I've said it before and I will say it again: Titles are not my strong point. Especially when I know I'm just going to ramble about random stuff.
Today marks the three week mark until move out day. Excited? Yes. Packed? Partially. I started packing last week and have pretty much gotten to the point where's there's nothing left to pack save what I'm currently using (Xbox, computer, TV, that stuff). I suppose I could pack up my pots and pans and malarky, but eh...
I did wind up trading Pokemon (and a myriad of other games) in and picked up a copy of Puzzle League. It's good, but it definitely is NOT Tetris Attack. Ranked matches... well there really aren't ranked matches. The closest thing is the "Birthday Mode" which ranks you against people with the same birthday. I'm number one... and the only person on the list. Not many people play PPL online. Another thing that cheeses me off is the difficulty level; it's too easy. There's really slow, slow and about what would equate to normal in TA. Nothing in between. The music sucks too. It's just standard ambient/techno type music like you'd find in Lumines or any recent (non-DS) Tetris game. The music from Tetris Attack was awesome. Every single piece. I've got the Blargg music on my iPod for heaven's sake! That's how awesome it is. But otherwise, it is Tetris Attack and I can play online but they've screwed up the best puzzle game of all time.
I took a little Lord of the Rings quiz thingy on Facebook (which is definitely better than MySpace) and I'm a true LOTR fan. The questions were rediculously easy like "What race is Legolas?" Some information I suppose probably can't be gleaned from the movies. But at that even a casual reader of the books could get all the questions right. Either that or I'm a bigger nerd that I thought. Meh.
Well, like a said, general ramblings of random stuff.
Alright, here's the links to all the latest comics:
Side Effects May Include...
Did You Really Think That'd Work?
New from Scholastic Books
I found a slight error in my previous statement about the Britons. Patrick Stewart. He's more awesome than most Americans.
Comic
Starting today I'm off hiatus. There'll be a few changes however. Firstly, Jimmy's that guy in the middle. His hair is much easier to draw now. Secondly, that would be Mary on the right. These two things were the main reason I went on hiatus. Thirdly, there'll be a format change. I'm going to do more story arcs instead of weak jokes and sad parodies. Finally, I'll be going with a every Wednesday update. Now that I'm full time at Wal-Mart it's difficult to update twice a week. I figure I should also be able to keep this up once I'm in college in the fall.
Comic
Remember kids, don't do drugs.
No laptop yet. I'd check to see how things were coming on Toshiba's website, but I don't have my service order number or anything (left it at the UPS store :-P) so I'll just have to be pleasently surprised when it gets here. Driving me nuts, though, because my bros' computer is fritzin' out so I'm having to resort to other "activities" to keep me entertained. Mainly drawing. Actually, I'd like to think that my artwork has evolved quite a bit since even the last comic I made (before the Paint Chronicles, that is).
Speaking of the comic, I've got a bunch of ideas lined up and ready to go. I've got the last part to the DB of Life about half colored, another one scanned and a couple others I've drawn over the last few days. Another thing I'm going to do when my laptop gets back is redesign the F5 part of the website. It's kind of bland looking now, and apparently script isn't working (that's supposed to take you to the Paint Chronicles).
I'm planning on going to see Pirates 2 in a couple weeks. Tried to watch the first one the other night, but our DVD is scratched or something so we only got about half way through. While I'm on the subject of motion picture entertainment, I've started watching Lost. Not too bad of a show, really. A little gorey, but intruiging. And finally, they released the teaser for the new Spider-man... I am not amused. Three (at least) bad guys, Harry included which burns me to no end, and it looks like they're going to toss MJ aside like a bag of moldy tangerines. Sam Raimi, ya screwed up!
Work's not going too bad. I got a raise a couple weeks ago, so I'm netting a nice sum of money every other week. I'm scheduled to push carts all next week, which I'm thankful for as I'll miss the pre-4th of July rush. I've also got three day weekends coming the next two weeks so life is good. Gives me plenty of time to do all I've talked about above ;-).
Speaking of money, next week on one of my days off I think I'm going to trot down to the bank and see about getting a loan so I can get my car. I can't even get a stupid credit card because I have no credit score, so we'll see how that goes.
Well, that should catch everything up for a while (it's been forever since I last blogged like that :-P). I may try to import all my old blog posts to WordPress when my laptop gets back, as well. It would seem fitting as I've now been filling you all in on the useless details of my life for over a year now. It's been one crazy, crazy year, too. House renovation, moving, job, and all of it forever immortalized on the Internet. Cheers!
