If the world had a throat, I'd strangle it.

But as it stands, since the world doesn't have a throat, I am left with strangling something else -- in particular, any one of the individuals I happen to live with.

However, as such an act would undoubtedly land me in jail, I am actually left with nothing -- which only makes me madder, of course.

Thirty seconds.

Just THIRTY. FUCKING. SECONDS.

That was all it took to undo EVERYTHING.

The power went out unexpectedly this afternoon at about 3:00 or so -- right as I was maybe a few dozen clicks away from wrapping up Lillith's Halloween piece and transfering the file so I could make a copy in order to recolor the special edition shot I wanted to do of it.

Good thing my nephew wasn't home -- otherwise he would have been privy to some rather creative swearing by Aunti Rivz.

Essentially, I lost everything since my last save prior to the blackout -- which had the lineart cleaned and base colors already filled in. A quick trot around the figure a second time with the polygon funtion managed to fix that, at least.

Sadly, the low resolution pixelation made the possibility of a special edition piece of the original a slim one at best. I'd have to pencil in everything from start to finish just to get the borders cleaned up in order to spare the overall structure.

I'll have to see how gung-ho I feel about it in the morning. Right now, I'm in no mood to deal with it -- not after the ration of shit I got from Dad right before dinner.

One of my responsibilities here at home (one of the official ones, I'd like to point out...notice that I get several others on a day-to-day basis depending on what is required... ) is to keep brewed pitchers of tea ready for dinnertime beverage consumption -- one black tea, and one sweetened green tea. This is fine. HOWEVER, the FUCKTARD who went after the teas last DIDN'T put the NEAR-EMPTY PICTHERS ON THE COUNTER SO I COULD SEE THAT REFILLS WERE REQUIRED.

So, it was apparently MY fault that they didn't get made even though the standing rule has ALWAYS been to leave out the pitchers to clue me in. I CLEARLY wasn't taking ANY intitiative at all in the matter, because I obviously don't do SHIT around here -- I guess laundry, cleaning, dishes, cat boxes, cat food, dirty work chores, and occasional nephew-keeping don't count as much any more.

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs*

I realize that by tomorrow this whole farce will be just that: a farce -- no more, no less. In the morning, it will look better than before and that the issue about the frigging teas will be forgotten by everyone else but me, the family pitbull. It was just something I didn't need tonight after losing my work on the computer.

That, and I just realized today that I only have two years of medical coverage left under my family's current plan before I'm on my own to find an alternative...

Until next.
