#150 In Your Head (Comment allez-va? Cheveux bleus. Vachon)

I’ve been extremely discouraged about the color on the last… dozen or so HAFTs and it was becoming increasingly painful to take my photos with my trusty Kodak DX3900, which required a ton of color adjustment with photoshop. I tried getting a new camera, but the newer equivalent Kodak camera has all sorts of automatic light adjustments just… look worse. The last few HAFTs have been either too yellow cast or blurry or… meh.

So, I moved my whole set up from Eevil Twin Studios (my bedroom) and into the Tai Chi Knees Studio (my home office/music room), which has a lot of windows, and I got 2 of those 100mW- equivalent new fangled swirly light bulbs. I did these no-flash shots today with the natural light and the two bulbs (and a tiny LED light shining on the back of the tiny HaloCLIX Cortana). Now the figures actually look the correct color with no post-processing necessary.

Now my only problem is my office is (more) filled with HAFT stuff. Tsk tsk. The wacky things people will do for a little attention on the internet. I mean… really.

I think it is important to never tell anyone your dreams. Unless you want people to know you have a deep abiding fear of Campbell’s soup cans.

Thank you for the many kind messages during the HAFT drought. I am a bit rusty, but hopefully I’ll get my photographic and photoshoppic skills (skillz?) back up to speed post haste!

Hrk blah is right… I assume this has been finals week for many of the students and teachers out there… so “Yay!” if you are finished!

If you’re still studying, then… get off the internet and back to work!

I think Lily Black was pretty hot.

Sorry for the delay here… I had the flu which knocked me for a loop. Blargh. Also, honk. Remember kids, always wash your hands, eat right, get plenty of sleep and never, ever, EVER fly in an airplane. Those things are just mobile coast-to-coast petrie dishes of disease. Ew.

It is a well-known fact that all super-villains play brass instruments and drink milk.

However, only the truly evil can do both at the same time.

#143 More Lips to Love (L’amour, c’est stupide)

Sorry for the delay, I had a slight hardware… I mean… a slight weapons malfunction, but, uh, everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine, we’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

#142 Welcome Back (Bienvenue)

Behold, the magic that is the nail-biting excitement of UNO!

…has anyone ever questioned WHY Cortana is dressed like a stripper?

No. Of course not.

So, there you go, my point exactly.

Now, stop looking at my boobs.
