10:59 am	I need help Cause frankly I'm not very good at figuring out these things on my own. I need to make buttons like maybe 50 – I prefer mini ones but I will settle for larger ones. If you know a way I can do this pretty cheap please let me know. I want to make some t-shirt - maybe ten (vcause I doubt I would sell more then this) Super cheap. I need to find - A mini mirror ball about inch - inch and half in diameter. A blonde wig - easier to find with the costume supplies coming out. medium length. Roller skates (old school is best)- cheap Any help would be appreciated! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:57 pm	I'm like famous or something. I think its the or something.. I recieved this a few days ago... Marie-Claire, It's Jay from Happy Harbor in Edmonton. I'm not sure if you're familiar with what I've started with "Comic Talks" but here's a quick rundown. Comic Talks is a series of panel discussions about, well, comics; the people who love them, make them or build their lives around them. Last year we host 6 panels at the store with nearly 24 different guests. After the shows, which we recorded, we transcribed the videos and then published a book to help preserve the discussions and act as a "self-help" tool for comic fans everywhere. More about it can be found on our website which is currently under construction but the book info is here http://www.happyharborcomics.com/library/page_comic_talks_05_book.htm This year, we have moved the talks in with a local convention called Pure Speculation on the weekend of Oct 14 & 15. On the afternoon of Oct 15, we are hold a Web Comics panel and I would like to invite you to be a part of that panel. Others on the panel will include Rudi Gunther of "Deathworld" and Richard Barkman and Kevin Sole of "Twice Thursday" (all comics we promote, along with yours, on the HH website). We panel is scheduled from 3 pm to 6 pm (about 2 hours for discussion and a last hour for mingling, selling any product you might have, etc.) and I feel that you would be a major asset to the show, bringing a woman's and gamers' aspect to the panel. I hope you can join us and if you require any further information, please give me a shout. Hope your ear is doing better. Jay I have accepted said invitation - if any of you should be in the edmonton area come october 15 in the afternoon come hear me talk - with some other cool people about webcomics. Tickets are completely reasonable. http://www.purespeculation.org/ I sort of expect it to be me and like 4 people in the audiance... ah well come join me:) (8 Comments |Comment on this)

7:58 am	Happy news and life change Today is the last day of my year contract with the old QC. I'm kinda sad to leave, mainly cause I'll miss the people and the slackness of the job. But its not what I want to do, I want to be making more money and I want to start my career. Yesterday I signed the papers to do that. I will be working for Eagle. They are an IT placement agency. I'm starting a career as a recruiter. I'm getting paid better and there are more benefits and perks. I feel its finally a step in the right direction instead of a sideways step. Funny thing is that a year ago I couldn't get this job. Things are going well... Kyle and I have plans and these plans a least seem realisable.. Travel, newer car.. working down some debt.. Oh and I'm going to ottawa for work next week - crazy! Note.. busy busy busy over the next few days assignmets to finish up course and comics for when I'm away and many many other things:) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:18 am	to start.. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/comics/Zits.dtl Anywho... so.. one of my best friends started to date another friend of mine.. Both former room-mates of mine. I found it a little odd at first now I'm like awwwwwww... Unfortunatly I'm going to have to break knee caps if there is a break up. I gave blood yesterday.. And then ran 2 kilometers. now I am pale and sickly looking.. but honestly I haven't felt better in weeks.. I don't think I will try that stunt again but... I feel better in general. House and mortgage docs - signing soon. Its really the nicest thing I have ever owed. It feels like I have never had enough money to buy nice things... House *sigh* I heart you. And I'm so happy I'm doing this with Kyle - I don't think I would want to with anyone else in the world. My comic is going strong.. though I haven't been consistantly working on it like I should - this could lead to disaster down the road.. For the WOW fans in the audiance check out todays. Imperium this weekend... I'm excited. We are going to Kyle's parents place tonight they want to talk about "Furniture"... This will probably involve them telling us we are getting something - that we either don't want and haven't asked for.. or something we can use. Sorry been pretty pressimistic with the Parents in Law recently. Many promises left unfullfilled. Flames going for the cup... ah more watching hockey and drinking of the beer.. Life Is Good. I've had about 2 liters of water this morn.. so I's gots ta go.. Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Smile like you mean it - The Killers (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:29 am	Why oh Why? Keira Knightly - you bitch. Do not ruin my childhood memories. My Fair Lady one of my favorite movies growing up - with the magnificant Audrey Hepburn - a very classy and beautiful lady. DO NOT MAKE A NEW MOVIE. It's fine the way it is. Just because she is now no longer alive does not give you Miss Keira Knightly the RIGHT to replace her. My Fair Lady won 8 fricken oscars. It was awsome. Please Hollywood stop trying to redo good movies. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:19 am	Call me crazy. I have another project floating around in my head. I'm thinking about doing a cartoon. Mostlikely flash based. However I want to Rotoscope it. Which is that I film everything digitally and then animate over it frame by frame. Yes this women is crazy. I can't let you know the details right at this moment but I will keep you all informed. Speaking of projects the Comic is still going strong - today boasts my 30th comic posted. I honestly thought I would only make it to 15. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:19 am	Update! House has been delayed... I'm not surprised but it caused a bit of stress over the last little while until we relized that our land lord is awsome and will rent month to month to us. SWEET! So June hopefully for calling everyone out to move! Actively searching for a new job as this one is three months away from ending. Its been great here, the people are awsome - but I need to get my career going.. Looking for an entry level human resources position/ recruitment. If anyone hears about anything let me know. Caffine is my new best friend. I'm sure its not healthy but I enjoy my life alot more when I have energy to live it. The science behind caffine is really simple. Caffine emulates a neurotransmitter in your brain that moves between synapses. While moving a long a neuron information is passed relitively quickly do to chemical electric transferance. But when the signal has to transfer from one neuron to another the signal must be transfered indirectly by flooding the space between the neurons with chemicals telling the snapse on the other side that the signal is being passed on. The more chemicals the more easily stimulated the next neuron will be. Enter caffine. Having a lack of chemicals or low amounts is results in other things like depression and anxiety - anti-depressants are typically ssri's selective seritonan reuptake inhibitors. stopping th reuptake of seritonin (a neurotansmitter) leaving more in the gap between neurons making it easier to transfer signals - making things less slow.. or depressed. Unfortunatly the side effects are more or less bad for you - the main one (other then the sexual sideeffects - loss of libedo) is no REM sleep. REM Rapid Eye Movement sleep is the phase of your sleep cycle where your brain processes things that have not been stored in long term memory. Its like the defrag for your brain - usually accompanies by crazy dreams. Your brain needs to process un placed information, Alchol and SSRI's (antidepressants) do not allow for this to happen. Are Anti-depressants addictive? Well... taken this example you hurt your foot - if you could drive around all day in a golf cart not really needing to walk anywhere because your foot is hurt... would you become more or less lethargic by the end of your foot being healed? Its not that they are necessarily addictive.. but given the choice would you walk or ride in a golf cart. Thats your brain.. its gotten used to having the golf cart. It still has to move alittle bit - turn the wheel press on the gas but it certainly doesn't have to walk. Take away the brains golf cart - suddenly it has to walk again - its a little slower then it use to be. Maybe its put on some weight and just can't get going as well. Is it easier to just go back on Anti-depressants then try to build your brain to the level of performance it was before - hell yes its easier. So Anti-depressants aren't addictive just once you start it makes it easier to keep going. What does all this mean? and why am I going off on a tangent? Well I've made the conscious decision that my life is better with caffine in it. I'm more creative and less fricken tired. Caffine is not as bad as antidepressants but they both function effectively as stimulants. I will probably never go back to not using caffine - its a slippery slope but I like life better this way. Current Mood: Caffinated. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:10 pm	Since I graduated university I haven't really thought about my marks and what they may or may not be able to do for me. I decided to check to see if my gpa is good enough to get me into programs I'm interested in... I'm happy to say it is, for whenever I want to go back to school. Current Mood: happy Current Music: virtual insanity.... (Comment on this)
9:42 am	This is not your Grandpas Vampire movie. Nightwatch was awsome. Its full of fun effects, and a very neat take on a world with a light vs dark battle going on. I hope that it is not like the matrix in that the first movie was awsome and the next two fell short. Kyle said very aptly this is what we were hoping for with underworld. I have a whole new respect for the ability of Russian cinima. Not that I'm like a movie historian but the BattleShip Potemkan showed the greatness of Russian Film, I think this movie just surpassed it. Amazing visuals and a wicked plot, very impressive acting from the little boy to the old women at the begining of the movie. Watch it! Anyways I have to run! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:09 am	House Our house is coming along not as fast as I would like it to.. All the rough in stuff in completed. We keep being told we should paint and do other things before we move in. Mainly that we should paint our basement and garage before we move in. So now I'm looking into Cement paint. Everything else is good, Comic is good although I need someone to kick my ass this week to make sure I actually work on it. More later when I feel like it. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:54 am	so.... I'm back playing wow again... A friend did a really cool thing and is lending us a compy for the next few months until the stress of the house and everything finicially is more stable enough for us to be able to afford another computer. having two working computers helps because it means that I am not restricted time wise to getting my comic done between the hours of 5-6 and whenever I can get the computer. Its kind of amazing I've been able to work as much as I have been on my comic before this point. Now I can get on whenever I need to. Which reduces the little stress that was in K's and I marriage... But I need to be self motivated to go through our stuff and purge. Kyle has been having troubles with this idea. He doesn't see anything we need to get rid of, but I know that we can slim the amount of stuff we have to enable easier moving. (no I will not touch your books) Then after the purge or during the purge - start the packing process. We don't know when we will be moving but it would be nice to pack slowly over the next month or so getting boxes set aside that we wont use right away (ie. christmas supplies, and the like.) Other news my new style starts friday... woo. and my webpage is looking wicked. (3 Comments |Comment on this)
