How's it going, FS?

Tell us all about it!

Re: How's it going, FS?

It is going okay. Allergies are bad. I'm working on a presentation I'll be giving tomorrow in my Toastmasters group. I have to plan an event and give a speech on it. My audience will tell me ways it could go wrong, and then on the fly I have to come up with ways to work with those problems. It is my first time giving a speech on Zoom. We'll see how it goes. But the fake event I'm planning is fun. A one-time cat cafe featuring Jackson Galaxy speaking and Cat Cora cooking.

nothing is wrong in my personal day-to-day existence but the world is massively on fire in general so, not totally sure how to answer

Working on my mail in ballot. All my local people are Republicans so I just have to pick the lesser of the two (or three) evils.

I don't even know anymore. I tried to be productive today, but I have friends who live in larger cities where there was a lot of looting and burning and I'm so scared for them that I can't focus on my work.

Re: How's it going, FS?

Apparently there are protests going on down the street from me, which is weird because I'm more in the suburbs and thus far all the protests have been happening downtown/in the city. My mom keeps calling and texting me freaking out even though I've told her multiple times I'm not going out anytime soon.

Also, today was the first day my work allowed clients back, but I'm still off and kept getting panicked calls needing my help to fix things they were screwing up.

So it's been a stressful day, plus I'm hungry, but I've gotten very little sleep the past several days so I think I'm going to just go to bed and hope everything is still standing when I wake up.

App question

[philstar22]

What's the best free app for macs for doing a simple drawing. I just realized I'm going to need to draw a map plan for my presentation. Something easy to use. Or website would be fine too. I usually use photo editor for secret making, so that won't work for making my own thing.

Re: App question

[(Anonymous)]

It depends what features you need. If you need to do scale drawing you'll want to use a planning tool. You can do free trials of some of them online which is perfect if you only need it for this one thing. Otherwise any drawing program will work. Mac even has basic drawing tools in Preview if you want to doodle over the top of something.

Re: App question

[(Anonymous)]

I like GIMP, personally! It's pretty lightweight and has a ton of features, plus it's free.

What are your lost or inaccessible media "Holy Grails"? Are there any things that you've been looking for for ages, whether it's a book or a show or an episode, and never been able to find?

Re: Inspired By #5

[(Anonymous)]

The Mon Colle Knights English dub. It was kind of like a gag dub and I've seen a few episodes on YouTube and the like, but I've never been able to find the whole dub. Same for Duel Masters, although I did find many episodes of that one, they were all just low quality ones.

Re: Inspired By #5

[kaijinscendre]

A book I read as a kid that was of Cherokee legends. I had it as a kid and it just disappeared one day.

I also had a specific copy of Aesop's fables that I loved as a kid.

Re: Inspired By #5

[greghousesgf]

I already answered this but I'll go into more detail. Tomfoolery was an animated version of a lot of the writings and drawings of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. Since there's no copywright issues involving either of these authors (they both lived in the Victorian era) there should be DVDs and there aren't. Curiosity Shop was sort of what Sesame St would have been like if it had been meant for older kids and made by hippies.

There was a sci-fi series I read as a kid that was about a boy and a girl traveling to different planets with their uncle, and I vividly remember the second or third book has the boy being mistaken for dead and buried alive, but other than that I got nothing. (I can even retrace my steps to where the series used to be shelved at my local library, but it's obviously not there anymore.)

Re: Inspired By #5

[bur]

I actually got mine a few years back. I'd read a book in middle school where the only things I could remember were a girl raised by hyenas and a machine that turned children into Young People. I eventually figured out it was The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids. It's out of print, but copies are pretty cheap, and it is DELIGHTFUL.

Re: Inspired By #5

[philstar22]

There are several books about Pompeii and Vesuveus that I read as a kid that I haven't been able to find. One in particular, the first half of the book was an imagined story about this slave girl who had a tooth absess and her experience of the eruption and the second half was about the excavation of her remains in Pompeii.

I used to watch The Bold and the Beautiful with my grandma and sometimes I have such a LONGING to see a certain storyline or two again (I don't really have any attachment to the show, but I guess a weird form of nostlagia?) and I used to be able to find a clip here and there (weirdly dubbed in Spanish I think) on Youtube but never that specific storyline. I even went so far to look up what's on those anniversary compilation DVDs that used to exist yeeeaard ago, but nope.
Btw. It was mainly the Rick/Amber/CJ storyline. (Seriously, don't ask me why)

Re: Inspired By #5

The Celtic rock band The Drovers used to do an absolutely wicked version of Sympathy for the Devil in live sets, honestly the best version of the song I've ever heard. I've never been able to find it because aside from some middling soundtrack stuff, they were kind of niche.

Re: Inspired By #5

A syndicated cartoon from the 90s called Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys. There's a decent amount of episodes on Youtube but not all of them, and the last several episodes in particular I've never been able to find. There's a DVD set findable online but from the research I've done I'm 99% sure it's some kind of unofficial bootleg and I'm not willing to buy it just on the hope the quality isn't shit.

Also not quite as 'lost' but: the original Muppet Show. Three seasons got released on disc but they were edited due to rights issues and there's largely a mix of randoms clips and occasional episodes on Youtube, but I haven't been able to find the entire series complete and unedited anywhere. I know you have it Disney, put it up for streaming already!

In elementary school we watched this miniseries called Tomes and Talismans, where at some point in the future all humans are evacuated from earth but this one librarian ends up left behind in stasis and then years later she's unearthed by some children who find her inside the planet's last remaining library. It was supposed to be some educational thing but I remember being really into it and I've tried to find it again but with no luck. Episode one is on Youtube but I haven't had any luck with the rest.

Stupid Fucking Trump

[philstar22]

I'd really luck to punch him in the face. Every single word he just spoke just makes me want to be out there protesting all the more. He can't even do that. He can't use the military in that way. But that's not going to stop him, and I doubt he'll be called on it.
