@2 As far as my experience is panning out, grad school might be killing as many brain cells as it is helping to develop. Grad school should be difficult, of course, but I've had some professors take this to the extreme.

...not to deter you in any way. I suppose the moral of my story is to make darn sure you know as much of what your program entails before you go into it. And you've probably been learning some good life skills during that 1.5 year break. I wish I'd taken one.

I'm not sure those companies would want people shooting their cartoon characters, villainous or not. Maybe some of the more grownup movie bad guys? But I can't think of any good ones at the moment..maybe the Terminator?

I live in Bellingham, and not too long ago I saw a flyer for:

Nude Loaf
Muppet Fetish
The Vomiting Vaginas

Hmm...cute, but...couldn't you just cut some holes in an old towel? You could even hem the edges if you wanted...

Why do they so rarely include relevant pictures with stories like this? I was expecting a picture of the painting, and instead there's this couch picture.

That is so cool...does anyone know when or where this will be available?

You don't need to wait for the Japanese, Phasor, there are already quite a few of those on the market.
