Questions… Answered. (Day 1)

Lots of questions were asked. Thank you all.

As promised, here starts my answers. I’ve divided these up, and will post them over the next few days. Here’s the first three questions that were asked.

What is a typical day like for you? Is it routine or does it change from day to day?

My routine is very… routine. For me. Tuesday through Saturday, I naturally (no alarm clock!) get up around 9 AM or so. I take a shower, then get dressed for the day. I usually run some errands before arriving at my tattoo studio around 11:30 AM or so. I clean the studio before opening. Then it’s a good eight hours of tattooing and drawing until closing time. Then I usually head home where I spend a few hours in front of the computer, doing paperwork, watching something on Netflix, reading some blogs, attempt to come up with something to blog myself, etc. Then I head to bed around 1 AM. And the process repeats until Sunday and Monday, when the studio is closed. On Sunday and early Monday, the Husbear and I usually work around the house, go shopping, etc. Monday evenings are typically spent beveraging (and tweeting the follies!) with my buddy Mike.

Blue-Gray or Blue-Green?

asked by Dave from Blogography

Three thoughts come to mind: Blue Cheese varieties, eye color, and cells.

I’m not a fan of any Blue Cheese, and the lyrics “The grey cells green only if the green cell’s grey / The grey cell’s green only if the green cells grey” are nonsense to me, that only leaves eye color. Of which I’m partial to the blue-gray variety.

Have you kissed a skunk?

asked by Spo from Spo Reflections

Not yet. Although I did make out with someone who had just smoked once and that made me think that must be what it’s like to kiss a skunk.

Until next time...

Mopiness of Doom

I don’t know if any of you are familiar with Invader Zim, but it’s a great cartoon that was canceled after only 47 episodes. If you’ve never watched any of them before, Volume 1 is available to watch instantly on Netflix. I highly recommend you do so. You won’t be sorry.

I’m extremely partial to Zim’s robot minion GIR. Partial enough that I tattooed GIR on my calf. Here’s a collection of some of GIR’s craziness:

Update: Looks like it’s only kind of available. But if you click this link it will show you the video full-screen.

Dead Robot shared the below with me, as he knows my love of all things Invader Zim. There was an Invadercon (who knew such a thing existed!) in Atlanta this past weekend where the voice actors read two scripts that had never been animated.

I really love watching voice actors perform. Sometimes one can almost see the character they are voicing come to life in their emotions.

It probably doesn’t help my maturity level in that I tend to make all sorts of squeaky voices myself.

Anyway, here is the reading for “Mopiness of Doom”:

And the reading for “Day of da Spookies”:

Sadly, it appears the event was attended by a gaggle of pre-teen girls, as that’s about all you can hear in the audience.

Until next time...
