talk about stuff

Finals are over. YAY
i am free of class for the summer.
on another note i've been writing a lot recently. i created a new character named Any Vimes. she's a reporter and she's been having fun interviewing people and chasing down leads. all good fun. Will has been busy opening a restaurant. It's called The Glen. then there are Iris and James who have entered another contest on my behalf.
then there's the fact that i'll be leaving for San Fransisco tomorrow. just one night but with six of us it will be fun. after that there's moving back to Eugene, figuring out my senior project, getting a job.
stuff

mornings....

why anyone would even think of scheduling anything at 7:30 in the morning let alone a final test is beyond me. of course i didn't get any sleep, so i'm at yet another disadvantage. it's not even a good thing that i still have the rest of the day because i'm going to be exhausted through all of it.
the only good thing to come out of it is the fact that Dylan one of my heroes started talking to me. I've now got a fairly good idea of her character and since i didn't even know if she was a girl or a boy before now that is big. then i decided to come into the lab and draw some rather them go home since i still don't have Photoshop on my home computer after the big melt down. <> i ended up inking Adam's picture. there were some changes that needed to be made to one of his legs but i think i fixed that problem. His picture will probubly end up being very diferent from Ben's.

my young heores

his is the first of seven pictures staring my seven Young heroes. this is Ben and he's the second member of the group, he's the first one i drew and he's been very open with me. i'm actually working on a colored picture of him, well this picture with color. this is the line work. i'll probably rant more about my young heroes more later i just wanted to put this up here.

DC. vs. Marvel

it had to come up some time.
i am so a DC girl. but you know what? DC has disappointed me. i went to their website and you know what i found? a very well planed, well organized, white page. you'd think with so many amazing artists out there they could manage to come up with something interesting for the website. animations, cover shots of the newest comics (ok they might have those) bios for all the heroes. there are quite a few you know and many are not well known.
so then i think well maybe they don't need a fancy website they are very well known maybe they are using other forms of advertising. so what do i do? i look to their biggest competitor Marvel. you know what Marvel has? a site full of color with heroes lining the walls, slide-shows and movie-clips.
and now that i think about it Marvel has pulled way ahead in the movie scene as well.
first there was X-men then Blade II, Spiderman, daredevil, X2, hulk, the punisher, spiderman 2, blade: trinity, elektra, Man-thing, fantastic four, X-men: the last stand, ghost rider, spider-man 3, Fantastic Four: rise of the silver surfer, Iron Man, the incredible hulk, Punisher: War Zone, X-men origins: wolverine and Iron man 2
count them: 21 movies just since 2000.
DC movies: the league of extraordinary Gentlemen, Catwoman, Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, Superman Returns, the Dark Knight, the Spirit, Watchmen, and Jonah Hex to come out later this year.
the number: 9
plus Kick-ass to come out later this year again by Marvel so the number is really 22 to 9.
i mean come on DC you're letting Marvel kick your ass.
on the good side the overarching plot for the Marvel comics got terrible reviews (honestlly who turns Captain America into someone who hates America?!) so DC is still ahead on that front at least, well, sort of. ( no one kills off batman and the only saving grace there was that they are bringing him back (along with the rest of the heroes who got killed off needlessly ) )
anyway, i had a point here. in the website battle DC was crushed.

sooooo....

well i haven't posted anything here in months...
let's call this a new beginning. summer is here and with it a bunch of new things at least hopefully... anyway forget all about that old stuff except for random references. this is what i'm doing now.

elsewhere

the reason for my lack of posts is that I've been working of a portfolio website and well all the stuff's been going up there. that and finals oh and March Maddness, and the OCT I've signed up for so... there it is.

Code

so i haven't posted anything in a while, that doesn't mean i haven't been doing things.
in Flash we've been working with action script. I'm going to post my code so far so i can reference it.


package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class Main extends MovieClip
{
var pageOne:PageOne;
var pageTwo:PageTwo;

public function Main()
{
//trace( "hello world");
pageOne = new PageOne;
pageTwo = new PageTwo;
addChild(pageOne);

//ev list
pageOne.buttonOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonOneClick);
pageTwo.buttonReturn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonReturnClick);

}
//ev handler
function onButtonOneClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
removeChild(pageOne);
addChild(pageTwo);
}

function onButtonReturnClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
removeChild(pageTwo);
addChild(pageOne);
}
}

}
