Argh, I'd forgotten how aggravating it is to find a place that can make nice, *accurate* color prints. It's been so long since I've had to print something! I guess I won't have anything to show the 38 Studios people. :C I just tried Kinko's, which is usually alright, but their internet was down, and then there credit card reader was down, and then it was up again, and then I got my stuff printed, and it looked like super-crepe.
I've heard Office Max is good and offers a really good student discount, so...I'll try that next time. It's like a 20 minute drive away though, so I don't have time to do that before the lecture. Ah well.
I'm reminded how I told myself a few months ago "have some stuff printed, companies come in the spring".

I wasn't aware there were such places.
Well....nice/accurate enough. :P
Things made on a computer will always look best on a screen.
[edit] and actually, for that exact reason, I am glad that most companies prefer a website portfolio instead of a print portfolio. Best presentation, and freeeee!

It's a horrible balancing act, printing.
It's almost as if you have to finish your art, ramp up the contrast 200% and then try looking for what's going to piss you off when you pick up the print and try to mitigate it.
Most AC systems actually function as a part of your furnace. It might just be some confusion on the part of the installer.

Well, our building either has the heat on or the cooling on- I'm pretty sure that, before easter we were getting cold air and after easter we came back to the room boiling hot. We first thought they turned the heat on again but no one else in the building had a problem.
Apparently they re-wired the knob (or something) over break?
The knob in your room? Did you receive written notice of the visit?

Nope!
They don't do that kind of considerate thing here at cape. If i'm not lazy (i'm totally lazy) I will post pictures of what they did to our bathroom at the start of this year.
(in short, they replaced the light fixture over the summer. Said light fixture comes in contact with the door meaning that, if you want to close the restroom door, you're still left with about a 2 foot gap you can see out of....
1) how did they change the fixture and not check to see if the door would close.
2) why does this not seem important enough to fix, even over x-mas break
I was busy making a sandwich, since my wife is at school and can't make it for me.
What are we talking about bitches?
Oh right yeah well if a girl asks if her ass is fat in a dress just tell her you like big asses and hers is tops. Just make everything into a compliment and you'll ace everything with bitches. But I also don't mind my women or men with a lil' meat on them.

The correct answer is no.
The dress does not make you look fat.
The shit you eat every day makes you look fat.

Sooooooo 38 Studios' presentation was freakin' awesome, they did portfolio reviews even, and a short Q&A, they seem like awesome people
I also saw a handful of game majors I knew / was kinda buddies with, which was awesome, we all said hello to each other...two of these guys are really, really good...both 3D modelers, but their 2D skills are also pretty damn good...absolutely going to be in the industry soon after graduating, I'm sure...and we were all, "it would be totally cool if we worked together somewhere!" and then they told me that apparently I'm "known" in the game design dept, which I thought was hilariously surprising, and random...that people know my name, even if they don't know what I look like.....but that also gave me a huge ego/excitement boost, and I was all, "WOOOO!" and I'm still all, "WOOOO!" and my apathy has drastically subsided....I'm really excited about sending out my portfoliote now, soonish....excite excite yay!
Also I've been looking through Jet Li's filmography for the last hour. I'm convinced he made a movie sometime after Fearless that isn't on any of these lists.
He gets washed up in a small rice village place with no memory and shit. What the hell am I going crazy. Because I am pretty sure I am not.

It takes time to learn a new language when you start from zero. Keep at it, it gets easier as you go.
H&A is not serving up the requisite amount of hilarious angst. I should really go to bed.
I wish I had some chocolate.
that is so hot

whatever
I don't even count
*scratches crotch*
That's not a nice thing to...
Oh.
Hippie.
My bad.
Almost as hot as throwing up on a tree.
In other news, Germans just don't understand the coen brothers.

Thanks!
Also if possible I try to get printing places to let me do a dry run (I mean, I still pay for it) so I know if I should tweak settings.
better get some water.
Everyone should actually do this...but I'm a lazy lazy man.
I just had to turn the knob from "cool" to "warm"
I love how things in this building make sense...

Perhaps a monocle should have been added...
Edit*
Not being directed at anyone in particular to clarify, I say as I notice he is looking up >_>
You can never have enough.
Two mustaches, two monocles, two top hats.
EDIT: No wait! The tails are held aloft by filthy people of limited means.
They'll make it dirty.

Also Ikage, thank you for being awesome, I discovered a new art thing today studying your doodles that i wasn't aware of previously.
Also I've been looking through Jet Li's filmography for the last hour. I'm convinced he made a movie sometime after Fearless that isn't on any of these lists.
