I'm working on a new logo, something easier to put on garments and whatnot. What do you think?

| Almost back to normal |
| My schedule should be nearing normalacy again. Which means I've gotta get creating. I have my next product in the works. I gave up on the greaser jeans for now. I'm just not inspired on them. And when that happens it's best to put them aside for a bit until it hits me. |

| Western Digits |
So I replaced the Seagate with a Western Digital 320gb SATA drive...so far everythings copied over and it looks like it's holding up. And that means the new box is pretty much complete.
Intel core 2 duo e6300 processor, 2 GB of 667Mhz Ram, BFG GeForce 7950 PCIe graphics card, 320GB 300MBs SATA hard drive. The next thing the sock drawer money goes toward is a shiny new wacom tablet! It'll be a while, but it'll be worth it.
I should take a few pics of my ugly ass PC and post them here when I get home. I bought the ugliest floor model case we had at the time, it's awesome!
...come on baby tell me, yes we aim to please... |

| Saving for frustration |
| So I finally saved the money to upgrade my computer (some x-mas cash certainly helped) and now after 2 days the 300gb seagate harddrive is dieing. 2 days. Remember back when things that cost $150 last 3, even 4 whole days? |

| I can see clearly now! |
I got my x-mas gift early! A 19" viewsonic vx922 LCD monitor, oh happy glorious day! You just don't know how hard your CRT is on your lookers til you use a nice lcd instead. My headaches gone!
On the new release horizon, Satine asked about cuffed greaser jeans so that's next on the agenda. Although, with the new baby and the multi-part family x-mas stuff I'll not be doing much or loggin on much the next week and a half.

| So I got that going for me |
It's Friday! I'm quite pleased to have survived another week. Hopefully my cable is back up by the time I get home tonight.
The plan is to go to CompUSA after work, and before I go to my second job, and pick up a new monitor! Hooody Hoo!
Now I've gotta figure out which one....

The company catered lunch today at both buildings since they're doing inventory. Since I float between the two buildings I snagged 2 lunches! Fried chicken, potatos, and mac-n-cheese at my building, and italian and ham and cheese pitas at the other building
SCORE!
...what if I wanted to break...

| Brand new Edgar suit |
Noam introduced me to Nylon's skins and I scored some serious muttonchops! Niiice. I hope I can catch her and beg for a shaved head version (as opposed to a bald head version) to wear whilst rocking the 'hawk. I should have pictures, but I'm at work. so...I don't. Have pictures, that is.
secondlife://Tableau/186/187/23
That's the location.
I'm not normally a fan of "hand drawn" skins or clothes, as "hand drawn" is usually used to mean more cartoonish or "artsy". I guess it's meant to draw the line between photosourcing (photoshoping existing pictures into SL templates) and things created without the use of external art. But I really like the skin I bought. It may be "hand drawn" but it has the realistic feel that I like. I'll update this post with pics when I get home this afternoon.
*edit* I found the ad for the skins, and it's just bizarre how different a shape can make a skin look.

| drawing with a potato |
Crap I forgot how much I hate trying to draw with a roller ball mouse. I'm at work and trying to find this hair style because Noam is making a completely cool and original hairstyle (which is masculine) and it made me think of this kind of a stand up ponytail that looks kind of like an inverted mop. But I can't find a picture of it, mainly because I don't know what it's really called. So long story longer...I tried to draw it at work.. Not so awe-inspiring =)
But if you know what these are called, let me know.
And yes, I rock the MSPaint yo
...but it feels alright as long as something's happening... |

| Dirtay |
Noam gave me the awesome suggestion of releasing my mechanic shirts in a dirtay filthay version. They should be done tomorrow, depending on how much trouble I have with setting up this small business server 2003 for this guy tonight after work. I've never set one up before, so I'm scrambling. I hate scrambling. Unless it's eggs, I love scrambled eggs..with a little cheese, some paprika a lil black pepper...

| Oxford! |
They Oxfords are done and up for sale!
I'm pleased with how they turned out, and the fact that I made them as long sleeve, but you can adjust the sleeve length and wear the prim rolled-up sleeves makes them versatile. |

| Music |
SO!
I'm transferring music from home to my webspace, so I can download it at work and listen here, it's only about 2.5GB but I don't have a DVD burner at home. I'm realizing, as I FTP the songs to my work machine that I have a lot of music I don't listen to.
The Buddy Holly glasses are done! I'll post them tonight, but I've got a website meeting after work, so it won't be til after that. Hopefully I'll have the dress shirts done this weekend. I wanna wear 'em!

| Payday |
Welp, got my first check from the new job and I was really happy until I realized I'm not having healthcare taken out yet...dur. Still, it's a much better gig and the pay is better if not great. The new shades are coming along. Barely Schlegal humped me at Dark City last night til I agreed to do some Buddy Holly style glasses. The dress shirt is coming along nicely, gonna do a sleeves down and sleeves up version.
'Kota and I hung out at Dark City for a bit, and then at The Velvet, til she had to log due to weird Aussie time stuff. Still, fun was had!

| 668MB |
Do not ever transfer 668MB of files to a USB flash drive via USB 1.1
It takes an hour :P
So, the plan is to build my own store, I have an idea for what I want to do, here's hoping everything works out for a place to actually build the sucker.
The idea is a chop shop. Pieces of cars, old hydraulic lifts, grease, grime, and questionable ethics.
What I need from my friends is places that have things that fit that theme....neon bar signs, hub caps, things like that. If not to buy and put in the place, at least give me some ideas. Of course, if my secret sugar daddy doesn't come thru, no new store, but here's keeping the digits crossed.

| Shirt |
Working on a dress shirt worn open tonight, I need to do some new shades too.
A girl at work brought in her Lost season 1 boxed set, so I could start getting caught up I guess. I told her I really enjoyed "Heroes" and she said she did too, and that I was missing out not watching Lost.
It's snowing, and the roads are for shit. :( I hate winter. If I could get a job in Cali or someplace warm like that we'd be gone in a minute. I just don't have the time or credentials (degree, certificates, portfolio) so it's not gonna happen.
Bleh :P |

| Bomb collar |
Welp, I hate prims. Not quite happy with the collar yet, so the jackets won't be up til tomorrow. But I did get the brown and black versions of the jackets themselves done, so that's cool.
I LOVE that my new job gives me time to post here during the day.
I HATE that my stupid Linksys router (my second one in 4 years) died. I really can't afford $50 right now...or ever.
I bought a Belkin wireless router for $40, and just turned off the wireless. Meh. I'd have much rather put that into a new computer. Savins! |
