I'm going to get to the bottom of this…

Baww. I've caught whatever sickness that has been floating around my household and town just now. Good thing I've got off of work until Sunday, otherwise I'd be pretty screwed. Finally managed to score my license too! So that's two things off of my list of things I need to do (being job, and license).
Now I need to find out about becoming a hooke-….wat.

well it sure is faster to me and somehow I feel like they've changed the contrast between the yellow colour and the green…

This place does seem a bit quiet, but I've never been a regular forum goer here.
EDIT: Aaaaand I just quoted a months old post…-_-

How did all that stuff pile up around the stage? And why haven't I set up the properties?

That'll take a full day at least.

Wow…. Halloween is coming. And I'm working that night. I better hope I don't have to deal with drunkards walking the streets going door to door and "Trick or Treating" for beer like they tried to last year (called the police on them that time)… -_-

I had Friday off- woo! Public holiday; Queen's Birthday- Not that her Birthday was on that day, it's just a public holiday the state government can move around as it likes. This year it was because a commonwealth heads of government meeting in my city, where apparently some important pieces of British law were announced:
Now the eldest female in the royal line can become head of state and the monarch is allowed to marry a catholic.

…

Anyway, I missed out on the whole day because I had a nightmare migraine: vomiting, nausea, nightmare head-pain… It was horrible. So instead of having 3days off, I only have the normal two now :(

Heh… went and got my reservation for ME3 today. Especially after seeing gameplay video of the new moves you can pull off. Especially the OMNI-BLADE. Yeah. It's a blade made out of a hologram. And you can actually sneak up on your opponent, pull him out of cover and drive that blade into him. Um… among other things… er… see for yourself.

Christmas in October???
So, it's snowing here in NY, the earliest snowfall I can remember. It's SO wierd watching AMC's horror fest while pretty snow's falling. Michael Meyers during a blizzard? Feels so out of whack!
Maybe they should've done a slasher movie in a cold-weather place…"Freddy's Nightmare In the Alps" or "Jason in Utah"…be just as wierd as it is today.

Ugh… I wish I had your weather right now. I've had to cut vegetation around my house during the day in the rain. Grass grows really fast out here. O_O

So I went outside yesterday..had fun, spent money and was wearing a failed costume. I was a hipster in disguise (a striped hood and wearing a leather jacket over it) but it failes 'cause it was missing the pretentious glasses -.-

You lucky peeps. We don't traditionally do Halloween here. People have been starting to try and do stuff more and more over recent years, but it's still just a rather naff import, sort of like when you see them "celebrating" Christmas in China- a little embarrassing and slightly wrong.

It's only kids that can really do it here and even then it's pretty weak. :(

———–

It's that time of year again. I have to do my taxes. -_-
You know you're an adult when you have to do your fricken taxes!!!! I should've done them weeks ago… tomorrow is the very last day I can leave it to. Lucky I can do it all online these days.

I fricken HATE taxes!
-I don't mind actually paying them, because that's all pretty well done painlessly in sales and pay deductions, what I hate is doing the returns because it reminds me of filling in all those torturous forms and tests and exam sheets I had to do back in highschool and I really detested that stuff.

Got a new computer yesterday… and I have already managed to break it! I was trying to partition the hard drive, and to make a long story short I have a good 1TB of disk space I can't even access! I called an IT expert (i.e. my father) and he's completely stumped.
It made me kick a chair, and now my toe hurts…

Posted at 12:10AM, Oct. 31, 2011

Maybe you need to just reformat the partition? make sure it's in an nfts file structure.

Posted at 12:10AM, Oct. 31, 2011

Ugh… looks like I have to buy a new hard drive for this machine. The drive is already at its limit… most hard drives will only last for around 5 years. On the bright side, larger drives are cheaper now. Not that I need that much space…

Posted at 1:10AM, Oct. 31, 2011

1 bazillion exabytes is the only way to go Lonne! Srsly. >:|
Building my own speedy sooper machine will be my next project whenever I get around to getting a new laptop… I just love my current case so I want to gut it all out and start again, but if I do that I need a powerful replacement in the mean time…

@ Gunwallace- LOVED that "THIS IS ENGLAND, NOT AMERICA" Fry and Laurie vid you liked to about Halloween :)
Perfection!

Skoolmunkee is teh evil!

She never ever told me there was a new DLC for Mass Effect 2 available… That Arrival thing has been out since April or something and I never knew till last night. So instead of doing my taxes I had to jump in and do the mission! …I didn't complete it though, I realised at 1.30am that I was leaving my taxes a leeeeetle late. I ended up finishing on my taxes at 3.30 am. Not quite enough sleep after that I'm afraid. I am so fricken tired right now, early bed tonight!

Posted at 4:10AM, Oct. 31, 2011

Isn't Arrival (for Mass Effect 2) the DLC that links ME2 to ME3? I haven't decided on downloading it yet. I probably should do so along with every other DLC for Mass Effect 2 because every decision will probably be reflected in Mass Effect 3. I read the wiki for ME2 and find myself creeped out that a ton of fans requested that Tali and Garrus be love interests for the game. This seems to be parodied in Illium's Eternity (I think that's the name of the club/bar/lounge) with that Turian and Quarian talking. I'm beginning to find Samara interesting though…

Ugh… I feel sick at the moment. I was supposed to work on Magiversity and Magiversity Magical Campus Life, but instead I spent the last 5 hours in bed. Luckily my 2 days off this week will start tomorrow, so I'll have time to draw if I'm not feeling TOO sick. Still trying to decide on how to start the slice of life comic I'm attempting to try…

I'm so awfully tempted to make a parody video of Nyan Cat where Nyan Cat is suddenly grabbed from the stars (screaming "NYAAAAN!!! NYAAAAAANNNNN!! once off camera). The next scene is a guy holding the a strawberry Pop Tart with the hind legs and tail of Nyan Cat sticking out and his face covered in strawberry filling. He gulps down what's in his mouth, turns to the camera and says "What?"…

Not that I could make a video anyway…

The talk of hard drives got me thinking, I only have six gig spare on my hard drive… that will go wuick, time to get a new one, 2TB I think, cheap enough and should be enough storage for my comic work…

Posted at 5:10AM, Oct. 31, 2011

I've built up layers of portable hard drives and memory sticks so that I occasionally purge files onto back-up back-ups for long term storage and have the portables ready to go whereever I need to do my work.

I have gigs and gigs of space left over. Considering that the files for my last two comics are each over 15 GB got to keep moving files around as I create more stuff.

Posted at 7:10AM, Oct. 31, 2011

all of this PC talk – and I, too, was busy trying to update me ol machine for hours this weekend.

Finally have the OS up to snuff (screw windows 7, now tht I Finally have xp updated), but have realized that my CD/DVD burner is now only a CD burner, and needs to be replaced. I guess an external is the best way to go, since this PC is 6? years old.

anybody have some recommendations? or any stay-away-froms?

Posted at 6:10PM, Oct. 31, 2011

Ugh… this stinks. I've had to restart my computer a lot of times now because my secondary drive is failing rapidly and I'm trying to get as much data as I can off of it and onto my main drive. Too bad the drive becomes undetectable after being read from after a few minutes.
