The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Early Morning Open Thread

Yesterday I was going to work on one of my reviews but came up with a problem. The weather as too good to pass up. I ended up taking an enthusiastic walk through the woods… and to the bank. Plus a side trip to purchase some pickled ginger.

 

Anyway, onto other stuff… I’ve been contemplating a purchase on steam.

I still have some of my tax rebate leftover to get it, that and my birthday is coming up so I might as well get myself something I know I’ll use (No one is going to gift it to me, and I’ll make sure of it). I’ve been following this software since it originally came out. It rarely goes on sale, and if I strike now I’ll be able to learn about basic mocap and have fun with it.

The good news is that the kinect works perfectly with my laptop (and it should), meaning I can pack up my studio and go pretty much anywhere to do some goofy animation.

Speaking of birthdays I got some early presents. A Vietnamese robe and two piece Chinese shirt and skirt suit. Both black and red. One of my coworkers who shares the same interests for oriental culture as I do is moving to another place and doesn’t use them. We’ve exchanged gifts before, like hairsticks, tea, teapots, I’ll have to think of something to return the favor with. Maybe a house warming present with some flowering teas and some bento boxes.

Those XBoxes will kill you.

This brings “Red Ring Of Death” a new meaning.

A Lauderhill man told a bizarre tale of needing to find a victim who had a Taurus zodiac sign when he described the fatal Easter Sunday stabbing of his live-in girlfriend to police, authorities said Monday.
A broken and bloody Xbox 360 gaming system was found near her body, along with three knives, police said.

I share the same zodiac sign, and now I know to avoid contards like the plague. :shock:

I might need to go into hiding.

Early Morning Open Thread

Lets see… Kinda got distracted during the weekend. Had company over, a good portion of Slackers were playing TF2 (and some of us in CS:GO tonight), work hasn’t been too bad and nothing really interesting to be reported. For a weekend that doesn’t happen too often.

Oh well, tomorrow is probably my Friday. I’m sure I’ll be posting random things. I already have some to do lists.

This is just too funny.

I seriously have no words for this. It writes itself.

Earlier this week a Target shopper sparked a controversy on Twitter after discovering that the same gray dress was listed as “Manatee Gray” in the plus-size version and simply “Heather Gray” in the “Missy” category. The company is now scrambling to apologize for the snafu, saying it uses the manatee color name all over the site. That makes us wonder — what other totally inappropriate and/or wacky color names are floating around out there?

Manatee gray. Because that’s what it looks like when these ladies put it on. :lol:

Actually they should be flattered. They say the story of mermaids originally came from manatees. So actually the dress is complimenting them! :D
