petz
Petz is a weird game from the early 2000s that has to do with virtual pets. My roommate had the Sims and we started talking about old games like that (ZOO TYCOON) so I tried to find one and this is what I got. So far I have only been getting cats but there are dogs, and strange things you can download like birds and fish.
The game was made so you can only have 2 pets on the screen at once, but...

Nothing better to do after reading about puritans learning the alphabet. Actually the reading was not bad at all, I just put it off for too long and uhghhh is it 11 already?

lots of orange
More color scheme doodles
A tin of hamsters… what will the bodiless white glove do with them? I have a candy thing on my desk like this. It looks like it could really fit about 5 hamsters, not that we can have pets.
And evil snake lord. An RO monster, what a surprise. I like to draw this one but I always forget something…
Should I be doing reading for class? of course

kuler mess
Kuler is an Adobe thing that has color schemes.
Some randomized ones are hard to use… many people are fond of sewage greens…
I was bored and catching up on crime shows while I did these. CSI had some pretty wacky cases with clowns and electric chairs, etc. But stupid random cases are why I watch those kinds of shows… there will be no CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and DEEP...

burn it all
It rained after snowing today. It was only mildly cold but the ground was all slush and ice and it was disgusting. I wandered around looking for a building that I used to see every day and got soaked. Also realized that there’s a compsci class I hadn’t seen before but it’s full already. Uhhh huh.
There’s a lot to do this year, and this is the most promising of starts.

We have a new roommate. She’s nice like everyone else, but is several years older and has been working management level positions for a few years instead of going to...

I can’t really mangle out whether the zodiac organization always been wrong, or if things got more messed up over time or both or why it’s suddenly a big deal. I guess scientifically something should be right. But if you are looking at it scientifically then you wouldn’t care about your...
graphics
I found a book about graphic design in my grandma’s house. That book is older than I am. I’m not really sure what graphic designers these days learn but this book was full of crazy things involving knives and spraypaint and taping acetate to computer monitors.
The only computer program mentioned in the book was Adobe Illustrator 88, where 88 stands for 1988… yeah. It looked...
