	Welcome To My Home... December 10, 2002 It's Jazz! Get It? I didn't think I'd have anything to write about tonight. Then I went to the jazz singers concert. The seats for things like this are reserved when you buy the ticket. Since I really didn't care where I sat, I told the person at the ticket window that I really didn't care where I sat. She picked out a nice seat for me near the center and I said "thank you." The concert was actually very good. All of the performers showed extreme talent, and the song selections were relatively pleasant. But good things don't generally get a whole lot of screen time here, and as you may have guessed, I started writing this post with intentions other than to offer praise to the jazz performers. As so often is the case in these types of situations, I was forced to emerge from the secluded safety of my dorm room and actually interact with other human beings - some of whom have, according to Freud, lived through absolutely horrible potty-training experiences during their forgotten youth and thus have developed, due to a series of events completely out of their own control, into specimen known commonly to the non-Freudian community as morons. As luck would have it, the nice lady at the ticket window managed to sit me directly next to one of these buggers. I thought the performance was good. The idiot next to me thought it was hilarious. I don't for the life of me know what he found so funny, but for fully the first forty-five minutes of the concert (I kid you not), this reject hardly ever stopped laughing. Mostly he'd just be convulsing in his seat making occasional snorting noises, but there were times when he actually audibly laughed. So as not to let others confuse our close proximity as some sort of friendship, I'd kind of duck my head off to the side as everone turned around to look at this freak sitting next to me. I don't think I've ever laughed so uncontrollably as this nutcase in my life. And this was a freaking jazz concert. I fear he'd near suffocate himself if he was ever exposed to some sort of actual humor. I swear. It was like being in middle school all over again. Comments December 10, 2002 The Other Stuff I've added a quick picture I did for a speed painting thread over at the Megatokyo forums. This picture represents about an hour of my life - posted here to give you about five seconds enjoyment. No reference was used, but the sunset is actually based on one I saw driving back up here last week. In-progress shots can be found here or through the CG art index page. This was, like I said, just a quick thing. Something much bigger is coming... Here's a bit of holiday cheer. I think it's darn funny. So did the police, actually, but they made her take it down because of all the injury calls they kept getting. Here's that story; it's worth a read. Speaking of holiday spirit, among other things, here's a man who confused snow for vandalism. I think the article speaks for itself. In case George is reading this, some guy has calculated pi to 1.24 TRILLION digits. If George is not reading this, then I apologize to everyone else who doesn't care for wasting your time. This may come as a surprise: In the works is a Tremors TV Series (with Michael Gross) and a fourth (direct to video) movie. The Tremors movies are awesome - but even the third started to become just a rehash of jokes from the first two. I mean, really, how much can you do with big worms? I guess we'll see. Maybe I can find someone with Sci-Fi channel to tape some of those for me by the time it premiers. Uh... You might want to come take a look at this. Note that we're looking at a good 400 pages of material. I'm not even sure what to say. December 11, 2002 Blogging for Dummies I think the bulk of that book is cleverly disguised as "examples." Good idea though, wish I had thought of it first. -Victor		Quick Links - Fun 'n Folly - Juggling Club - RF Haunt - RF Gallery News/Updates HOME - Latest Post ARCHIVE - Full Archive <- PREV | NEXT -> 12/10 - It's Jazz!
