    Also I feel like I cannot think of original ideas.   I was trying to think of character names.  I thought of a character named Brett Lorenzo unknown but I cannot think of an original last name for him.   Sometimes I feel like I cannot think of original ideas but part of me do not care. Another part is afraid Brett Lorenzo what's his name will sue me for basing a fictional character after him.

    Well, you could try some off-the-wall last name like "Mr. Mxyzptlk " and that should be pretty unique.  Oh... wait... never mind that's already been taken.

    Sunny but cold and windy here, 38º with winds gusting from the ewast at 37 mph. for a "Real Feel" of 26°.  Don't need to go anywhere today so just staying snug and warm.

    Kulay,

    First, unless YOUR Brett Lorenzo also shares details from the "real" Brett, you've nothing to worry about. If you manage to pick too many details such that he can recognize himself, then you've more to worry about than his frivolous lawsuit; it means you're also psychic. cool Now, had you chosen Harrison Ford or Cristiano Renaldo (famous people) they might fear you're cashing in on their fame. I use a website for naming my characters, it's random, and eliminates your natural tendency to link first and last names with ones already stored in your head.

    No, just shifted from Dos Equis to Old Chub, which is just 8%.  And I will admit I feel no pain, although I'm 110% certain I'm going to write some sloppy emo poetry before the year ends. indecision Seems like the past 12 years that's how it goes...

    ...got a couple invites for tonight but decided to just stay in the 'hood and avoid dealing with trying to get home afterwards.  Transit system is free after 8:00 PM, but no extended hours for buses, only the LRT has extra duns for the evening but  I live no where near a tram line.  Forget getting a taxi if you haven't already reserved one a week or two ago.  Uber is supposed to be giving free rides, but you can't call them without a smartphone. 

    Ah well, more money saved.

    [sport]

    Wisconsin beat USC 23 - 21 to win the Holiday Bowl last night.  Nice finish for the season.

    Arsenal is also now atop the Premier League table after defeating Bournemouth 2 - 0.  Leela's team, Crystal Palace, moved up to 5th.

    Hmmmm Brett was an influential figure in my youth.   He was only in one movie to my knowledge.  He is a real guy.  I am not trying to make my Brett be the real Brett.

    Time weighs so heavy, the past like a bright rose, drinking my soul, taking me away, for an instant
    I gaze intoyourr emerald eyes, my heart soars, you are my love, my light
    After so many years when I held you inside, I will walk away until
    I fall into you, my Goddess, my flame

    We wil be together again, my light, my life, my Sabine!

    Alfredo Limbershnitz... Stanly Snords... Bartholomew Katstabber...   I could go on.... Alphonso Badgerpantz.... Gilbert Blortnot.... I don't like that last one... I knew a Blortnot... Maybe it was Snortblot... But anyway, if you don't want to use me as a source of royalty free names, you could do what I used to do... No... That's illegal now... Uh... Okay, how about this... If you still can get a hold of a phone book, close your eyes and leaf though it and whomever your finger is closest to is the first name, do it again for the last name... That and there is actually a really stupid website that will make up names for you... I'm sure if you Google "random name generator" you'll find it or something like it.

    My roommate is listening to music but did not ask me I would mind or not.  I do not want to listen to music but create art or write.

    ummmm... ouch.

    I have stopped posting in the galleries. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate the forums as well.

    Morning. 2016 turned out to be OK, so far is pretty much like 2015 except the wind changed direction, stuff is cooling down and the fires down the coast are retreating inland, not so good if you are in the way I guess but w00t :)

    104F  thaz Arizona hot

    107 outside our back door thermometer, gots to get one of those new fangled metric ones some day :)

    During the summer, we WISH for 104. We hit 104 sometime in May, and don't see it again until September. devil Stil, I wouldn't go back to scraping windows and shovelling snow, and OZ has it worse since 120's are records here, not regularities.

     

    It doesn't get so cold or rain so much here tho, unless there is a big storm blowing in the southern ocean or we catch an edge of the northern monsoons.
