Roslin's Remix

Mon Mar 16, 2009, 6:00 PM
Ah, it's that time of year again: when you look outside, see the sun shining brightly and your hopes soar, then you notice the Dumpster is still firmly iced to your parking spot and the snowplows have just created a new retaining wall between you and the crosswalk. That's right- it's spring!!

With spring comes my birthday, which I usually don't like to think about since it normally means reviewing everything I meant to do but haven't. But this year is different- this year when I wrote my birthday list for family and friends, I sat there and agonized and finally cranked out a few material desires (including a copy of the original Fellowship of the Ring poster which Scout ate- she's lucky she's cute).

This year, I have everything I want. If the best I can do on a birthday wishlist (which has in the past included things like a DeLorean or the guys from Rammstein) is ask for a $6 poster or a DVD, I think I'm doing pretty well. :)

Okay, this is where I gush about my baby girl, Roslin! Uh, not a human baby- I'm not really into those- she is my three-month-old Gray-headed (or Un-Cape) parrot. First off- she's brilliant. I've helped raise a number of different parrot species and I've never seen smarts like hers before. It's kind of scary. I'm going to need an arsenal of challenging toys and constant supply of new things to train her to do as she grows. She'll step up and down already, is learning to come when called and was merely bemused when I tried a harness on her. She recognizes her name. She's a terrific flier for her age. And so far, nothing scares her except the sort of things that should, like loud noises and Timid.

To be honest, she is a daunting creature. I expected her to be intelligent, but not like this. My experience prepared me for a rapid learning curve- she has wreaked havoc on my expectations. I've had to add a whole 'nother level to my experience to accomedate her. She's absolutely unreal.

So, if you're still reading this, here's the art scoop- I have been drawing. I just haven't been scanning anything. I bought a new laptop in October and it came with Windows Vista. *shakes fist* I am NOT a computer person, I am the incarnation of Computer Murphy's Law. My first attempt to install updated drivers for my scanner, tablet and camera software ended in my brother re-installing Windows for me. Now I'm too scared to try installing anything until all my papers have been written and handed in (and graded, just to be safe). So until my rivetting works on edge effect related to species density in the North Saskatchewan River valley and cryptobiosis in Tardigrada come back to me with red pen all over them, I can't upload anything.

That'll be early April. I can't wait! :D

Til then, watch for Roslin's baby pictures, taken by her breeder!

Hey, I'm planning to create an entry for *Comicslist's stamp contest. For this stamp, I'd very much like to use extracts from comics that are actually on the list. Would it be alright with you if I included a bit or two from your comic(s) for this? Credits will be given, of course. =)

Stalked you over from your FF.net profile. :mwahaha: You'd better update your SW fanfiction, it's spectacularly written.

Flipped through your gallery and saw your comic; the art style threw me off for a bit, but I ended up really enjoying it. The panel composition and coloring are great! :love:

:lmao: Lol, Uni... the pain, the epic pain. Math = the devil itself.
Wow! Thanks for the fave ^^

Metrosexuals are very common in my country, Portugal. Maybe even too much common. LOL!
