Ok, need to get a few rants out of the way first. First off is a leaked picture of Thaz's "wonderful new cration". I'm saying that with sarcasm in case you can't tell. Here's his latest abomination.



What's with the giant nose? And the stupid smile that looks like his lips can't go any further. And the huge forehead? I can't believe I thought this might be good. This thing could make the pterodragons look decent. I'm not getting this stupid thing. Goodness. The man can't draw to save his life. I don't know why he can't put in the quality to dragon adopters that he does on deviantart. If he had stuck to the Lion King style this would have worked but he's screwed that up now. May-be I will get one just to see if I can be among the first and have people drooling to find out what each stage will be. I hate how he draws wings with no supports. How do those things stay open? They'd just be floppy membranes. The sleeping western has the same problem. He needs to stick to coloring other people's work and forget about drawing. So feel free to use this image and help spread it around the world.

Happy Winter Solstice everyone. So today is the longest night of the year. It was rather dark and nasty out so early today. Around 5:45 it got dark. Yuck. But now the return of the sun begins. To commemorate this I made a sketch of Sorath welcoming the sun back.



I'm quite happy with this as a sketch. This was my second attempt. My frist one I made him too big and he wouldn't have fit on the page. So I did something I've never done before. I started by drawing his feet. I really love the pose that he's in. His anatomy is so much fun to draw. He's very angular. He lends himself well to difficult poses too.

I don't know if any of you can help me out, but do you remember when I wrote that little short story about how Cope does his hair in the morning? How he puts the gel in and all that? I can't find it and I really need to. Seems stupid me didn't tag it either "story", "writing" or "Cope". I remember getting comments that you thought it was funny but I can't track it down. Searching for Cope on my journal would be pointless. I did search on yahoo for my journal looking for Gel since I don't use that word often. Nothing.
.

I sent out nearly all the cards today. You can see who I've checked off Here. Chris is going to the post office with them so hopefully they'll make it out today. To those of you over seas, sorry about being late. And I figured I'd post this again since I mentioned it back in Novemmber but here is My Wish List for this year. Thanks to those of you that already sent cards and stuff. I'm having a great Christmas so far.

It's been cold. Last night it dropped down to 37. All the budgies are in the house right now. Cockatiels got covered good. It's going to be bad for the next few nights so I'm kind of stuck with all these budgies. Apart from the mess they make it's a lot of fun. I need to read up on that Barns, Sheds and Outbuildings book I have because I really want to start working on the aviary.

I'm thinking of designing some new return address lables too. I had my budgie ones printed on one big sheet of sticker paper and the worst was cutting each lable with a knife. Very frustrating and tedious. But I'm going to pick up some of the premade ones from Office Depot and hopefully I can make a template for them. I'd like to make four unique ones. One of each of my guys on it. But we'll see. Or may-be different birds. I'll probably spend most of today just quietly proof reading my story. It's long and I'm such a slow reader. I do miss working on art but I just can't do that right now.
.

Chris and I went out to Wal-Mart today because we ran out of certain types of bird food. We picked up a few bags to hold us over because our usual feed story is closed until after Christmas. How inconvenient. But it was fun getting out. It's been cold. I don't like it. The hawk is trying to get in the patio again, but luckily no window attacks today. I really hope he's a northern and will go away in the Spring. I tried Lipton Green Iced Tea with citrus today and it was really good! If I see it again I may have to try more. But I also had a coke and I've been having coffees and my chest hurts a little and I got kind of weird. So I may have to back off a little on caffeine at least Cokes which seem to be too potent for me.

I got all the cards and envelopes done today! But I didn't realize it was Sunday so they'll go out tomorrow. Yes, I'm definitely cutting it close.
I've been having fun watching Chris play the Shimering Isles portion of Oblivion. I shouldn't see too much because I really want to play that now. It's so heavily influenced by Alice In Wonderland and those stories. The god your run errands for is the god of maddness so it all ties in well.

Dragon Adopters has announced they will release a new species for the new year. From the shadow they have up it looks like a winged lion. I actually am a bit excited about this one. If it's drawn in Lion King style it shouldn't be too bad. Like it or not I can't get one because I already have all seven slots full. Lots of others have already asked if he'll allow 8 since they too don't want to release any of the ones they have. I'm quite certain this one will produce fur, which means there has to be a third species in the works to even things out for the shedding production. It seemed wrong to me that there were three reptile scale producers and only two of the others. Of course if Thaz had listened to me and just made a new shedding like Feathers or Bones he would only have had to create two new species and that would have brought the prices of sheddings back up over all after the whole powder screw up.
.

Today was a nice day. Chris didn't get any calls and I printed out most of the cards. I have four more to do. He cut them for me and they look very nice. His parents invited us out to eat for Christmas and Chris's bosses were there too. This was a fancy seafood place we'd gone to every year. They'd always been good but this time was a disapointment and they made so many mistakes that I'm never going back. There were hairs stuck to the bottom of our drinking glasses. Chris ordered a Coke but when they came to refill they gave him tea. Oops. I ordered Crab legs and they used to come in this snake basket looking things. When the waiter told me they don't do that anymore and that they were better I knew that wasn't good. Why fix the formula if it isn't broken? I think they were king crab legs instead of Alaskan snow crab. The king has the spines and made it hard to open. They didn't have those tiny forks anymore which is perfect for shell fish. And it didn't taste good. It just tasted old. I always finish them. Not this time. I also never share. I gave one to my father in law who's also a seafood fan and he said it was bad too. Chris ordered steak and lobster and they forgot the lobster. The steak was good but I tried his lobster. It was gross. I was not amused. I gave his parents one of my cards and his dad really liked my art. He was showing it to everyone. Hehe. It was cold and raining so I ran into the car on the way out and Chris picked up the gifts. We got some awesome stuff!! We both got gift cards to Best Buy, Borders, American Express gift card ( can be used anywhere), and I got one for Home Depot and he got one for Outback. Woo hoo!! Wow that's awesome! Very good gifts definitely!
Does anyone have experience with American Express gift cards? I wonder if I can use them on Ebay? Well, I need to decide carefully what I'm going to buy with all this stuff. I'm going to horde my Best Buy stuff because MAY-BE I can get a nice laptop if I get enough cards, or something else nice like that but not as expensive. Here's hoping. Christmas isn't over yet.

I had another peppermint Mocha from Starbucks today. It was nice.
Have you guys seen that you can now write a short blurb on Dragon Adopters? That's kinda like having a profile. But it's limited to 70 words. Right now I just have the url to my journal showing there. When I first saw it I wasn't sure what it was so I just wrote in "WTF is this?" I always react that way to change. Chris doesn't like the intrusive arrow that makes it look like a word balloon. It covers his name. I don't blame him. They should have just made it a square underneath. Another thing I must add to the message I'll send. I MUST do that soon. I need to force myself to do it. And of course the butt licking has commenced on the comments. No one can think for themselves. It's sickening. But I must say I do enjoy clicking on names to see what people have writen, just as much as I enjoy seeing what avatars they have. You couldn't tell much about a person unless they had crative dragon names. Now we can tell a little more but not much.

Chris and I had an interesting NT conversation the other day. We were talking about the Cryptkeeper since it's that time of year for his Cryptmas Album. I then asked him if he thought Cryptkeeper was a zombie or a skeleton. Chris said a skeletal zombie. Hey no cheating now. But then he explained to me that zombies are fleshy and he's too thin to really be a zombie. He's right and I realized that a zombie needs to be freshly dead too. They do have more meat, but Cryptkeeper isn't quite a skeleton either. I then go, "He's a mummy!" Chris said without the bandages. No no. I explained that mummies don't have to be Egyptian and wrapped. A mummy is a dried preserved corpse. They don't have to have bandages. All you need is a dry environment like the dinosaur mummies that are naturally preserved. So we were very happy to have figured that out. Cryptkeepr is a mummy!

EDIT: Sorry. I was typing real fast. I think I've fixed all the spelling errors now.
Note to self. Talk about Tags next time.
.

I'm very happy today. I woke up to a lovely email from sike_saner. She had sent me some gift that she made of Thagirion in the game Spore. I know there have been several expansion packs and I've missed out on a good deal because my computer is too slow and stupid to handle the regular game. Anyway, check out Thagirion version 2.0. Much better than the one I made.


Click for full size. I'm impressed and I know how limiting the game can be. So this is the first time I've seen Thagirion (not Davon) in a video game. Best one so far. Nice. A few more and these will go behidn the cut because they are big.

( Thagirion in Spore )

Sigh, it seems I can't ever give out praise to a site without it then making me into a liar. I should just stick to point out flaws. You can't go wrong with that. Forget praise. I love LJ but lately they've been doing some stupid things. I thought they were offering a free account for the holiday. So I sent these coupons to my other accounts and to Chris. What it is is pays for half and you pay the other half. What kind of lousy gift is that? "Here's coupon and you can pay for the rest of your account yourself. Merry Christmas." Yeah right! Why don't they just offer them at half off so we can buy them for our friends? So everyone's royally pissed about this. No big deal I just declined to use them all. The free V gifts are up now and they are these UGLY pictures that say TMI. What kind of Christmas gift is that? I wouldn't give anyone that for free. And then I heard they "sold out" and people couldn't get them. HAHAHA! I told them to please bring back the snow flake. The one good thing that they did is now you can see who's visited your journal. Here is the link. I don't know if it's a paid feature only though. Lastly, I don't know who or how but I realized I have two bucks worth of credits for V-gifts. I don't know how that happened or if one of my stalkers secretly gave me two bucks. Whatever, YOINK! I've been giving enough. Perhaps I'll spend them on myself and get two V-gifts. Hey I didn't pay for them so it's ok. To: Me, From: Me. That's how I'll sign them hehe. Now to decide what I want. Perhaps I'll do it in January when all the December gifts get put away. Who knows how long those two bucks were in there.

I sent the PSD file to Chris's computer and it worked! I got 16 cards printed out then I ran out of paper. They look really nice! I'm so glad I used the Deathclaw. I need to print four more then I should be done. Then I just have to make envelopes and I can finally mail them out. I know my over seas friends will definitely get theirs late. Sorry about that. I know Chris got me a gift today. He had to hide it hehe. Luckily I'm not one of those that has to go hunting and spoil the surprise. I can wait til Christmas.
.

Well I never did find the templates to the cards. So I had to make them from scratch in photoshop. Not impossible but I am a lazy artist like all the others. It would have been easier to just use a template. I'll have to make sure to not lose it for next year's card when I go on one of my mad back up sprees. Anyway, Chris bought me the new ink cartidges and I stick them in the printer. Printer won't work. After searching and searching we never found the CD. But I found every other CD I needed including Sony Movie Studio so I might make some youtube stuff finally. Provided I can get around to installing it. Anyway, after going to the wrong site and trying to download the drivers I finally got them from HP. I hate HP products. They never work right and they have invasive programing. So I install the stupid drivers and still nothing. Seems it's the USB cable isn't working because it's not detecting the hardware. Well that just sucks because the plug that goes into the printer is specialized. I can't just use any 'ol USB. By this point I'm quite mad, probably need a new printer and was pissed we'd blown nearly forty bucks on ink we won't use. Chris also has an HP printer/scanner/copier. That means I have to AIM him my HUGE PSD file. He's going to try to return and exchange the cartridge for the cartidges for his printer. At least his works but this has been so annoying and there's still potential for problems. Like my PSD not opening on his photoshop. But that's never been a problem before. Of course my printer never had problems before either.

So because I had all this extra angry energy I decided to use it to clean my desk. I tend to become very productive when angry. I created Thagirion out of anger back in 1999 and he's one of my most awesome creations. Well it was about time and I think my desk looks great. I hope I can finish this project soon like by tomorrow. I also started inking the drawing of Owen and his fire sword. I'm not sure how I'm going to make the road he's standing on but I do need to give it a background so you can see the effect that his sword is see through. It's clear metal after all.

Speaking of lazy artists, a buddy of mine on Dragon Adopters showed me a very interesting Disney video. Now you know how I say all artists are lazy and we'll cut corners and if we can get away with stuff we will. Animators reuse poses. Just watch He-Man to know what I mean. I kinda knew that Disney did this but it was rather amazing to see how this person superimposed all the footage from Robin Hood, The Junble Book, Snow White, Mr. Toad and a few others. Now you have to admit it's kind of understandable since back then they didn't have computers and it was easier to just trace stuff. Though using the same gag in Mr. Toad and Jungle Book was a bit much. But to have the waltz scene from Sleeping Beauty ripped off in Beauty and the Beast to the point that the camera angles are the same and pull out the same is too much. They had computers by the time Beauty and the Beast came around. So this is amazing and sad to watch, but at the same time I can't blame them form an art point of view. There's no law you can't rip yourself off and I must say I've been tempted to do similar stuff. But I will keep a high standard and not do that. Oh yeah, turn off the comments by clicking on the box in the lower right. I hate badly placed annotations.



EDIT: AARRRGGG!!! Why did LJ change the search bar in the banner on the journal pages? I liked that it had a drop down box for categories like interests. Now it's just a long ugly bar that's probably too general.

I love this three part FAQ. But sometimes I have a hard time finding it as a I have so many links saved in my favorites. I'll post it here to share with you. I think you'll find it amusing but it's all true. I think there are only one or two things that I disagreed with for myself.

( INTJ FAQ )

.

You guys know I love Christmas but I know some of you aren't too keen on the season. That's ok and I have lots of funny songs to share with you that are anti-season. These three are by Bob Rivers and are rather funny. Please take and enjoy and let me know what you think.

The Twelve Pains of Christmas
The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen
Police Stop My Car

I'm cracking up just writing the names out. They'll be up for a week. Get them while they're hot.

We got a star for our tree. It was a cheap one that glows green and blue. Two of my favorite colors so it's cool. My life membership for The National Home Gardening Club is finally all paid for. So I wish they'd stop billing me especially after they sent me my all paid final gift. There's some bad communication in the billing department obviously.

This morning I woke up to this funny sight.



Chopin barred the gates to his castle with his water bowl. Too funny. I always put his bowl on the far side of the cage so it was funny to see him in the castle and the bowl right there blocking the enterance.



Chris got me this little motorcycle model today. This is great because I can use it as a reference and view it from any angle when I draw.
I also got new ink cartridges for my printer. So tomorrow I will work on printing out the Christmas cards. Unfortunately I couldn't find the card templates from last year. That means I have to make them from scratch. I can do it but it's a bit annoying. I'll have to make sure to hold onto them this time for the 2010 cards next year. Some of you will probably get the cards late after Christmas but I'll do my best to get them out as soon as I can. I needed both black and color but it looks like they don't sell them individually anymore. That's not good because when I'm done I'm going to need just color. I always run out on the last few.

And in big ambitious plans...I want to build a new aviary. I want to put all the budgies, cockatiels, finches and doves in one big flight. So I'll be drawing up plans for the new aviary. I need to read up on how to build a roof, make an A frame and how to install doors and windows. It seems hard not knowing anything so I hope I can do it. If I can pull this off then I shouldn't have a hard time building another pigeon loft and chicken coop. I think the most expensive part will be buying large panels of wire mesh.
.

I've been working both on my story and on my card today. Before I get to that I want to say thanks to darknessiguana, the_insane_0ne, rhodielady_47 and roman_pirate for the cards. They motivated me to hurry up on mine already. Roman Pirate, thanks so much for the gift. I didn't expect anyone would get me anything off my list.

So anyway, I have finished the photoshop work on this year's card. YEAY!
EDIT: MAJOR EDIT!!



Ok, so I have decided that THIS will be the card I use instead. I'm proud of this one unlike the budgie one I made. I'm proud to send this out to all my friends and it's up there in quality with the 2007 budgie and the 2008 Cope. This works so well as a winter scene not just a desert night. I think she's beautiful.

( Failed Budgie attempt )

While working on my story I've found something new I need to fix. I need to come up with last names for the early lesser characters. I think even though some played minor roles I need to have quality in my book so all characters should have first and last names. I suck at coming up with names so I'm not too thrilled about this. So the editing process has commenced. I'm still on chapter one and have a long way to go.

...uh, was just looking through my profile here and realized my Deathclaw drawing would make a beautiful Christmas Card instead and live up to the quality and standard I like. Holy Cow. She's running through the desert at night but if I add a few snowflakes it would look like snow dunes. Opinions? Do respond please. I can't do both so I need to decide.
I don't remember what font I used in my banner up here. I like it too and should use it again.

I have decided and I found the font. It's Pristina.

EDIT: EDIT: Forgot to mention. I added Bethesda Studios to my card list. I will send them this since I'm such a big Deathclaw fan and I hope that I can impress them.
.

Once again I got nothing accomplished creative wise. Tomorrow I want to really work on my story and start on my card. I need to be at the printing stage and sending them out already. I'm tempted to cheat this year and use a photograph but I shouldn't. I pride myself on making cards from my own art. Must not listen to the lazy voice. I know some of you wanted to see what Tesla looks like now. Here's a pic.



He doesn't like the playgym. He just sat there and didn't move. I wanted to have him in the room with me while I typed, but he was a statue. Not good.

Chris got half the day off today and I think he'll get he day off tomorrow too. Today we went out and we got our first tree for our house. I'm very happy. I'm going to put the pics behind the cut.

( Tree and a few close up lights )

I've been having trouble with photobucket lately. It doesn't always load my images from IE. In FireFox it would use the old uploader where you had 20 slots. But that didn't work today either and it asked to install the plugin so I did. It was for Adobe Flash 10. So now I have that new uploader and I knew that would be bad. Sure enough now I keep getting a message in FireFox saying a movie is messing things up and to abort when no movie is playing and saying abort does nothing. Great I hope I don't have another virus. That would suck.

Well folks seems that the free snowflake I sent to you all is the reason why you have not been recieving e-mail notifications. People sent so many it back logged the e-mails and that's why LJ took down the snowflake. I read about it on News here. I did leave this comment.

I'm disapointed the snowflake cookie is gone. I managed to send it to most of my friends, but they didn't have time to send one back. You really should have a few free V-gifts like that because some people like me refuse to pay and others, like kids or people without jobs, can't even aford to shell out a dollar but would like to send gifts to friends. I don't have my journal set to get emails so I never missed anything. I do hope you bring them back. This was such a wonderful little thing for Christmas.

There was a link to the maintenence journal and one thing they said was promising. Makes me wish I hadn't commented now.

1. The free snowflake gift that some people found in the gift shop over the weekend wasn't meant to be there; it was a side-effect of code related to the new payment processing and LiveJournal shop backend we've been working on most of this year (and a good portion of which went live in release #59). No user-facing differences were supposed to be noticeable, but this one v-gift was inadvertently added temporarily and marked as free. As part of the upgrading of our payment system, we'll be able to offer free v-gifts in the future, so if you enjoyed having this to send around over the weekend hang tight for a few weeks and we'll have the capability to offer you some more.

Wow, they're going to do it!! I left them this nice response.

Oh wonderful! I just posted on News that I was very disapointed the snowflake was gone as it's a great thing for people that can't aford for V-Gifts but would love to give some anyway. I think that offering a few free ones in the future is a wonderful idea. I'm now not so disapointed and will be checking the store more often to see what you all make. It's little features like these why I think LJ is the best journal system out there.

They say notifications are also now back online and you should be getting them in order though late. I don't use E-mail notices though and have my own way of keeping up with posts. For one this Comments Page is a very useful link. I recommend it to all of you. For paid accounts you can view your last 100 comments in your own journal and see links to comments you've left on other journals and communites. But not posts you've started in communities. As for me, I tend to memeorize the number of posts that are here on my LJ and on my friends page. I always check when the number changes to see if I got a response. For my journal I usually know if there's a new response if I have an odd number and and even number on friends page. It's not a perfect system as people posting multiple times can throw the odd and even thing off but nothing ever is perfect and so far it's worked pretty well for me.

Blarg and the city or the county is out in my yard right now trimming my plam tree. I have no love for that ugly tree and am not surprised as it's probably getting into the phonelines. I would be fine if they chopped the whole thing down. Yet another blunder of the former owner to plant it right under the powerlines. I have a huge list of the stupid things the former owner did . YARG!
.

I'm quite amazed how close I am to finishing my story. I placed all the parts I'd writen seperately into the main document today. That was a big step and my book is currently sitting at 115 pages of small type. The sections I have to write up I will try to work into the main document instead of writing out seperately. Finding where they go can be hard too. So unless something comes up there are only four more points that need to be covered. Then I need to proof read for bad grammar, poor wording and scientific inaccuracies. It sounds so simple but I'm dreading it. I need to smooth out the sections that I literally just pasted in so it's a smooth transition for the reader. I'm getting to the point where I need to seriously start to think about a cover. So far I'm not getting any ideas.

I played a little Oblivion today because by the end of the day I felt like I was going to explode with energy and didn't know what to do. Owen is at level 25 and I'm only just now entering the first Oblivion gate. I want to go in there and get a daedric axe, give it soul trap and a few other nasty properties and name it Thagirion's Thirst.

I brought Tesla and Protist into the computer room today and set up a playgym for them so they could watch me while I worked. They didn't do much, but it was nice to have a bit of budgie company. I'm trying to get Tesla used to me and like going into different rooms. I need to find my Sony Vegas Movie Stuid CD. I need to reinstall it so I can make youtube videos again. Chris will have to help me find it. I know it's in the CD pile somewhere in the closet.

I hate making these short posts but there really isn't much to say. Working on my story was the biggest thing and I can't say too much about that. I've mostly been in my head today so it's been rather enjoyable.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that LJ took down the free snowflake cookie. Oh! I guess I won't be getting anymore. I still think it's a waste of money to pay for an icon you can save for free. They do have some new ones of Christmas lights and ball ornaments I really liked, but not for a dollar. I did "View All" and was agast that one stupid key one is $100. WTF? Anyone could steal it and put it on their profile for nothing.
.

Woo hoo!! Sea Catch finally turned 100 this evening. I'm pretty much done with him and moved him to the back. I still need to get him a better necklace and species specific jewelry of the best type. I need to rebuild my resources before I try making more. I had a few fails. So only four more left to grow up to 100. I removed him from the sidebar so now that's shorter. That's good.

I worked a little bit on my story today. I'm happy about that. Chris asked me what percentage he thought I was on it. I'm around 98% I'd say and of course the home streach is always the slowest. But I think I can meet my personal goal of finishing before the end of the year. I've got to!

I don't remember if I mentioned this but my green budgie's name is officially Tesla now. I think he's in the learning to talk stage. I say "budgie, Tesla, hello and pretty bird" to him everyday all the time. I do need to separate him from Peep and Protist though. But he's not bonded to them so I think he'll learn to talk. I need to scan my budgie drawing for the Christmas card. It's been so long I hope I remember how to use photoshop hehe. Feels like it's been forever. But I'm getting strong urges to draw as well. I hope I can make some cool new drawings soon. I'm kind of getting ideas for my alternate story too. I think I have an ending so I kinda know what to work towards. But mostly I have scenes and lots of unanswered questions I need to figure out on my own.
.

Oh man I hate that I'm such a procrastinator. I was so determined to work on my creative projects and I didn't do anything. I must make myself write tomorrow. But I did do a lot of chores and cleaning today which I'm happy about. Chris helped me clear some boxes that were by the door in our bedroom. Soon I'll be able to access the patio from there again. The house is slowly coming along.

Some of you might have noticed that there's a pterodragon in my sidebar now. And yes you're probably confused after I put them down so much. Rest asured there is a reason. I always have a reason for everything I do. That's the oldest one in the game and I'm tired of going to his page every other day or so and giving him a click. This way I can watch without showing up in his logs or adding to the view count. It will change when it will change then I can remove it. This way I can watch it on my grounds and my terms. Yes, I'm a parasite that way and proud of it. I just wish I'd thought of this sooner. I used to do this with arvyre back when I used to care. Sea Catch has 79% to go. Good grief! Hurry up! So I think he'll finally reach 100 by tomorrow night and I'll finally be done with him. He's always been my slowest dragon even with lots of clicks.



I'm quite pleased because I think I've made a new friend on Dragon Adopters. I'm amazed. I never thought this would happen but someone PMed me and asked if I named Sea Catch after the white seal. EEP! Sea Catch is such an obscure name and from the stupid PM's I've recived ( and you all have seen how bad they are) I'm quite happy and surprised. I've been having pleasant conversations with this person about cartoon history. I love talking about old Warner Bros and Disney. I love talking about how Disney is both great and aweful. Chris and I had a conversation about how we're one of the few that names our dragons after a theme. Hardly anyone else does that and it's probably because most people there are just plain stupid and uneducated.

Speaking of Disney, I REALLY want the next dvd set of Zorro. Chris and I watched one of the hour long episodes and it was so neat. This is a show I must have watched when I was very young because I don't remember anything except the intro and theme song. I know I watched it everyday but unlike other old shows when I see them the whole episode doesn't suddenly rush back to me. It's kind of wried because I'm not used to that. It's not until it's over that suddenly I remember one small scene. Oh yeah! I know I've seen them all. I spent so many hours glued to the TV in the 80s. I'm still amazed today how much I used to watch and how I just dont' watch TV now. But what I watched was all good quality stuff so it was worth all the hours.

As much as I love the 80's and had a wonderful childhood sometimes I feel I was born too late. Watching Zorro and growing up with a Spanish background really makes me feel like I miss the old ways. How that is possible I don't know since I wasn't alive back then, but when Many lived with us she used to play old song and I some how understood. I've always have had a way of figuring things out or just understanding language and history by being told just a phrase or a line. I guess that's just my intuition. It's always kind of freaked me out too but it has been most helpful. The 1800s and second age of exploration always seems to speak to me for some reason. I think I would have liked living in that time period.

Well, I've been really bad about keeping records on my other journals. I must update thagirion and sorath_blacksun. I think I shall do that after this. Yikes not sure how to tag this entry.
