Okay, so...yeah...
Alright, I admit that I didn't spend all of my day off from school working on Advent, even though I am very behind in my promises...I was playing Risk, two games: Gametime for one was more than 12 hours and the other (which I won in a joint effort) was more than 3.
Yeah...So I did write about a page and structured the rest of the chapter (one of the aspects was being difficult) so it should be progressing faster...but I have a lot of homework (Photoshop primarily) so finding time is hard.
Anyways, that's all for today.

Why Does it Take so much Energy to Live?
Well...I'm posting...
Currently, my life is under a real crunch for time, with everyone and everything needing my constant, undivided attention. Man, life sucks.
What with everything, I haven't really had time to sit down to do much, and even when I have, my mind is shot and bleeding to death...
But I digress: Yes, I am continuing to write the next chapter for Advent (I'm at five pages or so, but I have had to make a few revisions...) There, be happy.
Also, I have come to the decision that the next computer I build (currently codenamed Copperhead) will not have Windows. Instead, it will be operated by little gnomes...well, Linux; specifically Linspire. It'll cost about a hundred dollars, but it's worth it.
So anyways, that it.

Opera calls it Right
Yo.
Apparently, last week Bill Gates made a remark or something, saying that Microsoft has superior interoperability on the web...
Excuse me me while I cough violently...*COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!*
Microsoft sucks at that! IE is so horribly forgiving it's not even funny. Some of you might think that forgivness is a good thing...it's not. Not when that forgivness means ambiguity among the various browsers, and that's only among those that do forgive! There are standards laid out by the W3C for the sole purpose of telling everyone how they have to write their code! Good thing Microsoft isn't able to buy them out...at least, I hope not...
BTW here is the article by the Opera guy.
And yes, I am working on Advent...it's just being longer than I thought it would be in sheer words. So...just be patient some more, okay? :)

PROOF!!!
We have proof at last!!!
Go here
This study is the proof that I have been waiting for! I, and others, have long known that when you are put to a task in an enviroment that gives you a set time in an isolated situation, your abilities are hindered!!
I rest my case.
Also...Advent is being worked on...so...yeah...

The Horrors of Microsoft Grammer
Yo.
This post is in response to an email I got from a reader of Advent in regards to some of my faulty grammer.
Note, and I state this clearly: I have nothing against this person in anyway. I bear this individual no grudge of any kind. I am merely posting to explain why things are the way they are.
Microsoft Word is EVIL.
That's why. Why do I use it? Beccause it is both convenient and I have MOSTLY tamed it. However, it nearly always HATES the word 'then'. Whenever I have attempted to use that word, it will always mark it as error and I have never seen it mark 'than' as error. Yes, I know that there are places where my grammer is flawed in the story, but I just don't have the patience to check every instance in which Word is slapping me for what it considers bad word usage.
I would like to have grammerically correct, error-free chapters to give you all, but I really don't have the time to go through and check everything before the masses start to get angry. I am trying to give my chapters to my beta-reader, and lately I have been more successful, but...well all I can ask is that you forgive a little error here and there. And remember that most of the time, these are people who are speaking, and people don't always speak properly either. :)
Anyways, I've got homework to do and a chapter to work on. If you (you know who you are) read this, response or shoot me another email, okay? And remember, I bear you grudge. I was just explaining myself.

Speak of the Devil...
Well, no sooner than did I say if I got swamped by homework, than I did. I have a video due on monday, a quiz today, plus I have to work on my Maya project. And the School and all of it's media stuff is closed tomorrow.
Anyways, I just want to say a few things:
-Congrats to the Iraqis on their first election
-Congrats to Dubba Bush for a great speech
-Kudos to Gerhalt's mommy for letting us LAN at their house
-Sharp stick in the eye to a person WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS!
-And Advents readers...I will have the chapter done by the end of next weekend if not before. I think...

Returned from the Void that is Homework
Yo.
Yes, I've been gone; neglicting to post for a few days. Oh well. I had to make an IK Walk Cycle in Maya, and do a Photoshop assignment that were both due yesterday.
So now I'm back...
Anyways, I've started working Advent Chapter 15 (Tentatively named Onslaught) and plan (note the word plan) on having it done during the weekend, or just after. Note that I still have to get my next homework assignments.
Also, Traxblade (a.k.a. Rikun) has told me that the Radio Theater of Chapter 7 is nearing completion. He hopes to have everything finalized by the end of the month.
The website is here
Anyways...later.
