*POP* Goes the Neuron

Okay - if you haven't seen the end of the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion", just think of the most completely weird-ass, messed-up, and confusing thing you've ever seen. Now multiply it by WHAT to the REALLY BIG POWER and there you have it. Something that will make you twitch and stare as your mind attempts to untwist itself and re-grasp reality, sans giant robots and falling heads. Woo. At least this was pretty much my reaction, and my poor roommate - who had the pitiful duty of attempting to bring me back to the Land of the Living - can testify this. But anyhow.
WAS gonna mention the delightful little site Home Star Runner like I was all *original* and stuff, but whaddya know, Tycho from beloved Penny Arcade beat me to it on Wednesday. Pooty. Let me just let everyone know that it was a long, cold stretch of time for myself when I could not access that glory that is PA, and there was much rejoicing when this was once again possible. Just so you know. But yeah, go to Home Star Runner, and witness its fun. And I swear the main dude talks just like Brak, so yeah... yet another reason to go.
If you haven't read/heard about this yet, you best get to it. At the very least it'll make you laugh, and if you're like me, you may just need to change your undies after reading it, you've screamed with so much mirth. Too bad there's been no confirmed splashings since. Pity.
So yeah... Web Guy Josiah and I watched Celebrity Boxing on Wednesday night, and woo. Let me tell YOU. It was insanity. I could hardly watch, and wondered I should even be attempting to. I've since been seeking out others to share this experience with, to hope that someone can relate to my feelings of guilt and shame. Because somehow, there was a little, evil gremlin somewhere in my brain - that LIKED it. True, it wasn't so bad to see Paula Jones get the stuffing beat out of her by Tonya Harding (which I KNEW would happen, by the way... too bad I didn't have a fiver to two riding on it), but Willis versus Ice was too much like actual boxing (versus the "watch ex-celebrities tap nervously at each other for charity" that I was admittedly expecting), and Danny Partridge versus Greg Brady was just sad, Jeebus Bob. Brady-boy tasted the mat so many times it looked like he was taking a liking to the flavor. Yeep. But as I'm going to attempt to fight *against* that little sensation-loving daemon that dwells in my somewhat-vacant cranium, I'm gonna hold off on the contest for now, and save that for a better day... like when I have some idea of WHAT should be contested FOR. But yeah.
You think someone out there had ganked my identity... 'cause I ran across a nifty little webcomic called - get this - Annie the Hardcore Gamer, that is quite a quality strip. Made me have a bit of an identity crisis when I saw the title, tho: a very "what in the fuzzy...???" moment for me, and I couldn't help but think, "if this guy draws the main character chick with blond hair, I'm SO gonna shit myself." But no, all is good - especially this comic, which I'd be more than a little pleased to have a crossover with someday, if they'd deign to do such. Nice segway tho, dontcha' think? ::wink::
Whoa, Spring Break is approachin', and I got an essay to write in the near future, so I best turn myself to academic pursuits as well as workin' on the new comics, so I will leave ya for now. And you people may not have noticed it, but we're working on up to comic #50, so keep an eye out for that, or something. I don't know how much I can promise you, but I'll do my best - as I always do - not to disappoint. Peace out.
W - to the - H - to the double-E - WHEE,
Annie "Blue" VM
Baby, check this out, I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they start the love machine and I can love again
I'll remember what it was
- They Might Be Giants
"Man, It's So Loud In Here"
