Halloween Help

1 min read
Okay, so for Halloween I want to be the Joker. The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger Joker... in the nurse's outfit. Problem is, I can't find decent reference pictures of that outfit anywhere. All that Google will give me is the picture of him pointing the gun, and all you can tell from those is that the outfit's white. Not a lot of help.
I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find a picture of him outside of the hospital, right before he blows it all up. If I remember right, you get a pretty good full-body view of him in that scene.
So, yeah, help is appreciated and I promise I'll put pictures up afterwards.

So it's been a week since my computer was taken in for repairs. It wasn't done by Tuesday, or by Wednesday. It isn't done now. Apparently, they didn't even look at it until yesterday.
I need a new hard drive. I don't know how long it will be until they get it in and I don't know how long it will take them to fix it. I don't know how much it will cost to get it fixed. A lot, I'm guessing. I've only had the stupid thing for six months. Dell is being completely uncooperative in giving me a copy of my invoice (I lost the original, cuz I'm an idiot) so I'm not even sure if this is under warranty.
Meanwhile, I've got 108 deviations that I need to comment on, or you know, at least look at. I've written nothing, because it's all on my computer. Nothing that I've written or scanned was backed up on a disk (again me=idiot). The good news is that I'm always way too quick to post my work after I've finished, so at least everything is available on here. I guess I haven't technically lost anything.
I've been working on some more drawings. I think my new goal is to have a preview image for every chapter of Alissa's Story. Maybe I'll have that done by the time I get my computer back... whenever that's going to be.

CRASH!!

Um, so my computer went screwy and is currently in the hospital. I guess installing updates isn't always a good thing. This is what I get for telling everyone how I've never had any problems with Vista.
Current estimate is maybe I'll have it back by Tuesday or Wednesday, but we'll see. So yeah, if you leave any comments or anything, don't be upset if I don't get back to you for a while.

Writing Resumed

I just wanted to let you all know(if anyone really cares)that I have not abandoned Alissa or her story.

To any of you who are writers, do you ever have that problem where you see your story as a series of big scenes--which you go over and over in your head--but then when you actually start writing, you realize that you have to work out the details that connect them? That's where I am right now.

I've started writing the next couple of chapters, but they're going to be slow going, because they're mostly set-up for Alissa's(accidental) big reveal. I'm finding this part kind of tedious and difficult, but hopefully I'll have a new chapter up some time in the next few days.

So, anyway, I hope you'll be patient with me.

Chichi

I learned a new word today! Okay, so maybe that's not a big deal, but this one is strange and amusing enough that I want to share.

chichi SHEE-shee, adjective: Affectedly trendy.
From the French word that literally means "curl of false hair"; used figuratively in the phrases faire des chichis, "to have affected manners, to make a fuss"; and gens à chichis, "affected, snobbish people." Sometimes spelled "chi-chi."

Now I just need some occasion to use it. :)
