As some of you may have seen on Twitter, since I woke up today with a bad back, I have had trouble sitting at my desk. So I kinda sorta went overboard in the kitchen today.
I made miniature beef wellingtons. Yeah, I'm nutters.
Really.
( The recipe for those interested...rather easy and oh so yum. )

The Sketchblog has been updated, including an omnibus post of the MSNBC!Crack, and a speedpaint of DC Comics's character The Question.

The post also includes a new version of the Quackitude toss, as requested by some folks on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) ontd_political, which is easily edited so the idiot of your choice can suffer ducky wrath.
( Finnnnnnne, I'll post it here too. )

Disadvantage #431 of being a fanartist instead of a fanficcer: when lurking in a fandom, disguising/not having people connect your writing style is a hella lot easier than disguising your drawing style. I'm just saying. There's been too many fandoms I have just ended up skimming through because I couldn't decide if admitting to liking them would be too embarrassing. I mean, Doctor Who is possibly the only live action fandom that I've draw for just because of that reason. Though if some people have their way, it looks like it won't be my last.
:p
Or maybe I just need to stop being embarrassed by everything.
....I guess I owe you people kittens, don't I?

Continuing on this crack vein I seem to have tapped in my brain (and thoroughly fueled by quite a few of you DO NOT LIE, I see you there with your mental projection helmets), I present to you a very awkward interview on the Rachel Maddow set:
(As to if Maddow is also the Doctor is up to you- for all it could be he's filling in for Bill Nye the Science Guy)
However, I'm refusing to draw the rest of the crack my brain came up with (....which may have involved Rose and Keith talking about the tabloids while painting their nails in another room...) because that's just...horrific. And should never be drawn. Ever. (or without alcohol...)
Sorry, maybe I'm just nervous over them reorganizing my department and cutting back my coworkers' hours....or perhaps the lidocaine and aloe vera spray on my sunburn is making me more insane than usual. But yeah. I'm insane.
If this spawns crack drabbles in the comments (again) I will bring out the kittens.

Voluntarily had myself whacked by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ginamak (and several others, who will be happily added as the time comes....)
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
1. Why am I not surprised at ALL that you picked this icon, Gina? After all, it's so completely the fault of you and Michele I am addicted to Rachel and Keith's shows, and when Michele used a Donna icon for a Countdown post? Well, it was inevitable my cracky brain WOULD GO THERE. At least, Michele was nice enough to take the subsequent art and make it into an icon.
I still would totally pay good money/arts/my first born for that fic. Really. Want a full color masterpiece of your child conquering the world? The Doctor in birthday suit glory? Keith Olbermann flinging loofahs at Bill O'Reilly? WRITE ME THAT FIC.
Just sayin'.
2. This icon is proof that the Japanese are just so much awesome that we can ever hope for. They can make a video game about Lawyers, make it hilariously amazing crack, then use the game to create an Opera performed by an all female Takarazuka troup. That includes dance numbers for the "demon prosecutor". The icon is the closest I have seen to encompass that awesomeness.
3. Leave it to Rimmer to come up with the most brilliant and simplest solutions to fandom's stupidity. Red Dwarf, how I love thee; smoke me a kipper.
4. This is one of those icons where I keep trying to find the original source, because whoever made this? Is utter brilliance. No matter how serious and wanky a discussion, you whip this baby out, and people stop and giggle. Because not only is the Batman, Briscoe, and McCoy THAT AWESOME, you know you'd totally watch that series if it existed. And the "bom bom" never. gets. old.
5. Aaaaaah, the petite hedgehog. She is NOTORIOUSLY bad at staying still, and with my crappy digital camera, I assumed I would never have a proper shot to glorify her with. But in true diva fashion, she, on finding the perfect spot to pose on our red couch, stopped for a moment. Needless to say, it was immediately iconned for all future Wiki/hedgie posts.
6. Jimmy has very good tastes. Everyone has one of those days, when you think everything is going great, and then you end up making a dork out of yourself. This is the icon for those moments. I'm still amazed Mich managed to truly capture the mood in the animation- I think I like the icon better than the original drawing. :D

Back from my annual "You're bringing HOW MANY PEOPLE to the house?!?" weekend bash, and we had a load of fun. (I will have to post some of the pictures- we made a cow mascot who ended up doing Thriller, go swimming and produce Sangria. HEHEHE)
However, I managed to burn myself to a crisp, and am now suffering from a lovely bout of sun poisoning- praying the porcelain goddess and having a temperature of 100.4 (Ooh, I should try and write fic- it worked so well last time....)

Just when the news had gotten just a bit too depressing to watch, the tv rewards me with Governor's Mark Sanford's emails (containing sonnets to his lover's tan lines) being read in a Rico Suave voice, with new age music playing in the background.
I bruised my tailbone falling out of my chair. Ow.
Sorry, I just don't feel particularly interesting at the moment. The 17 straight days of rain have gotten to me.

So I'm still a bit wound up from this weekend, and thus I am posting at 2:30 in the morning, but I thought I'd share a picture with ginamak and ivydoor.
Sadly, he wasn't in, so don't complain about me not shipping him off immediately to Chicago or Maryland. :p

Ok, remember that photo meme? I finally managed to take some quick snaps to fufill it as I was squeeing over the new bookcases.
So, people asked me for photos of where I draw, something Adam Ant, and of course, Wiki!
( Too bad the snot doesn't stay still... )
( And now, my IKEA'd apartment! )

You know it's a fun day at work when you're arguing if whales have baculums (they don't). Ah, science museums, you are a source of entertainment for even your employees.
Also, did you know you can fit three people and a 6' x 6' bookcase, and a 5'x 2.5 bookcase, and a kitchen island all in a Honda Fit and NOT die a horrid death? (It requires the driver to yell whenever there's a right turn so the other two can brace the boxes, thus ensuring the gear shaft isn't hit). Yeah, the apartment finally looks lived-in now, after only....three years. ;p

The Sketchblog has begun! I now have a place just for my drawings and ficlet ideas.
http://jesidres.dreamwidth.org/
I will occasionally link to stuff in here, but this is a way to dedicate myself to trying to work on my art and my ideas without feeling like I'm boring some of you folks.
Steampunk is way too fun when you own the Harper's Bazaar Victorian women's catalog. Roxy's beaten me to putting the Whos in steampunk clothing... hmmmmmmm......

| » Don't make me sue your butt. |
|---|
I've updated my user page with a DMCA notice, as this newest case involving Roxy and myself is now the....6th time I've had my artwork taken uncredited or made into an icon without my permission.
This is why we can't have nice things, people.
Yes, most of the artwork I post is fanart, but I still hold creative copyright over the image itself. Thankfully, I've got such a distinctive style it's not very hard to spot my art from a mile off, but sadly, it doesn't stop people from trying.
That being said, there are at the moment three people who DO have my permission to take my artwork and create icons out of it, even still, we both MUST be credited in the icon comments.
*sigh*
At least now the DMCA letter is sent off, and if anything more pops up, people will hopefully let me know. Otherwise I will be having to slap giant watermarks on everything and that's no fun.
Anyways, I'm now considering using my idle Dreamwidth account as my sketchblog. Y/N?

I did it...I really, actually sent the picture to Rachel Maddow. (Or at least, emailed it to the email address listed on her show's website.)
MICHELE, GINA, WHAT DID YOU JUST MAKE ME DO?! If I end up on 'Worst Persons', I will so blame you.
Anyways, I didn't finish anymore of the comics today, but I will leave you with Oreillyos:
"FARK-IT-WE-DO-IT-LIVE"
And ivydoor, I now want someone to put Glen Beck's voice to Dalek Caan footage. YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.
I will post the cease and desist letter as soon as I receive it. O_O

Alright. I did it.
I colored the crack.
( Rachel Maddow is the Doctor. Keith Olbermann is... distracted by a kitten )
I am in the midst of drawing O'Reillros being beaten back by lobbed loofahs and paintballs... Who else do you see them running into?
What adventures will they have?
Will Keith ever not be distracted by a kitty?
Should I give into Gina and vaguely wave it in Rachel Maddow's general direction?

(And evil, evil ideas implanted in my head by ivydoor, snapesgirl34, countrygirl_914, ginamak....)
( I present to you a horrible, cracktastic (yet plausible) idea for a possible future Doctor (and surly companion) )
But now my brain is not letting this die- Would Shuster be K-9? Joel McHale as Captain Jack?

I....whoa.
Apparently I was quite sick last night, because trying to read my own comments is like trying to read gibberish. Damn these eyes of mine (and fingers). I apologize to anyone who had to read them. REALLY.
Makes me wish they caught on to the whole "dyslexia" thing in my family BEFORE I went off to college. But then I might have ended up a boring economics major.
(My mother also is now pushing me to get tested for ADHD. Seeing as I'm 27, and have enough syndromes attached to my medical file, I don't see the point.)

Aw, foo. The one thing I was looking forward to with this whole silly contest thing was a in-depth review. Guess they just didn't have time.
Ah, well. Back to figuring out why Wiki has been so grumpy the last two days. It may just be the construction noise, but she balled on me last night. Friendliest hedgie ever, and see BALLED. *HARUMPH*
(It gave me a round of nightmares, including a few inspired by Dexter's plight. Oiiii)

1. Comment to this post with absolutely anything that you want to see of my real life.
2. I will post photographs of the requested items/people/places.
Distract me from the incoming wank storm of the new companion being announced. This is not going to end well.
