Oh Anneque they say, you're a jerk who never posts and never answers comments.

I won! I won! Whoohoo, I won!

Thank you Bubble the Wartortle! See here: bubble-the-wartortle.deviantar… shiny pokemon drawing comp for my picture here: skullanddog.deviantart.com/art…

Now excuse me while I do a Zoidburg dance around the room, whooowhoopwhoopwhoowooo!

Hot things right now:

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon - so much fun, a big juicy blue laser heart of a game. I'm nearly finished the story and sidequests, then I can whore myself out to the cheevos.

This song youtu.be/M1ufW2INWmM - My People by the Presets. Oh Julian, you're such a sexbot. I saw the Presets live at the Enmore earlier this year, and they brought the roof down with this song. It was just insane. You can see the footage and hear the crowd here www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEbrxk…

This picture by Aerophoenix aerophoinix.deviantart.com/art… which is just about the hottest and coolest thing ever. The sunlight behind those wings, my god. This guy could tower over a mountain.

All of Toriamosioik's Hiddles fics and pictures. Found here toriamosioik.deviantart.com/ga… , great for a laugh. I'd say also great for some lunch time philosophy, but mainly it's the squirrel kind.

Good looking men.
Although they're pretty much always hot.

Oh! And it's Dog's birthday on Sunday. The perfect excuse to not be home for Mothers' Day! I'll have to think of a song to have played on the radio for him. Maybe if I request Alan Jackson's 5 o' Clock Somewhere, and they play it in the morning, that will be an excuse to drink all day. Hm...

You might have noticed, or maybe not, that I'm extremely lacklustre at replying to things. Like everyone who's on social media, at any given time you've got a hundred or two hundred or occasionally on DA, a thousand things to reply to. Well, ha ha. My best method for dealing with this is to forget to reply to anything, even really important things, such as to friends and watchers, and people asking questions and making good comments. So! If I have forgotten to reply to something, remember that I love you, Tori and Aerophoenix and Sparklelord and Jichan and everyone else whose names I'm misspelling.

So recently I became part of a project to make a vidya game. The project is being run by Mule Train Industries, which is run by the enigmatic Mule, who recently flipped over the front of his motorbike and had it land on him and as a result broke his leg in two places. He's stuck in a place three hours' drive from us with no internet for at least the next four weeks, so that's really put a big stopper in the game's progress. Which is fantastic, because as creative director I can finally catch up on those things I hadn't done, such as concept art and story.

Another project my good friend ExplodingLamas and I are running is the mapping of local bike trails. It's really not a creative project at all, but in some ways it feels as such, there is a definite air of questing. To map we're using a combination of Strava and Google maps/ local maps. To make each trail we have to ride it first, and then break it into segments, and we can make the trails from there. They'll be available on my Skullventure! blog and will cover NSW, with a focus on the Bathurst and Tumut areas.

Hm. Then there are the writing projects. One is my writers' group, the GC. I'd like to expand a little on the GC, but first that means getting it up to standard. Our writers are all above standard, it's just that the process of providing feedback needs to be brought back in. Basically the group is given a short story challenge every month, and they have the month to come up with a story which is then compiled into an anthology and distributed to people in the group. We also offer writing resources, but again that needs getting up to standard.

Otherwise, I've got a really cool project which you will begin seeing tomorrow, fingers crossed. This is a serial story called l'Appel du Vide (the Call of the Void), and features space-time detectives hopping through multiple dimensions to solve crimes such as cross-dimensional smuggling rings and alien fugitives. I've had an absolute ball writing it and can't wait to get it going. Chapters will be released twice a week on DA and Wordpress.

On top of that, busy typing the Fallouts volume 3, and man has that been a nightmare to sort out. The draft is complete, but sits at about 460 pages, hand-written, and so much has changed in the four years since I wrote the draft that I'm caught in a whirlpool of back and forth and rearrangements and man, it's just ugh. But as I get deeper into the story, the back and forth is lessening. Then there's the blogs and regular art stuff and man! This is why I forget to reply to things. Some days I forget to do any of it and go play Far Cry (Fary Cary) for a while. I can't tell you how many times in that game I've been mauled by tigers. Why are there so many tigers in my game?!

See y'all soon, stay beautiful!

Hey y'all incredible, sexy and talented deviants. Hope you're all getting your art on.

Today I looked at some great art and it made me quite depressed. I mean, look at this: skullanddog.deviantart.com/art… . This is depressingly good. Number one thing to do (after all the other things): get better at art.

You know what is even better than being good at Aerte? It's looking hot in a flapper dress. Such as: www.courtjesterfancydresshire.…
So if you look really hot in a flapper dress, you don't have to be good at art! People will want to paint you! And then you are IN good art. And you get to sleep around with crazy drugged out painters and over-caffinated photoshoppers. Wow, ouch, the life of a pearl, better than drowning at sea.

Well, probably. Being a pirate would also be pretty awesome, bad teeth and scurvy aside. Living in the Caribbean, also nice. And it would be super dreamy to be marooned on an island and only have yourself for company. Or, you could be taking care of your family, or some friends. Be the strong leader type, hunt, make things, yeah! Building shelter, yeah! Only you're doing it in the 21st century, you know, NOW, so that there is some hope of a plane flying over and rescuing you. Until then, tropical holiday!

Over time you make friends and determine a hierarchy. Maybe that cute girl will be the person you tell all your secrets too as you cling to her at night for warmth. That big guy with the beard? You know he'd give his life for any of you. That ugly-in-an-appealing way redhead chick? She's the comic relief, she's the smartest person you've ever met. Yeah, you're a real tight little community. Until you realise that people on the island are dying, the virgins are dying, it's getting awful sinister, and one day you find a camera in a coconut and realise the entire marooned scenario has been rigged from the offset! That you are actually in a television program for American audiences, that the people who could save you know exactly where you are, but they won't, they won't ever, not until only one person remains alive out of your ragtag little family, and that's because you landed on...

HORROR SURVIVAL PORNOGRAPHY ISLAND

And that's why you should never drink on an aeroplane.

Until next time, stay sexy <3
