I’d just like to point out that I very much want to make sweet, sweet love to all the hotties at Zalman right now. I just slapped their CNPS7000-Cu fan onto my 3GHz Pentium4, and holy Holly, the difference between this pure copper wonder and the stock Intel fan is like the difference between a sleeping baby cradled delicately in my arms and HOT SCREAMING DEATH IN MY ASS. Just by putting the little guy on there, my average CPU temperature dropped by a good 10°C. I played Unreal Tournament 2004 for about 20 minutes and looked at the temperature graph afterwards, and the absolute hottest she ever got was 57°C. Compared to the 65°C I was sometimes getting before, that’s frigid. Add to that the fact that I can’t even hear the thing no matter how hard I try, and Jack is suddenly a very happy boy.

I read somewhere that they’re supposedly making a sequel to this game I used to play called Doom. I might have to check that out.

CURRENT MOOD: Jabberwocky

Dammit and dammit to damn crap, I completely forgot to do a comic for Wednesday. Here’s a funny yet incredibly stupid sketch instead. Probably the first time I’d drawn Mario and Luigi since elementary school.

CURRENT MOOD: Circulatory system

I know I know, I’m pulling the same old crap again with the not updating thing. Look, really, the fact is, I can’t get motivated to work on something that nobody reads, simple as that. I guess I should be thankful at least that I don’t have thousands of screaming fans breathing down my neck about keeping up the schedule, but yeah, right.

Lemme find a job, lemme move out of my parents’ house and all of that and get settled into a real life for once, and then I’ll start updating more, I promise. I at least owe it to the people who donated me all that money to save the site after that disk crash.

Anyway, and now the current mood.

CURRENT MOOD: Egg timer

According to Derrick Fish of Dandy & Company fame, the guest comic that I sent him will be running this coming Monday. In return for my submission, which I’d like to note is probably going to get me killed, though you’ll have to wait until Monday to find out why, he’ll be linking to me. This is going to bring in a large influx of hits, which means – sigh – that I have to make with the content again.

Updating, quite honestly, is a chore for me, because, well, it’s just not worth it right now, partially due to the lack of readership, partially due to the fact that comics are a lot harder to do than single drawings. However, I’m gonna try something different on Monday. I figger this works for VG Cats, so what the hell: weekly, double-sized updates. This way, you’re not losing any story progress, and I get comics that are far easier to make thanks to the added creative freedom, not to mention that they’ll still be easily book-able if it ever comes to that. Plus it allows me to just work on one comic gradually over the course of the week, which I think will provide for far superior funnies.

Soooooo, see y’all on Mondee.

CURRENT MOOD: Resonance cascade

Just so you know, next week’s comic (Nov. 1) will be late. Probably one or two days. What? Don’t act so surprised. You know me better than that by now.

CURRENT MOOD: It’s only teenage wasteland

I’m stranded in Delaware right now with a busted car, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to leave. No comic this week. Frankly, with the way my weekend is going right now, I couldn’t care less if I ever do another one.

CURRENT MOOD: Nobody reads these

No comics for a little while. I’m feeling pretty world-weary at the moment thanks to last weekend. I’ll get back to it when I’m in the mood again.

CURRENT MOOD: The once and future Dockers

Still not sure when the updates will resume again. Maybe on the 15th.

Regardless of when it happens, at the very least, I have some new content for the time being in the form of horoscopey goodness and wuv. I think it’s been, like, two years since I wrote a set of these. I really should do them more. The horoscopes are my favorite part of The Onion, y’know.

Incidentally, I’m turning 24 in a week (the 13th). What are you getting me?

CURRENT MOOD: Tonberry

Scratch that. Make it the 22nd like New Years or something. And forget about the Monday after Thanksgiving. I’m putting in a good thirty hours at RadioShack that weekend.

CURRENT MOOD: Marble Rye

Er, I just realized Half-Life 2 comes out this week. So, um, screw all y’all.

CURRENT MOOD: Headcrab
