So like...last week I saw Dragonball and I was gonna write a geeky review on it, but then I forgot.
Basically, it raped my childhood and I can't take it back even after years of therapy and counseling.
The only thing good that came out of this was that little white boys can dress up as Goku now without all the Asian kids in their neighbourhood at Halloween heckling them. That's a huge universal problem you know. White kids are such posers.

I'm not even going to try and be funny. It was just bad.
I don't even know what compelled me to see it. I mean...maybe for a laugh?
I wasn't laughing...I was crying.

p.s. Who else wanted to punch Bulma?
p.p.s. Who else wanted to punch the whole movie?

I am two decades old. I'm no longer a teenager yay.
However, since I'm living in Canada, there's nothing really special about turning 20 so I'm not particularly enthused about this birthday since I can already drink legally and whatnot and vote and look at porn.

Anyway, The Ananas Collab is moving along smoothly and I've even received some pretty hilarious examples of work and one awesome mostly done submission by a certain someone. You know who you aaaaare.

I kinda wished that when I first discovered this site in 2004ish that I had gotten an account and not waited 2 years to get an account. I also wish I hadn't taken so long to get involved on this site. I've met some pretty awesome people because of this site and they've all made me feel really welcome.
This website is such a great networking device and it's really inspired me to get more creative and become interested in flash again. I really love this site. AND ALL OF YOU!
<3

Kay so ROBBBBBB and I have chosen who will be taking part in the Ananas Collab. Thanks for all who showed interest or wrote us an idea. Hell, thanks for having a look at the collab forum or even watching the show.

p.s. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN 11 DAYS. WHAT DID YOU GET ME?!

So, Rob, a.k.a Bobert-Rob has posted a forum topic about our Ananas Collab
And if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, then head on over there.
That is all.
<3

edit: Monsieur Tom Fulp has mentioned the collab on his latest news post! I'm just THRILLED. We're getting so many people who are interested it's crazy.

I decided to touch up my Heroes collab part and I'm more happier with this one.

Anyway, I've been feeling much more comfortable with flash lately and I think I may work on a short animation and then actually work on that MASSIVE SCRIPT that I wrote with a couple of geniuses.

SO Good news this week is that I got into the art school I applied to! So, hopefully I'll be learning some more flash things there as well as graphic design and other artsy stuff!

ANOTHER NOTE, this one of which will stress Rob out.
Rob Winchester and I have decided to start a collab together and we'll be organizing it etc. and we're going to hype it up FOR NOW. Anyway, this collab has a VERY OBSCURE subject and I thought I'd start off by saying that.
Back in grade school French class I was forced to watch this educational show called Téléfrançais which was a bizarre show filled with puppets, insanity, a talking pineapple and a lot of French.
NOW, IF THAT DOESN'T INTRIGUE YOU, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.
Here is the link to the first episode, IT'S LESS THAN TEN MINUTES LONG!

SO have fun with that and after you've watched it and you're interested in maybe participating in this potential collab, then please get back to me on that! Don't worry about fps or anything else like that, we're just trying to gain interest!

All the best!
<3

BTW you don't have to speak a lick of French! :]

I'm done my part for the collab.
Hopefully everyone likes it and it gets put in.
IT'S NOT VERY GOOD.
But anyway, I had fun making it.
Here's a screen cap!

Edit: deadline has been extended to March 1st!
So, I'm going to make it super extra special now! :D

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ANIMATING! I HAVE LIKE 23 HOURS UNTIL MY PART FOR THE HEROES COLLAB IS DUE.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
PROCRASTINATION IS SETTLING IN!
Must...not...succumb... to...distractions.
*does anyway*

Well, I'm not at the moment... obviously. I've been working on my part for a Heroes collab and I'm hoping that it'll do alright and that the collab DOES happen. If you wanna take part in it here's the topic: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/10 11134/1
You still have quite a bit of time!

The new volume of Heroes is already blowing my mind. I am SO glad they got rid of a bunch of unnecessary characters and basically cut out a shit load of plot lines. This means it won't take me 10 minutes to explain the plot of ONE EPISODE if someone asks me.
I KNOW they're obviously looking to win back their fans who gave up on the show because of all the random crap they kept throwing into it. Whateverrrrr I still love it even if I'm left full of questions after EVERY episode.

Not sure how I feel about Sylar going bad again besides the thing about girls loving bad boys...cuz it's definitely working on me.

ALSO another note
I AM SO PISSED BECAUSE I CAN'T GET DECENTLY PRICED FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS TICKETS!
GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Oh man.
I have purchased une tablet.
I am completely in love with it.
When I took it out of the box I basically orgasmed.
I bought the one I was the most interested in which is the one I was talking about in my previous post:
The Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet.
It's hella fuckin' fun, fo shiz.
I'm so excited to make some really awesome digital art. There's seriously NO hassle with this and I love all the extra shit it came with.
So here's the first drawing I made.
It was done in Painter yo!

I know it's only been like five days since my last post, but I was really getting sick of looking at it. Plus, I've had this account for like two years and didn't make a post or even really do anything with this account until this year...well 2008. I think I owe it to my account to journal whore it.

So, I've written the script. Audio shit will be commencing soon.

ALSO, I'm going to be purchasing a tablet.
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THIS ANIMATION.
I've always wanted a tablet. I've just always gotten by using paper, pencil, scanner and the touch pad on my laptop. There have always been those moments when I thought, "Damn, this digital editing sure would be a fuckload better and easier if I didn't have to keep drawing things on paper. Fuckin' stoneage."

So yes, I'm thinking about getting one o' those Wacom Bamboo Fun tablets. One of those little ones cuz I think that's all I need for what I want to accomplish so far.

I dunno...if you're keen on the subject then feel free to comment with your everlasting spring of knowledge.

Love, love, love,
Alicia
