Vail Life

Again another quick update as I have been quite busy latly. (P.S. again no spell checker on this post so bear with my mistakes)

First off I have applied for two postions with Blizzard Enternetainment. The first being a Lead Game Master and the second being a Quest Designer. Both for thier new online game WoW. Either one of the jobs would be a dream come true. We will see what happens. If I did get the job I would be so there so fast. The job is in Irvine, CA.

Second I was recently in Minnesota for the Holidays. As almost everyone who reads this knows I missed my flight on Monday and had to buy a one way ticket for 200 bucks. Once again proving to myself that the Holidays are best left to others and I should just not leave my room for a few weeks.

Other than that the trip was un-eventful and it was kinda nice to see some relatives I had not seen in a long time, but losing out on pay plus the cost of flying, parking, vacationing, overall was not worth the investment. I guess I am just a true blue scrooge.

On the home front I will be spending Christmas with the Martins and look forward to that. Thier mother Jane is in and we will all be having dinner at the parents tonight. I will be making Tom and Jerrys so that should be fun and/or intresting.

On the other home front, my two roomates are going through some serious martial disputes so it means I am walking on egg shells more than usual right now at home. As it sits now I do not think I will have a place to live in a month.

Well I will update as more drama unfolds.

Wow, I havn't updated the Blog in a long time now.

Real quick update. I have done absolutly nothig since my last update until today.

I went to our Christmas party, had a blast, hung out with a really cute/nice/foregin girl, only had 2 drinks, got real sick. I am on the verge of throwing up right now, but I have to do night audit, drive to Denver tomorrow morning, fly to Minnesota, ride to Duluth, and go out drinking that night. All with no sleep.

P.S. To sick to spend time spell checking this so I know I have spelling mistakes.

Haven’t updated the blog in a while because frankly not a whole lot has been going on. Started playing Diablo on the net and I have a 20th level Orb/TStorm sorc now. Other than that I have been grabbing fan-recorded episodes of MST3K and burning them to CD for a friend. Of course I am keeping an archive on them on my PC and dream of someday having the whole series. There is something like 200 episodes though and I have 18 so far, so still quite a ways to go.

Other than that I have just been working. I wanted to go skiing tomorrow but they have this mandatory rally at the hotel to boost morale. How can anything 'mandatory' boost morale? Well I think I will write a rant about it to post tomorrow.

Well today was a whole lot of nothing done. Yesterday when I finally got to sleep I had been up for 20 hours straight. I crashed at 8 am and woke up at 4 pm. For the first time since starting nights 6 months ago I got 8 hours of straight sleep. That was different.

So other than watching one of my MST3K downloads and heading over to my friends house for our Wednesday night superman, not a lot done. Although my friend who said he would do the artwork for my site accused me of copping out on the art that I have done on it. He wants me to do at least stick figures. I have been thinking about that and was planning on designing something that could be done easily and modified easily in Fireworks but I have not gotten around to doing so yet. He told me that he would do up some model sketches I could manipulate but I will believe that when I see it. But it may motivate me to get off my ass and work on my own figures to set up.

We will have to see how much motivation I have this weekend. Maybe Monday's comic will actually star people.

Well my day was pretty much filled with what I put in my rant. Only thing to add on a personal note is that even though the end product wasn't much it was a day filled with me actually doing something instead of sitting on my ass playing useless games. Doing something, even if it is not a whole lot, always makes me feel better. That and I learned some valuable tools about drawing in Fireworks that will make the next project easier.

Well last Friday was a busy night so I got the comic up and that is about it. Then Friday night while surfing the net I found a sweet directory with a Nintendo Emulator and 600!! NES games. I have been playing Final Fantasy (the first one) for most of the weekend. I will have to take a break and do up some comics to keep up with my intention to keep the comic on a tri-weekly basis.

Other than that my cold has receded into sniffles and will hopefully be gone soon. But it gave me a couple ideas for the comic.

Today I went with a more humorous rant and I kinda of like that. I will see if I can keep my wit and sarcasm up to maintain more of a humorous spin on the rants instead of some of the more melodramatic rants I have had in the past.
