Little update on things... I've put most of the songs back on my iPod, in fact I put in even less than the last time (last time I had a couple whole albums on: Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" and Coldplay's "X&Y", both of which I got from the public library. At least they were free!). But somehow despite the fact that I don't have all my fav songs on, I'm almost out of room this time. What the heck? That's one reason I'm still upset, the other being I tried to sell some of my old childhood books that I don't have any nostalgic attachment to (as well as one CD I don't like anymore and a cheapo DVD I bought at Walgreens a couple years ago on a whim), but Half-Price Books said the books weren't in good enough condition. What the crap? They looked fine to me. Fuck my life. Bad stuff like this happens to me all the time, but now I don't even have the comfort of knowing that in a week or so I could go see Robin Williams live and then get a hug afterwards... but not now! He's on tour and I'm so glad he's all right... but now I'm also depressed because he has a girlfriend now! [link] And she's prettier than me too! I mean, I never seriously thought I had a chance... but come on, Robin, at least show that you wouldn't turn down an "ugly" girl like me! Oh jeez, am I getting unintentionally creepy again? I think so... moving on.

I'm still working on drawings. I also plan on doing some base edits for the hell of it. I'm gonna put my Christmas list up soon. I have only three things on it, really:
1. Spongebob "Truth Or Square" on DVD.
2. World's Greatest Dad on DVD (I'll be sure to put some screengrabs on my LJ... )
3. SKETCHBOOKS! LOTS OF THEM!

There will be a few problems if I get all of these. For one thing, if I get the DVDs, well, all my Robin Williams tapes/DVDs are as of now lined up in chronological order on two full shelves. If I get these two... I'm gonna have to remove some stuff from the next shelf, and then my neat little collection will spill out onto an unrelated shelf. And that kinda bugs me. Sheesh, am I turning into Adrian Monk or what?

Secondly, I don't have a lot of room in my room anyway, so I don't know where I'm gonna put the sketchbooks. I've kept the ones I've been using recently on a chair next to my computer. I really need a real place for them.

Still have been working on my next Family Guy fic. I realize I need to research a few things for it... like how to make a mix tape. I actually Googled "how to make a mix tape", but all I got was advice on how to put really good songs on it and stuff. I need an actual how-to, because I've never made one (and I don't think my house has the equipment to make one anyway!). Still, I try to get some stuff in at least once a day, and if I get stuck on one part, I can always come back to it (like my last one). I sometimes worry that I'm getting a little TOO dramatic (especially in the later fics I have planned out), so I try and keep a good balance of plot and jokes, like the older episodes. Another problem is that since I've already written stuff out as summaries so I won't forget what to write, but now I kinda feel like I've gotten these out of my system and I'm already thinking up different plots for other things already! My mind moves fast! But I'm still gonna focus on finishing this stuff... unless of course I get a REAL writing job in the meantime (yeah right!)

I just took a better screengrab of that stupid "orphaned DVD" scene from the FG episode "Brian's Got A Brand New Bag". I got it from the iTunes preview (no way in hell am I buying it though):

God, that's probably the worst drawing of Robin Williams I've ever seen. I've been wondering for a while if their animation budget was cut or something, because I've read they've been using a lot more live-action inserts and stuff... or maybe they just blew the budget on that "Disney" scene from "Road To The Multiverse". Yeah, that's probably more likely.
Once I get my new sketchbooks, I should do a series of Robin and Meg commiserating with each other over how crappy they get treated (although Meg, being an actual character on the show, would remind him that she has it worse). Man, here I am pairing a celebrity with a fictional character... what the hell, the show does it all the time! I just rewatched "The Perfect Castaway" and one cutaway had Meg dating the announcer from Superfriends. Yep, she's definitely got an eclectic taste in men, that's for sure!


Mr. Weaver <3 Meg 4-EVAR! (LOL fanfic shipping... well SOMEONE'S gotta give Meg a break!)
