Okay...

We're expecting between 6-18 inches of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday.

My sister, who HATES being in the house if she doesn't have to be, and is convinced that all this is happening because the universe is out to Get Her (because when something goes wrong that affects her, it is happening to affect her, personally, even if it involved someone else getting hurt -- if they didn't want to make her mad, they should've had better taste than to get hurt!), is already going into 'screeching witch' mode.

Oh, did I mention she has this incredible talent for finding people's buttons and pushing them without mercy? And that when she's unable to do everything she wants to do, she does this as a way to entertain herself? Indeed, she's done it to the relatives and neighbors and fellow students and co-workers so often that none of them willingly associate with her any more. Of coure, lacking any choice in the matter, that means that I get to get nailed by this for hours on end.

Spring cannot arrive soon enough.

The Saints won the Superbowl?

The NEW ORLEANS SAINTS won the freaking SUPERBOWL? The biggest joke team in the entire NFL? Now I know why we're getting all the snow (another 6-12 inches starting tomorrow night -- oh well who needs to be able to leave their house?), Hell froze over and they're sending us the leftovers.

Ye gods, what's next? A team in fursuits for next year? The return of Vince McMahon's XFL?

According to Wikipedia, Centralia is finally being abadoned by government order, with the final handful of too-crazy-to-leave residents being forcibly removed for their own safety.

I do wonder if any of them will prefer to go down with the town by either comitting suicide or shooting at the cops; the good Lord alone knows why anyone would kill to stay in a town that's literally burning out from under you, but it's happened. Repeatedly. One infamous case involved a man shooting his wife when she told him they were leaving. He then went out into the hills over the town beside one of the old air shafts for the mine, doused himself in gasoline, and struck a match. It's enough to make one believe that place really is cursed.

Goodbye, Centralia, you're sure to be visited by foolish thrillseekers for years if not decades to come.

You'll probably enjoy taking a trip down nostalgia lane at this site:

Kiddie Matinee

It lists several dozen films that were once played on every Saturday in America at thousands of movie theaters all across the country. The Three Stooges in Orbit,Alakazam the Great,The Magic Sword and many, many more, as well as cartoons and short subjects that were shown.

If you enjoyed the old Saturday afternoon matinee, or ever wondered what all the fuss was about, you'll enjoy the site.

One film that should be especially interesting for fursuiters is the West German film The Big Bad Wolf, with all the actors doing the entire film in fursuits. Hmm, maybe Hollywood could redo it and find a part for the Three Little Vixens (Ginger, Autumn, and Zeitgeist)? Okay, probably not, but hey we can always dream, right?

Best all!

Does anyone know how to resize/alter a pair of bitmap files so I can post them elsewhere, like on FA?

I'd need to make them jpeg and (at least for one of them) it's probably help a lot if I could make it smaller in size -- right now it's something like 10,639 KB.

Thanks for any help or advice.

A lovely suit made by a sweet young lady at FC that I think deserves more praise than it got.

I give you -- Ember the Jackal!



I especially like those giant ears of hers and the well-done black-and-grey 'saddle' on her back. Very authentic.

Here's hoping she comes back for next year.

Right up to attempted homicide, at least by my understanding of the law.

Got this from a fur over the greymuzzle and man, is it just me, or does this sound nasty to you too?( Read more... )

Surely I'm not the only one to remember this classic horror film from 1939, am I?

GONE WITH THE WIND -- with Vampires!

Enjoy!

Friday: I get up, snatch breakfast with Ken at a local joint named Peggy Sue's (nice food and the 50's theme was well handled), and head for the con. The dealer's den was insane( Read more... )
