Quotes now?
"A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle. " - Jarhead.
Studied for seven hours straight for an exam that didn't turn out to be as hard as I thought, and the 25-page paper is done and turned in, so this incredibly busy semester's finally over!
Also if my paper was acceptable I may have made an A in each class after all. Now I'm going to do that automatic thing where I alter my memory to tell me that things weren't as stressful or horrible as they really, really were, and think "Yeaaaah you can do all that again no problem, let's go for straight As forever"
It is a very cold place where no matter what you do you cannot get warm and the thought creeps into your head "I will never be warm again."
Clearly you haven't been to central Canada. That's exactly how I feel 6-8 months of the year. : (
I'm just kidding, you're very right. I don't like where I am but there are places much worse.
But London certainly isn't one of them.

Speaking of cold weather though, the temperature is actually crazy warm right now. The other day it was -30C before windchill and I figured it would only get colder but it's only like -10C now, which is beautiful! It would be a great snowman-building day if I didn't have to work. Hopefully it hangs on for the weekend.

I remember during my days in the Phil. Army we were told to treat that rifle like your wife. While in formation, officers would randomly pull the rifle of a random guy… it could be YOU. If your rifle got pulled out, you would most likely be ordered to do (at least) 50 pushups while biting the sling of that rifle. lol!
i wish people would stop idolizing military members.
don't get me wrong. we definitely don't need a repeat of the 60's and 70's, but i think we came to terms that messing up people, who are more than likely already messed up is bad, but it's come to the point that if you say "i don't support the military" it's like you just told someone you kicked a puppy after stealing some candy from a retarded baby.
not all of us put our lives on the line everyday. (anymore than a normal person in their busy day) not all of them put their lives on the line specifically for your freedom (and the ones that do, you will prolly never hear of)
but thanks for not calling us baby killers anymore.

I don't idolize the military. Infact I pity them. Murder is murder weither its in the name of your country or your god. Still doesn't justify it. Just makes it legal if youre in the organization. Men make war. Greed or stupidity continues it.

not all men murder, or even carry weapons.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! I GOT LAID OFF!
Wait, that's not exactly good news, is it?
Apparently my feet have gotten so bad that they started to smell pretty badly. Badly as in "this might be a skin issue and not just dirty feet" badly. As in "I can't get the stink off no matter how much I scrub my feet, it's back the next day after an hour in shoes anyway!".
And then some people complained to the bosses and I'm off for the time being. They'll need people sooner or later so I should get the job back meanwhile I have the time to let them heal, see a doctor if necessary (depending on how this cream I got will work within the next few days) and…
TIME TO DRAW!
So, Saturday and Sunday is cleaning time (need to whip this place into something resembling shape, I have stuff lying all over the floor at this point after all these weeks of 12 hour shifts) and starting Monday my "replacement job" is me drawing comics 8 hours a day. AT least that's theplan anyway. I hope I can do it as such cause otherwise it'll be again a case of "oh man, I had so much free time and I wasted it on not-drawing" rather than "I did all I could" (as it was the case with Din Krakatau).
UI think I'm going to ease myself in back into drawing comics with some short stories so I might actually start updating Carnivore Carnival in 2011.

I know. But you get the general idea. Not saying "youre in the army youre a murderer!". Just saying that with war comes death at the hands of men.
you kicked a puppy after stealing some candy from a retarded baby.But that's my morning routine!
Coming as he does from Northern Ireland, I can see Same's perspective. -military, war, soldiers etc all have a very nasty reputation there.I don't idolize the military. Infact I pity them.not all men murder, or even carry weapons.
Especially when you're a "fenian".
Catholics are treated as a minority here.
Which just goes to show the stupidity of loyalists.
"You're catholic! You want a united Ireland! Go back to your own country!"
This is actual dialogue. I was told this because I don't worship the Queen.
As you can tell Im quite bitter. Especially since my girlfriends dad is a loyalist.
But moving on.
This chicken salad sucks. Chicken salad OF FAILURES
I just spent the past 6ish hours trying to make my new comic characters hot. -_- Not a full six hours because i take breaks every 5 minutes, but a damn long time for redrawing and designing. The queen turned out good but now she's a pain to draw T___T
[quote="itsjustaar']Today I was pulled over by cops who mistook me for someone else. [/quote]What a bunch of useless cocks.
Everyone makes mistakes, but no need to be rough!
But all the while I was in a delicate situation… retaliation could've been nasty.
[/quote]
Oh man. D: That must've been uncomfortable, I'll bet. In the case of the two cops who shined their bright lights on me, they kept ignoring my question as to what they were talking about. "I saw you taking a look at the window, eh? Thinking about stealing something?" I was just kinda like, 'Steal what?' xD Coming from San Jose, and telling a friend now on IM, the citylights and the late starry nights of where I lived there was always beautiful. 'sides, most of DP is out of business anyway, it'll wind up like a long lost Bonanza TV show backdrop anytime soon.
Sometimes I can't help but want to speak nasty to the cops in question. :/ These guys didn't seem like they cared much that I had viable friends and folk who could back me up, and would lock me up either way. I didn't get so much an apology for their mistake, and I doubt they'll ever be gentle in the future. x__x;
Just gotta vent this.
I'm going to throat jack someone if I have another pseudo-intellectual tell me I'm spelling my name wrong and further, I'm an idiot for doing so. Because Disney and Neil Gaiman CLEARLY invented the name and it certainly wasn't from Slavic mythology in the first place. God forbid the possibility that something ever came into being before homogeneous pop culture. And you know, it's not even that they think the name is incorrect. It's more than they're entirely certainly they know the only origin.
cant believe this. One of the glasses in my cupboard suddenly broke a couple days ago… it didnt drop to the floor. Just saw it broken. Then I cut my right hand yesterday… then my right foot today.
In both cuts, I only realized I've been cut at a later time. Saw red stuff on my dishes that ain't ketchup. Thats when I figured out its my blood. Then in the shower, I only realized I cut my foot when I saw the blood going down the drain.
Starting to have one of those foreboding feelings of a bad omen.
Or it can be all coincidence. :) I hope so.
You've never had a glass just break? It seems strange but it does happen. Many things cause it- micro vibration, general wear and tear causing unseen weaknesses… But generally it's just expansion and contraction due to temperature change. It seems really weird, but it's not.
I dunno Kyu, it IS genuinely fun and quite satisfying to see mystical causes behind stuff, so I can understand why people do it. It's cool to do! :)
But realistically that's not what's happening. There's probably no harm, in assigning supernatural causes and divining omens etc, as long as you don't get carried away like that dorksider woman T_T

I like to spell it Tchernobog myself (and yes, I attached this name to one of my long-developing backburner projects).
Well, Saturday was rather uneventful. I drew a couple of doodles (including a face that made me go "wow, I am learning!"), read a bunch of comics and I can happily announce that NOT having to stand for 12 hours seems to be doing good things for my feet (that, and the cream I bought).
Been trying to clean up the mess known as my room, so far only made a bigger mess out of it. I think, rather than try to do it all in one sweep, I should do it five things at a time. That is, pick up five things, relocate them to their right places OR throw htem out and go back to doing other stuff. Then, say 10-20 minutes later, pick another five things. This way I'll be making slow progress and not feel like working hard at all.
Going to try this now.

well I googled it (therefore i am now an expert!) and by all accounts you have the correct spelling :)

It seems really weird, but it's not.I had three glasses "just break" all within about four minutes one time. It was because I had stacked some still-warm-from-the-dishwasher glasses inside some room temperature glasses.

But they didn't break on me. We were moving, and the packers were in the kitchen when the glass started flying.
It cracks me up when HUGE guys get spooked. Anyway, they were actually shaken, and I promised them I'd pack the rest of the glasses so the spooks wouldn't get them.

and so the Voice Contest is Over
Two guesses were suppose to come in by midnight, but as of this writing, we had five guessers and two tied for most guesses at 9 correct: Ozone and Blindsk.
And I guess voices are not the popular thing on a webcomic site. Not too shocking.
