A Geekish View of Life

I HATE technology. Stupid, bloody fuggin’ technology! ARGH! At the current moment I am having to blog from another computer right now because my new laptop is being a stupid paperweight! I won’t bore you all with the techno-babble, let’s just say that after about 8 minutes it decides to revolt and go on it’s merry way. And it doesn’t just wonder off. No. It takes the whole bloody system with it! Like some sort of hijacking or hostage! Ooooo! I could scream for frustration. So there isn’t probably gonna be many updates to the art blog for a while till I get the cursed thing working properly again. The stupid little snot. Errrgh! Okay.

That aside I had a really good weekend. A couple of my cousins came up to visit from L.A. area. Which was way cool. I don’t get to see them that often. One of them is trying to make a play at getting into Hollywood! More power to you Lee! And the other one is working on some sort of credidation or certification in sign language. Whoo! Go Liz! We went to go see the Chinese New Year parade in SF. That was fun. Lots and lots and lots of dragon and lion dance teams. But it was fun nonetheless. Actually some of the teams were really good. There’s also the obligatory floats with cute chixxorz on them. And lots of elementary school kids, who were adorable. One group came by all in monkey masks, since this is the year of the monkey. And in case you’re wondering, yes the parade does happen after the official New Year’s celebration. There were also the obligatory HS and Jr. HS marching bands, a few of them actually seemed quite good. I love hearing the drums! w00t! Drums roXXorz! Some thing wonderfully primal about a solid drum line.

Well that’s about it for me. I’ll try to keep posting when I can. Take care all!

Well it’s another day. It’s Wednesday to be exact. And I’m already behind on my art blog. Ugh. Oh well. I’ll probably post two things tonight. Anyway. I have to admit a little guilty pleasure I get out of the parking structure at school. I know, “What ‘guilty pleasure’ could anyone possibly get from a parking garage? And do I really want to know about this?” Relax, it’s nothing kinky. It’s just that I have taken to parking on the bottom level of it . . . because part of the exit lane goes though a partly walled off section of the parking lot. Why I enjoy this is that if you go faster that you are supposed to in a parking lot it feels a little like rocketing out of the Bat Cave. That’s right, The BatCave. Yes, I am an unashamed comic fan-boy. And my life is so small that I do have to invent stupid little things to amuse myself. But at least this one is really cool! ^_^ So I get to feel all heroic for the split second it takes to cross that ittty bitty stretch of parking lot.

Today was a little different. I stopped to ponder what would bring Batman out. I would like to take on the Joker and Harley Quinn. I think they make a great team, albeit a really messed up couple. Changing gears a bit, but who wouldn’t want to be Batman? He’s rich, handsome, powerful, has a cool costume, tons of cool gadgets, a butler, a bad a$$ car, plane, etc. Plus he get’s to ‘play’ with Catwoman! =^.^= Nyow! Who can resist a woman in skin tight leather/vinyl? Nicole Kidman was purrrrrfectly (oh come on you saw that coming) delicious in Batman Returns. Even if they made her character rather freakier than she was supposed to be. Nevertheless when she was in costume who could fault Batman. I mean honestly. And in the Animated series they got the character right and gave her depth too. Double bonus! And now in the comics when Jim Lee takes over they are gonna explore their relationship some more. Starting with the fact that he brings her into the BatCave! Yep, she actually sees the computer, Alfred, the works! I hope it finally works out for those two. If anyone is going to have a chance of understanding Batman it’s Catwoman. Or Talia, the daughter of Rash Al Goul, she one of the few women who know the secret of “The Great Detective”. Batman is there anything he can’t do? Sure Superman is cool and ‘Super’ but there is something about Batman that just makes him that much more real for me. Eh. Who knows. Either way it’s good stuff! Go Bats and Catwoman! May your love life be more exciting than mine. Which wouldn’t take much since I don’t have one but that’s something completely different.

Well the best to you and yours! Go read some comics!
