The Sprinkler Incident
May 8, 2007

So - without ruining the comic, basically, yeah - that's what happened. To quote something I wrote about the incident:
"Basically this afternoon - around 3:30 - I was lazily sitting in my jammies, staring at my computer, trying to come up with a comic for tomorrow. [note: that would be for TODAY, ladies and gents, FYI]
"Then the fucking sprinkler main in our goddamn wall EXPLODED. As in - a hissing sound started that seemed like Satan himself was angry at the right side of the room, I called Josiah, and then BWOOOOSH a fucking torrent of water through the wall, Evil Dead style. Josiah lunged up onto the guest bed like he was the Flash and slapped his hands over the hole in the wall, holding the water back (I should remind you that this wasn't a pissy little main, this was a sprinkler main, and they pressurize that shit at 185 PSI. For the layman, that fucking HURTS. Like a tiny firehose)."
Basically, our guest room is pretty fucked. Oh, I mean our STUDY. Right now our computers (thank god they were on the other side of the room, and I ran to unplug them and try and sop up the water with towels as soon as I could) are set up on our kitchen table, and all the stuff from the study (our most cluttered room in the apartment - hoo-fucking-RAY!) is spread throughout the rest of our apartment. Our cats are safe at the little "pet hotel" at the vet's, and we're lucky enough to be able to stay in our own beds. But man - always with a constant stream of workmen in and out of this place, and with Sunday taken up entirely with attempting to get our shit in order... yeah, Friday's comic is up in the air right now. Going to do my best to BS one for then like I did today (and I felt like I HAD to get the telling down in comic form), but hey - if you want to help out with a guest comic or anything, I have to say - now would be the time. And much appreciated it would be, I tell you WHAT.
Anyhow. I've got to get myself to sleep or disaster, so I'ma bid you guys a fond goodnight and leave you with this delicious piece of news: Warren Ellis (of Planetary and Transmetropolitan and New Wave and a lot of other wonderful things) is writing THREE NEW ANIMATED CASTLEVANIA FILMS. No shit. Not for kids (not porn, mind, but just - you know, not for KIDS. An actual MOVIE-movie! GLEEEE!) and Koji Igarashi, the producer of, well, all the games. Check out the blog for it and try not to pee yourself a little with glee. I nearly did! It's tricky!
