2xEDIT: While I'm on the subject, it's kitten story time...
My mum works with customs at the Sydney international airport. A while ago they were doing a routine check through a cargo container (or something similar, I don't know the specifics) when one of the group heard a sound. After a little bit of searching they found an entire litter of kittens hidden within some plastic wrapping near the back. These kittens were absolutely new; no more than a day or two old. The crate had come from Thailand, where the mother must have found her way in to the cargo facility, and figured that it was quiet and soft enough to settle down for a while.
It's amazing that these kittens survived, considering the conditions that would have been in the cargo bay of an international flight. Admittedly, I'm not sure what these conditions would be like, but I get the impression that these areas are neither pressurised or heated. And here they were, crawling blindly and mewing for a mother who, by the looks of it, was nowhere in sight.
After reporting the unexpected shipment of kittens, the group started discussing things, but...

... eventually an airport official came along. Australia's quarrantie laws are very stict, and there was no way they could let a litter of kittens, possibly carring any number of foreign contaminants, in to Australia.
I don't know if I should call them lucky or unlucky. To think, after surviving all that to make it to Australia, they only ended up living for a few days.
Man, have you guys ever tried to join a yacht club? What a pain in the ass. Apparently, I need to know two people who are currently members and who are willing to sign my application as proposer and seconder. This is just as much of a pain as when I joined the Freemasons. I wonder if there's a goat involved in this initiation process too! In case you're wondering, I'm trying to join up at these two places:
Yay, My folks are dropping off my Jimmy Fallon painting at Rockefeller Plaza this morning! Hopefully someone at the NBC reception desk will give it to Jimmy rather than throwing in the dumpster
i'm so pissy today
i don't even know why but i am seriously pissy as fuck today.
my boss was sitting in the lunch room with me and someone goes "i'm surprised they didn't get you to draw a design for a coin" and he's like "what?" and the guy goes "well you're an artist"
and i snort and go "yeah cause being a graphic artist makes you an illustrator"
and guy goes "well i just figured you could draw anything"
and i look at my boss and go "can you draw everything?" sarcastically
and he glares at me and goes "i was drawing before you were born"
and i'm like... i... that doesn't really mean anything, have you dedicated your whole life to it since before i was born?
and he goes "well i drew 6 hours a day in college, i don't really do it anymore"
and i was like "man 6 hours a day is nothing, i've been putting that in for years, on my own time"
anyways, it got really catty, and i got defensive, and someone told me it's not a pissing contest, then i felt embarrassed
why the fuck am i so defensive over this shit?

I do it sometimes, too, Alex. Sometimes it feels like I need to prove something, and in return I start acting like I know everything about everything. My room mate is notorious for this, he will argue everything, even if he knows he is wrong, just to keep face.
I've nearly killed him because of it several times.
i guess he got sensitive about it or something,
now i feel bad
You could apologize.
I get those moments too. It stems from insecurity and I guess as an artist, the desire to not be understood. And beav, you lied, since you definitely could do a coin design.

I guess the officially currency of Baconistan isn't going to get that adorable red panda nickel after all.
Makes my violent rise to power almost not even worth it, really.
So I got through about 30 negatives last night on my scanner and decided I was tired and went to bed. I woke up this morning and was going to warm up the scanning lamp so I could put in some scans before I went off to work and Blinking Red Light ahoy! I've been working through things from the software standpoint, but I think my lamp actually needs to be replaced...
I have absolutely no luck with either scanners or printers.

oh well.
Well, i think this shows a lot of character. It takes a big person to apologize.
I think I'm going to enter the contest this time

Nope! It's all guilt all the time for me- thanks, vaguely Catholic upbringing!
Sometimes if I don't see someone coming to hold open a door for them in time, the guilt makes me cry on the inside!

So whose head do you have in your freezer today, GF?
