Kia Stevens (Kharma): Why she kicks ass

  • Kia Stevens, also known by her ring name Kharma, is an American professional wrestler, best known for her time in TNA and WWE.
  • She is trained in joshi puroresu (Japanese women’s wrestling) and mixed martial arts.
  • She holds her own in co-ed events; in 2006 she and Aja Kong won the co-ed the Hustle Super Tag Team Championship.
  • Her awards include the WWWA World Championship, the NWA World Women’s Championship, the AWA Superstars of Wrestling World Women’s Championship and a two-time TNA Knockout Champion.
  • She also doubles with Aja Kong in the tag team Double Kong, and worked with wrestler Ayako Hamada to win the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship (Hamada is also one of her favorite opponents).
  • She was ranked first in Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Top 50 Females.

I like her.

THAT EXPRESSION. It’s amazing.

Be still my heart.

I bought the Half-Life collection on Steam because it was on sale.  I’m stuck in the moat in HL chapter 3 and I have no idea how to a) get out of the moat, and b) get across the moat in the event that I am able to get back up onto the side I came from.

I tried pushing the crates into the water and jumping across on them, but they sink too fast. :/

tlaloc4kids said: I’m really behind on the times with this movie and I just barely saw the trailer but…1) is that GLaDOS’ voice and 2) is there more of it?

YESSSSS. Ellen McLain voices the mecha AI and it’s awesommmmmmmmme.  GDT got permission from Valve and everything.

They ended up using a slightly different tonal effect in the film, but you can still tell it’s Ellen McLain. :D

Every now and then, I remember Brian Shaffer, the guy who went missing near OSU campus in 2006.  I never knew the guy, but the story was real big around here for a long time before it just… faded away.  Still unsolved. They’ve never even found a body or anything.

I just learned that Brian’s father passed away in an accident a couple years ago, and his mother passed away a few weeks before he went missing.  So his brother is the last remaining member of the family.  That’s gotta be hard.  It’s really sad.

So anyways, as I was reading some old articles about this, I was starting to psyche myself out, so I pulled up the ol’ iTunes for some background music to calm my nerves.

Behold, the Scumbag Shuffle:

First track: Once in a Lifetime. (Talking Heads)

Second track: Runaway Train. (Soul Asylum)

Third track: Escape. (Muse)

STOP FREAKING ME OUT, iTUNES.

the only good part of Independence Day: a slut shaming FLOTUS gets put in her place by Vivica A Fox

O, there were more than one of those good parts, but this I love. Talking about being a good mom, taking care of her kid, humanizing her. Elevating her position in the plot relative to others around her, not demonizing her blackness or her woman-ness. Loved it.

i watched this on the 4th and had to give handsnaps because she’s my favorite in the movie. and her son and their dog lol

Favorite 4th of July movie.

I love watching this movie inside with a/c on the 4th. I also fucking LOVE Vivica A Fox’s response (including her face) and that Will Smith’s character sticks by her.

Jasmine is pretty much the smartest character in the whole movie.

Little nugget of advice that really changed the way I approached painting. When I started blending like this it was a real turning point for my art quality.

Forgot to add that lighting conditions and other variables in a piece make the hardness you want to choose somewhat variable. Drawing things like skin is more of a hardness range than it is a hard rule. 

Eheh…get it? Hard rule? (aaaaaaaaaand i’m done). 

Haa thanks, I can’t even put into words how unappealing the overuse of a soft brush is when rendering. There have even been otherwise expertly painted images that were (in my opinion) ruined by that overly soft ‘airbrush’-y look that soft edged brushes give off. 

I mean, I just really hate soft edged brush in most cases. It’s definitely the fact that you can’t read any real confidence in the brush strokes of a soft edged brush. It makes it really difficult to nail down any solid shapes or forms in your painting. Weak vagueness both in brush strokes and with shape and form is generally not a good thing when painting.

 If I can tell a soft edge brush was used (a lot) in an image, I probably won’t like how it’s been applied.

Seconded, started doing this awhile ago, really is nice.

Forty-three years of this.

Apparently my last name is full of invisible consonants.

Everyone always assumes “Louis" for the first and I have a drawer full of mispronounciations for Lovhaug.

Both, in fact!  If they mess up my first name, it’s usually “Alexandria.”

But my last name.  The E’s are soft, not hard.
