...there used to be a penguin on my telly but the telly exploded.
The Penguin was OK save a broken foot when he fell off. Nothing a little contact cement couldn't fix.
He now happily resides on the top shelf of one of the large book cases.
I never replaced the telly for fear it would give him flashbacks.
I now listen to the radio but avoid tuning to Radio4 in the evening as they tend to have spontaneous combustion issues of the explosive kind.
...meanwhile in Milwaukee WI yesterday...
Bat-ketball...
The commentator does a much better job describing the scene than I could.
....have a friend who used to not only sleep walk but even do things like go to the kitchen and prepare food while doing so. When her husband mentioned this she thought he was daft. but one night while he managed to wake her and she wondered why was she in the kitchen.
As it turns out she had two personas, the repressed one (which actually was the "real" her since childhood) was the sleepwalker. After therapy her original personality was brought out and the other one disappeard.
She no longer sleepwalks and finds she actually craves certain foods she hated all these years (some that even made her ill). She has also lost weight, become much more comfortable around others (though stupidity still sets her off a bit, but who doesn't get annoyed by that) and even began to work on a world building project for a story.
...I find a good spicy curry to be an excellent and rather tasty medication. Not sure about the Indian Cuisine scene in Austin though. Up here they are everywhere, almost like London (there's one just a couple blocks from my place).
Barring that good o'l fashion chicken soup does a good job as well. Not the fancy "gourmet" brands, but plain old Campbell's. If you have a gook Kosher Deli in town a bowl of Matzoball soup and a pastrami sandwich with minced horseradish (not the "prepared" kind watered down with mayo), works well too, at least for me. If anything, it's good comfort food.
For a nagging sore throat, I use a shot of Tuaca in hot cider.

Did the penguin come from Burma?
Burma? Sorry I panicked. Did it come from the Antarctic?
Morning. Sunny here today :)
Sun setting here. Enjoy it while it lasts.
There was a beautiful big moon here last night, you will enjoy it :)

...nah, actually from the Meyer & Frank warehouse in Portland, OR. They did this big clearance before closing the warehouse down and let the people they hired (including temps like me) take whatever they wanted from the display items that were left. The warehouse was converted to loft condos after it was sold.
The first thing I thought when I saw it was "that would look great on the telly".
Fire and flooding rains, must be January in Australia :)
...Cold and Rainy. Yep, January in Portland.
...well, another weekend bites the dust and the work week looms ahead.
Yep, it;s that time again, the last week of the month so have to get ready to close ll the accounts again.
Back to long commutes on overcrowded buses that are never on time.
Meh, need to win the Megabucks, stat!
Nite all...
i have nightmares about no clean water left on earth. i'd like to learn how to distill water, but afraid of accidentally causing bad accident with gases.
there was an episode of extreme countdowns on animal planet and they said how the leftovers from birth control pills is ending up in the water. sooooooo megga yuckk does the Britta filters filter hormones?
Hopes so :)
No floods here so far, just smokey grey in the sky for a couple of weeks. There are fires at the back of my friend's house across town from lightning strikes but no rain for us so far this year :). 1000km Northward there was a metre of rain last night :lol:
My only forum of birth control is no sex. (that is in real life. maybe my daydreams)
In my daydreams I am brave so I can handle anything that comes to me.
I am not brave. I would become a zombie. though I do not say . bite me. I would not say that to a zombie as it would bite me of course
my roommate thinks I do not like zombies, but I am trying to figure them out. maybe there is a cure for the zombies to let them have seen normal lives.
I want to see the movie where a zombie becomes aware.
did I post in the wrong thread?
Been watching the sun go down over the bay :)
Harrumph. Today is blanketed with slate grey and dead white snow.
So the sun set is beautiful, and the snow is awful? I assume the snow is awful by your choice of adjectives.
Random question... Is there a way to get lights to bounce of objects such as the floor and walls... 3ds max does this by default... OR does daz not do reflected/bounced light?
Complaint - I not feeling well at all today :( I even cut down smoking, as it's making me feel worse. Maybe it's time to finally stop. I hope I stop, it's so damn expensive, and it's something I do regret taking up in the first place.
Non-complaint - I'm addicted to family guy atm. Wish Cleveland would return to the main series again.
Well... it is more like the world appears DEAD right now, as the lights are all "wrong". As weird as it can be, snow can appear "alive" and "dead", depending on weather and lighting. Right now both are wrong, and thus creating the effect of "dead" snow. This is difficult to explain, I mean, I've lived in this environment for 37 years, I'm like fish who has no words for water, I just know when things look the way they do -- dead snow, living snow.
Complaint: Food is too hot (temperature-wise).
Solution: Turn on the USB fan, since it blows air at the right angle to cool it down!
Mwahahahahhaa.
That is interesting outlook :-P I like water under certain lighting conditions... such as sun rise/ sun set... Those tropical waters that appear aqua/ and true blue. Cant say I ever considered it dead lol
I think the word for "wrong" sort of tropical water is "sulky" instead of dead; like, it is not stormy, it is just clouded and all meh and lackluster and doesn't want to do anything at all.
Yeah I can see what Skiriki means. It is difficult to explain to someone who is not used to snow, and snowy conditions. But this is a reasonable comparison
Dead-ish snow
Snow is more Alive here
first one isn't as dead as I would want it to be for the comparison, but people tend not to tkae photo's of dead snow.
edited, now This snow is dead
Yes and no, there are indirect shaders in the brickyard, and Uber Surface 2 - don't understand it at al but others do - and the Reality plugin, what you use depends a lot upon what you are trying to do ;)

Now I know what you refer to. It's all about the lighting, the sky weather conditions. Never knew about that term :)

Hmmm, I'll toy with Uber Surface 2... Generally I prefer HSS, But I guess that's what I'm used to, and that's what all the characters use. Dont use reality, and now that I use features that Reality dont support, I dont think it's much an option for me.
I had to cheat and make the roof have an ambient surface strength just to simulate that light actually hits the roof. But it just dont look right, and the walls too should be bouncing light on the objects and characters.
Cheers Borg :)

That was featured in pirates of the Caribbean. Symbols when a soul comes back from the dead. :-P

I've found that just by using an Indirect shader camera you can get bounced light in a scene.
