PH34R R34L TYP3 D4RK3!

how are y'all? im kinda knackered, but thats what I get for insisting on watching all of "The Green Mile" last night. It didnt finish till 1:15 AM and I had to get up at 7:00. It took three alarms and a soundsystem to rouse me from my slumber. -_-;

i have some fan-art to post up and Ill be doing that later.

I also got three DVDs for £20 on friday. I got "Monty Python: Quest for the Holy Grail" which is pure comedy. ^^
I also got "Little Nicky" with Adam Sandler and "The League of Extraodinary Gentlemen" with Sean Connery. Both are very good films.

I also got my new phone. YAY! its does so much too. its like a palm-pilot, but in phone form. Its brilliant. ^^

I also got Cowboy Bebop vol. 1 from my Aunt as a belated Christmas present.

I've also had a new idea for a story! (despite the fact I havent even begun the other one I was talking about yet...)
Its set in Ireland, in an old theatre. The main characters are these twins, Alice and Thomas, who have inherited the theatre from their mum, who has died from cancer. Its derelict and miles from anywhere. But when they take a look around, they discover its inhabited...by ghosts. There's two ghosts at the mo, and I might bring in some more if the story progresses much. There's Evelyn, a gothic girl who's inhabited the theatre since she died over a hundred or so years ago. Im not sure what period to set her as. Does any one know what period "Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events" is set? Cuz the outfit the main girl character wears in that film is the period im aiming for. Evelyn is a quietly sarcastic and stoic character.
the other ghost is Tessa, who's been in the theatre since the 80's. Tessa is more rowdy then Evelyn, and likes to get drunk (yes, ghosts can get drunk).
The title of the piece is "Unfinished Business" and its kind of a cross between "Casper the friendly ghost" and Love Hina. It could be quite fun to see how this progresses. I have the first couple of pages written already, i might post the first chapter when I've finished it, see what you guys think.

So thats my weekend. pretty normal, other than the fact I got paid. ^^


I wanna download "Stray" (Wolf's Rain Theme) but i cant find it. the site i normally get my stuff from doesnt have it. poo.

ne way, see y'all later...

got severely pissed off with the female cadets last night at my air cadet squadron. no changes there then. I might open up an extra large can of whoop-ass there on Monday if they continue to annoy me.

*sets up a perimeter around his manga collection*
Chrissy, you are only getting this collection over my dead body. which im going to put into this trunk and hide so you cant find it. *puts his dead body in trunk and throws it in the ocean* so there. you cant get my manga now!! unless you planning to get it over my dead body at the bottom of the ocean!!! BWA-HA-HA!!!

the insane ramblings of a mad man....


and Snowangel, i think i can work out the cost of my collection. lessee..
about 70 DVDs at £20 each roughly...
and 42 manga at about £6.50 each.

plus my Die Sterne Eva art book, Gundam tech manuels, two comics plus other numerous bits of paraphanelia (Gundam Models, figurines, T shirts and the like)...

um...about £1,670 give or take a few (eva and saikano manga cost more and dvds sometimes cost less) for the DVDs and Graphic novels, plus say about 200-300 ish on everything else I own...

say about £2000 if you round it up. thats about $3765.50 USD in the current Pound to Dollar exchange rate.

^^

so there we go. *cocks shotgun* its MINE! Y'hear me? MINE!!!

in other news...


tis another boring day here in the UK. Ive got nothing to do and all day to do it in... bleah. I guess I really should get on with some work, but what the hey...

I watched "Lost In Space" (with Matt LeBlanc) and "Independance day" (with Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum) last night. those are both cool movies. Its nice to see Matt LeBlanc do something other than Joey from Friends...

oh yeah, and I had a chinese for lunch yesterday. Chicken Chow Mein. Its really hard to eat with chopsticks. and I dont like onions in my chow mein...or beansprouts either...

pff. Im bored. Ima going to visit all your sites now. But first, here's todays strip. (yay!!)



see y'all later.

so thats

short post (for now)
i might post up something later if I can think of anything amusing or interesting...

I got my pens last night, so i can draw up some more comics soon, and I have had some ideas of art, so hopefully ill be uploading some stuff onto the fanart section soon.

oh, and hopefully I will be starting my latest fic soon. the one with the mecha and the a.i and the guy etc etc. still kinda need to think of a title tho...

I also bought Cowboy Bebop vol.2 on DVD (despite the fact i really dont have the cash for it right now. ^^; ) what I really like about CB is that you dont HAVE to watch it i9n episode order. You can watch alomost any episode whenever you feel like it, its that unrestricted. ^^

i looked at phones too. phones are really expensive. luckly i've got birthday money for that sort of thing.

thats it in my life really. My aunt FINALLY got the thing through from amazon that she ordered me for christmas 0.o; so hopefully ill be getting that soon. Im still waitng for my DVDs to arrive. Im going to email the comapny next opportunity I get.
and the weather here is really 5h1tty. it kinda wants to snow, but gives up at the last second. Im pretty sure that if it doesnt snow by the end of the month, it wont snow at all until december or so. ah well.

thats it for now. I have mind-numbing lessons now, so hopefully my brain will dis-engage to think about funny things I can post online. laters

Thought (for now): PH34R MY L4RG3 M4NG4 C0LL3CT10N!!!

and no Weaver, you dont spy Battle Royal there. one film i dont own...

and Black Pearl.. 0.0'

hiya...
i wasnt gonna post today cuz I had nothing to talk about, but im here now, so I may as well...

today I have this talk or lecture of something in the Learning Resource Centre about interview techniques or something, and its "compulsary" to attend. i aint going. first and foremost because I know interview techniques and the like, so it would be a waste of my time, and secondly because I really cant be bothered. ^^;
Mr. Naylan can kiss my 455. screw him.

Im going shopping today, although im kinda skint (apart from b-day money and inheritance, but i aint gonna spend that on manga). I need to pick up some Pigment Ink Pens for my art, and i might need to get some money out. Im gonna buy the laptop that i've been borrowing. My dads gonna text me today to tell me whether to get the money out or whether he can handle it and i can transfer the money to him at a later date. However, my phone has died AGAIN, so im borrowing a mates phone. I really need to buy a new phone. I might as well look around phone shops whilst Im up town.

I had an epiphany today. I know the origin of Tom and Jerry! well, its a pretty sound theory anyway.

"Tom" comes from the "Tommies" or what the Britsh soldiers in WW1 were nick-named and "Jerry" from the nick name for German soldiers for "Jerry". and their "cat and mouse" battle are like trench warfare, where the is no clear winner, with the front lines advancing and retreating like a yo-yo. thats my theory anyway. i could be totally wrong...

heres a random picture...



my manga/anime collection. ^^ in the top right corner is the DVD rack I had so much trouble with. ^^;
I have roughly 112 DVDs and Manga Novels in total. HA HA HA HA!!!!!

No strip today. Im outta ideas and stuff.

see ya tomorrow.

random question: what was the greatest thing BEFORE sliced bread?

EDIT: w00t!!! 1500 visits!!!

   Thanks everyone...
I appreciate all your comments yesterday. i feel a bit better now. still feel a bit empty inside, but i dont expect that to heal anytime soonish. But i have got past the point of grieving and starting to laugh and get on with life. heres a piccy i did yesterday. its now my desktop wallpaper:



so yeah, im getting over it.

of course, that was just the biggest part of a sucky weekend. Started on friday. Got home...DVDs still not there. >.<
but there was a lil slip of paper from Royal Mail that basically said that "we visited but you were not in so we took your package back to the sorting office."
the sorting office isnt that far from where i live, so I was gonna hop back on my bike and go and get it. however, the sorting office closes at ONE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON ON A WEEKDAY!!!! >.<
so after ranting and raving for half hour, i decided to get it the next day, before work.
so i set off the next day to get it. you have to take I.D with you to collect packages so i took my driving licence with me. when i got there, I found out that they don't accept provisional licences as I.D!!! >.<
at that point i was gonna be late for work so i set off back home to drop off the slip and I called dad on my mobile to ask him to pick the package up for me. then my phone died cuz its old and crappy and it cant take phone calls no more...>.<
then i worked all day. >.< why can't I throw tinned goods at the customers? why? they annoy me, they get a tin of mushy peas in their skull. seems to be a fair exchange to me...i really wished i could, i really did...
i got a txt message at lunch (i had nicked my brothers mobile phone and swapped the sim cards around) saying the package was for dad ANYWAY!!! >.< I blame the Royal Mail for all of this. If they had specified WHICH member of my family the package was for... *sigh*

not only that, but at 6:45 AM that morning i was awoken by a little scratching sound in the corner of my bedroom, which is really in-accessible. I turned on the light and went a-searching. Eventually I found the source...my brothers hampster had somehow found its way from its cage, out my brothers room, past the bathroom, seperate toilet, older brothers room AND my parents room to work its way into the corner of my bedroom. I caught the wee bugger and returned him to his cage w/out waking my lil bro. of course, i dont know how long he had been out of his cage. for all I know, he could have done a grand tour of the house before winding up in the corner of my room. *sigh* then of course there was the whole dog thing. its really not been my weekend.

on a lighter note, i did get one of my DVDs through. Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket vol 1. its really good, but cuz its only 6 episodes long, all the best stuff happens on the second disc, and I havent been able to find it at Amazon or anywhere like that.

so im still waiting for the box set top come through.
All in all its been a Series of Unfortunate Events. Take that Lemony Snicket. Yeah, you suck.

any hoo, enough ranting. here's todays strip.



give it a go. ^^

hope all your weekends went better than mine. ^^;

I see y'all tomorrow, probably. hopefully Ill have more interesting and funny things to talk about.

ciao for now.

We had to have our dog put down today.

he was really uber old (born 1988) and this morning he was in pain, so mum took him to the vets and we had him put down. im really upset. i've been crying on and off all day. we've been together pratically since i can remember, and its strange not having him around now. seeing his empty box in the kitchen...

The Game is afoot, sugah...
Kitsune scares me...


lol

hiya everyone. sorry boutyesterday, but my brain needed some time to reset. Its like de-fragmenting your hard-drive on the PC. it takes blooming ages, and the only thing you get out of it is pretty patterns...yeah...

ne hoo, im better now. Last night i uploaded some software onto the Laptop that im borrowing. the guy im borrowing from said it was okay. I also changed some other bits. LOL. the screen saver now says: PH34R MY L33T N3K1D 5K1LL5!!!

so its thursday again. STILL waiting for the DVDs. they should be here by tonight or tomorrow. if they're not here by Monday, then im gonna open up a can of whoop-ass on amazon. tho, to be honest, its not totally amazons fault. the stuff i ordered was from an external company through amazon, so technically its their fault. or Royal Mails fault for sucking royally. I havent decided yet.

i watched mystery science theatre last night as well. lol. no matter how many times I watch it, it always makes me laugh.



Cal: what do you think of Motzart Exeter?

Exeter: Im afraid I dont know him (pause) Im sorry, you mean your composer.

Servo: (as Exeter) Im not an alien!


LOL. there are funnier bits, but that was the only pic i could find...

Today Darke's manga library re-opens. I had a somewhat forceful request to bring my Saikano manga (vols 1-3) in by Nicola. she'd better return them on time, thats all Im saying on the subject...
