Gone

What a difference in a single day. She left the day I made that last post. Just thought I'd let you all know. She fought a good fight.

I don't feel like saying anything more right now. Later.

Update on my Mom

Just a quick update to let everyone know my mom's in the hospital again. For those new to the game, my mom has been battling cancer for the last 2-3 years. That's what this was about.

The details are unimportant, but the doctors say it doesn't look very good right now. Then again, the doctors have been underestimating my mom for years. I'm not so sure they have their act completely together, either.

I'm trying to be hopeful and optimistic about this, but I'm trying not to lie to myself, too. She's been in a drug induced coma (because of the pain) for a while, but I think she's starting to breathe better and be more responsive. She even woke up for a while the other day! On top of that she wasn't complaining about pain at all. She was smiling and joking around, even. Pretty much her usual self, but, you know, a little drugged out.

We'll see what happens. I personally think she's going to come through this thing. I swear these doctors have some kind of bet on which one of them can depress us the most, though.

Doctor: Here's the facts, guys: We're going to put her on antibiotics to fight the infection. We're going to keep her on the pain meds but gradually reduce them so she can be more awake and help get rid of the problems in her lungs. She's showing small, but gradual signs of improvement since you brought her in. NOW here's my medical opinion: The saline bag will probably start inexplicably leaking in the middle of the night and nobody will notice, the antibiotics will accidentally be labeled "poison" and won't be given to her by the night staff, werewolves are real right? Yeah, werewolves will probably happen. And then, since we're pretty sure there isn't a non-magical way of looking inside her body and seeing what's going on, I think it's a safe bet that more tumors will sprout out of her (that's what cancer does, right? I read a medical book that said that happened once) and form a kind of drill that will burrow deep below the surface of the earth, the cries of humanity's sins will pour out from the gurgling red cauldron of Hell below and scores of winged, cloven hoofed, deformed abominations the likes of which we cannot even completely fathom, from whose bodies will spill out and dangle the tortured forlorn souls of our fallen brethren, will tear away at the sky above and rip open a hole of complete darkness darker than the darkness of space, itself, and will drag you, your mother, and your entire family below where your cries will be muffled by about 4 thousand miles of solid earth and the shrieking hell-spawn feasting upon the creatures who will have once reigned supreme upon the surface of the once noble planet.

And then they'll keep repeating it every time they walk by.


Gotta keep my hopes up.

Sanday Comics!

Let's all delve headfirst into that great big magical sack of anger in the sky once again, shall we? Understand that the more we poke fun at the horrible things in the world, the better we can enjoy the truly good things. Or something like that. I don't know. Something I watched this weekend had that line in it and I thought, "Yeah, that sounds about right." Other things I watched this weekend also told me to hollow out my teeth and fill them with that goop they put in Cadbury eggs but I know better than to try that one again.

Comic 1

Boy are my knees all skidding with excitement at the prospect of someone devoting an entire work of art to this common occurrence. Next they'll make a bold move and show their take on when sometimes people accidentally drop stuff or when shoe laces come untied or something.

Comic 2

Did you know that Nikola Tesla invented light? Without light, farmers couldn't shear wool from their sheep. THEN where would we all be?

Comic 3

Some dudes converse in a gas station bathroom about some internets. My favorite part is when they chuck that throw pillow out the window. You'll think twice before hanging out in a public restroom, you stupid throw pillow.

Comic 4

'Cuz Miley Cyrus totally sucks, 'mirite guys? FIST BUMP TO THE MAXIMUM POWER: I WILL MEET YOU BEHIND THE MALL WHERE WE WILL REMOVE OUR RIGHT FISTS AND TRADE THEM WITH ONE ANOTHER AS BRETHREN OF THE BRO CODE. And then we will put our hands up and move our hips like "yeah."

Comic 5

I can't even look at this.

Comic 6

An interesting concept at least. An educational comic strip. Like Mark Trail or something. But for video games. I guess people like using this Nolan North fellow. I'm sure I won't remember that fact 15 seconds after I type it. This isn't supposed to be humorous or have any entertainment value, right? Like Mark Trail?

Comic 7

Do you get it? HUH!? HUH!? HHHHUUUGHCK! This comic, and a really long suicide note were the only things found in the creator's home.

Comic 8

Never since Office Space has anything really captured so accurately the complete soullessness of the modern workplace environment. I mean, it's so absurd, man. I've got an idea for your next comic!

Amorphous Homunculous (AH) 1: I haven't received my paycheck, still.
AH 2: I'm sorry, you'll have to take that up with accounting.
AH 1: Why can't you take care of it?
AH 2: Our computers aren't properly equipped for that. Accounting is. It's just down the hall.
AH 1: WAY BOGUS!


THE END

SFIV Abel Spooky Skin

Man, Abel is a visually boring character. Man. He's got a cool nose, though. I'm going to go spill the moon into a bus now, bye.

PS. That's supposed to say "PARTY TIME" on his back, there.

SFIV Ken HARDCORE GAMERS ONLY skin

This one isn't for wimps. Only true MASTERS of computer games can even dare use this. The in-game version of the skin didn't turn out too detailed looking. I still have plenty more work to do to finish HARDCORE MUSTACHE KEN.

SFIV Ryu skin

There's supposed to be a couple other little faces hidden on his face but it didn't turn out too well. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm having fun.

SFIV Skins

Here's all the evidence the world needs that nobody should ever EVER give me skinning/modding capabilities or I will do things like this.

Those are supposed to be eyes pushed down on Sagat's cheeks, there (click on the image to make it more bigger). I'm going to make them more noticeable in the final version.
