i should be packing…who wants to help me move?
—————————
Oh man. i just remembered who the co-worker was that died (don't shame me, i have 800 co-workers). Wow. great guy. fun. man. this sucks. screw the internet. i'm going back to finish packing.
God Boursin is the most awesome thing ever, it's this really soft cheese with garlic, chives, white pepper and all this other stuff perfect for crackers. I wish america were more of a cheese culture, even good brie is expensive and i hear that's like common stuff elsewhere.
My laptop is seriously pissing me off. It'll just freeze up and the ctrl+alt+delete and shutdowm button does nothing. So in order to shut it off i have to pull the laptop battery out, god knows what kind of problems that's causing, and reattach.
Man….can't wait til next week when i get my comics though :) I've managed to keep a casual one page per week thing since the two pages failed. 5 more weeks and i can color and letter! :0 yaaaaayyyy
Edit: i seriously thought this a comic making fun of all the things not to do when making a webpage and comic, holy sh*t it's actually not

Have you tried using air duster, to dust it out? It may be over heating, and freezing up.
And these days a hard power cycle isn't going to hurt much. it may currupt a file you're working on, but the operating system should be able to handle it.
I found out that the bank has just been stringing me along for 3 months about giving me a loan because they didn't want to outright reject my request and maybe lose my business. So now, after they waited so long to tell me, it means I've got about a month to make $2,500 magically appear for this term's tuition or I get kicked out. That career opportunity with the Navy is starting to sound like a better and better idea.
I've been drawing all night. It's 6am. I'm going to bed. I'm buggered.
Oh, I had a dream yesterday night that I showed my bicorn hat to my dad and he laughed and said it looked gay. Yesterday morning my dad came over and I finally got to show him my bicorn hat. He laughed and said it looked gay. :)
Psychic dream!!!!!!!!!
…Naw, I just know my dad that well.
G'nite

Owch… Hopefully you get a nice enlistment bonus and chances for gaining education within the Navy if you decide to go that route. I think the Army would be a better route unless you're immune to sea sickness…
Finished reading Mein Kampf.
Now I have a clearer understanding of why the average German was brainwashed into thinking that the Jews are responsible for everything that's wrong.
I could just imagine if I happened to be born in that time period. Back then there's no internet… so I'd probably fall for the kool-aid for awhile. I'd probably start questioning reality when I see Jewish women and children being given brutal deaths. Or maybe members of my own family or friends being arrested for questioning the fuhrer.
Its sad that there seems to be validity in Hitler's statement that the average person is too simple minded.
Its true even today.
Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense about global warming and getting vaccinated and that fluoride is good. Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense about terrorists lurking at every corner and therefore theres a need to spy on everyone and be a nation of tattle tales who call the cops at the drop of a hat. Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense that only males are capable of domestic violence and women are not. Lots of people fall for this whole nonsense of increasing the size of government and that government really exists to help you and keep you safe.
I'd bet my bottom dollar on this: If one day the mainstream institutions of society (media, government, churches, etc.) repeated the same propaganda as Nazi Germany, I bet the majority of people will follow along like sheep. They'd believe it all. That the Jews are the reason for everything that is wrong.

Yeah. Seasickness only bothered me once when I was little. On a bigger ship I don't much notice it.
I'm going to call on a few clients who still owe me money for illustration and design work and see if I can't scrape enough together to get it paid up that way before I just up and enlist. I know I have at least one past client who has a $1000+ tab that he's going to have to pay on soon.
I don't care how tech savvy they are, never let your friends use your computer. Or shoot your gun for that matter.
Last two times I let my buddy use my PC, he deleted all my temp files and bookmarks, and this time, two viruses in five minutes. I let him take over repairs while I was playing a game, and now I can't use windows task manager or AIM.
And I let another friend shoot my USP. Forty bullets later the firing pin is broken.
I know my shit isn't in the best condition, and that's why letting others play with it is a bad idea. They're just as good with their own stuff, but somehow… SOMEHOW THEY ALWAYS END UP BREAKING MINE!!!
No pc damage from friends (so far) but other people used to break my toys when I was a kid. Until this very day I have this weird thing that if I see someone playing around with something belonging to me, I quickly take it away from their hands, haha.
But hey, I was given a toy piano when I was little… guess what, a pair of kids broke it before I got to play it. Years later I got a "sort of radio controlled" car (sort of as the controller was wired to the car, haha). Well, my older brother and his friend took it over and as a result? I NEVER got to play it as they broke it on the very first night. And so on…
Until I learned myself to break my own toys few years later :D

I'm thinking of picking one of my shorter project ideas and doing it as a 40-50 page oneshot. Maybe then I'll have something to sell that'll actually sell :P
My scanner isn't working. I have to use the disk it came with to fix it but I lost it. So now its just a printer. So now when FS5 comes around I'm going to have to use pant or gimp with a mouse instead of using pen and paper. This sucks so much. I just started getting back my creative mojo and I can't do anything D:<

Oh god, I'm the other way around. Even if I have permission, even if the other person doesn't care, I refuse to borrow anything because I'm convinced I'll lose or break it.
Wow.. some crazy minister (I won't mention which faction, except that they like to come up to your door and talk to you every Sunday) is on the radio urging people not to celebrate the "sinister" holiday called "Halloween" because it steers us away from the Almighty. I sometimes wonder if this guy has his mind someplace else other than reality. In this day and age it's supposed to be a holiday for the kids, but either he doesn't care or he sees something that I don't…
@seventy2
That's a really good idea with the air duster…i'll try that thanks

Ahh i was so tired when i left my friends house but as soon as i get in the door at home my energy goes '8D'. Man i don't know what to do with it now, hopefully it'll drain in 30 minutes.
My cat was so happy to see me though, i almost felt kinda bad for staying out until 4am defeating the covenant forces.
huuuge exam on the 30th, i still can't shake the feeling that my online teacher wants us to fail the class, just the little things in her messages and total uninvolved with the class are pointing to it. (biiiiitttch)
Online teachers usually are bitches for some reason. I don't think I've ever had one who wasn't consumed with anger issues. My favorites are the ones who like to put things on the test that aren't in the book or any of the course material anywhere.

Goddang. designing notebook covers is freakin' hard. I feel like I should be working with the fact that it's a notebook and being all clever and conceptual with it, but I just want to make a bunch of good-looking images and forget the cleverness.
