Is that a table beside Rusti?

I love the attention he's giving her. Makes every lover of Op wish they were her...like me!

Aww! I'm so glad you liked the pic! And yes, that is a table... it's described in the story; she's so happy to get furniture and a drawing tablet (with real paper, not another digipad) Chapter 11 will be released next week!

Thank you!!! It was a little more difficult with this one because there seemed to be no direct light source. LOL I initially colored the outside of the _Crested Moon_ a typical Autobot yellow but it looked really cheezy. So I 'chromed' it instead. It turned out much better.

Sometimes person need to step from the all-too-obvious typical choices to achieve desired goal. Maybe it is that called art.
I think, chrome suits autobot ships better that standard colors. Typical orange-yellow scheme bugged me from the start of series.

There are some people who, when they give you their attention, you get ALL their attention. I think Optimus is one of them. He doesn't just focus, he zeros in so as not to miss a single thing. I think they actually demonstrated that in TF3. Have you seen that yet?

maddog78 In reply to Koontah [2011-07-09 05:37:01 +0000 UTC]

No I have been pulling 50 hour weeks at minimum and my days off are groceries, cleaning etc and by the time I am done I am asleep. My daddy hasn't seen it either so my mom hinted that we would see it all together. He loves Bayformer Bumblebee so much being a Chevy fan that he is saving for a Camaro. I have read spoilers, so I haven't told him about his favorite bot I think he has one Bumblebee banner and a poster of him from the first two movies. I only got Optimus poster this round, but I have a huge Bumblebee banner that my dad fell in love with. Naturally I will take it for him since he helped us with turning our jungle into a front yard at our rental house.

I could definitely see that in Optimus, he is definitely the type to give you his full attention no matter who you are.

Ahh, the perks of working in a theater! I sure love the fact that I am the proud owner of a Fellowship of the Ring poster I used to have SOOO many posters, but I gave up the majority of them when we moved out of California. I never put them on the walls, so I didn't see the use of having something I never used.
I think it's cute that your dad loves Bumblebee. I wished my dad had been that open-minded. >.< But oh well.
And I hope you plan to take a few days off in September/October! Geeze, you work way too hard!

Tell me about it just got home from helping a fellow location out and its 4:40am got to be back to work at 12pm! Harry Potter....damn.... My body hurts, but it was fun at the same time and my 4 employees who joined me ROCKED! Okay time to catch some zzzzs. I will be reading your journal when I get home around 10pm tonight Oh yeah and they had a Optimus banner to which I asked "can I has please?" as I stared longingly at it.

they had BETTER give you that Optimus banner!!!! they will not want to have to answer to ME! And ohmigod, Maddog, you SO need a vacation! I've heard Harry Potter was sad... *sigh* I can't see it until it comes out on DVD, unless it's still out by next weekend. I'd just like to know: does Harry die?

maddog78 In reply to Koontah [2011-07-16 11:49:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh she knows I want it and I groveled enough for it so I think I have it. I took Bumblebee tonight and he is sitting in the trunk awaiting his trip to my parental units tomorrow. I would go see the movie, but the parental units offered to take me with them to The Bite of Seattle and since I did not eat much the last two days the idea of eating my way through an event that helps cater to upcoming restaurants and has some fair food sounds too good to pass up. Oh and my brother's band Ageless Stranger is playing

I am not sure if Harry dies, I am horrible and have only seen the first Harry Potter Everybody walking out of the movie loved it though and said it was awesome. If you really want to know I can ask my friend who was at the midnights She would tell me, she told me about Ironhide and took another jab at me for not having a chance to see the movie.

Koontah In reply to maddog78 [2011-07-18 15:12:41 +0000 UTC]

That was cruel that she jabbed at you over Ironhide. But since his character was so badly underdeveloped, it made no emotional impact in the movie. But hey, he was a Bayformer, not G1. Sooo... Fanfiction still makes it all fair game.
I did not know your brother was in a band!! VERY COOL!! What type of music do they play??
Mmmmm... a food fair! What fun! I'd love to attend something like that! Okay, now I'm hungry! And now that I've had a weekend off, I"m ready to get back to DSR this week!
Get some sleep! And I'll be seeing Harry Potter this Thursday.

My brother has 3 bands the one we went to is rock music with a female singer by the name of Ageless Stranger [link] then there is Supernothing which is punk which he plays in and this band was asked to go to Germany, the third one I can't remember the name to but its more industrial rock and also a female singer. He plays bass and guitar and I know he has more feed back on the punk band than the other two, but he knew that and is using that one to push the other two in as well.

We got really full and since the IMAX was right there my dad were going to watch DOTM while the food digests for round two, but it was all Harry Potter so we pouted off to more food.

Koontah In reply to maddog78 [2011-07-23 10:09:31 +0000 UTC]

DOTM was a good film, but Harry Potter had that edge that made it just a little bit better. But at least TF3 was a good film-far, far better than the second one!
I think it's awesome that your brother is flexible with his music and geeze! quite talented! I wish him all the luck and love in the world!

I FINALLY am going to watch the 9:50 showing of DOTM tomorrow night because my fellow GM (the one I called MGM in previous message) decided she needs a good fighting movie with all the work crap to take her mind off things so she is taking me with her. I heard nothing but good stuff about HP7 and might go see it even though I have only seen the very first one.

Koontah In reply to maddog78 [2011-07-26 18:57:10 +0000 UTC]

HP7 IS GOOD! I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm also pleased to hear Transformers is such a huge hit in China. Maybe someone returned a little dignity to my fave fandom. Geeze, is that even possible, anymore? It'll take a couple of decades for the whole Bayformers stigma to wear off.

maddog78 In reply to Koontah [2011-07-27 02:00:19 +0000 UTC]

Have to agree with that, my one employee has not seen any of the Bayformers and asked me which one was the best my reply "I will bring you Transformers 1986 it is the best". So now I have to remember to bring it tomorrow. The Sam/Bumblebutt freeway scene of screaming cracked me up since he sounded like a girl. The Hide beating on Op's hood and saying he was mad took me off guard it did not seem naturally when thinking G1, but then again they seem pretty close in all the universes so I guess it could happen but I could not see Hide disrespectful like that it would be more of a private moment between the two. Op tearing the scrap out of Megs with his axe and one arm was actually a high light for me I kinda like Op's badass side there in the movie. I thought finally he just goes for it before he is offed! Made me pee my panties a little

ROTFLMAO!! You're a fangirl after my own heart, Maddog! I really enjoyed TF3. It was *almost* back to basics. And I LOVE your little nickname: Bumblebutt-can I use that? LOL It's priceless.
I wish they'd go back and completely redo TF2. But maybe they'll have a fourth movie not soiled by Mickey Bay's hands.

You know he will find a way to ruin another movie if he can. I will have to send Trooper his way to claw his hands up. Trooper is on this "I rule, get the hell out of my way" attitude lately. He tried to growl and slap the pizza delivery driver's leg 10 minutes ago. Who would have guessed from a cat? He is definitely a Decepticon.
