    Wow... it's been this long?
    I just noticed my last entry, of January 4th, 2006... That was the night after a certain young lady called me to meow like a cat.

    It's been 10 months... she just called last weekend.... she still calls every few weeks just to meow. I'm still amused, it just shocked me that it's been this long and I still have NO idea who this is!

    Please confess T_T

    mmmmm, stalkalicious
    Ok, I have to share this story with you. I've so far found this to be highly amusing, but some people have told me it's scary... dunno, the jury's still out.

    So last night, about 11 PM I received a call (Caller ID shows "Private Number") from what sounds like a young lady who started to meow at me. I figure it's one of my friends trying to mess with me, so I start talking to her, trying to figure out who it is, but no matter what, she won't drop character. Anything that wasn't a "meow" was meant to sound as cat like as possible). So after a few minutes, I figure it's gotta be a prankster, and I end the call. Good laugh, I figure, and go back to playing some WoW.

    Until the phone rings again 45 minutes later.

    As I'm sure you've assumed, it was our lovely little kitty again. Only this time, I hear giggling in the background. So I give it a little chuckle, just some kids having fun. I started talking to her, and this time, it's nothing but meows. Well, after a bit, I decide it's time for bed, and turn off my phone.

    This morning I awake to (as expected) a brand new voicemail. I playback the voicemail, and it's a lovely little tune she meowed for me. So, at this point I laugh at a good prank, and figure it's over with. That was until my phone rings at 11 AM. I'm sure I don't have to tell you who it is, and she's back to her routine of nothing but meows. In disbelief that she has called me again, I laugh about it, and go back to work. My Co-workers at this point look at me like I'm insane, and I share the whole story with them.

    Well, wouldn't you know, about 90 minutes later, on our way back from lunch, my cell phone rings again. I see "Private Number" again on the caller ID and immediately put the cell phone on speaker phone. After a quick hello from me, she begins her routine. (At this point the 3 co-workers I'm with look at me like "wow, he's serious"... even after hearing the voicemail.) Anyway, after a brief barking spell from one of my co-workers, and our standard conversation, I inform her that I am at work, and she really shouldn't be calling me there. She meows in apparent agreement, and the call ends.

    So, 6:30 rolls around, and the phone rings again. Now in my carpool on the way home from work, I again put the cell phone on speaker for everyone's enjoyment. Nothing really eventful happens, other than a few more laughs, however I feel I should note at this point that all 5 people who heard these conversations, as well as the people who heard the voicemail, are all in agreement that our caller is indeed female.

    Then 10:00 rolls around... I'm on the phone with a friend from work, telling her this very story, when I see an incoming call from "Private Number". Not really willing to give up my conversation with a friend for a bunch of meows, I let her go to voicemail. My friend finds this amusing (and is pleased to hear I'm choosing her over cat-girl), and recommends that I should just ask if I know her at all, as I was back under the presumption that someone I know must be messing with me.

    So, sure enough 11 rolls around, and the phone rings. Actually looking forward to this call (since at this point, I had deemed it my mission in life to figure out who this person is =P), I start talking to her. So right away I ask her if I know her or not, and she gives a cattish no. At this point, I notice the giggler has returned, and can be heard very clearly now. Commenting on this, the friend suddenly blurts out an "Ooops", and we all get a laugh out of it. So after some poking and prodding, I finally got her to say something other than cat sounds... In a somewhat heavy accent, "You Speak Spanish?" Informing her that I do not, she immediately returns to meows. (Apparently, if I get a translator, we may find out who she is, although she seems to have no problems understanding me) From there, I go on to inform her that I have a few things I need to get done, and will have to go to bed afterwards. She meows in agreement, and she and her friend go giggling off.

    .... god, I wish I had that much free time

    And I was getting used to sleeping until noon...
    Well, as of yesterday afternoon, I am once again employeed...

    Well, sorta... I have been made an offer from eHarmony.com and accepted it. I start on July 5th. As much as I've enjoyed playing WoW all day long, I think about ready to get back to real life... that and getting paid again is nice :)

    I will be working in the Quality Assurance department, likely working on the behind the scenes stuff (Such as the matching engine and support tools). So if you use the service, and your match is completely wrong, feel free to bitch me out =P

    Day 1 is July 5th.

    P.S. And yes, I've meet Dr. Niel ("the old dude from the commercials" -Ian J)

    Ok, my rant about the movie Collateral
    So, I watched Collateral for the first time last night. I hadn't seen it before since it really didn't interest me, but there was a lack of choice and I was bored. So I found myself thinking, "Well, Tom Cruise may not be my favorite actor, but he usually does pretty good movies, and Jamie Fox was nominated for an Oscar for Supporting Role... why not?"

    So, I'm watching the movie, and it's pretty much what I expected, but something was bugging me. Jamie Fox was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for this movie.... but... he's the main character. The entire movie is about him and how he handles this fucked up situation, and ends up being the hero in the end. So how the fuck is this is a supporting role? I mean, I can understand why they would have Cruise be the headline name, as he'll draw people to watch, but when it comes to awards, shouldn't he be nominated for the actual role?

    Paranoid Much?
    So, I'm on my way out the door earlier this evening, as I open the door to the garage to notice that the overhead light in my car is on.

    "You dumbass." I think to myself, "You didn't close the door all the way the other day, you're lucky you have a battery at all."

    When the light turned off.

    Now, I may not have been of the clearest mind, but that kinda freaked me out. At this point I'm contemplating that someone may have been in my car and (as anyone who knows me can attest I'm not the quiet type) heard me coming and tried to bolt.

    I turn on the Garage light and see nothing. Upon further inspection there's no sign that anyone was there at all. Now, I know I'm just being paranoid but my car was broken into once in Boston when I was visiting a friend. Granted, they were the best thieves ever (all the took was a CD case, and a pair of fake oaklies. Leaving behind the expensive Radio and 12 inch speakers that could be easily taken from the trunk.) it was still messing with me.

    Now, I'm not saying there was anyone there or not. I'm pretty sure that's just my imagination going crazy... now I'm just trying to figure out what caused the light to do that? I don't have auto headlights or anything, so there's no light sensor of any kind. This is the kind of thing that naws at you forever.......

    Wow... that's kind of odd...
    I'm sitting here at work, and I was looking at my HDTC poster I have on my cubical wall when something odd happened...

    I found myself looking at Amy, Alita and the gang finding myself missing them as though they were old friends I hadn't seen in a while. Is it just that I poured so much into them that they grew their own persona's to me (esp. Amy and Alita because the guys were all based on real people, originally, and I don't think I ever really got to 'know' Jesibel)? The way I used to try to draw comics was to think of a wacky situation to put everyone in, and then try to figure out how the would respond, and how this would work with everyone (which I felt lead to my best comics when I was successful, and not tried to bend them in a certain direction).

    Am I alone in this? Is this normal for you to grow this sort of attachment to people who aren't real and only exist on paper and in your head?

    Just odd...

    (Please tell me I haven't gone crazy)

    Why does everyone care so much about shit that's none of their business?
    "In a resounding, coast-to-coast rejection of gay marriage, voters in 11 states approved constitutional amendments Tuesday limiting marriage to one man and one woman."
    - Assocatiated Press

    Seriously, that's fucked up. A Constitution is meant to protect you from your rights being taken away by the government, not to take them away itself.

    To the people in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Utah and Orego: Get your own fucking life and stop worrying about what other people are doing!

    I almost died when I read the following quote:

    "I've said all along that this crossed party lines, color lines and socio-economic lines, The people in this state realized that we're talking about the future of our country here." -Sadie Fields of the Georgia Christian Coalition

    What? Huh? The future of our country? Are they serious? It's two fucking people getting married! God, this makes my head hurt.

    Seeking help from fellow webcomicers...
    I just wanted to get all of your thoughts on something I've been trying to figure out. As many of you know, I'm in the process of creating a new webcomic. To make a long story short, it's going to be broken up into comic book sized chapters (aboud 30 pages each) and each will be done by a different artist.

    So here lies the issue: I'm going to try to keep up a big buffer (because working with so many artists is garunteed to cause a hassle), but I'm afraid that it will run out too quick if I do a 3 comic a week updating schedule. I feel that 2 comics a week would be great pacing. (3 comics a week is about 160 comics, which is over 5 chapters in one year. 2 comics a week is about 110 comics, or 3 chapters - granted these numbers aren't completely accurate, because there will be a break inbetween chapters)

    So here's my question: Is it possible to build up a good readership on a 2 day a week comic? I know I personally have a hard time remembering to check a comic that updates less then 3 times a week. Is that just me or is that common?

    (If so, I'd be forced to do 3 a week, but longer periods between chapters... would that be ok? ^^;)

    Just lookin for everyone's 2 cents. Thanks

    ... wow, this is new
    ... I just had the strangest thing happen to me. I was about to put on my Yankee Hater hat, when it hit me... I really don't hate them as much anymore. Wow... this is kind of freeing.

    ... Don't get me wrong... I still hate the fucking Yankees... I just don't wish death upon them anymore. This is a huge step forward, my friends. HUGE.
