Late Comic, Well worth it

We chose to put off the comic for a day for the sake of having something of quality, rather than a mess of something I drew after a 6 hour studio session that ended at 3:30am Monday morning.

Jared returned within the last 5 minutes with a glistening copy of Halo 3. I'm interested to see it in action.

A side note. Do not stack clothes on top of your router, or else it will start to melt the CAT-5 cables plugged into it, and the casing might melt and warp.

I'm going back to sleep before I have to go to work.

Enjoy the comic!

I have a Punctuality Problem

I haven't actually been "late" to class yet. It feels like I have been, but no matter what for some reason class has never started by the time I've gotten there. Classes are going okay for me; I've got a model to build this weekend, and Kathy and I are going to see Across the Universe tomorrow after I get off of work.
HUGE NEWS. Turns out our crazy roommate, Jared, has a knack for all things pertaining to nerds, and has almost finished the framework for our new website. The only thing we're waiting on right now is, first of all, to finalize all of the design decisions in regards to the layout, and for me to then create the graphics for everything. All in all, we will really have a new website, for serious this time, within a few short weeks!

We are also currently working on getting Blue House Comics into The Battalion, the Texas A&M school paper. Wish us luck and stay tuned! A miraculous transformation is about to take place. We'll probably order more buttons and start working on T-shirt designs to have ready for Christmas. That is a speculative comment, but it could be a very real possibility.

Enjoy the weekend!

Comic Delay

I apologize for the lack of new comic material today, but I'm just now going to bed and it is 5:30am. Needless to say, I need to get the precious 3.5 hours of potential sleep that I have left to harvest before I have to awaken again for classes and the like.

I will try and have something up tonight, and if not, something for Wednesday.

Segway

I saw a man in a business suit fly across University street here in College Station this morning. He stood there, waiting for the signal to change, and then simply leaned forward and took off. I was on a bicycle and from a dead stop he beat me across the street with ease. Of course, I wasn't really racing him, I was in awe of the speed at which the object was moving. The object, or vehicle, was a Segway. I mentioned the phenomena to a few people today. Some said they had seen a similar rider in our midst.

Last I heard, when they were first built, a Segway would cost you around $2,000-3,000. At least that's I recall having heard some years ago. I investigated the matter, and customized my own Segway on their website. My total came to an amount roughly equal to that of which I've sunk into my car.

$5,460. For a thing that moves you around at 12-15mph (or so it appeared), yet requires no exertion to operate. They look neat, but I will ride my bike and stay in shape, and not look like I have so much money that college tuition is pocket change and I ride a Segway to Subway.
I have something to say about Subway, but it will have to wait for another day.

Enjoy the weekend!

Pennance! For I have sinned.

Well, what else is there, but to sue for mercy? This post should have earned it's title by being posted last Monday. And more critically, before last night's repose. But it comes to you now at 9:20 am. Things have been going well here in College Station.

A little explication on a, perhaps unfamiliar, character. Nathan (the noble shepherd), who is my cousin, is also my roommate. He, Sterling, a fellow named Jared, and myself, all live under one roof. Nathan, who is my cousin (I think I might adopt this title for him. A nod to ancient Palestine. Like Ezekiel bar Joseph.) is also a vegetarian due to strongly felt concerns on the nature of meat, and the fact that it was once a feeling animal. Anyway, I think Sterling already talked about this in his post. But the game we're playing in the comic is Age of Empires II (most likely the conqueror's expansion, though I can't say with certainty. The parallel universe our comic counterparts inhabit is knowable only through small panels and limited continuities.)

Konnichiwa. Yes, that's right. Japanese. And I'm taking that class. Give me another two weeks and this post can be thoroughly unintelligible to all but the 1.5 million living across the Pacific Ocean. Maybe three weeks.

-Arrivederci!

Save the Animals

If you've ever wondered how your chicken and other animal things make it from "the farm" to your Wok, Nathan can satisfy your curiosity.

On a happier note, Kathy bought me a Wok, and she had a birthday woohooo! I love the Wok! I've only cooked with it once, but it makes life so much easier. I no longer have to worry about trying to fit too many vegetables in a dish, because the Wok seems to handle any mountain of produce I can throw into it.

I think I have to invent something in one of my classes. At first I didn't think I actually had to invent something. Now I have reason to believe otherwise.

P.S. The Incubus concert that Kathy and I went to (with two friends, one of whom is Mark Burgess, the man that "could fly" a few comics back) last Saturday was superb! Brandon Boyd has an amazing live voice and tons of energy. His tonality and pitch were perfect, and the band was amazing altogether, including the solo their bassist performed on a seafoam green Fender Jazz bass. SEE INCUBUS IN CONCERT IF YOU CAN IT'LL BE THE BEST PERFORMANCE YOU'VE EVER SEEN WAAAAAAH!!!
