Deviation Actions
Still alive, folks. Life has taken me to the bowels of hell and back over that last several months. I'll go into more detail in the coming days.
Missed you guys!
Missed you guys!
Contest Extension
Just an extremely quick hitter for all of you. The T&T contest submission deadline has been extended. You now have until March 24, 2008, to enter the contest. Furthermore, I would really like to see more Triumph entries! Keep the submissions rolling in guys and gals!
Grammar Nazi...RAWR!
So, in my grammar nazi tirade, I decided to hopefully clarify a very commonly misused writing technique. I've entitled the piece Grammar & You - Synedoche and Metonymy, and I've made it a handy dandy news article here. Enjoy!
No real updates here. Keep the entries flowing in guys! I'm still looking for donations as prizes to add to the pool. If you have anything, and I mean ANYTHING, be it journal features, dA gear, subscriptions, whatever...give what you can, and we'll make sure some worthy deviants end up with some good stuff.
dA-Collab...DO IT! This little project by AR is going to rock out loud. Get in now while you still can!
Grammar and You - Synedoche and Metonymy
So, I've decided it would be a good idea to write a weekly editorial regarding our very own English language. I am an American, so I cannot pretend to be the best grammatical expert in the world, but I know a thing or two. Recently, I've seen an some resemblance, or an absolute abomination, of the English language used on deviantART. Well folks, I'm here to help you broaden your vocabulary by teaching you a few words that will help you at least sound intelligent. And awwwwway we go!
Synedoche
Pronunciation: sin.NECK.duh.KEY
Etymology: Latin, from Greek, 15th Century C.E.
Function: noun, adjective (-e -> -ic, -e -> =ical), adverb (-
It's Monday already? Damn...
So, this weekend has been a wicked long one. I feel like it was Friday 3 hours ago, and here I am, staring down Monday face to face. I did manage to get a crapload of stuff done, which would explain the lack of updates here. I managed to help the wife get the house all spiffy, helped my brother-in-law with his truck, helped my father-in-law with his car, bought a car myself, and went to my sister-in-law's baby shower. OK, enough bitching about my 30 hours in a day getting vetoed...update time!
So, instead of posting the entire thing over and over, I decided to just write a news article, because I'm really REALLY lazy. You can find it

Nice to see that you are still hanging in there. 
Within the past couple of months I've started playing Warcraft and haven't been on as much as I use to. I still pop in here though.
