GQMFs are blurry!)

It looks like there may be a slight smile there. ;)

"All the best!" From my understanding, he signed this or "Best Wishes!" for everyone else, but I love the fact he signed in the heart! He made eye contact with me when I spoke to him, too! I was surprised I could even speak to him without stuttering (though I was sort of loud, but it was quite loud in there). And he has the a great smile, was courteous, and polite with everyone. He is awesome!

Bonus Peter Paige (Emmett from Q.A.F.!):

I talked for almost five minutes with Clark Gregg about swing dancing and I forgot to get a pic with him. I even gave him the name of the local swing ballroom near where I live. Wish I got a pic with Coco Peru, too.

ETA: Adding more pics of me as they come in. More pics and awesome can be found here and here.

FUCK GEORGE CLOONEY!

X-posted to LJ

Standing on Ceremony was great! Saw it with ontd_startrek GQMFs. Met Zachary Quinto, Peter Paige, and talked swing with Clark Gregg (mentioned Atomic Ballroom too)! Zach was very courteous, patient and sweet (there were many people in our group). I may sound fangirlly but he has such a great smile. I got two half hugs, a group picture, a single picture, and an autograph. Pics to come! I actually didn't freeze up and said more than two sentences to him! I also made eye contact when he asked me my name for the autograph. :)

Looks like I'm in for an all nighter tomorrow. I've been horrible at keeping up with homework. School has been kicking my ass and I actually have a social life now!

Thanks, ihateclooney (HAHA Quinto said "FUCK GEORGE CLOONEY!" when one of the gals said his autograph was replacing the one she had from George - New internet meme on ontd_startrek is in the making!) for showing me about town, seeing IMAX Star Trek with me, and going to Intelligentsia for coffee. I forgot to give you gas money when you dropped me off. I'll have to give it next time!

All you GQMFs rock. Thanks oshunanat for organizing this. Thanks, Carrie! Also, thanks to everyone for putting up with my mania which kicked in after dinner. I kept doing Charleston. In front of celebs. OMG <.<

Gonna pass out now! I'm getting up at 5 to do school work!

Via the Robot Chicken feed on Twitter.

This actually is real. I'm not too surprised. Oh, Japan. I also want to see it though, LOL furries. Who doesn't wanna see bunnies blowing shit up? The english name, "Apocalypse Meow," is cuter.

Medea

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:49:20 GMT

Done with Medea sketches. I chose to paint her with her slain children like a Pieta or Madonna on the Rocks image. I feel it does her heroism justice. I'm really pleased how they came out though I'll probably have to do more. She will be dressed as a 1950's housewife and it'll be on the beach. I don't know if I should have storm clouds or clear skies.

Tomorrow I will do some Medusa studies. But for now, sleep!

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:48:18 GMT

My focus for this semester will be on feminist reclaiming, or reinterpretation of mythological or ancient women in a contemporary setting. Anyone have any good links that can help? I'm already thinking Medea and Medusa (I like M names), but I am not limiting myself to only Greco-Roman or Western mythology.

OMG you guys! I was able to get an art studio at my school! :D

I'm freaking out over the fact school is starting in a week. Like really freaking out. I don't think I did enough art so I'm going to try to be super productive this week. I mean, I'm a senior and we aren't required to do anything over summer technically, but it's highly encouraged that we do art. I'm petrified of getting scolded by my teachers when I go back to school. Absolutely petrified. Though I know its irrational. Granted, I have probably done more over the summer than I have in past years - two dinky paintings and a few sketches in a smaller sketch book.

Also, borderline manic and not doing to well today. WTF brain? I'm worried that I am triggering it. But if that gets me productive and out of my depression slump, that might be a good thing. In fact, I've almost been crying all morning.

I don't know how many art majors I have on my f-list, but I really could use a pep talk right now. Or kittens. Lots and lots of kittens.

Depeche Mode OMG OMG OMG

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 07:41:24 GMT

Depeche Mode was FUCKING AMAZING live! If you get the chance, go see them! I had the BEST TIME EVER!

Here's the set list (which was easy to hunt down on Twitter thankfully-- my mind was so blown I could only remember 2/3's of it):

In Chains, Wrong, Hole to Feed, Walking in My Shoes, Precious, Fly On The Windscreen, Jezebel, Home, Come Back, Policy of Truth, In your Room, I Feel You, Somebody, Stripped, Behind the Wheel, Personal Jesus, Waiting for the Night.

ETA: Forgot Enjoy the Silence. D'oh!

Might be missing one. Not sure.

Peter Bjorn and John opened and were also a great band. And of COURSE I got a tee shirt. It's a little snug, but I hope it won't shrink. My voice is gone because I screamed practically the whole time. Can't sleep either, hyped on adrenaline so I'm waiting for it to burn up and for the eventual crash.

I think I'm in love with Martin Gore and want to have his Ziggy!Stardust!costume wearing babies.

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:34:54 GMT

I'll be seeing Standing on Ceremony at the El Portal Theater with Zachary Quinto, Jason Alexander, Coco Peru, Timothy Olyphant and more in it in Sept. So excited! I'm only three rows back too! :)
