Hollywood Urchin - Dollars
Hollywood Urchin - Dollars
From vebelfetzer.
I took this in downtown Hollywood in March. This girl wanted
somewhere to change her clothes, and though I didn’t dare offer her
my hotel room, I gave her some money in exchange for photos. She is
the personification of Los Angeles castaway; a street nymph with
knobbly knees and ancient hands. Her mascara was long destroyed, and
her natural red lashes glowed through. She had some sort of white
encrustation on the corners of her mouth. She was a derelict hull,
waiting for someone to sail along and salvage her. I was half
tempted to do it myself.

Oil on rubber. I know, rubber. I’m thinking if it starts to
disintegrate, it’ll just add to the look. You can tell by the size who it’s for!
(I’m allowed to change the title as much as I want, dammit.)

Ninja’s
Let’s have a short grammar lesson about our friend, the apostrophe.
1 Ninja = Ninja.
>1 Ninja = Ninjas, or Ninja, depending on how strict you want to be about Japanese vs. English plural forms. >1 Ninja is also awesome.
If a Ninja owns something, that object is the Ninja’s.
If the Ninja is doing something or has done something, you may use a contraction like so: “That Ninja’s rubbing that pirate very briskly indeed.” In this case, “Ninja’s” replaces “Ninja is”. It can also replace “Ninja has”.*
If this were the Victorian era I would be mad at you for using contractions, but I think it’s silly to object to them these days.
Look, it’s okay. I don’t blame you, grammar wasn’t on my middle school curriculum, either. It’s all thanks to one rogue homeroom teacher that I know what I know. Lap up my wisdoms, monkeys. Writing smart goes a long way towards convincing other people that you’re intelligent, attractive, and most importantly: that your opinion is the correct one.
Do you understand this vast power I have bestowed upon you? Use it wisely.
(Who wants to bet that in my vast hubris, I have overlooked a massive grammatical, spelling, or factual error somewhere in this comment? Eh?)
* My periods are outside my quotes. I break this grammar rule consistantly and on purpose, because it’s STUPID. It’s an American thing that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

I really wish the ’series of tubes’ thing hadn’t gotten old so fast. That was fucking funny. Still is.

Random prohibited items stashed under a glass divider on the way to security at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. A very merry unbirthday, Mr. President.
Also, the baggage check-in guy hassled me for a tip. What the fuck is wrong with Orange County? Former or current residents, please explain.
Posting this from my phone. Still in line.

Our Home Forever Is: OUTER SPACE
I’m doing shots of strong-brewed Lady Grey in too much cream and Splenda while I book a flight to the godforsaken southwest with one hand and draw stuff with the other. I tell you these things because I’ve started getting little emails and IMs from humans, asking me things about stuff (thanks, actually. it’s nice.). Sooooo I think I cleared everything up, there.
And I should mention that I have an embarrassment of cupcakes just clogging up my fridge (and my lower intestines) and if you want a fresh cupcake, now is the goddamned time. You can drop by and I’ll slide one into the airlock for you. That counts as “social activity”. This last batch has cherries on top.
Big news tonight about gamedev for Windows:
Just un-embargoed:
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=10458Talking on the eve of its Gamefest event in Seattle, Microsoft has
revealed XNA Game Studio Express, a new product which will allow
indie developers and students to develop simultaneously on Xbox 360
and PC, and share their games to others in a new Xbox 360 ‘Creators
Club’.
I’ve been ordered by my editor to drag my flyblown carcass to a relevant speech on the topic, early tomorrow morning, to “cover it” like some sort of real journalist.
Jesus wept I’m busy.
And I forgot to use a tea cozy.
I keep getting spam emails about the tip of my penis being too sensitive. I thought I told you not to tell anyone about that.
“Cosmos (Outer Space)” off the new Tatu album is basically a They Might Be Giants Song sung by Russian lesbians. I really don’t think you can go wrong. It’s on my “Space and/or the Future” playlist, yes.
Zoetica is back from the Motherland, and has ticked over another year, AND has a very small present on the way. Hand-delivered by carrier pig.
And because I know that nobody reads anything without a giant photo carved into it, here’s a picture of my head. I like my green hair.
