oh golly, i can't even imagine what that would look like !! (but obviously that one would need red hair for SURE).

Well it's now Thursday. No better: this morning I stuck a finger in my eye. It still hurts. Don't know why I did that (well, it was an accident while I was applying make-up). So if that's the big event of the day....sheesh. At least I've got a good book on the go.

Hm. I don't know as I have a llama model (an obvious deficiency in my collection, if not). But do you fancy this outfit?

If you don't want to ride the llama side-saddle, I could substitute trousers for the skirt. A friend does great replacement "textures" (read, fabric substitutions) for 3D outfits... see the bottom of this page for examples of options for this particular outfit: http://chohole.francemi.net/freebies-page-5.htm

Unless you specify otherwise, I'd use the same female model I've been using. But with red hair, of course.

hey, you guys cheated. i came back here today to check up on you and see if you did an "all lower case wednesday" and find only geoff (good sir, chocolate back at ya) and zp (who is the queen and mistress of all lower case posts) kept up. frankly, i don't blame you. it goes against the grain for me. my shift key gets rather lonely unless i use characters that require it like ! and & and ? also, i didn't exactly stick around to help out. have a great thursday and keep your fingers out of your eyes (and elsewhere).

sure, looks good ! i'll trust your judgement anyway. i like black, and i like blue. i don't usually wear plaid but that is an obvious deficiency in my wardrobe. perhaps i should have a dress like that made for real life.

i think llamas should always be ridden side-saddle, just to make the whole image that much more surreal.

well, i did notice and appreciate the suggestion, vr ! luckily my "!" does not require the use of the shift key. ironically, the "." (yes, the full stop, period, perhaps the most singularly useful punctuation mark available) DOES require the use of the shift key. *sigh* (asterisk also lower-case, luckily)

have a great thursday yourself ! and i'll try to keep my fingers where i can see them (but not too closely).

clutching your pinwheels as you fly from thread to thread....

nekokami · 08-07-2008, 04:59 PM

Sorry, no llama model available, except one that would cost $20. Much as I love you, oh great queen, that's out of my price range right now.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-07-2008, 05:06 PM

well why don't you rest on your laurels for a while then, and see what inspiration will strike you. i have enough avatars to keep me busy for quite some time, so you shouldn't feel any pressure. i hear it's bad for creativity you know.

nekokami · 08-07-2008, 05:23 PM

I know, I'm just disappointed. I was really starting to get into the llama idea.

Oh well. Maybe I'll get another page of the manga done tonight.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-07-2008, 05:33 PM

that's the ticket.

RWood · 08-07-2008, 06:28 PM

Beware, Friday the 13th comes on a Wednesday this month.

What are you, the harbinger of doom? Starting to freak me out. Or are you just recycling your posts?

So far you infiltrated the Monday and Wednesday threads. Or did you hit a Friday thread and I missed it?

Huh .... who knew the Harbinger of Doom would become a moderator on Mobile Read. Must have been downsized from a prior position.

RWood · 08-07-2008, 11:07 PM

Thank you for noticing Ricky. I have downsized several sizes and had to punch new holes in my belt. The shirts all seem to be made for a person larger than I am now (in fact they were as I was larger then.)

As for the recycled Pogo by Walt Kelly joke about Friday the 13th coming on (insert day of the week here), it is just a line I like. It was a great comic strip that I remember fondly to this day. If you ever see a collection of Pogo in a second hand book shop, grab it. Its great reading.

As for being a "harbinger of doom", who said Friday the 13th was bad. I once lived on the 13th floor of a building, apartment 1328 as I remember.
