Well, I guess THAT'S where the huge icicles from the side of the house went!

Looks like I'll be calling the landlord in the morning!

I really loathe this weather change. I like autumn well enough, the changing of the leaves, Halloween, etcera. But goddamn if I don't hate the dreary days and how sluggish I get. Bleh.

So we missed Drawing last Thursday because we were at the vet office. I got the handouts from another student so we knew what to do for the homework. Well, that'dbe fine and all if...the handouts properly described how to use the technique described. It's about Mondrian Gesture but...even Google has given me nothing useful. And Piet Mondrian's own work is, well, absolutely useless for anything. I'm pretty much just saying 'fuckit' because if I miss a class and another student is unable to explain to me how to do the homework (it's a still life using the Mondrian technique) and the handouts are useless then...well, something is wrong. I should be able to get a good idea of what I need to do even if I miss a class.

I'm sure our professor will get his panties in a twist, but I truthfully don't care.

In news unrelated to school but related to art, this was linked in #furry today after a short conversation about the whole Mondrian thing I was complaining about:

I've been reduced to drawing retarded pen doodles on lined paper in class again. I don't know if I miss it or not. I do like those shrubs, however.

Koffing rat is sick. Looks like he's got a cold of some sort. All puffed up and miserable. I pulled him, Runt and Possum from the big cage of boys and put them in a seperate one. Runt is just...he's never been in the best of health. He looks almost malnourished, despite the fact I do see him eat often. He's also gone completely blind in both eyes and he's lost one of them. The problem is is that he doesn't act as if he's in pain and he's still quite alert and active. We're going to give him a bit in the cage with the other two to see if he puts on some weight, but we're willing to have him put down if need be.

One of the nude boys is going to lose the tip of his tail from the wild rat bites, as well.

D: D:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Now I remember why I was avoiding the tonypepper. Except it wasn't probably getting on my ass about Don Cheadle's skin color. It was all the goddamn prego fics. Regardless, this is about the former, surprisingly.

It started as this: http://fallenangel.furtopia.org/JUNK/TONYPEPPER_FFFFFFFFFF.png

And, y'know what? Yeah, Cheadle's skin tone is an issue. That's not how I picture Rhodey and that's not how he was presented in the first film. On top of that? He's thinner, he has a different facial structre and he knows nothing about Iron Man or War Machine at all. He was actually QUOTED as saying he thought Iron Man was just a robot. Terrance Howard is a FAN of the comics. He was EAGER to play Rhodey. If I was the exec for the film, I WOULD HAVE paid extra for Howard to stick around because he knew the material and would have stayed true to it.

Howard gets the shaft by the fans because his role was cut short in the theatrical release.

Of course, I hopped over to her journal to see what might have prompted this absurd decision that I'm obviously some kind of horrible person for thinking characters should have some consistancies in a film and found this.

You know what? No, those Oscars don't mean shit. There's dozens of BETTER actors out there who've never been 'graced' with an Oscar.

I just find this hilarious that someone is getting so up in arms over something so petty. I'm not pointing out his skin color because OH NO HE'S BLACK. I could give two shits either way about if he's fucking Asian or African-American or Caucasian. It's all the same to me. But I can only suspend my disbelief so long and inconsistencies with characters. Even moreso in comic books, you've all heard me bitch about Tony and Pepper in the Invincible Iron Man comics. It's the same damn mindset. They don't look like the characters and that's particurarly annoying when there's a set design for the character.

Same thing, except in a film.

Why is this so difficult to understand?

EDIT: UGH I AM DONE. Good god. I am wasting my breath on someone that's refusing to understand what I'm saying and, quite frankly, if someone wants to think I'm a racist over something so petty, so be it. Good lord.

ARGUING ON THE INTERNET IS LIKE RUNNING IN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS. YOU MIGHT WIN, BUT YOU'RE STILL A RETARD.

Truly. If someone thinks I'm such a horrible person over this, big deal. No skin off my back.

EDIT: We pointed out that her choice of what to critique was problematic and why. She could have said "oh, I hadn't realized my pants were down. I'll pull them up now" and moved on, but she didn't.

This is absurd. Maybe if I had made some sort of comment that I was aware was OH NOES RACIST, perhaps I would have apologized. But I'm just talking about skin color. It's just a COLOR. I'm not the one hung up on the fact that OH NO COMMENTS ABOUT SKIN TONE EQUALS RACISM. Because, uh, that's not the case at all.

Putting words in my mouth, eh?

But, hey, I figure I'm never going to be able to level with someone who pulls SO MUCH from a comment on the internet AND is some sort of I AM POWERFUL WOMAN and doesn't like rapefic/dubcon.

Oh, there's another bad person mark for me. Whoops! Guess I'm not only opressing black folks, I'm ALSO backtracking feminism and girl power by decades or some bullshit.

You know how, when you're in the middle of something and someone goes 'no, i don't like that. change it all back' and you're suddenly filled with great rage?

That's how I feel right now.

I've been talking for the last two weeks about bringing the entertainment center upstairs into the bedroom so we could have something nice and organized for all of our games and consoles and stuff. And so I could free up the two corners of the room that were just empty space.

I get the dresser that the TV was on cleaned off and everything moved around, drag the entertainment center upstairs by myself and get tready to push everything into place and start setting up the gaming systems and all on their new place and....

TJ says he doesn't want the TV in the entertainment center. How is he supposed to watch it from bed. The walls for the entertainment center are in the way.

To which I just stare, drop everything I'm holding and walk off.

I don't know why it has to be so goddamn difficult. The room will look nicer, it won't look like we're trashy with a dresser missing three drawers and crap hanging out of them everywhere. Our stuff will be organized and neat and I'm open for suggestions as to WHERE to put the entertainment center/bed because I'm cool with moving things around so we have more room.

But, of course, I just get a 'no I don't want it that way' followed by 'do whatever you want, I don't care' followed by 'my opinion doesn't matter anyhow'.

Well, I didn't get a 'eh, I don't care' whenever I try to talk to people about what I want to do with the house, this would never be an issue. God, don't blow me off in the planning stages and then get pissed because you didn't have any input. I ASKED.

Now I think I'm going to go through with it, despite the fact that I think the entertainment center might be a bit larger for the TV than I'd like. But we still have to get Rob's old TV, which will fit in pretty well, I think.

What. The fuck. Is THIS?

Fuck you, furries. And fuck you, babyfurs.

Goddamn.

There's drama at work about who's getting how much for pay raises and whatnot. I'm just sort of staying out of it because you're NOT SUPPOSED to share your wages and it's pointless to get butthurt about someone getting more than you when mouths should've just been kept shut in the first place.

We're getting our evaluations this week. I was pretty sure we were supposed to get them ever three or six months. I got my first one around my ninety days when I was offered a permanent job instead of a seasonal one. This will only be the second I've gotten while at Target. And I know NO ONE got one at their ninety days.

God, my store is so fucked up.

I cleaned and washed the rat boys and their cage today and moved their ledges around. I'm sure it won't prevent them from MAKING A HUGE FUCKING MESS, but it looks good for right now, so I guess that's good. They hate bathtime, though. Sreaming at me and trying to launch themselves out of the tub while soaking wet. There's only a few that don't mind sitting in the water and waiting. But they don't flip out too much when I wash them. They just don't want to be IN the water.

I've been feeling kinda apathetic about the interwebs lately. I haven't really been posting much or checking up on my usual websites. Just coloring shit and playing WoW.

Lazy, lazy, lazy.

We went out today (after fighting with Time Warner because they cut my service off when I don't have to pay until the 20th. someone got something wrong at some point, apparently...) to look for some fur for Loki's tail/ears at Joann Fabrics. No luck, though.

Then, we went to BW3's for foodnoms and came home.

Hurrah!

Now that I've gotten that horrible ordeal out of the way...

I told my mom about the moving thing. She's very against it. But not because she doesn't want to see me move, but because of the weather and she thinks we're doing it WAY too fast.

Well, considering once the utilities are off her, we may as well be homeless, there isn't a way to do it other than 'fast'.

She said she'd help with the bills here, even postponing getting her car/license back so we can at least wait until the weather breaks so it's safer to drive. I don't know, I don't want to have to be responsible for someone elses' fuckup, to be honest. I shouldn't have to put out money because someone else was a complete retard.

I'm going to think over it. And when we go out to wash clothes at Rob's, I'll see what his and his mothers' opinion is on it. Because his mom always has good advice.

Plus, TJ's been giving me the 'are you sure we're doing the right thing' questions and I haven't had a good answer. I really do feel we need to get out of this place, but the weather does scare the crap out of me. Especially when the car needs new brakes and we'll pretty much be driving into worse weather the farther north and west we travel.

So, we'll see. I foresee us moving, but maybe not as immediately as we planned.

---

We went over to the apartment early yesterday morning to get a bath and drop stuff off over there. Took most of the fur over and some clothes.

They cleaned out TJ's room to paint the walls and it's the worst painting job I've EVER seen. One coat of paint, paint on the ceiling, pained the lightswitch. It's atrocious. And this is by someone who's supposed to be a handyman. I know how to pain a fucking room. You mask the edges and you give it more than one piss-poor, jagged coat.

Fucking christ.

I had to 'shovel' the driveway with a TOTE before we left. A foot of snow meant TJ couldn't back the Cavieler down the driveway more than about six feet. And, because there's no shovel anywhere in the house (because, of course, it's not something a girl needs!), I had to spend swice as much time and energy removing two pathes of snow from the driveway with a plastic tote.

Ugh.

Then, we got Hot Dog Shoppe and came home to sleep.

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

Do I have a story for you!

I come home from work this morning to discover our water is off. "What's this?" I ask, confused and bewildered. Surely pipes couldn't have frozen, as they are in the garage and it hasn't been cold enough for them to freeze anyhow.

So, I call Al.

For those not familiar with our living situation, here's the short and sweet of it: We're staying in a house TJ's mother's fiancee owns. He doesn't charge us rent (because he doesn't want to pay for a rental permit or, you know, be a landlord) and really hasn't bothered us about bills. I've offered to help with the bills, but I need copies of them when they arrived and not 'OH HAY, THIS IS TWO WEEKS PAST DUE'. Al beats around the bush about doing this because, apparently, females don't know how to do anything (this has been displayed in not letting me borrow the lawnmower and other stupid things). Recently, he, apaprently, has been thinking it's a GREAT IDEA to just let the bills lapse because, since his mother passed away, he doesn't have HER extra money coming in (with which he would spend hundreds of dollars on model cars).

Al goes, "Was there a notice on the door?". I think, if there was a notice on the door about OUR WATER BEING CUT OFF, I would've given you a call, buddy.

He says he's going to call the water company.

I DON'T HEAR BACK FROM HIM. AT ALL.

I call HIM around 8PM or so and he informs me that they want $30 to turn the water back on and $100 to cover the past due balance. He goes "I don't know where I'm going to get the money, that's all I can do for now, blah blah blah.".

I RAGE.

So, we're without water. I don't even have $0.50 to my name to buy a gallon of water from Walmart so my pets will have water (because they're all out at the moment). I can't wash dishes, I can't take a bath, I can't wash my hair, I can't flush the toilet. Thank god what's left of our food doesn't need water to cook, at least.

And payday's two days away. And I'll be lucky ifI see more than $200 with the three to four days they've been giving me at work. And I really can't bring myself to take on anymore commissions because I'm already behind on them as is.

EXCITING!
