Wow! I'm sorry I haven't been on in the last couple of days. The internet was down. That brings me to my next rant topic: Slow Internet
*Sings her own opening*
Anyways, I really hate slow or broken internet, especially when it happens all of the sudden. I was just on Facebook and then BAM! I was looking at a screen that said: "This webpage is not available."
WTF? Stuff like this totally pisses me off. Mainly because I'm on break and the internet is the only thing I had to do. Um, sort of...
In any case, I'd like anyone who just maybe happens to stumble across this blog to submit their input. 
And then there is slow internet. Take www.deviantart.com for example. I'd say, "Oh, look! Theres an interesting picture!" *click* "Now let me go make a sandwich because this will take an hour and a half! I'll get Tenchu: Fatal Shadows set up, too! Whee!!"
An hour later...
"Oh, ok then! Only half loaded! Let me go get Okami set up!
*Eherm* you get the point. And I just did it, so I'll say another thing I hate: Sticky Keys. Pressing the shift key 5 times in a row or holding it down too long will pop up some window about sticky keys. Fun... NOT! I hate pop up windows!
Anyways, my second topic. Books! I love books!
My brother got me the second 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' book for Christmas. I really enjoyed it! But you do need to read the first one first :) 
And Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Some series without a name that consists of like 15 books the first one being Redwall... it'd take me all day to name all the good books I've read!
I think my favorite book so far is Mossflower, one of the books in the nameless series. I love its descriptions, especially of food... It makes me hungry... 
I'm a writer myself, but I don't think I'll ever write anything good enough to publish. 
Well, that's about it for this rant, but one more thing before I go: Bridge to Terabithia. Read AND watch. All I have to say.

MS Paint rant

So if anyone read yesterdays rant, you may have watched the video. The original, I mean. And maybe you looked at some more and realized that he doesn't use photoshop or anything for photorealism... he uses MS Paint. His 'Dark Girl in MS Paint' he said took him 6 hours(I think, may have been 8), and then I looked at his Nazgul in ms paint. 
20. freaking. hours. Why spend that much time on MS Paint? I say, why not? I'm sure he didn't do it all at once, but who knows? Maybe he's got lots of free time or is on vacation from work... or school... or... maybe he has no life? I care not, because he needs to continue amazing me. I do some MS Paint myself, but not to the extent of photorealism. I could if I tried, but it'd take me like 5 years...
In any case, I encourage you to watch his channel, by the end your jaw will be dropped to the floor. 


That wasn't really a rant, was it? Oh well. In any case, pinkblackhamlett signing off.

Plagiarists Rant

So I was on Youtube the other day, looking at Shukei01's awesome digital art channel. I was watching "How to draw a woman in MS Paint" and then it was time for bed.
As usual, I brushed my teeth and went to bed (And I actually dreamed about MS Paint... it was a really weird dream). I woke up the next morning and I felt like watching it again, so I looked up "Woman in MS Paint" and it took me to the results page where I realized there was a video by someone to awful to even mention and it says: "Just a really quick video of how to draw a woman in MS Paint. OH! And when it says 'by shukei' at the end, shukei is just one of my game names, so yeah... enjoy!"

I was like, "Really? I mean really." There were MOUNDS of evidence piled against him. If you're going to plagiarize, do it right. 
First piece of evidence: His other MS Paint videos totally suck. I'm MH2girl, you can read my comments and stuff.
Second piece of evidence: His video is in horrible quality where as the original is fine.
Third piece of evidence: In his 'best MS Paint works'(Made AFTER he plagiarized) it isn't listed because he only downloaded the video.
Fourth piece of evidence: The video was released WAY after the original release date. 
I hate people sometimes! They just tick me off! I want to leap through the screen to that guy and say, "You suck and have no talent," and then punch him in the face. 
So this was my quick rant about something I really, really, REALLY hate. Don't plagiarize, please.
