I've only seen them a few times. I wish I could see them more often, so I could shoot them...

At first I was like “awe, he wants to add to his collection of bird spotting in his book“ then I saw the last bit, lol’d my Rea out my nose, and said “this dude want to add to his collection on his wall” :p ;)

So, because of the quarantine and working from home I have the tv on as background noise.

I’ve watched a couple movies on the SyFy channel. Constantine, The Fast and The Furious, Fifth Element, etc.

The language censoring is so f***ing weird.

I’m watching Constantine right now, they censored “Jesus.”

During The Fast and the Furious, straight up said the word “f****.”

I even did a double take. They censored “s***” multiple times.

makes no sense.
 
Little more than peeved right now. My old place needs to be sublet by 6/1 so I don't get charged rent anymore, but the girl who was gung ho about it and turned in an application waited two weeks to tell us that she had to back out of the lease at signing because of her income. The landlord took the listing down after her application was approved, so that took away two weeks worth of potential leasers.

I don't wanna pay another freaking rent, I've already spent like four thousand dollars getting out of there plus deposits/rent/moving expenses. I just want my savings to be healthy again. Hopefully someone will take the lease over, but I'm losing the faith.

Can I say that I hate ants?

I haven't washed my car in like 2 months. I live in a condo and generally park on the street. One of the houses I park nearby has a small palm street next to the curb. I parked right up again the palm tree with my doors touching the tree.

I drove my car on Wednesday with no issue. Get in my car this morning and I see one ant. and then another and another. I'm like wtf. I got straight to the car wash. Open up my rear passenger door and s*** ton of ants coming out of the door where the dame tree was touching. spent 45 minutes vacuuming the hell out of my car then came home and sprayed ant poison all over the inside of my car.

f*** ants man.

Get some Terro ant poison and it will kill the entire colony pretty quickly.

I restarted my game project this week in confirmation of reduced working days. I hope to give a weekly update, as self-motivation, follow a schedule & info sharing.
I know this isn't exactly the thread for this, & I will post to the development thread later, but I think it is something I am excited to share.

This week Focus: Kitchen.
A simple sketch I made. Not exactly fine art but it's good enough for visualization for 3D modeling.

Work I done so far this week. The 3D modeling is done in Maya LT 2019 for those interested.

The Shading/texture work I did for the fridge. This was done a while back but posted the first time. (Yes the fridge was modeled before I made the kitchen Sketch (WHich I integrated the fridge I modeled already) in case you are wondering)

I will be adding some fridge magnets as well as a note attached to a magnet (see concept sketch above) as part of gameplay.

going to go check my car in a bit to air it out since I sprayed raid in there haha. Also to see if the ants found a different path.

"If you don't have anything by the end of May you're black balled from the forum.

I mean it. Don't make me abuse my mod powers. "

He "demanded" me to have something to show for my game project by end of May or he ban me.

It wasn't serious.

Does anyone else have bad luck with fast food places and pick up at restaurants? I swear it is always a 50/50 chance my order is right even before this pandemic. It gets really frustrating sometimes lol.

Popular fast food places like in n out, canes, and chik filet lines seem to have gotten much worse like two weeks into stay-at-home began...seems to having an affect on their fries most of the time now.

I try to go to mum n pops places I love on their slow days. They tend to hook it up adding a lil extra, especially the places I get along with the owners lol

The typical places like del taco, bakers and the likes seems to be the same, but they’re getting my orders more accurately now :p

I miss the places I was just getting to know or chill at like sushi or Korean bbq...side note I’ve never been to an Applebee’s or Boston’s lol

It's millenials like you who are killing Applebee's!!! Hope you're a regular patron of Outback Steakhouse at least.

As for me, I've been trying to do more local places, and a couple friends of mine run a pop-up restaurant that I've been trying support when they have food to go. Did get McDonald's the other day, but it wasn't busy so it came out delicious. Don't hate

Would you say that fear and respect are the same thing?

I notice that a lot of insecure tough guys use fear and intimidation to get their point across, but they’re always demanding “respect”. Even though there’s literally nothing about them to respect.
