I'm beginning to warm up to Twitter. Even, dare I say, like it. I think I just needed
a reason for the account to exist, rather than use it to point out stupid mundane things going on in my life (which I totally still do, but at least it isn't
the main purpose of it). LiveJournal, on the other hand, will continue to be the dumping ground for the idiotic stuff that runs through my head.
So on the comic front, I didn't get as much stuff done as I wanted but really, still did quite a bit. I drew nine (!) pages this past week, with three
more to go to finish up Chapter 11. And now that I have my second monitor up and running again thanks to the new video card and a replacement stick of RAM
(thank you, New Egg!), I can focus the next couple of weeks on coloring pages (Summer Song first since it's been sitting here completely done, then
the regular comic pages I just drew). I also need to make a trip to the store for some supplies so I can start on a short story comic I've almost finished
writing. I wanna get that thing going soon.
So there's progress, which is good, because as soon as it's feasible I'm taking this sucker back to three days a week. The reduced work load is nice, but
I don't want to be updating this thing for the next fifteen years (besides, it's harder to follow an ongoing story this way).
And not that anyone cares, but I beat the eighth ranked assassin in No More Heroes 2. I'm about nine hours into the game (doing maybe an hour of
non-story stuff) and it doesn't feel like it's ending any time soon. I've hit a roadblock, though, as the seventh ranked assassin has a move when you take
his health down half way that is kicking my butt all over the place. I haven't figured out the strategy around it yet, but I'm sure there is one since Suda
51 seems to take particular care in how you approach these fights.
Anyway, hows abouts them Saints? I was certain of only two things in the game: 1.) It would go down to the wire, and 2.) Payton Manning would come back
to win it, if it came down to it. Not that I felt the Saints couldn't win; I figured it could go either way. But if I put money down it would have been
on the Colts for the simple fact Manning has an amazing ability to come through in a clutch. It sorta came down to the wire because I don't think that
lead was too much to overcome, but the Saints pretty much put the game away with that interception / touchdown. That onside kick to start the third quarter
completely changed the momentum of the game and was certainly the highlight for me. Talk about a gutsy move that paid off!
Off to draw and write some Chapter 14! See ya next week!
