Your “WHOOOOO!!! FOUR-DAY WEEKEND!!!” Friday Open Thread

Brevity is the soul of wit. Well, Hamlet was a whiny little pissant.

“Oh, I want to be king, but my mother married a douchebag, so I can’t. Why’s he trying to be my dad? Besides, my real father abandoned me, so now I have to raise myself.”

Brevity is also the nature of the Open Thread. My agenda for the holiday weekend is thus:

  • Today – drive to Whistler with relatives. Find bar.
  • Saturday – whale watching tour with relatives. Hit bar upon return to dry land.
  • Sunday – niece’s birthday party. Five-pin bowling. Beer in plastic cups.
  • Victoria Day – FINALLY see “Captain America” at Cineplex that serves beer.

As you can see, the consistent theme for the weekend is “family”, and the drinking they cause. At least someone else will be behind the wheel, so I can imbibe with (relative) impunity.

Pre-post update: look what I found:

Have a safe weekend, my charges.

IT MEANS I’M ALIVE!!!

I’d expect Walter Bishop to be more curious.

Idea No. 43 to increase scoring in hockey: the puck can only be frozen if it’s inside the crease. Under penalty of catapult.

I have no idea what this is, but it’s probably awesome.

Google tells me this is Venture Bros.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Venture Bros. is where I got my name from. The creators did an interview and tossed out Rikki-Tikki-Deadly as a potential villain name.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You NEEEEEED to watch The Venture Bros.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Getting familiar with their universe is a pretty big investment, but DAMN does it pay off.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Wellllllll….OK. Is it on Netflix?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I think you can watch full episodes on Adultswim.

Meanwhile, at Casa de Unsurprised …

BTW, Moose…moving our Incredible Shrinking Conversation up here…if you ever want me to take a look at what you’re doing, you can send me a file & tell me what you’re looking for. I can always send it back with layers & notes that you can go through. Photoshop is pretty opaque sometimes, and I’ve found step-by-step intros & tutorials to be a big help.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Thank you. My cousin who is doing some remarkable photography is trying, I just need to figuratively get off my ass. Also upgrade the software.

Very genuine person, too. Her dog’s name is Elliot.

That’s awesome, BTW. I hate not being able to paint anymore.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That one is even harder.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It was a better quality scan overall, at least. I’m working on two more right now…one is Olive Borden in the ’20s & she’s wearing heavy eye shadow, so now I have to figure out what color that would be in that era…

What process for the colorization?

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Photoshop, a steady hand, and patience. Every color is a separate layer.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Great work. I need more practice. Where I try to use layers is a light sky and dark green landscape.

*protip; don’t work on an original like I did [stupid fucker]

Beastmode Ate My Baby

What are you using the layers for? Color enhancement?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Yes, but I’ve have better luck with, what is? The zone tool? I have an old version of Elements. Might help if I updated too.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

With something like that, you can use an enhancement layer, and then a masking layer on top of that to mask out anything you need. So you could pop the greens on one layer, mask out the sky, then pop the sky on another layer and mask the green.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is what I was trying to do with moderate success.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

What OS are you using?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Since I bought the program? All the MS over the last….. not even sure how many years. It still loads and works OK, it is more my impatience that is the problem.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Got it. This stuff has a real learning curve.

Look I know I’m a 3rd Class Passenger on the Titanic and the Republican Captains are heading straight into the iceberg at 24 knots. Let me have some happy moments before I drown!
