A Subtle hint
March 1, 2002
Insert coin(s) to start.

Arg... apologies, but this is gonna hafta be short due to the fact that not only do I have a CRAPLOAD of reading to do for class, but I am *apparently* getting sick. Whoopeeeeee. Call out the happy brigade. And I have not one but TWO essays due next Friday. Wow, I'm so happy, I could spoon out my own eyeballs and eat them with chocolate syrup. Actually, no, because I couldn't see them. And I'd probably be shrieking in agony too, but we'll just leave that out of the equation.

I know there are those of you out there who will understand what I'm talking about when I say I currently have to read one of the absolute *WORST* pieces of crap masquerading as literature that I have ever had the misfortune to set my eyes on. I sure hope my Anglophone Literature professor doesn't see this, because she assigned the book, and I'm pretty sure she didn't do so from some sick and twisted desire to make me and the rest of the class suffer in blinding, unending agony. Really, it's awful. And it's 278 pages, all to be read this weekend. I think I'm on page 32.

Please pray for my soul. I have a feeling I'm gonna need it. BADLY.

So someone with a cruel, evil, depraved and corrupted soul did *something* to the computer at work that messed with the cracking program for the Diablo II Expansion, and now I have no comforting womb-like place to escape to when I'm too stressed to do my homework, patrons are screaming at me to help them make specific headers in Word (for God's SAKE, what the fuck is the "Help" function FOR?!?) and other crazy stuff, and I just want to beat the crap out of a demon or twenty. OH THE HUMANITY! Who is going to triumph against Diablo's minions, if not me? Please, if you work with me (and I bet you know who you are) and you can fix this shit, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out. I actually spent time in the lab (that would have been best spent blowing Hollow Ones into little juicy pieces) making a picture of myself screaming with the repeated phrase "all work and no Diablo II makes Annie a dull girl" pasted repeatedly over it. Yeah, so this is just getting *sad*.

In some happy news, I don't know about you, but I am digging the Star Wars-esque storyline over at Player Vs. Player like nobody's business, and if you don't read that comic, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, GO AND READ IT RIGHT NOW!!! (after reading mine, of course. Gotta add that reminder) I just dig it much, it is a tasty fun addition to my day. Thanks out there, Scott, if you ever read this: you've made one hardcore Star Wars fan very, very happy. Which is more than I can say for George Lucas lately, no matter how pretty the trailers for Ep. 2 look. It's predecessor taught us not to trust pretty packages anymore. Plus I *know* the beard had to come for Obi-Wan, but why NOW? Couldn't we just assume he grew it in the desert? I just never dug on facial hair, especially not when it covers the fine features of Mr. Ewan "I Sing Like A Crazy Demigod" McGregor.

::pause:: What? Like YOU didn't get a little misty-eyed when he sung "Come What May." Then again, maybe you didn't. ::another pause:: Not like I did or anything. What's that over THERE?! ::runs quickly away::

Well, gotta get back to that whole killing-myself-over-homework thingy. Take care everyone.

GAME OVER,

So I was on my way to making ramen at 1:30 AM while updating the comic...when I noticed that someone stole my fork. Yeah, the one fork I've been using all last semester and J-term, someone stole it. Poopie.

Why was I hungry at 1:30AM you ask? Well, I dipped out of dinner early tonight without eating too much because I was excited over a new idea for a portion of my capstone project. I quick whipped it out in a couple-three hours and damn is it fast. Then I got back from working the 10PM-midnight (which turned into 1:15AM) shift at the computer lab...started updating the strip...and yeah...my tummy growled. So yeah...enough of my drivel.
