Work can do a number on me, and it's been nothing but work for the past week. With one register in Music down on the busiest days of the year, it's been even more stressful. And I have my ups and downs like anyone. After playing Apples to Apples with my (slightly drunken) roommates and their friends, eating s'mores (thanks Mom & Dad) and getting a good night's sleep, I feel 100% better.
Interestingly enough, the song I posted in the last entry is both coincidence - we'd just been watching Willy Wonka - and somewhat my own thoughts on the topic of depression. Not that I think I'm depressed, of course, but I've never been much for the concept of medication. For me it's remembering that what I have in life is great - health, friends, family, security and tons of love from all angles. And on top of that, the world is (still!) wide open for me and I've got the ability to do just about anything I want.
For now, though, I'm gonna balance my checkbook, fold my laundry, and make some sausage balls for the potluck at work. We've only got a half day, though I'm putting in eight hours. Someone's gotta make that holiday pay!
Tomorrow, gifts with friends and probably three movies in a row in the morning. I want to see Sherlock Holmes so bad.

First step seems to involve learning how to make naan in the first place. Google/wikihow has suggestions, but I don't necessarily trust them. Is there anyone on my friends list who knows how to make naan and would like to have a baking experimentation day sometime? I would probably be willing to provide ingredients and music and sous-chefery. Actually, I will certainly be willing to provide music and sous-chefery, and ingredients if I have enough warning to search proper for them, and of course, bring the SCIENCE! to the experimentation. Orsomething.
(Damned if I can still remember the scientific method. Hypothesis: Bananaan is delicious?)
Early reports indicating that I only used this post in order to further proliferate the just-now-invented term "bananaan" are definitely not true. Definitely not. Tell your friends!

(Neener, neener DarkEric, I made the post longer anyways!)
ecstaticAvatar is absolutely worth checking out in theatres. It's a visually stunning film that breezes past the "Uncanny Valley" effect in a way that I'm still trying to process. The world is fully realized and jaw dropping, the characters are substantial and never feel detached from their surroundings and the detail holds up to 6 story high Imax scrutiny with ease. It's absolutely clear that although this movie broke the bank in terms of budget, it's all up there on the screen. It's world building, through and through. The directing is brilliant, utilizing the 3D effect as a way to bring us fully into a place instead of firing out lots of spatial depth "gotcha's" as a gimmick. The visuals are encompassing and detailed without ever getting cluttered or unfocused.
The story, on the other hand, is so bland and straight forward as to be almost unmentionable. It's a Frankenstein monster stitched together from every "White Guy Becomes One With the Natives, but Teaches Them a Bunch of Shit Too" and "Nature Spirit Knows Best" story you've ever seen before. There are absolutely no story surprises and every single character fits into their rigidly defined archetype without fail. Stacy and I agree that given the budget involved every single compromise likely came from the story department, making the film obvious as a way to ensure the widest appeal across as broad demographic as possible. It's unfortunate that so much money went into its look without engaging a similar complexity in its story and characters.
I kept wanting to dislike Avatar when the dialogue came out in cliche gobs without any subtlety at all, but the richness of the world and the intensity of its vision kept me interested and engaged even when I didn't really feel like I should be. I'm a huge story prick and the eye popping visuals and texture of it carried me past 1 dimensional characterization that would normally be a game breaker for me.
Avatar is a technical milestone. You should go see it. Absolutely realistic fully formed digital characters are now a reality.
A Rather Important Client ™ asked me to do a Holiday Card for them. Something that would go to every studio head in Hollywood, amongst 750 others.
Here are six ideas I sent along. Guess which one they chose? Answer tomorrow (unless you keep up with my Facebook or Twitter accounts, in which case you already know the answer…)
Idea the First
Idea the Second
Idea the Third: the lamest, IMHO
Idea the Fourth: The sickest.
Idea the Fifth: the Weirdest (to me, anyway)
Idea the Sixth: OK, now we’re gettin’ OBSCURE…

There was a span of about a week somewhere in the last few months where I felt very solidly like a boy, and it made life a little weird, because it felt dysphoric and such, as it does.
The past couple days I have felt very solidly like a girl, and it has felt just as dysphoric and such. As it does?
ETA: I guess this just means "genderneutral" really is the best term for me. Lemme disclaim that with saying that I really don't mind he or she in general -I may have specific moods where one feels wrong, but without solidly being the other, I refuse to fault you for that.

At 4.00pm we had an all users email at work telling us all to go home because the snow was starting to fall quite heavily. Annoyingly I had som lab bits to finish off before leaving, but left just after 4.30pm. By this time reports of really bad snow East of Andover were starting to come in, including from a colleague's fiance who had taken almost three hours to drive six miles into Basingstoke. Said colleague is hence staying with us tonight, not wanting to brave the ungritted roads between Basingstoke and Reading. The roads from work to home were by and large not too bad - well gritted, and though snow was settling it wasn't icy. People wre driving sensibly slowly, so it took us a while to get home but we did so safely. The only really hairy bit was the two steep hills on the last few miles into Ludgershall - cars were turning round and going back rather than risk the hill, but seeing as the only other roads into Ludgershall involve country lanes I thought I'd best plow on. It turned out to be not too bad provided I took it slowly and steadily, and thankfully didn't have to stop on the slopes. A bus was looking a little uncertain at the dip in between the two hills but he managed to make it up with no problems.
I'm off now until Christmas! Once more I have managed to book holidays during what will probably turn out to be a no-go work day due to the snow. I've been hearing from colleagues in Basingstoke who had to adandon cars and walk the last few miles home, so I'm very glad that the roads weren't too bad round here.
I really want to get out and build a snowman in the garden and take photos of all the prettiness! Here's hoping it hasn't melted by morning. :)

At some point in my life, I'm going to write a really *really* long livejournal post about gender dysphoria, drag, physical insecurity, and poly as they apply to dancing.
Now is probably not that point.
There is not a consistency to why, nor is there a definite that such a thing will occur, but every once in a while, as my mind travels less savoury paths, I have the urge to apply scissors to my hair --a form of self-destruction, I suppose.

"Do you want to abandoned these scores or report them?"
This is SUCH an unfair question. Because you don't know what your score IS until you answer it. Did you do well? Did you do poorly? Could you have done better? You don't ACTUALLY know. But you still have to answer.
There were a few questions I thought I could do better on, but...
Fuggit. Balls to the wall. Besides, there's no room in my schedule to take it again and still get in for Fall Term.
It asked me to confirm and I clicked it as quickly as I could.
My score popped up on the screen.
I admit, I cried a little. Well, my eyes teared up. It took work to keep things there, though.
Verbal: 780/800
Quantitative: 720/800
The Essays haven't been graded yet, because they have to be sent in to human graders, but I'm confident.
Now I just need to concentrate on applications for a few days and things will be out of my hands until... summer.
In related news, the state of OH decided to continue subsidizing my job search until about April.
Life... she is not too bad just about now.

With my costume I had an overall win with four people knowing I was Link, and only two thinking I was an elf. :) I'm pretty pleased. One geeky guy proceeded to talk to me about other obscure costumes he was proud of recognising (Rorschach, Hitman) which was quite nice, if a little bizarre.
Still deciding if I'm going to be making mince pies tonight or if I'm just going to sit and watch TV and have a much deserved glass of something cold (finally).

Look! Look! An actual Big Announcement (t)!
As of this coming Monday, Dec 21, Dork Tower will be running here and at the Wired.com blog, GeekDad!
Here’s the announcement from GeekDad editor Ken Denmead:
**************************
It still amazes me when cool stuff like this happens to us, but I’m not one to look a gift-muskrat in the mouth. Starting this Monday, December 21st , GeekDad will be happy (nay, ecstatic!) to start presenting the thrice-weekly geeky comic joy that is Dork Tower, by John Kovalic
If you know of Dork Tower, then you’re already squee-ing in excitement right alongside us. If you don’t know what Dork Tower is, then either you’re about to add a new layer of happiness to the Photoshop composite of your life, or you’re slowly beginning to realize you didn’t click through to the Monkey Bites blog.
From the official Dork Tower website:
DORK TOWER is for anybody who’s ever been burned being an early adapter; who have more Twitter tweets than actual Twitter followers; who’s ever gone to a Star Trek convention; who’s ever played Dungeons and Dragons; who suspects Anime is more than just a passing fad; and who’s been fragged by a Gravity Hammer in Halo III – or anyone who KNOWS one of these people. But it’s REALLY for people who know what the hip social networking du jour site is; who has bookmarked thinkgeek.com; who’s memorized every lyric to Jonathan Coulton’s ouvre; who’s cataloged which Classic Trek episodes involved the Prime Directive; and who knows the names of six people and a cat that make regular appearances in Wil Wheaton’s blog. And, of course, it’s for people who know that HAN SHOT FIRST!
DORK TOWER the multi-award-winning story of Matt, Igor, Ken, Carson the Muskrat (yes, he’s a muskrat) and Gilly, the Perky Goth. They’re trapped in a world they never made… but are nevertheless striving to create a realistic yet playable simulation thereof! Dork Tower has, in its decade of life, existed as a stand-alone comic book, a featured comic in Dragon, Scrye and Games magazines, and one of the earliest regular web-comics online. Its creator, John Kovalic, is also the illustrator and co-creator of world-renown games Munchkin and Apples to Apples. But perhaps his greatest creation is his new daughter, whose existence has transformed him from a simple, Bruce Banner-like comics and game illustrator, into a hulking green(bay) GeekDad. Which is where we come in.
So please, let’s all extend John a warm (but slightly clammy) welcome to the GeekDad community, and thank him profusely for sharing Dork Tower with us, so we can help share it with the world!
**************************
GeekDad gets around a million and a half page views per month – that’s THREE FULL WHEATONS, folks! – and about a million unique visitors.
What does this mean for DorkTower.com? Well, lots of good stuff. While web goddess Cat and I sharpen the look and speed of the site, if anything goes wrong, you can always catch the Monday/Wednesday/Friday Dork Towers at 9 am, CST, on GeekDad!. The archives will remain here, and the new comics will continue to run here. The Archives – through a redesign of the site – will become easier to use and navigate through.
It also means that, from time to time, I’ll be doing more than just running the day’s cartoons at GeekDad…I’ll also be coming up with some specific cartoons directed at the Wired/GeekDad audience. Plus, Ken and I have one or two Sekrit Projekts which are still in the planning stages, yet which are very, very kewl.
But for the moment, I’m just thrilled to be associated with Wired.com, the GeekDad blog, and the folks at GeekDad in particular
My name is John, and I’m a GeekDad!

babymonkey trailing behind me like the very sleepy tail of a comet.Drove a fair portion of the day to get to Lebanon, NH, braved the cold again to walk into the ETS office EXACTLY one-hour before my time-slot.
I announced myself at the front desk, there was a clatter of keys, and I was told that I wasn't scheduled until tomorrow.
No, I told her, you are mistaken. I'm scheduled for today. Thursday, December 18th.
No, I was told in response, YOU are mistaken. You are scheduled for tomorrow. FRIDAY, December 18th.
I checked a calendar and retreated, chagrined.
babymonkey has been very understanding about the whole thing, never once playing me for waking her early and sticking her in a car for 5-6 hours for no purpose. She even held her mirth in check until I admitted that yes, okay, it might actually be funny now.On the plus side, we now know EXACTLY how to get to the place and PRECISELY where to park. "Getting there" was just the last part of the testing process I hadn't studied for. Now it's checked off my list and I will sleep easy tonight.
Which is a damn good thing, because I have to be up at 7:00 *AGAIN* tomorrow to do it all again. :-D

Here’s a great little stocking stuffer you can make yourself. My 4 year old played a game similar to this* at grandma’s over Thanksgiving, and loved it, so I thought a pocket version would be a great little ‘handmade’ Christmas gift. I’ve included (almost) everything you need to make one for yourself as free downloads! Just grab the file, print, and add your own Altoids tin for a cute little gift that fits perfectly in a stocking! This freebie is a present for you, my readers, because if I didn’t have you, there wouldn’t be much point to this.
You can make 2 different games with this set, both a “Treasure Hunt” game like the one The Boy liked so much (explained below), and also a “Memory” game (your standard Concentration type card matching game).
The free download set includes 3 sheets of cards (60 cards in all — yup, 60 original Dot drawings! I think I’m insane.), instruction sheets, and labels perfectly sized for sticking on the top of an Altoids tin.
Wanna see what you get? Click on a pic below to view larger or as a slideshow.
To play the Treasure Hunt game:
Lay squares out in a 5×5 or 6×6 grid–or whatever size you want. One player hides a dime or other small marker under one of the squares. Remaining players try to guess which square by asking questions, and all squares not matching the answer are removed from the grid. (Example: “Does it fly?” If the answer is No, then all flying things are removed from the grid. If Yes, then all things that DON’T fly are removed.) Players take turns until the marker is found. Winner gets to hide the marker for the next round.
*I have no idea of the name, but it was more complex than this… this is a simplified version suitable for small ones.
Enjoy!
PS… I did spend WAY too much time doing this, so if you like it, I’d love a blog link, a tweet, a stumbled or a facebook or whatever to this post, to share the love

In Math, I was... less than pleased. 610, meaning that only 46% of test takers did worse than I did.
On the positive side, I'm not trying to get into a grad school on my scientific or mathematical credentials.
Verbal... 740. Out of 800. 99% of test takers scored lower.
I am no longer worrying myself sick about my Vocabulary review.
Getting up in time for the car ferry tomorrow, on the other hand? TERRIFIED.
Today we have another lovely guest poster here on Dabbled, Kelly from Tresijas! I discovered Kelly through some of the really cool creations she had posted in the Dabbled Flickr group–especially her vinyl record creations–, and I asked her if she’d honor us with a tutorial. And she agreed, so here it is… Enjoy!
How to: Make A Bracelet from Vinyl Record
List of materials:
Toaster oven with tray
An old pair of scissors
stretchy gloves (to protect from heat)
record album
low grit sand paper
bracelet mandrel or other cylindrical object (a soda can or skinny glass bottle will work too)
Most of these items can be found at a second hand store. I usually work with 45’s because they are often times the most abused/non-playing. I try not to harm a record that cans till be enjoyed for its original purpose.
Instructions:
[Note, see photos following instructions for a visual perspective]
1. Heat toaster oven to about 150-200 degrees.
2. Since all ovens are different, take some time to get to know yours. Place the record in the oven for a minute or two, if the record doesn’t “relax” (see photo) turn the heat up slightly every few minutes until it does. If the record starts to melt or have a strong odor, the temp is too high.
3. Once the record relaxes, put your gloves on, have your scissors ready, then remove it from the oven. Quickly cut about a 5 1/2 inch strip from the record. The album will cool fairly quickly, but never fear because the beauty of vinyl is that it can be reheated. If you want to trim a little from your strip simply place it back in the oven and repeat steps 1-3.
4. Once you have cut the strip to your satisfaction, use the sand paper to take off any sharp edges. It helps to wet the sandpaper first.
5. Place the strip back in the toaster and wait for it to relax. Have your mandrel ready.
6. Once the strip is ready, with gloves on, remove it and quickly wrap it around your mandrel. Hold it there until it cools (about 15 seconds)
Voila! You have a new bracelet! Remember, if it doesn’t fit the way that you like, just reheat and form it again. Have fun and experiment, the possibilities are virtually limitless with this material.

About Kelly:
I’m a 35 year old, stay at home mom of 3 girls. My husband is from Argentina so we spend a lot of time in South America. The handmade culture is booming there and has had a tremendous influence on my own work. I started beading about 10 years ago, but quickly realized that although I enjoyed working with beads, I was beginning to look for another hobby that was less time consuming and that my young children would be less likely to throw all over the floor.
One day I was watching Reading Rainbow with one of my girls and saw a segment about a man that made unique record bowls on a vacuum form. I thought that it was a very creative idea. A few weeks later I found some red and yellow record albums at the thrift store and felt compelled to buy them to experiment with. My first creations were rough to say the least, but slowly but surely I became very comfortable working with vinyl. The rest, as they say, is history.Even though I love my record creations I never stop looking for new materials to work with. Last year I started using wood salvaged from burn piles and this year I began experimenting with paper mache. Any project using recycled and readily available materials makes me smile! My kids also have their own Etsy shop where they sell their artwork. It’s very important for me to include them in the creative process and they inspire me every day.

Hi there, fellow crafty bloggers!
No, this isn’t Dot writing, it’s Fanie from Art vs Craft.net!
While she’s away, I managed to sneak into her blog and give you a freebie! 
Since we’re all busy shopping around, I guessed some of us could use some extra tags for presents. So I made a cute cat Christmas gift tag for you!
I made this easy, all you have to do is to click on the image or click here to start the download.
It’s a A4 letter size, in PDF format, with 6 Christmas tags on them.
Happy Holidays!
If you liked this freebie, feel free to let me know via the comments on my blog.
(If you can’t download it, you may want to go to the Adobe Reader website to get the free software download.)

When the game first launched a bunch of people seemed miffed at the lack of, well, Zork-ness in the whole thing. I received a lot of compliments on the art but quite a few people I talked to mentioned they were disappointed that the gameplay didn't feel like the Zork they knew and loved. It didn't have whimsical descriptions or puzzles, just a grind-centric battle interface with loot, moving from place to place and bashing things.
8 months later and it's now quite robust with actual story quests and puzzles, silly descriptions, a vastly improved interface and a much better sense of progression and things to do. Looking at the rankings, there are now over 117,000 characters created and a variety of groups and guilds playing together in 9 different languages. It's still a casual focused browser game but there's now a much greater sense of strategy and storytelling involved.
The crew and I have done 4 art updates (with the latest artwork just finished last week, so hopefully that will work its way into the active game very soon) and Jolt/Activision seem really happy with its growth and progress. As soon as that new art is live I'll start posting pieces up.
If you haven't seen the previous Zork designs I contributed to the project, you can check them out right HERE.
I spent most of the morning drawing about 60 little pictures that are part of a great little stocking stuffer game I’ll be posting a ‘how-to’ for in the next few days. Here’s a little preview of some of the drawings… I was pretty impressed with my marathon 6 hour session — I really DID have other things I should have been doing today!
Free Shipping Ends Tonight
A reminder: Free Shipping on Prints ends tonight! If you have been wanting one of Nancy’s art prints for a Christmas gift, grab it now…. Details on the free shipping offer here.
More Truly Shameless Promotion..
