Only a short epilogue and I'll have all my pre-research notes done. Then it'll be only researching 300 different things, haha. Looks like a month or two fo browsing the web and saving images.

And then I'll have to design something like 500 different characters (including random bystanders and different clothing for the main ones… after all, the storyline's spread across several weeks if not months and they're the kind of people who do change clothing)

“Fun” times ahead, heh.

Redacted some of the pages I scripted yesterday and plotted out about 90 pages today, getting ready to script as many of them as I can before work in a few hours. Ha- I hate announcing things until they're finished, but I'm feeling the burn on this one. Hopefully it'll unleash the powerhouse in me like the last book did. Last one was about 100 decent quality pages in six weeks (almost five weeks, but I stretched the last part into an extra week to have some cool down). Now the real challenge: remembering to eat, exercise, and socialize enough to avoid my body triggering depressive episodes.

Just like with Book One, it's something in the news that's really started to get to me. That passion fuels a certain degree of mania on my part, but it gets results. And it'd be phenomenal if I could capitalize on it enough to do a small amount of fundraising.

So am almost done with yet another stupid essay… and my mom came over to my apartment. Apparently she still loves that slob/couch potato as a son, and baked me and my roomate some waffles B)
And I just added about a gigabyte of some random music I bought at a fleamarket, so far it's sounding all right but I've yet to listen to the mens choir album… it's supposed to be manly and and happy, not sure how that's going to sound <_<

Wednesday and I'm already tired as hell. :[ It's been a busy couple of weeks, and I have another week to go. Sorry I haven't been very visible lately other than newsposts. (It's also why I have missed 2 comic updates now… I am going to put in extra effort this weekend though. Caffeine-fueled if I have to!)


We've got a couple more submissions for the quackcasts! Two or maybe three recordings, and at least oen script! so there's room for a couple more things, last call! (Before you go to bed tonight!)

Why does the rest of the world celebrate ST Patricks day? This has always confused the hell out of me.

State-side, it is the national day to eat corned beef and cabbage and to drink green beer, neither of which would probably curry favor with St P.

Personally, I should call it E.C.B.A.C.A.D.G.B. day

Well this blows. I left a bid for an item at 3$, and by the time all the fees were calculated it's going to be around 8-10$. I have enough to squeeeze it in… but i don't really want it for that much. I'm still trying to decide if i shouldn't pay(the seller was sort of a dick so that makes it easier too) or pay and avoid negative reference.

To be a douche or not to be a douche…

Ill ask what this means since thats the reason it was unabbreviated.
I call it Plastic Paddy's day. Also cabbage is horrible and green beer? Fortunately im colourblind. That would put me off drinking it. By the way. We drink stout apparently. Which I hate. Tastes like iron. Only Irish stout I can think of is Guinness.

Americans like to turn things into themed, cartoony style events :)
They're a very excitable, celebratory, exuberant, extrovert culture in a lot of ways.
The green beer idea has always seemed mildly horrific (for the beer's sake) and vaguely anti-Irish to me for some reason…

Vaguely anti-Irish? and then I realized that some beers are amber which has a vague relationship to orange.

Irish don't drink American beer because it's like Asbury Park NJ, damn close to water. Harp and Guinness.

This holiday was kind of like “HEY you filthy non-Irish bugger I'M IRISH” DAY! Which started among the Irish immigrants because everyone who was already here hated them.

So they wanted their own ethnic holiday. So St. Patrick is the patron saint of Eire so he's our day here in the new land of Ameriker. This really got moving when the USA got around to importing Irish to fight our wars for us around 1840. The American Army of the Mexican American War and American Civil War were nearly as Irish as Wellington's Penninsular Army. One third of the force was Irish often recent emigrants speaking in a brogue and many in Gaelic. Wearing the green was the way to tell an Irishman. The Army of Northern Virginia and The Army of the Potomac both had Irish Brigades. (Conversely there had been orange regiments in the American Revolution who fought against the Redcoats a large percentage of whom were Irish)

St Patrick's Day is a way to remember how because of all that the Irish became American. But since I'm descended from English settlers who got here in 1612 I don't have an ethnic holiday. All these damn immigrants messing up the country my forefathers hacked out of the primeval forest.

Because it has nothing at all to do with Ireland and it's more of a nasty commercial gimmick as well as part of a stereotype.

St Patrick's day, to me, is for Ireland, not an Irish theme day. But each to their own- All cultures are different and do things in their own way. So go with themes or whatever feels right to you. ^_^

A great ability to have. Prevents one from having certain memories from being burnt into their brains for the rest of their lives. Doesn't always work though… such as when I went to investigate some strange sounds in a stairewell only to find two guys going at it like…

Nevermind. Better not to traumatize anyone else with my own memories… x_x

Now if only I could stop listening to a song I found on the Y-Tube… “Catch Your Fall” by Clokx. Nice singer though. Still trying to figure out what the song means, though perhaps some songs were made just to be enjoyed for what they are without any meaning to them…

Watch that miniseries The Irish in America. It's part of being a nation made up of a whole pile of nationalities who are seperate communities but part of a greater whole. And those groups like to feel special and at times I envy them that. But considering I do such a magnificent Irish accent I be having few problems. I just don't mention that incredibly classic English last name of mine.

I'm up to acceptance. I've seen everything and there's nothing new under the sun and I just say “So what's the big deal?”

“But, but, but”

Damn you sound like an outboard motor, spit it out or keep your peace (and mine).

Considering that St Patrick was a major force in ridding Ireland of its Druidic culture and Good People, it IS ironic that St Patrick's Day has come to mean “Irish Day”.

And considering that it's a Catholic Saint's Day, more irony that Americans celebrate it by eating beef during Lent and bringing out leprechauns with pots ‘o’ gold and shillelagh.

But as Bravo was pointing out, it's the day that the Irish-Americans have set aside as their heritage day. I'd rather observe Yeat's birthday as an Irish heritage day, but no one put it to a vote.

Today I started taking all-natural happy pills.

Yay.

I also:

1) Got really pissed off that a teacher refuses to accept that I'm not like the other people she gets in her singing groups and also not to respect that,

2) Talked about getting pregnant with a cum covered banana and then losing the banana inside the person's vagina,

3) And updated two days in a row on a new comic by a side account of mine that probably is going to be hated by everyone because it's a sprite comic, thus pretty much revealing what it is I suppose but frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

And…END RANT.

Okay, here's something that annoys me.
People my age are getting worse and worse.
Like, on the way to school there's a bunch of smokers that go there and they're just swearing at eachother in words ive never heard of, and there's this boy who i think is tweleve, hes in my art and cooking class, who smokes and (apparently) does drugs. But it annoys me how everyone thinks it's cool to walk like they've wet themselves, deface the school walls and swear at their friends. Why!?

God damnit. Aronfsky dropped out of doing the Wolverine movie, so the hope that we'd finally get a good X-men film is back to being zero.

Also the whole set of Kids in the Hall is 37 dollars on Amazon. As much as I like this here new Pokemon game, I could have spent the same amount and gotten a series I've been wanting for a long time now. Teaches me to stop checking the price daily. I just hope it'll be back down to around as much by my birthday. I wish 3rd Rock From the Sun would get cheaper too.

Ugh…. my father wants me married… NOW. It doesn't matter who… even a woman right off the street will do. And he also wants me to give him grandchildren. For me it's not gonna be easy. Being nearly 40 now, if it didn't happen long ago it's not gonna happen. I know he's getting old but still… I guess when you get “closer to being six feet under” due to growing old you want to have lots of grandchildren. Still though… this is a tall order (for me anyway). Didn't help that my mother kept me away from women (and kept women away from me) when she was alive.
