Real new look and some other stuff

So. Um. The last few days are a bit of a blur. I remember a small hyperactive horse-thing with pink curly hair singing about friendship, and then hitting me on the head with a... "magic friendship wand". I remember small flashes of purple, glitter and having the strangest craving for a salt-lick. When I came to, my room was painted in pink florals and there were hoof prints everywhere. I'd call the cops but I don't think they would believe me.

Anyway, here is the REAL new look, which... technically isn't "new". I changed a few images around, added images to the new page, got some things in order, etc.

I still have a busy bunch of weeks ahead, so wish me luck.

Oh, and I hope you guys have been showing at least a little support to the insane things going on in the world (take that how you will). I know that things are getting worse over in Japan, with this disaster being called worse then Chernobyl now.

I'm sure by now you've all heard of different organizations you can donate to, so I won't bother making a list. Heck, even my neighboring college, SAIT, has been running a few charities and activities.

In other Canadian news... It's April. And it's still snowing.

Sigh.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a salt-licking glitter fiend to hunt down.

New site look!

Important: Schedule and News!

Still have lots a work to do. So. I wrote up a schedule... for the next 6 months...kinda

Slug Trails: Blogs

I'm half tempted to call this "Slug Plugs", but uh... ya...

Plus, i couldn't stop lauging and i already have my image drawn. Oh well.

Anyway, down to buisness: I've noticed that i have a love of throwing out links to all the random places i visit/inhabit. And in the next post I'm plannng, there are going to be ALOT more showing up. I figure i need a links section to keep track of them all. So why not make a big deal out of it by turning it into an actual series!?

... This is totally not going to be a cop-out for when I'm busy with grad/portfolio/day job/homework... Really. It's not.

All the links will be introduced here and then posted on the Links page. I'll be posting more, usually themed, as I continue. And any links that will show up in other posts will be automaticly added to the page

Right now, i'm going to start small and introduce a few of the blogs I go to. Also I can't guarantee that you won't see something at one of these sites that is inapropriate for children I will eventually put up a "safe for kids" but for now, all of these are MATURE RATED:

The Writing Desk: Pet Peeves #1: Padding

Okay, I am in no way a writing genius. However, I do know some things about writing and can still give my piece on what makes something good, or at least passable for enjoyable stories. And to start this off, lets look at one of my biggest writing pet peeves: Padding.

Wonder Woman: The TV show

Wonder Slug, Away!

I am a huge WW fan. So to this, I will say:

ABOUT FREAKING TIME! WOO WOO!

*Ahem*

All right, so it's just a pilot, but it's more then she's gotten in a long time, seeing as the last time WW got her own TV series, it was the 70s. And yes, that's including animated TV shows as well.

I was nervous at first. Wondy has not had the greatest luck with writers. In fact, the last couple of decades have had more then a few tragic moments *cough*AmazonsAttack*cough*.

But the more I hear, the more excited I get. I mean, the writing team has the guys who worked on Boston Legal and Supernatural. Which means we have someone that can successfully write moments that involve magic and can write believable and intelligent characters. I'll admit, I was also nervous when I heard that she was going to be a company executive. Yes, that's right.

But when the early script was leaked, I heard that the part was written well for her. And when I think about it, it makes sense. As Diana Prince, Wonder Woman never had ritzy glamourous jobs, but ones that made sense for women at the time. Back when she started, her secret identity was a nurse, or a secretary, or a boutique owner, etc. So a modern day business woman makes sense, to me at least. And instead of being set at the beginning, it's gonna be set several years later. And the script has it's issues, (Wonder woman has a pj party with her bff-- wait, what?)  but it's an early script so I'm not too worried.

Also, Wonder Woman has her own version of Baker Street Irregulars. Huh.

The actress has now been picked: Adrianne Palicki. Her look reminds me of Wonder Woman back in the Golden and Silver age. She has the height and she a little muscular. And base on what I'm hearing, she has the acting ability too. I've never seen Friday Night lights, but thankfully, youtube exist and she's pretty good. And Linda Carter, the actress from the original series, vouches for her which is a major plus.

But I doubt worries will be lifted until the costume is revealed and the pilot starts rolling. But if things keep going the way they are, this is gonna be one epic series.

By the way, the information i found on the script was from this articles: Comics Alliance: WW TV Show Pilot Review
And the picture is from this article: Deadline Hollywood: Adrianne Palicki is NBCs WW

By the way-- I'm trying out a multi-color scheme now, tell me what you think ^_^
