Why, why is that? Two days. Five days. Two days again. What a lopsided circle. This is the year 2011, robots should be doing everything for me, leaving me free to pursue art or music, you know, to "improve myself" as Captain Picard would say. Where are my ROBOTS?
That look like this

Sorry, don't know what brought that on. Weekend!
No painting this Saturday. I even wore painting clothes. Oh well. Instead I did other things of import... yeah I played pokemon Red. Well, to be fair, I set up the longer shelf downstairs and made that area more presentable so I could put my Nintendo 64 down there so I could use Pokemon Stadium and get all the pokemon I've ever captured in one place and then pick out the perfect team.
No, I am not eight years old, why do you think this?
Anyway, it took awhile before I caught a Mew, mostly because I wasn't thinking clearly about the steps most easily leading me from not having Mew to having Mew... and you really don't care, do you?
I did go over to Sean's of course, there was game, and it was okay. We met the man who trapped us on the island, tried to beat him up, but he had ambushed us so there was really no contest. Sucks. So only a fractional part of one group remains free, and the others seem to have disappeared. And all orchestrated by one man? Of course he may have others behind the scenes. You never know!
Mizzy takes the bar again the 23-24 so there will probably be no game the next two weeks. Good Luck Mizzy!
Sean said only one person filled out the form to become a beta tester for Paragon. Sorry, bro!
And I guess there's no comic this week, he got busy and apparently "even busted a really big, really expensive window in the bedroom" which makes me wonder what exactly he was doing in there.
Driving out there was a real pain. Yucky-Nasty snow. But driving back was fine, it was mostly clear at that point. Driving home, don't ask me how, but I was thinking about Dragon Warrior of all things. Like, there are so many things about that game that don't add up. Like how did you even get to the castle? Where are you from? The hero of the game may as well be an alien, dropped from the sky to solve their problems because nothing is ever said about his past. Weird.
So I wrote a story about it.
You'll see it over to the left there, in the links section, A Rational Dragon Warrior and there are two chapters. With perhaps more to follow? We'll see I guess. Anyone who has played Dragon Warrior or really any RPG game will be sure to recognize the trails the hero faces. I am not as good a writer (I think) as the story this story inspired, the Harry Potter Rationality story I've often spoken of, but I'm sure it's better then some.
I also worked on the Comic Helper, I got the window to resize if you chose a size smaller then the window, which actually seems pretty neat. And something I didn't know how to do before, in version 1 you set the size before even opening the document, and that was it, don't change your mind. So version 2 seems like it will be much, much better then that.
Cleaned Laser's cage tonight, 11 phone calls? Aarg! So I have tomorrow booked. Two for tuesday too, I have to go back to Le Roy again? *sigh* At least it's for a different person, but you couldn't have called me last week, when I knew I was going to be there?
