Goals: My Life, So Hard :( Edition
Jun. 10th, 2011 11:56 amI made a recent discovery that I have the Hub channel and, of course, on the Hub channel exists PONIES. But in my time zone, My Little Pony starts at 6am during the week, except for on Mondays, where it starts at 5:30am. Now, I am no means a morning person. No matter how hard I fucking try, I can't be a morning person. I'm really fucking tired of people irl trying to bootstrap me into being one because just because YOU can do it, doesn't mean I can do it so just lay the fuck off okay?
So. I thought, why not get up early enough during the week just so I can watch PONIES? Obviously, I could record it for later, but that defeats the purpose of this whole exercise, which is to wake up early and brainwash myself with unbridled lack of cynicism and the magic of friendship!
So far this week I have failed :'(
But there's always next week!

Yesterday I decided I needed to have some Wonder Woman by M.A.C. lipstick in Russian Red. It is different than the usual shade of reds I go for because it is matte and has a slight blue undertone.
But omg the packaging! Mike Allred did the art!
Here's me sporting said lipstick :3

HOW DID I FORGET THAT THIS IS ON MY LJ PROFILE PAGE
SAYS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME TBH
SO I HAVE A QUESTION:
What is your Mac OS X-compatible software of choice for extracting things from .mov or .avi files for the sole purpose of making annoying gifs, :D?
It seems right now my current workflow choice is:
1. open .mov or .avi in QuickTime Pro 7
2. trim file to desired annoying sequence
3. Export trimmed file as annoying image sequence (*.gif, *.jpeg, or whatever).
4. Select all images, right click and open in Fireworks as one file.
5. Crop or whatever. Export, try to keep under 500k.
What do you use?
THIS IS ALL TERRIBLY IMPORTANT BY THE WAY.
PS: Hellooo flist, I am a terrible journal abandoning person :'(
I STOLE THIS MEME YES I DID

6. ... who?
THREE THINGS YOU ARE WEARING RIGHT NOW:
1. A comfy zip-up hoody
2. A black tank top with white piping and a little embroidered penguin logo or something.

In my defense these are like bedtime clothes okay.

Batman: the Red Hood Arc
Feb. 25th, 2010 03:51 pmThis is more Batman spam, but least I am posting now rather than letting my accounts languish in disrepair.
The Red Hood aka The Red Hood Trolls Black Mask
When we begin in Batman #635, Bruce is engaged in battle with the mysterious and trolly Red Hood.
The fight climaxes with Red Hood yanking off Bruce's hood. Red Hood decides do likewise. Bruce's shocked expression is amazing. Look at the intensity!! The manpain is palpable. :')
( More panel spam here! Nothing too spoilery in case you haven't read it yet. And if you haven't OH GOD, GO READ IT. HERE'S WHY: )
More later! Including ONE OF MY FAVORITE NIGHTWING ARCS :D. Sponsored by Batboots!® on your face!

I think this might be Talia al Ghul's first appearance in Batman. This from the Saga of Ra's Al Ghul, a four part miniseries printed in the 80's which was actually a reprint from the 70's. So.
Batman was tracking the ominously-named Dr Darrk, who had just happened to kidnap Talia. Batman and Darrk duked it out. Then Darrk's henchmen battered him with sticks until he passed out. This is when he came to:
Bruce panicked about his hood being off and they assessed the situation. Talia chose this time to introduce herself:
They parted ways eventually. Then some kidnapping shenanigans ensued. At one point, Batman battled a leopard! And climbed a treacherous, snowy mountain while snipers rained bullets in his general direction. Why? All because Ra's had to *~*test*~* Bruce to see if he was suitable for his daughter :'D
This is my favorite panel so far:
I'm still missing two issues from the series. I know all this has been retconned to the moon by now but lol who cares.

And now for a round of… "I SHIP IT"
Feb. 2nd, 2010 06:06 pmI've been reading Suicide Squad lately. I was reading Secret Six (okay, still am) but it was recommended I read Suicide Squad as well.
I'm around issue #35 but I'm missing a few issues so I had to have the DC Wiki and whatnot fill me in for the time being. Because see, I had to skip ahead and read where the Suicide Squad takes an involuntary trip to Apokolips.
More on that later, because I have to dig up #36 which is the stunning conclusion to the Apokolips arch. Plus, I really feel I must devote a separate post of scans for it.
First, check out these awesome sound effects :D
( MOAR SUICIDE SQUAD PLEASE )
Also I've been reading Batgirl. Damn you, this is how I get sucked into the DCU isn't it >:(
PS: Amanda Waller is the very definition of GAR :D:
