I'll state right now, there won't be a comic this week. Projects time has come up again, and once more it's too much to deal with and prepare the comic for this week. And once again I'll do my best to deliver some other stuff for you guys during the week to make up for it.

Things are gonna start picking up now, hopefully this gives you all a good indication of that.

Not much else to say right now, kind of tired. Post later...maybe, I guess.

Well almost forgot to make a Valentine's Day post. Here it is.

I made a couple of updates to the site too. First I added a new theme for Valentines Day...or pink I guess. Anyways it's in the upper left, the little heart box, though I don't really imagine many people actually keeping that theme, once u see it lol. I also added a new 'Works' over to that section. Just a little color sketch for Valentines Day, featuring Alex and Miles. Finally I just fixed some parts of the css that were broken before. It also kind of bothers me that the Valentine's theme I made is slightly misaligned in firefox, like by one pixel, but because of the way ie7 renders that dotted border, I don't really have a choice right now, so blah on ie.

I'm probably going to add a green theme or something soon, since its one of the main colors I wanted to add but just never got around to.

We just got past the halfway point of book 1 with this issue. I'm more or less recovered from being sick now, so I guess you can expect another update or two this week with something or other.

I have another link for you this time as well. This awesome video was shown to me by a friend:

"Turkish Star Wars"

This is such a ridiculous and awesome video, and I'm almost certain it will confuse you, as it's not literally Star Wars in Turkish. In reality it's this movie, Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam.

Anyways have fun with that, enjoy the comic, I'll see you guys later this week...maybe.

I've been sick pretty much the entire week, but it looks like it's winding down. The bad news is that it's winding down right when it doesn't matter anymore, that is, right after exams and my project are done.

Anyway, my head's pretty fuzzed out, so it's hard to put together a coherent post of what I want to talk about, so I'm more or less going to talk about random stuff (in case the title didn't drop any hints). Well, not talk so much as drop random links to stuff I thought was cool today.

You ever see the live action Super Mario Bros. movie? No? Well you're not missing much in my opinion, but this article over at Destructoid makes a pretty good case otherwise. It does bring up interesting points, has pictures, and is really long. It did manage to make me hate the movie a bit less.

I saw this flash over at Newgrounds yesterday. Cuboy Ep. 1 is a really funny and great flash about this cube guy at work. It has really great style and catchy music at the end.

And finally, lol at this. (I'd link to the actual deviantart page but I don't know where it came from, some one else sent me this.)

That's all for now, I'll start making proper, more interesting posts about actual things once the weekend is over and my eyes don't feel pressurized.

Last night, Kris found out through various means that the RSS feed on the main page wasn't working.  Since we hadn't changed anything with the RSS feeds for a while, it must mean that the problem existed since we moved from the other server, and we probably broke the feed when we moved the server.

This means that the problem had existed without us knowing for at least 3 months.  Sorry, for any inconveniences that may have caused.  I'd normally explain the reason behind the problems, but this time, it's mostly due to just overlooking stuff.

 Oh, and Happy Chinese New Year too.

It's that time again.  That time indeed.  It's around that time when one of those saints (and his patrons, whatever professions or status they may be)
gets his own day and we don't clearly remember what the original meaning of it is, but we make our own meanings of it by buying lots of stuff, giving out things to people we like and decorating various objects in garish colors.

That, my friends, is Christmas, which was two months ago.

Err...today is Valentine's day, one of those days where everything is just overtly pink, because the color pink somehow symbolizes either love, girliness, or good ol' saint valentine.  So go put on your pink suits, and adorn your head with pink glasses, while wearing pink shoes and socks, and walk down the street and be stared at like some kind of perverted stalker, expressing your love through the power of being pink, swinging around your decked out pimp cane, wooing all the girls on the way down. Though I hear pimp canes are purple, not pink.  Oh well.  I now give you time to go press that heart in the upper-left hand side so you may continue with this website in all it's pink glory.

Even if you don't know me, you probably know well my Valentine's archetype: one of those persons whose never actually received a real valentine, one that was given to you after your time in Elementary school where everyone was filled with obligation on Valentine's day after making bags for an entire week to hold all the cards you were going to get from people you didn't know and the teacher (even your friends gave you standards most of the time), and doesn't really know why people bother to think about Valentine's day as an actual day of something, and doesn't bother to really celebrate it by giving out cards or anything.  Oh, and doesn't have someone to give it to specifically, so if he did he would either be flirting with people or just doing it out of obligation.  If I were in Japan, I'd be one of the many boys who would open their shoe lockers to the sad, sad look of one devoid of anything but shoes and air, probably not even getting one out of obligation -- I'd be unlikely to get one of those either.  To be honest, I'm kind of glad I'm not in Japan: on White Day (March 14) I don't think I could take giving chocolates to anyone, even obligatory ones -- and all the girls will slowly exclude me from anything that I want to do, until I become an outcast in the society known as "gakuen".

In any case, before you start pestering me about things like pity and mocking, you should know that Valentine's day usually takes a pretty harsh role in Nayrbian life; at least for Badguy and me anyway. Goodguy seems rather indifferent.  Ever since a certain incident, every other year, we basically have to tie Badguy to a tree with really good rope that he can't bite through, and keep away from him the entire day, lest he start doing things like begging and pleading or killing and destroying.  This usually keeps the world safe for another two years, and Badguy from acting on all those grudges that make him go crazyevilcrazy.

Why every other year , you ask?  Well, the first time we had to do it, every time I looked at him through the window he always looked really, really sad.  And when he noticed I was looking at him, he started making puppy-dog eyes and welling up tears.  Mind you, his hands were tied and he never took his shades off.  He was making puppy-dog eyes through the shades, that's how bad it was that day.  So, we instead let him off every other year, and, since he was tied up the year before, his usually a lot happier to celebrate being free on Valentine's then to go and add to his jars.

By the way, this happens to be a free year.

I don't have much to add today.  I think I'll end it here for fear that the front page may be about to explode.

 I also recently discovered that this site hates firewalls.  It was an unexpected twist.

It doesn't really.  No, it sounds kind of like a vacuum cleaner, the sound of pseudo-sucking.  It's worse than actual sucking mostly because it makes you think it's good for some time before you realize that you're already in the vacuum cleaner, coughing on dust mites and skin follicles.

Why? What are you talking about?  Who the hell are you?  I'm sure there's many questions in your head right now.  Like "Doushita?" or "Eh?".  And those questions shall be answered...with a nugu, nugu mipaa~*.

Anyway, I read the bit from the Diety of Portals, Kris, blog about Nodame Cantabile.  Nodame's not the one doing the pseudo-sucking, though.  It just reminded me that, since my arrival on the other side of the Bandwidth Barrier, I've been taking in far too much of that stuff for my own good.  Kind of like a pseudo-sucking vacuum cleaner I might add.

Anyway, I thought I'd keep up the thought about having thoughts about thoughtful things, which I thought would be a good thing, to which I thought that it might be a lost thought.  We may be about comics, art, and stuff (certainly stuff at least partially covers the subject of anime), but I'm sure you don't want to take my incredibly lame reasons, along with many incredibly sweet raisins, for watching stuff that should already be in your list of things to care about, if you should care to be watching anyway.

Instead, let's enjoy this topic in another way.  Let's look at some things I've been sucking in, and figure out whether or not it's gonna clog the tube for a while, or create a disturbance in the fabric of space-time by making a pardoxical situation where a vacuum has somehow sucked in a vacuum, which means that nothing has pulled another nothing towards it through the inverse movements of mass.  (Some scientist will assassinate me later for saying such a thing--I'm almost completely sure that vacuums can move another vacuum anyway, somehow, but go with it.)

Let's start.  Someone will attack me for it, and no I did not watch through the entire thing, mostly because I just didn't want to after a while, and this doesn't mean that it's not somehow quality stuff for someone, just not for me.  That said, a little while back I had the notion to watch the Adventures of the ASOS Brigade 0 and 1--something that is actually going to be put on the US releases of Melancholy/Haruhi.  Now, I must say that the original concept feels almost like a joke and at the same time is a wonderfully thought out method of campaigning for the US releases.  Maybe, because it seems like a joke, it becomes a pretty good marketing campaign.  No, I'm not gonna attack.  Why? Cause it's a joke and a marketing campaign.  Will I care to watch another piece put together the same way? Hellllllz, no.
Half is enough for me, thank you very much.  I'll see you again when those DVDs are released.  And, no, I don't think this film made me want them; in fact, it was close to tainting them.  Someone who doesn't know what the heck is going on will probably avert their eyes.

To everyone who was in that video: Frankly, I think you could do better.

The paradoxical pile wins today.  Now, back to Curious George.
