I can't believe I bleached my mustache for this

One last robot pic to finish up before I get into Dredd and his furry chum!  Oh the japes they will have!

Sorry, miss - I was giving myself an oil job

Unproductive day is unproductive.  But I did get to see Superman vs The Elite (terrible), The Magnificent Seven (okay), Planet of the Apes (class), and the season finale of Legend of Korra (that'll do, series), so yeah, I think I might have a notion why I did not have a productive day.

You know what we should do? We should enrol you in some man classes.

Just a quick post to meet the daily obligations.  I am currently watching Aliens and the downstairs flat is apparently getting a goat to cut the grass out back, and I do not mean a person who is derogatorily referred to as a goat who will use tools and utensils to trim the foliage, I mean an actual mammalian bovidae who will eat it with his actual goat teeth, because when you are a guy fixin' up a flat with no roofing, flooring, working electrics, ventilation, and which has been declared unfit for human habitation on two separate occasions, what you really need to top things off  in the eyes of your upstairs neighbors is a quadruped of the capra genus running around and shitting on everything because the last time you went into the back yard you somehow managed to smash all the gates into tiny gate pieces.
I think the downstairs landlord is an idiot, is what I am saying.
Or perhaps a genius.  I just realise now that "unfit for human habitation" does not apply to goats.  Of course, goats can't pay rent - or can they?  I'm so confused now...
John Cena is a man with many words on his resume: actor, singer, rapper, comedian, wrestler - unfortunately they all come right after the word "failed", though I have a soft spot for Bad Man, the video starring as it does the late Gary Coleman, who once starred in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century telling a space villain not to be "laying any of that Doctor Doom jive," and that is good enough for me.

The better one feels about one's self, the better the rest of the world looks

Placeholder post, as I'm just trying to get back into a daily posting routine so as to make myself actually work during the day rather than just amble about until chores or babysitting someone or other presents itself as a distraction.  Mostly I am listening to podcasts about film-making and Bee Gees.  Go on, no-one's looking - you know you want to:

I've got to admit, when you were punching that dead guy in the stomach, that was a serious balloon move.

I am drawing robot comics while watching Amazing Spider-Man repeats.  Not sure how my life has got to this.

I haven't watched Star Trek since I discovered the strip club near my apartment has a free buffet

Drawing (or trying to draw) clunky robots at the moment, as I go through a barmy phase of delivering what I promise to people.  An insane way to live - I don't recommend it to anyone, you end up with very little time for GCB marathons.
I've also watched the second half of the current season of the terrible 90210 and come to the conclusion that just as certainly as I and many others - teen girls and gay men, mainly - watch it ironically, it is also now being made ironically.  Those involved have no plans for the immediate future so they figure they'll just keep making this, is how I see their production meetings playing out.  You probably should not watch 90210.

Also watched Deadwood's first season... not sure what all the praise is about.  Seems an average western drama with lots of swearing to distract from that, though it's fun spotting who went on to other must-watch telly like Sons Of Anarchy and Treme.

everything I touch is food for my hunger - my hunger for power

Just a wee break from Fallout: New Vegas (it is the weekend, after all) to take Manga Studio's line tools for a spin. Not quite there yet, but the perspective grid thingy sounds like fun whenever I finally get to it.

Fare thee well, robots!

Finally done with those, so it's off to thumbnail and scribble for a few days in preparation for the rest of the Insomnia GN.

Watching: The Pacific, The Good Wife, Glee

Watching: Tooth Fairy, Miami Medical, Smackdown, Ben Hur 2009, Frank Skinner's Opinionated

Watching: Dr Who, The Bridge, The Dunwich Horror (1970)
Listening: War Rocket Ajax, Pomplemoose, Radiohead

You win this round, poorly-designed robots. You may have won in an underhanded manner by putting a gun to my head and making me drink most of the day away instead of getting some scribbling done, but you win this one...

Watching: The Mummy (1959), Vampire Diaries, Spartacus, CSI, South Park

Watching: Lost, 24, House, the Middle, Modern Family, Ben Hur

Still drawing away at the robots

Away from that, and on account of me not doing fast food or non-downloaded/DVDed television as part of my daily routine, I somehow managed to miss that I now live in a Simpsons parody of the real world...




Watching: Cougartown, Ugly Betty, Wonder Woman, Robocop: the Series, Star Trek: TOS

Watching: CSI Miami, Melrose Place, Trauma, TNA, 90210 - nothing but pure shite today, apparantly.

Still robotting away. Not paying attention to the line weight as much as I should be, though.
