By the way, what counts as smart casual? Can a collared shirt, jumper and jeans suffice?

Hmmm…jeans can be a bit iffy for smart casual - some people wouldn't include 'em. To be on the safe side go for a nice casual slack: some khaki dockers perhaps, or a checked golfing pant?

Then they put two games I don't care about on the same poster - TvC

How dare you, actually how dare you. I hate you and I wish you would die. >:(

Shush boy, the darn poster's on my wall, right under my Phourglass-but-not-really poster.
(Wind waker poster, just with the phourglass logo for some reason)

NOTE TO SELF: Must sleep more….

tired. other than that nothing interesting to rant about(what is wrong with me?)

Ahh… it was so much fun going in to Anarchy Online and slaughtering fields of Leet. So cute, so small, so… easy to shoot at my level! I guess I'm enjoying myself too much slaughtering the numerous vermin of Rubi Ka instead of getting my missions from a terminal or flying around on my hoverbike. :)

Damn. Them's some nice trousers. They'd go well with a pair of chuck taylors, and an argyle sweater vest over a t-shirt. Though the golf shoes really do look quite dashing in a skankin' sort of way.

I'm incredibly glad my last class was cancelled. We've had over 1.5 ft of snow since 4 this morning and I spent the greater portion of my day outside clearing it from the campus. I've been inside for 3 hours and I still feel cold, and I'm never cold.

Got Mad Men season 1 for my birthday a week early, since my parents and I are taking advantage of the snow day tomorrow. Just watched the first three episodes with them and am wishing I could tell an awesome story like that. <3

pant?

Oh gods… D:
I don't like that usage. “Pant”, “underpant”, “short”…
Underpants, pants, and shorts are singular, but can be plural as well, there is no need to go and invent fake singular versions. I hate that. I Hate the idiots who know nothing about clothes that edit clothing catalogues and fashion magazines that have invented those usages so they can sound like even bigger pricks than they already are. >:|

GRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Kudos to you for your facetious parody of just that sort of thing though. :)

Those look like a pair of trews.
I have so many pairs of damn vintage trousers clogging up my wardrobes now. Old woollen trousers smell funky :\

flashback ? wut year is this 2001 ?

actually i downloaded it and created an account just so i could go back to Newland and look around. ahhh that game was the inspiration for a lot of the world of GRIND. seeing it now is like going back to the charred ruins of my bombed out preschool.

i'm feeling like ass right about now…

i blame the fact that it's sooo dry in this house…my throat is dry. my nose is dry…my mouth is dry…the walls absorb what ever water i have in my skin when i brush against them… now that my bank account/budget is finally balanced, i might go out and splurge on a humidifier. this has been the worst house to live in yet.

I still play the game now and then. I hope this Froob thing lasts. Paid for the paidpoints just so I could have the ability to buy hoverbikes for my characters. One thing I do wish for… a sequel to this game. :)

I need to make a music video for college. Im animating mine as i couldnt be bothered with putting the people in college into it. But i dunno what ssong to animate.

Me and my parents tore through the shed looking for my old pokemon cards. I didn't find them(or my first series transformers) but i found all the old VHS's of the series and the old comics :) I'm reading the comics now, i loved them as a kid and it's great to see they're well made even now. Toshiro ono is freaking awesome.

I wanna make a short fan comic now since i have some outside motivation to do it.

oh. hai der.

Remember a couple days or last week back? you know when i said that getting a physical could be pretty bad, but i had faith in the system trying to save money by expediting?
not happening. i now have to go and get a thorough flight physical. one that i already have. instead of just doing the necessary items i don't have. I must now do both. and i'm dead last on the waiting list. and once it does come, i got 6-8 weeks for it to be official. nice huh?

Wait, wasn't Flashback from 1992? :)

Speaking of games, I just went through a 109 youtube videos of some guy going through the entirety of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines as a Malkavian (for those uninformed, Malkavians are the lunatic vampires. They're pretty much insane and hear voices whispering to them with hints on the secret nature of things, and have a funny speech pattern). He even went for the same ending (or endings rather) that I did, and the only major differences were he chose a male character (I chose female) and he was a lot smarter with spreading the experience points around.

Vampire was the ONLY pc rpg that I enjoyed enough to finish (despite a billion zillion bugs). I liked the setting (based on the whole Dark World/Vampire the Masquerade thing), the music (Chiasm, Ministry, Genitorturers, etc.), the first/third person hybrid thing (I recognize the fact that Melee couldn't be done well in first person), the atmosphere (dark and gloomy, the world around you seems to sit on the edge of apocalypse), the setting (santa monica/downtown los angeles/hollywood/chinatown), the characters AND their voice acting (the guy doing voice for Bender voicing Smiling Jack; pretty much eveyrone sounds fine, none of that super cheesy over the top voices I found so irritating in many games)… and finally, it's NOT hack'n'slash. The game is actually rewarding you with extra experience points for going around and killing the least people! Seriously! You do NOT have to plow through hordes upon hordes of mindless enemy drones in a left mouse button orgy just so you can buy a new pair of pants! While there are places that you need to cut your way through, in most cases sneaking by will give you couple points extra.
Ahh, if only the game wasn't so full of bugs.

Funny scene. At one point in the game a woman recognizes you and goes “oh my god, we thought you were dead!”. Well, since you have to stay secret to the world, you have to either kill her OR convince her you're not the person she thinks you are. As a Malkavian though, you can use your Dementia skill on ehr and convince her that you're her pet turtle she had as a child.
Her reaction: “Shelly? Holy crap, you've gotten big. Sorry I flushed you, I thought you were dead.” :D

In other news. It's 2:30am and I am tired, should go to sleep.

That's exactly it! I think the aim is to make them sound more intelligent/knowledgeable about their field, haha!
It's the clothing catalogue equivalent of the office buzzwords and phrases that nobody uses in the real world, because they lack Synergy and Blue Sky Thinking.

We could create a thread for classic examples of this in many fields, but since lots of people here haven't entered the workplace yet, they probably still have optimism. I'd hate be be the one to squash it. Actually, it's already too late bicbw hhokpitrtul.

So I have to write a speech for French class. We do this every year…last year I threw one together about John Lennon, the year before that I did it on the whole “Paul is Dead” thing, which was pretty fun. It can be basically about anything, as long as it's more or less appropriate for school. But I'm kinda stumped!
Any ideas?

We need to workshop it. :)
Then go replace all business school teachers with Teletubbies. That should give us more practical business jargon ^_^

…i just helped make a snow man 5x my size. it was a good day today.

So, another snow day tomorrow. There's seriously an insane amount of snow outside right now. It hasn't snowed this much since I was two, lol.

Maybe you can do a speech about french culture… where it was, and where it's likely to go now. Just an idea, though… :)

Filed my taxes today with a smile… For the first time in a decade, I don't have to pay any taxes. Instead I've got a refund… of $23. I doubt I'll have it good next year, though. T_T

Me and my parents tore through the shed looking for my old pokemon cards.

I have a crate of Yugioh cards. I always found it to be a more amusing game than Pokemon. Until GX that is…was…

Annie tryouts were today and I may get a god part. They liked me (who doesn't?). I used the song “Like Snape” from the Potter Puppet Pals : Yule Ball and the monolouge “Giant Oak Tree”, found on “monoulougeblogger.com”.
I wrote a sonnet. I HATE SHAKESPEARE AND I HAVE GOOD REASON TO.
Yesterday was a snow day. I made a snowball that was 5 feet tall.
I have almost beat all of Pokemon Sapphire. (one more gym and the elite “sh*t”)
My acne's being a B*TCH this week. A real B*TCH.
I have actually updated a comic! OoO…
I have run out of things to rant about.

I stopped making Last Words over a year ago in August of 2008, yet somehow the chicles still dominate my work. Every time I get a client, regardless of whether or not I've included Last Words as a part of my portfolio, they find it and immediately ask one of two questions, “why do you charge so much if you only draw cartoons?” or “Oh! They're so adorable! Will you use them for this piece?/Can you make them my mascot?” They invariably get something along the lines of, “Because I still have to spend a lot of time drawing them and that's not what I do any more.” or “if it fits the project, which seeing as how you're starting an attack-dog-nunchuck company, I doubt it.”

It's getting to the point that part of me regrets ever making the strip, having it featured or having it become even as semi-popular as it did. But I refuse to take it down, because it is a part of the history I have as an illustrator. I just want to be able to move on stylistically and conceptually. I don't do the same work I used to, and I'm kind of tired of being branded by something I did almost three years ago. Maybe I should just start a new comic in the style I work in now so they might find that first.

Wow, I have off again tomorrow. Normally my school's really cheap when it comes to snow, but they really pulled out all the stops this time. SIX DAY WEEKEND, WHATEVER.

Birthday on Wednesday. I've already resigned myself as being 16, so the actual turning isn't as exciting. :/

i just got off work…now i'm going to finish dinner and go straight to bed (normally a bad idea kiddies). i know that if i don't go to the gym in the morning, that i pry won't go at all tomorrow…and it's my last day running for a week…(I have been running every week since november, i should…need to… take a break from that..focus more on leg and upper body strength, and swimming.

wait, scratch that, i'm still going to run a practice past on sunday, then it will be a week.

I am Sooooo tired. If for some reason I don't go to bed and sleep as soon as I get home, at least I can sleep in tomorrow. Yay weekend!
