I still have some image gallery issues I’m working through because they are numbered differently than they were the last time due to me not re-creating the Invader Zim galleries. In some ways, I’m kind of glad that this happened because it forced me to update my WordPress sites to the latest software. As Cory had commented a few posts before, this is a pretty nice new version (2.7) and now that they’ve got the auto update feature in place, I should be able to keep up without fretting that I’m going to break the site every time they release an update.

Hidden porn links galore… barf…

I’ve upgraded to the latest and greatest version of WordPress now and hopefully the new “auto-updates” feature will keep me in line this time.

So while I was able to save some of the old posts via an export file, many of them I’m having to re-create by hand from an old snap-shot back-up I have of the site. Pages and Galleries are being re-created too, so it’s going to be a bit “broken for a little while.

The Invader Zim Gallery will be last, and I’m thinking of dropping it completely. It was a huge project to build, but the original version I built can still be found at the old badbadrubberpiggy.com website.

We got to see friends from Arizona that we haven’t seen in a long time. We also go to spend Sunday evening at lake Michigan and enjoy the beach with the kids. I’ll try to get some pictures posted soon.

I also got to waste some more time working on the Invader Zim Screenshot Gallery. Now complete for your obsessive pleasure are Bestest Friends, Nanozim, Germs, Dark Harvest, and Attack of the Saucer Morons. Have fun and don’t forget to tip your waitress!

It will actually have more than the original version including the alternate scene from “Door to Door” as well as the cut scene from “Abducted”. For now, there are four complete episodes up; the Pilot episode, The Nightmare Begins, Parent Teacher Night, and Walk of Doom. Seven others have been started and the rest will follow as I can get the time. You can see it as it grows here in the Uber Zim Gallery.

Now I need to get to bed. I hate when I’m not tired…

The gallery feature I’m using to display them this time around is a bit cumbersome when dealing with this many images. I’ve got the basic structure down now and I’ve got the Pilot episode as well as most of Parent Teacher Night done. I’ll be getting more done (each day hopefully) until the entire series is back up. See the Zim Images now!

i certainly hope you’re not expecting too much of this little project. i took these pictures for my niece, who i had been chatting with a few nights earlier. i tried to explain what happens when you microwave a marshmallow and told her to give it a whirl. she regretfully informed me that they had no marshmallows. i was sad for her… :(

so then i began and realized that i couldn’t withhold this wonderful pictorial from the rest of the word. i started here with two marshmallows. notice the red ears and the glistening forehead. ah you have to love summer and all the sweaty discomfort it brings us all…

me with marshmallows, what a sight...

i had to find a nice plate to place them on. i couldn’t use plastic of coarse, i was already planning to make a small mess, so there was no need for a nasty melted plastic smell to add to the air. i settled for this small plate because it looked like it would be easy to clean later..

ah, two perfect gelatinus ooze-fluffs...

in to the microwave they go! i tried this for the first time camping at pearl lake in beloit, wi with my buddy eric at the age of 11 or 12. we used my parent’s little microwave in their camper. i always slept in a tent, i just didn’t like camping in a small house on wheels. so, back on subject, the marshmallows. oooh! look at those splotches of food! i’m going to get in trouble for showing the inside of the microwave… :)

all ready for marshmallow torture...

so there i was standing in my kitchen with my wife wondering what on earth i was doing
holing the camera at the microwave. i started it up, the marshmallows started growing, and i snapped the first shot. poof! stupid flash…

stinking flash!

back to the drawing table a bit, i decided to run the microwave and just open the door
every 10 seconds or so. this seemed to work pretty well, though each time i stopped it, the marshmallows shrunk just a tad during the moments between opening the door and getting the shot off. my wife continued to think me insane. wow! look at that chunk of food! :) so they grew…

so it begins...

and grew…

they keep going...

and grew some more…

and going, and going, and going...

and there you have it folks, two huge mutated marshmallows that just took a nuclear bath. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing i live right between three nuclear power plants…

two hideous blobs of doom!

the aftermath was disturbing as well. they just slowly shrank, and shrank, and shrank some more until they were smaller than when they started. just more dense. i had to try one…

what goes up, must come down...

and i regretted it… they taste *really* nasty after you nuke them. nothing at all like roasting them over an open flame… trust me…

um, yeah...

i hope you enjoyed this little demonstration. it was not originally intended for public consumption, but what the hey… :)
