    Beer sounds like a great idea! :coolsmile: :cheese: Too bad I'm at work. :blank: Oh well, I'll have some when I get home. :)

    Bored, bored, bored. Watching a very slow long-term test run, tired of reading craft-of-fiction books, not inspired to write, coffee not materially improving things. :blank: Meh. I'm even tired of reading "Delta of Venus", which is a VERY bad sign! :ahhh:

    2 hours until I can leave, then tomorrow is a shortish day (worked 9 yesterday) so it'll be another 40 hour week, will make the boss happy and me richer. I have to save up cash for the chat meet and my birthday in Vegas in May! :coolsmile:

    It's going to rain Friday and Saturday and I have critical errands to run Saturday. :blank: Looks like I'll get my weekly shower in the process. :blank:

    I hope to send all weekend writing. :cheese: I really want to finish the plot outline for Threshold and get into the meat of the project. I also want to crank out a fresh flash fiction story and submit it to Flash Fiction Online and see if I can get rejected erm PUBLISHED. :red: :red:

    Gaah, more coffee, and more, and more. Gaah. :ahhh:

    Home rules say that no beer (actually it says no alcohol).

    The only beer I can get into the home is Root beer. I want some A&W root beer but I forgot my spare change at home. I am planing on getting a free coffee for myself and my roommate.

    What about Birch Beer? I love that stuff. No coloring in it, either!

    Mmph... Okay so am a bit embarrassed to upload, but after 10 hours of rendering and the lighting looking so nice... Had to X3

    The idea came from a conversation I was having with a friend about these reptiles being cranky in the morning and how it was not recommended to take pictures of 'em or approach them until noon or later. We started talking about something else and while I was showing him the different preset poses, he said the one where it was bent down low hissing looked like it was stretching, like a cat. It got me to thinking how much my cat liked photos being taken of her while she stretched, and then we both came to the conclusion that these lizards would not share that feeling XD

    So um... Yeah >_< View is a bit weird, but the lighting is <3</p>

    Also I didn't take the time to view it at 100% before stopping the render... Haha, it looked good at 50% but after I saved the image and closed Indigo I noticed a ton of fireflies on the image >< Lots of the buggers :3

    Ahh well, not going through ten hours of rendering to fix that XD

    BUT... But I am re-rendering it on my desktop, with a different pose. Partially to continue the "Don't take pictures of me without me knowing!" bit (He's turned around and is growling angrily), but also so I won't feel bad about uploading it places XD
    Don't want too many people getting the wrong idea about me =)
    (Also had to scale it down. Rendered it at 3,000 pixels wide XD)

    Spent twenty minutes fussing with my desktop before I realized Indigo can only be installed on one computer anyway *shrugs*

    Here's the progress on my "Good" picture :3
    Rendering it at less than 2,000 pixels this time XD


    Oh murr~ Sometimes Indigo amazes me with what little me can do with it X3

    Homer changed the story a little bit. It was actually a Nigerian lottery ticket.

    Flash Fiction Drop! "Wings"
    --------------------------------------

    At first, the fact that the cat hadn't come home didn't worry me. He's done this befoee, out sowing his wild oats I suppose. I went ahead and left the cat door unlocked for his return.

    I put food out, just in case, and after a few days I noticed that it was gone, but no sign of the cat. I did see odd footprints, though.. looked like birds feet. Birds?

    Sometimes I'm sure I've heard cawing. We get a lot of crows and ravens here, really big birds – about a foot or more tall. Most of the time they stick to the trees, but ever since the squirrels all vanished they seem to be everywhere.

    Just a few days ago I finally caught one coming through the cat door. A big crow, must have been ten inches tall, just shoved the door aside and hopped in like it owned the place. Sucker gave me the evil eye, too, like it was daring me to chase it off, Jumped right on to the cats food bowl and started in on the cat chow. I had no idea a bird would eat that stuff, but I never understood how the cat could stomach itm either.

    One weird thing is the neighbors. We used to talk all the time, then they started to move out. There's almost nobody left on the cul-de-sac now, just me and the little old lady up the road.

    Haven't seen her in a while. I hope she's all right. She feeds the birds all the time, she's god folk.

    Yesterday morning I found a whole flock in the kitchen. I don't see how that many could have fit through the cat door, but I counted 20 before I decided to just open the bag of cat food and leave it behind.

    They just stared at me, unblinking. That was the first time I felt afraid. No sound, no movement, just staring, staring. I could feel them even after I closed the door.

    I'm sure I heard pecking at the windows this morning. I'm out of cat food, out of my own food, everything ended up dumped in the kitchen and I'm too afraid to go back in. Looking out the windows today I saw the trees black with birds, more of them than leaves, cawing, talking to each other in mutterings and whistles.

    The phone doesn't work, looks like they broke the line. They're all I can hear now, just a continual pecking and muttering, in some nameless ancient tongue of ravens. I've locked myself in the bedroom, surely someone will come by eventually to see what's going on, right?

    I hear wings at the window.

    Great. I'm looking at a bunch of pigeons sitting on our fence right now.... :)

    I just noticed that Aiko 5 is still on sale. I'm going to buy the starter bundle.

    In case any one is wondering why I am reinstalling my runtime files: Somehow the \daz\content\data folder became corrupted some how. Therefore, I couldn't load any scenes for Daz Studio 2 or 3. I think my runtime folder for Daz Studio 4 is ok.

    You can work around that by loading the items you used in a scene into studio, they won't need to be posed or positioned. You do it once and the geometry cache in the data folder gets refreshed, there's no need to reinstall :)

    That's scary :) Looks like the light is bending and scattering around the object just enough to soften out the shadow at its edges, looks nice :)
