When you post a comment on somebody else's blog they ask you to prove you're not a robot and type two images they show, one of a random jumble of bent letters and another of somebody's house number. Have you seen any that seem more common?

Can I Use Photoshop?

I already have Adobe, but can I get Photoshop from it for free, or do I have to pay for it? If I do have to pay, could you point me to another program that is like Photoshop?

If you must know, some of my favorite characters are listed below.

Disney; Wall-E
Star Wars; Boba Fett
Animated TV show; Perry (Phineas and Ferb)
Robot; R.O.B. (Nintendo, Super Smash Bros. universe)
Game Character; Yoshi (Super Mario Bros. series)

A Word of Reassurance

I want you to know that  you can respond to older posts, too. You don't have to be afraid to share your opinions.

Oh Bro-cabulary!

I have thought of some words that are not usually used in regular everyday vocabulary.

Spanglish: The use of blending of English and Spanish
Antidisestablishmentarianism: Against disestablisments (the longest English word)
Uncopyrightable: Unable to copy because of copyright (the longest English word without repeating characters)

If you have any ideas for uncommon words, please tell me.

Ever notice that in blogs when you share your interests with other people you know likes what you like, they respond back? Or when you ask others to comment? Are our minds wired to answer question marks? (Speaking of which, I've used three in the paragraph)

P.S.
Please look at the minifigures (August 16) and tell me which one is your favorite. Mine is the diver from series 8.

Today I had an idea for a new game to make. It would be like a robotic motocross race, but instead of being the first to the finish line, you have to be the last racer surviving to finish. How about that?

I looked up more info on Wreck-it Ralph and there are going to be cameos by Bowser from the Mario series, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic's nemesis Dr Eggman, Q-bert, and Clyde (the orange ghost) from Pac-Man. (No Mario or Luigi, though (:-() )

P.S., Can I use any of my Microsoft programs (Word, Excel, etc.) to make pixel art?

One of my favorite comics is Mother Goose and Grimm because of the references to pop culture.
"It's good to be home, but I miss running around the comics." (Lie down on doghouse, then fall off.) "How does he do that?"

I am a big fan of Lego so it should come as no suprise that I would also fall in love with their mascot, the Minifigure. When individually packaged minifigures were being sold, I knew that it would catch on. Now they're up to Series 8 this year, so I thought I'd show the series released in the past.

I like the robot and clown (1), the tennis player (3), the hazmat guy and hockey player (4), the graduate (5), skater girl and clockwork robot and genie (6), and the space marine and swimmer (7). I really want the alien queen, or the diver, or the football player, or Santa!

When I saw the pixel-art poster for Wreck-it Ralph I wanted to some stuff of my own (actually, I have been interested in pixel charactters since my cousins showed me some older games on an NES.) What could I "pixelize?"

A promotion for the movie, featuring a mock-up video game with working controls. In the game "Fix-it Felix Jr.", Ralph is the bad guy.

Our grandpa works part-time as a cleaner for Rocky Mountain Labs in Hamilton, Montana, and he got me some sort of jar. It has a lid with a stirring stick down the middle. It also has two spout on either side. Any suggestions on what to use it for?

Emily found the trailer for Wreck-it-Ralph. I like the cameos of famous video game characters. The trailer is at http://disney.go.com/wreck-it-ralph/?cmp=wdsmp_wir_url_dcomwreckitralph.

In other news, I am getting ready for college this month. Wish me luck!

I am a major fan of the Disney movies. My favorite movie is Toy Story 3 and my favorite character is Wall-E from... uh... Wall-E. Please tell me your favorite Disney movie and character.

I have heard that there is a new Disney movie coming out called Wreck-it-Ralph. It's about the characters that live behind the screens of video games. If you have seen any teasers or previews, please let me know.

Today we went to the baptism of our younger cousin, Anna McLean. Afterwards we rode in a wooden go-cart and ate at Tucano's in Provo, Utah for $13. When we last ate at a Brazillian restaurant, we took some extra drinks and desserts and accidentally ended up paying about $100 for our meal. While travelling home I took a nap, but I didn't keep track of time. I believe Anna will become more faithful as she grows.

I have some ideas for what I want to draw, but first I need to learn how to scan pen and ink drawings into the computer.
