| I don't think this need any explanation. This comic took 6 drawings. 7 actually. One of them sucked more than my usual quota allows, so I had to redo it. Daniel's not looking the right way in the first 3 frames, but that's OK, I guess. Just do things right next time. Also trying out what a teacher at my school called "ghetto depth." Could be better. I don't think it's much of an improvement, though. Maybe with some more thought into it, it could be something good. Backgrounds... I need to work on those, too... | ||

| Getting into my bed is very much like caving. I'm back in school now. Summer was very theraputic. I don't know how well I conveyed this in the scattered updates from last year and I don't feel like checking right now, but I was really falling apart. I don't really feel like posting the details of it. I'm fine now, though, so don't worry about me. "I found myself in the shadows," yeah, that sums it up pretty well. I've got everything set up at the apartment. I would be at a dorm, but Digipen lacks dorms. One year pasted, and I'm still here. I guess that's a good sign. I've wanted to be here since 7th grade, so it's still a little dream-like every day I get up and go to school. But, I should be doing better than I am. I failed two of the thirteen classes I took in the last two semesters. I've made up for one, and if I take seven classes next semester, I'll be back on track to graduate in four years. I suppose that's good. I might go a little crazy next semester, but I've done that before and survived. I can do it again. Going back to what I said about still being here. Digipen is a brutal school. The normal class load is 6-7 classes. Very few people make it through in four years. Also, the dropout rate is huge. I don't keep up with the numbers in the art program, but the programming section lost half of the people in it last year, and that's a record low dropout rate. Our graduating classes are almost never bigger than twenty. I'm not worried about myself. I know I'm going to make it through this program no matter what. Maybe not in 4 years, but I will make it. But, we lost a lot of people that I really didn't expect to lose, and it's really sad. I don't really know where I'm going with this. It's just what's on my mind and I suppose that's what a rant column is for. I'm starting this school year with the "stay sane" policy. This time, I'm going to eat more real food than ramen. So far, so good with that. I've also started working out regularly. Well, not really started. I was working out regularly over the summer, but I expected to stop, but Doug has convinced me otherwise. All I have to say about it so far is "THE SEARING PAIN!!" I'm on a quest to become the world's strongest programmer. I don't think that will ever work out, but, it's something to strive for. Yes, the comic is obscenely late, as usual. This time, you can blame Erich for the last two weeks of it not being done. Erich lent me Tales Of Symphonia, a poorly named, but otherwise excellent RPG. The battle system is completely real-time and supports up to 4 people playing simultaneously. The AIs and in-game cinemas could stand a little work, but it's still really good. If you have a gamecube, get this game. You won't regret it. I've been giving some thought to the story involving this girl. The story is pretty messed up as it is. We'll see if the end result is something that I want to see the light of day. The weather here is getting rainier, which makes me happy. Yeah, I'm weird, but there's a reason I go to college half an hour away from Seattle. My birthday is coming up in 11 days. I'll be 20 then. Supposedly being endowed with some sudden maturity from no longer being a teenager. Yeah, riiiiiiiiight. I don't care that much for birthdays. Well, getting attention and presents is nice, but being praised in front of other people makes me feel really awkward, and over something that I have no control over, like my age, even more so. I'm always glad to see and hear from people that I care about though. Again, I don't know where I'm going with this, but it's been on my mind. Maybe the whole reason I didn't post much about how I was feeling was because I didn't have anything that I wanted to share. And maybe this whole blog-like entry is in some way a compensating for everything that I didn't say. I don't know. Was I trying to make everyone else feel better by putting up only amusing stuff? That doesn't make any sense. At least not now, anyway. Maybe it did back then. I guess a lot of things I did just don't make sense now. I should let it go. I could use the practice. One of my roommates showed me Underworld. Pretty cool, and it took absolutely no concious thought. I saw Hero. Freaking awesome. If you read this closely, you'll lose your mind. Man, that's excessive. I want one. You have got to be kidding. I would watch this forever, except that it gets out of sync with itself. =( I remember back in the day when I thought I was good because I beat the game on Legendary. This is sort of turning into a quote of the moment thing. --Lat, September 18th, 2004 | ||
