Hi there!

I realized I never posted a picture of my car from when it was backed into, so here it is:

Crunch

The car is ok now. It's got a new panel there and about half of the car has been repainted. It's not crying as much anymore.


I've recently been hooked on a podcast called This Week in Tech (TWiT). If you are at all interested in current events in technology, you definitely should subscribe to this one. :-) If you ever watched the Screensavers when it was on TechTV, you'll recognize a couple of the hosts of the show ;-)

Work has been ok. I don't feel like I'm getting as much done as I should, but I'm hoping that I'll be on a new project in the beginining of June. That should help me get more excited about what I'm doing.

That's all I have to say right now... If I come up with something else, I'll update again!

Current Mood: blah blah

I'm trying to get in the habit of drawing more regularly. I have to admit I am a little rusty. I'm also trying to learn how to ink. My hand isn't steady enough though! As you can see below I have some practice to do. This took me a couple hours to do. It's from the Rurouni Kenshin manga. I drew it in pencil and then inked over top. I then just erased the pencil as best I could. I wish I could come up with characters that are as interesting looking as this. Maybe if I keep copying the style of Nobuhiro Watsuki something will sink in.

So, one of the guys at work has convinced me to try creating my own comic. He want to put it in a book with his comic and another comic done by another guy at work. We may even have it printed. Mine will be more in a manga style. I really don't know anything about comics... Oh well. I think I have a plot figured out. Hopefully I won't suck too much. If I set up my scanner, I'll post some sketches and stuff as I go.


Edit:
Here's my possible main character. I haven't decided if I really like him yet or not. Let me know what you think!

Man, I'm a GEEK. I spent all day last Saturday at a .NET code camp. That's right a code camp. :-P I listened to people talk about .Net stuff for about 8 hours. Just wait till you hear what I'm doing this weekend..... I'm going to a lan party. That's right... a lan par-tay.

Wow... I am such a GEEK!!!

New Mac laptop... I need one.... This thing is sweet. Too bad I don't have a spare $2,000 sitting around. Ok, so that may be my own fault. I bought a new car. :-) I have to say, my car is hot. It looks alot like this:


Specs:
Pontiac G6 GTP Coupe
6 Speed Manual
240 HP 3.5L V6
Color: Electric Blue Metallic

Just think, it will actually be mine in 5 years!!

I recently watched the first season of the U.S. version of The Office. It wasn't quite as good as the U.K. version, but it was still pretty good. I'm going to have to watch the U.K. version again now. I really think the guy who plays Tim in the U.K. version is great. (He's the one who played Arthur Dent in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.)

I guess that's all for right now... :-) Later!

So, last night, I happened to come upon Wil Wheaton's blog. Ok, so that part of the blog is broken right now, and it's currently being updated at WWdN In Exile. Strangely, it is really interesting to read.



I wish Greg Dean would come back from his hiatus at Real Life Comics. The silly guy wants to have a life and have a Mon - Fri web comic. Anyway, there hasn't been any comics all week because he's been super busy with actual real life. :-P Anyway, if you haven't read this comic you should. This one is definately one of my favorites. It could totaly be me and my Greg.

Come back Greg Dean!! I need my laugh from your comic before I go to work in the mornings!!

OK, so I like my anime. :-)

I just recently joined Blockbuster's Online service. In my queue is all of Full Metal Panic, the first DVD of Full Metal Panic FUMOFFU, a few DVDs of Petite Princess Yucie, all of Pretear, the first season of Inu Yasha, and all of Kaleido Star. Yeah, I'm a geek, but I'm a happy geek! This is a lot cheaper than buying the DVDs. I got my first 3 DVDs of Full Metal Panic between Friday and Saturday. I already watched all of them. If you haven't seen Full Metal Panic I'd highly recommend it. It's got a lot of action and it's pretty funny. It's just too bad you can only have 3 DVDs out at a time. :'-(

Oh, and hello everyone!

Current Mood: cheerful cheerful

Wow, I haven't updated this thing in a while. I tried to a couple months ago, but it didn't work and I just got mad.

The worst thing is that I really can't think of anything to put down here. Oh well. Anyway, I'm still alive if there's anyone out there that might read this.

Work has been really busy this week for me and I'm starting to get a little burned out. On the other hand, if I'm not swamped with projects I start to get bored. I really need to find a happy median there somewhere.

Oh and you should go and donate something here: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/
