Whatever you do, don't watch The Middle tonight

[graywarrior]

It looks like a cheap rendition of Malcolm in the Middle and stars (barf) Patricia Heaton.

But Cougar Town is funnier than I thought it would be.

Whatever....I'm doing homework tonight anyhow.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. Modern Family was pretty funny last week.

So I'll be watching that again.

[graywarrior]

3. That was pretty good!

[Richardo]

2. Cougar Town is very estrogen-y

I didn't care for it much, but someone else in the house did.

[graywarrior]

4. Mr Gray walked out on it...lol.

[Richardo]

5. Hey me too!

:pals: <-- me and Mr Gray.

[graywarrior]

6. He has the same name without the O!

I hope you're not a Gemini. That would make 4 of youse.

[Call Me Wesley]

7. I won't.

I have this one to watch:



I'll tell you when I reach the nineties ...

Please open Adobe Illuminator. Tonight, we're gonna make an illustration that shows a woman in fetal position. Please sketch a woman in fetal position and scan it in. Open Illuminator, and you need to bring a curving line to a sharp turn, click on where the curve will end (heh-heh-heh, I said 'curves!'), click-drag your mouse to create the curve before the sharp turn (don’t worry about the vector line on the far side of the point. When you get the curve before the point where you want it, let up on the button, but before you make your next point – click one time on the point you just made. This will eliminate the bezier handle that runs through the point. When you place your next point, the line from the previous point will come out straight from that point. The bezier will make you look like vectors, which isn't very flattering, but we're not finished yet. If you take the bezier into vectors, or use the vectors in bezier mode (hit ctrl-alt-del,) you'll get into polygon mode and soft-shape the meshes.

While you are drawing these knock-out shapes you may want to ignore little detail lines that might be hard to draw. If for instance you have some cross-hatching lines that extend from a large black shape – I won’t try to draw them both at the same time. I will start by just drawing the black shape, then will go back and draw the hatch-lines. I can merge these shapes using the Pathfinder tool later if I want to. Well, you don't need to do that, anyway, but it sounds good is I say it.

You're almost there. The fetal shape is lined out nicely, and now we add some details ...

Once you have all of your interior shapes in place, you’ll now need to knock them out of your outline. You will do this by
1. Grouping all of the interior shapes. (Groupies! You'll love them!)
2. Bringing these grouped interior shapes to the front: Object>Arrange>Bring To Front (Think about it! We all want to be in front!)
3. Selecting both your grouped interior shapes and your outline. (Let me see your outline, hold it, that's good, whoaa!)
4. Clicking on the knock-out (or “subtract”) function of your pathfinder tool. (BOYSCOUTS! YOU NEED BOYSCOUTS!!!111!!!!)
5. Fill with black! (or whatever color you want your lines.) (How frakkin' racist is this? Don't do it. Fill with pink!)

Another way to draw lines of varying weight without drawing the inside and then the outside of each line is to just draw a single vector line down the center of your intended line. Then you “stroke” this line with a brush. "Stroke!" Call 911? Quick!

There, you have a perfect woman in fetal position. SERIESLY!

Now delete the file. Thank you for your patience.

9. Yipes.

8. Countdown tonight, and then maybe Ken Burns National Parks.

[graywarrior]

10. Death of a Salesman with Lee J. Cobb.

[bigwillq]

11. Glee is awesome.

I wanted to see Modern Family, but it's on the same time as Glee.

[graywarrior]

12. Oh crap, I wanted to see that too!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. I tried to watch Glee, just can't get into it.

Don't know why, I just found it boring. My wife likes it, but I go with Modern Family at that time.

[bigwillq]

20. That's ok.

It's not for everyone. No show is. I don't judge! :)

[txwhitedove]

13. Of course you're right! Why would we want to watch Patricia Heaton anyway?

Besides, this is Glee night and it's awesome.

[Skip Intro]

14. I hate to say it, but I thought it was funny.

[merh]

15. I refuse to watch a show with Patricia Heaton

I am boycotting Dancing With the Stars until Delay is gone too. x(

I have standards, you know.

:silly:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. I actually did see it. It was okay, but...

....obviously an imitation of Malcolm and the Middle, sans Malcolm. It wasn't laugh out loud funny like Malcolm was its first couple of seasons, but it was chuckleworthy. But it channeled Malcolm down to the appearance and mannerisms of the characters--stressed out mom (Lois), goofy laid back dad (Hal), oddball youngest kid (Dewey). Still, it wasn't that bad. And I really don't care about Patricia Heaton one way or another, so that's not a factor.

The Kelsey Grammer sitcom (I don't even remember its name), on the other hand, was horrendous. Don't waste your time on that.

18. I didn't but wanted to until I found out Ms. Hateon was in it.

The Janitor from 'Scrubs' is also in the cast.

*yes i misspelled it on porpoise*

19. Too busy switching between the Phils and "Mad Men" on demand

One positive thing about taking care of my elderly dad - he's got On Demand!!!!!

God Bless Matthew Weiner and the Mad Men writers. Geniuses.
