tell me what you see?

oK... it seems logical that if I copy over the numerical values for the colors i use.. they'll display, right? RIGHT???
Logic says....
SO WHY ISN'T IT HAPPENING??!?!??!

Seriously annoyed! i found the damn disc, installed Artweaver just so i could convert the bitmaps... but when the bitmaps came off the flash drive they had been bleached but here's the thing.. they were bmps so I said I'd just redo the skin tones... I had the numbers for the custom shade I used... The Damn Custom Shade is indistinguishable from white!!!!! HOW THE HELL DOES THAT HAPPEN?!?!?!
I pulled up the Custom menu... typed in the number values...from a picture I'd taken w phone of the screen so i knew i'd get it exactly right... why why WHY is it sooo different upstairs?
Ok I'm gonna throw a quick bmp together of my boy waving....

What do you see?I see 3 ghosts and a sunburn -_-
Sooo frustrated!
I need sleep. Been up all damn night cuz i couldn't sleep. Maybe I'll put Pride and Prejudice in, try to get some nice shots of the hair in hopes i can go to the salon at the mall and get some help creating the bangs. And I'm sure i'll also fall asleep. Fortunately Memorial Day switched the truck day schedule and it looks like i'll soon be getting all my days off in a row. That would be epic. I'll be damn tired during the working half but not like I need my brain then anyway. A single recoup day and then I'll have cartooning time. Cleaning time.. wandering in the woods with my notebook time. Dreamy dreamy. Maybe even time to pull out the viola!

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

What a day. What a damn day. Some very nice moments tho...me and Mom had another shopping trip and I snagged an I Heart Ronson dress that went clearance even tho it's a Large....I was just that damn in love with the belt that came with. But the dress is comfy too and as usual by some miracle I can fit tho I do look pregnant. Eh. I have got to drop a few. Or 20. Mom too...we conmiserated over our shared overweight status. Then we went to Red Lobster and pigged out. The coconut shrimp is yum!!
the sucky part?
walmart would not let me place an online order. Grrr wtf? And my Body Fortress is nearly gone grrr... wtf walmart? They said they couldn't confirm my card or some shit. The same card I used to buy my wig not 2 days ago. So ofc I checked my account and my card is still in good standing... so wtf walmart?
I also couldn't install Artweaver on the internet comp cuz the comp couldn't find the file. Seems I need to hunt down my cd. Fun. I did finally get the antivirus updated...took awhile.
and the summer heat has arrived so my whole floor is a damn desert from like 9am to 11pm.
and I've been suffering the womanlies.
good times.
I gotta come up with some sort of sleep schedule that let's me work in my room while still getting the wageslave shit and other stuff donw. Maybe I'll start experimenting with something called biphasic sleep. I dunno...I just know I work better in my quiet room. Easier to focus...but so hot during the day in here!

shopping and tmi.... ugh....

I. Feel. Like. SHIT. Ugh...... I found some dark chocolate M&Ms and so I had the last slice of 12grain bread smothered in peanut butter and M&Ms. It has been over a month since I've eaten that much fiber in one sitting. And my intestines are punishing me. I'm annoyed and uncomfy and unhappy. Got a flash drive in my pocket with untested bitmaps, the internet computer finally finished downloading the antivirus update (I napped cuz it took so long) and I still haven't installed it or installed Artweaver cuz I'm stuck in the damn bathroom thanks to my own stupidity. Had a good day yesterday tho. Me and Mom had a girly shopping day while she used up some gift cards.I bought my first real wig (didn't use gift cards for everything. The wig stand was just credit) and Mom got a wig too. I have 2 wigs already but they're costume wigs of plastic hair, like $20. This one is of human hair and was just under $90. Mine looks like Anna Wintour's haircut, and is a reddish golden brown, light brown. Mom's is dark red rocker short hair. I said I might borrow it to go see R sometime, just to see his reaction. Heehee. I do prefer mine but Mom's is such a gorgeous color. I love the idea of having several wigs. I could play with short hair styles without having to cut my hair off! I'd like a reddish short wig similar to some of Samantha's past cuts, just for fun. Blonde doesn't work with my skin or Mom's but red looks soooo good. Why did my brother have to get the red hair? Grrr. We're going out again Friday since she still has 2 cards left. She also wants to go to one place tonight...a local diner that gives you a free piece of pie on your birthday (happy birthday to my Mom!) And I feel bad that I don't feel well. Especially since it's my own fault. What was I thinking?? I wasn't thinking!! Moron! If I was at the computer i'd draw a slap self pic. Instead I'm stinking up Mom's bathroom! Today is weds too...comic day! I gotta see if converting to jpg on internet computer solves the color problem! This sucks! Think I could get away with posting it tomorrow and backdating it? I hope my intestines are happier soon..... Mom will be home soon and my phone also needs charging now. Uuuggghhhhhh.....

Launching... *CRASH!* *KA-BOO-OOM!!*

Here I am again!
But it's coming along... figuring out how to work the C-Panel is probably the hardest part.. coding by hand, always fun.. NOT!!! But with bandwidth limits now being put on people's internet plans, maybe simple coding is good for them as well as being a bit easier on me. Simple coding takes less bandwidth ^_^.... ok..ok... if i post this stuff in the wrong folder it won't be visible. ooops.
And the pics have to be uploaded in a separate process... and yea I'm lost!
My thinking is to update every Wednesday. This website building from scratch is difficult, and kinda hard to do when my brain and body both want sleep. I've looked over my schedule and I tend to have both Tues and Weds off so I can recoup on Tues and work on getting something posted on Weds. I have other days off too but they tend to alternate w/ working days. This job is so physically tiring, I sleep damn near all day afterwards. So basically I'm exhausted and need 2 days or more in a row off. The sleep helps me survive work but kinda hard to draw. Well... attempt to draw in my case ^_^

AND i just realized I brought the wrong text page down so i gotta rewrite everything... or just go back to my room and get the right one.. considering how long i experimented with getting the background color to match the banner (I'm still not happy with the banner but eh) and how long ti figure out the damn table (still not sure it'll work) and... and.. and..
Fucking hell why is my brain so bad? Memory so bad? Why the hell did i grab the text when i needed the html? MORON!

Ok... got the htmlpage from bedroom.. seems I can't edit it here, tho I can edit on bedroom computer. Ok... copypaste time...ok!
Oh hell, I forgot that images should probably be in a subdirectory to keep those ... whatever they call them.. down. Something about folding the info into slightly smaller packages. Anyway..I can do that when I have more than like 10 pics or something..
Wtf i've had 14 visits on my website so far? it must have been all me, checking shit out. 14 visits last month, 13 this month so far.. and 2 just yesterday. i don't remember checking my site that often. Huh...
And I still haven't configured the comic's email. No idea how to do that.
Ugh I've no idea how to tie a Paypal account to this either. For people who want to throw a few coins. EGS has one too. A lot of comics do, it's like when you see a street performer and you throw a dollar into his/her hat because you liked the song. The ads take a lot of visitors before they pay much of anything, so the coins tossed by kind people really helps. It also works as a type of feedback.. I read somewhere that you can sometimes tell which page got the most donations.. and if so, then you'd know people liked that page!
Trying to make the tip jar... at least i can have the picture.

Ok... what the hell??? Their skin tone didn't transfer????? it was peach in my bedroom?!?!??! Is it because i renamed it down here? DAMN IT!!! No it's not because it was renamed... somehow the flash drive transfer removed the skin tone. It still looked peach after conversion! Beyond weird and very fucking annoying!!!

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
Ok we're still launching, but clearly crashing. So in the process of trying to start this i've found yet another problem that i gotta figure out. Fun fun fucking fun. WTF?
Why is the banner NOT showing up??? WTF why is background color all white instead of light blue??
Ok backgrond color fixed.. dunno why this exact coding worked on bedroom comp but doesn't wanna work now.. now where the hell is my banner? it's uploaded!
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BANNER?????? I can't figure out what i did wrong!!! Everything else is coming up.. a bit jumbled around but it's coming up. What the hell?
GOT IT!!! Fucking tags!!!
Oh damn.. you can see the bacground of the page doesn't exactly match the banner's background. You can see the edges!!

This... really ... yea i'm pissed at myself. i need a picture editor that can do transparencies or something.
Blah... the lack of skin tone is more important. WTF happened there??? Maybe i need to use Artweaver to add the skin tone? Ugh my head is splitting from staring at a computer screen. Ok.. I promised you could at least have a peek tho... please try to excuse the signs of construction all over the place? And how it's just one page? I swear i'm trying to figure it all out...... www.oy-robot.com and looks like my banner girl lost her skin tone too. *sigh*

crawling to launch gate

Can you all forgive me for making the 301 post the comic launch? The past week and some change haas been hell. Inventory. Days and days of exhaustive facing and cleaning and prep so when the inventory team arrived they could get everything counted in one day. Then we had to put everything back where it originally was. Ugh. Everyone, including me, got a jump in hours for awhile. Just starting to get back to normal. So I've been sleeping a lot and stuffing my fat face. Did get on computer briefly cuz my phone-email check showed a present from Mich and I wanted to read it ^_^ and bop into some recent blogs of others (hi lil sis!) And I also remember someone asked me how to get into ketosis. Don't remember who asked tho. Why didn't I approve my comments when on comp? Stupid me.
anyway ketosis happens when your carbs get real low. Like if you only eat 20g of carbs a day. The first time I did it I was miserable. Gray outs and dizzy and nausea. Blech! But my body did get better at transitioning into ketosis. Now I get a dull headache for several hours, that's my transition sign, and once I'm in I can tell because my body temp goes up a bit, I feel hot. And sometimes get a bad taste in my mouth. . In winter I like being in ketosis cuz I don't feel as cold. Too bad winter is also when all the holiday goodies are around!

I do have comic news tho... after several days of Piggy McBingey I was on my bed feeling depressed, and ended up doing a brief 20 hr water fast just cuz I didn't want to get up. Always water at my bedside tho. But anyway after just lying there my computer-moronic brain finally figured out how to deal with bmp to jpg conversions. It was like "umm hello? Did you forget about that Artweaver program?!??"
and yea... I had totally forgotten. Turns out Artweaver if set to Max Quality can turn bmp to jpg with slight color change but no grainy uglyness. Just once converted, I can't open the pic up in Paint anymore because any editing will wonk the pic upon saving. I also got a few fonts from the internet-computer onto my bedroom computer. Can't believe I had to look up how to do that. I run Windows ffs.
I also got the Chasing The Reds album finally transferred to bedroom. Should have done that months ago. The bouncy songs put me in cartooning mode a bit easier. Oh! Want a free download? Samantha made an acoustic version of her title song and I kinda like it more than the original? Anyway go to twitter.com/samantharonson and scroll down til you see the tweet saying Free Download and click that link. You'll have to give an email but don't worry: her business account has had my email for over 6 months and I've gotten maybe 3 emails in all that time. And follow the email's directions.
and you can hear her whole album streamed song by song for free at samantharonson.com/music and you need to know that cuz I've already got a comic idea based on some lyrics ^_^ and once that comic is finally made & posted...yea *devilish snicker*
ok I gotta sleep so I can deal with a few more days of being a happy wage slave *blegh!*
