"It'll Feel Good When It Stops Hurting" by Sairobee

A 30 year old storyboard artist who has a Tumblr named "Sairobee" (sometimes there are no proper names on the ol' Tumblr, kids), writes and draws "It'll Feel Good When It Stops Hurting," a story about the death of her father.

No Scanner

My Canon Canoscan LiDE 25 scanner cannot scan. I get a "no driver found" message as of 6am this morning, and Canon offers no drivers for this scanner. That's what their own web page says, along with the advice to call them and have a chat.

Ugh.

Life without a scanner is not good.

Stand by.

EDIT: This scanner is no longer supported for the operating system I have. I was advised to go and consume a new scanner.

Not happy. Not happy at all, Canon!

Video: Chuck Jones' A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1971)

OK, it's the Holiday season. Let's go watch an Oscar-award-winning adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, executive produced by Chuck Jones with the voice of Alastair Sim as Scrooge! For now, there's only one -- just one place -- to see this: YouTube.

It's not on DVD. Ands that's crummy. This show has some serious pedigree; the guy who brought us THE GRINCH (the cartoon, not the Jim Carrey monster) is the executive producer and it's directed by the animation director of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. I remember seeing it in 1971, and once or twice since then -- but only by chance. It's not a holiday TV tradition ala CHARLIE BROWN or those Rankin Bass puppet specials or the MISTER MAGOO special. Go figure!

YouTube's rules means a 28 minute vid has to be sliced up into smaller segments. Here are the links if you have the time to watch.

EDIT: Hey, here's an all-in-one (no segments) upload here. Thank you, 310revelation.

Thanks to Grant Miehm for reminding me of this special, which I had forgotten about until now!
