As the clouds move in

Been at project work all day... while listening to internet radio. While my own music playlist would take maybe a month to listen through, I do get tired of my own music... I find constant news chatter is the best company for long-haul projects, unless you need to write prose.

List of company on long-haul projects, any time of day or night
ABC Newsradio, great news & bits from NPR / BBC but the news update every 15 minutes gets annoying...
While ABC Melbourne 774 has a bit more local flair & some great presenters. The graveyard shift guys are funny as...
BUT! When I get sick of my own country's constant cycles of news stories, I move abroad:
BBC World Service (UK)
NPR News (USA)
Radio Canada International (CAN)
Deutsche Welle (GER) who do the afternoon news here on SBS...
Great thing about the English language is it's everywhere. So if you need droning newsvoices with constant, interesting conversation to keep you company, why not try some completely far-away country's English language service news for a change?

Also can't help but notice what with 8 hours of news propping me up but:

Sometimes you just realise what a long, long way you have to go. *sigh*

Garfield Frame Randomizer

Either one's been around for a few years, I heard about it originally over here: The Comic Strip Doctor on Garfield (Feb 2006)

Good reason as to why it's so funny to read. Kind of the reason why YGA is fun, too. :>

Self-righteous Suicide

Hmm man. With the turn in cool weather I thought I'd be doing tons of art shiznit... but I haven't felt like anything. It's funny how when you finish some pictures you feel like "Yeah that's right", everything is sweet and you can't wait to chillax basking in the glory of your upleveled skillzors.
And others you feel all empty inside, like it just took a whole lot out of you just to colour & polish off that biatch and then... nothing.

Times like this you pray to the gods of the Internet for some pointless, timewastingly hilarious youtube video or image edit or obscure historical event to keep you occupied until sleep. And the internet shall always provide...

Also I discovered the story of Yume Nikki the other day. It's amazing how people are just MAKING stuff these days... like Vocaloid. Back in 2005 some guy used RPGMaker to make a game about a hikikomori girl stuck in her unexitable room, whose dreams you get to navigate.
I haven't played it but it sounds surreal. I then spent an hour browsing dedicated imageboards and reading mile-long fanwank theories as to all the deep and significant things every smallest aspect of that expansive dreamworld was supposed to stand for in the ruined life of the protagonist.
