The Last Journal of Mankind

Don Maitz has been a regular fixture in Dragon*con's artist alley for as long as I've been attending. I recently had a chance to interview him, and I thought the D*C community might be interested in it. He talked about his early convention experiences as a fan, and then as a vendor. He also discusses why he loves painting pirates, and why learning a bit about copyright law is important for aspiring artists. Link: An Interview with Hugo Award Winning Fantasy Artist Don Maitz.

If you haven't had a chance to see him at Dragon*cons past, definitely stop by the artist alley and say "hello." Don is one of my favorite regular D*C guests. (And if you buy one of his calendar's, he'll usually do a little sketch just for you in the back!)

Being the horrible fangirl that I am, I made some Brendon Small icons.

[PSP-posted] Not sure why the site calls it a 'Godiva Chocolate Martini' with no gin in the receipe, but whatever. Working late all this week to make up for Northgate's fun parking policies.

WARNING: THIS IS A RANT...READING IS NOT NECESSARY.


Okay, now that I've put up the disclaimer it's your own fault if you read this.

This morning when I woke up I checked my facebook like I do every morning.
Ken had recently made a comment about pub vs club etc, which I had in turn
commented too.
I notice this morning that someone has commented back and its in direct relation
to me.
About something that I have completely moved on from and I am honestly trying to forget.
But it's a little hard when the other person has clearly not moved on.
Why can't people just realize that they have a good life and that bringing up annoyances from
the past only damages them in the process.

I responded to the post and then immediately wished I didn't because it wasn't even on my profile....
Which brings me to my next point. We are never going to "make up" which is, you know...whatever.
But I feel horrible to have mutual friends caught between the drama. Drama which I don't even want.

At this point I don't think there is even a right or a wrong or anything that matters anymore...in my opinion
it was a serious of mistakes made on both parts that ended horribly.
But the key word there is ended.....

And I'm done.

Sorry

I had to brief the new Navy Intelligence Reserve Region (NIRR) Commanding Officer (CO) and my Unit's new CO on Saturday. Today my new CO gave me a coin! You may remember a few months ago I was excited because I got a coin from the CO at Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Command (NMITC). I think that's pretty good to get two coins as a reservist for meritorious reasons and not as moral boosters while deployed.

I'm glad drill weekend is over. It is a good experience, but it is so tiring. I had to go to bed at like 8 P.M. last night to wake up at 3 A.M. today. Then I had to write a paper for school and post to the discussion board for class participation credit. Now I finally get to hang out with my husband for a couple hours. Yay.

Hey everyone. First post, and I come bearing gifts.

... I'm going to ask everyone to please excuse how terrible some of them are, as it's been forever since I've last made icons. But, here we go.

From season 3, episodes 3 and 4.

[38x] Metalocalypse
- 7x Nathan
- 13x Toki
- 3x Skwisgaar
- 4x Murderface
- 2x Pickles
- 6x Group
- 3x Misc.

(Fake cut? I know not of what you speak.)


EDIT: Apparently, some of the .gifs are too large for LJ. I'll be working on fixing those, but I'll probably hold off until tomorrow, as I want to go to bed (and my photoshop only works on the computer without internet, which means I'd have to go through a lot of transfering I'd rather not get into tonight). I apologize, it's apparently been about three years since I last made icons, and I er... forgot the size they were supposed to be, I guess.

EDIT #2: All icons are now LJ friendly.
