Saw Clone Wars this weekend after drooling over the Force Unleashed game previews. Snips was adorable! I know, I am girly… I can’t help it. I love her. I hope it was her I saw in the previews for the new game. I can not wait to play it! It looks sooooo cool! I might die of happiness. Also I continue to be my fangirl little self and happily envision swinging my wiimote as a light saber. I love swinging my wiimote for any reason, though… so you can just ignore me.

Update! Lots of things are changing in my life right now. I am finally a student again. School will start September 2nd and for the first time in 8 years (since high school) I will be studying hard science again. No more Psychology for me. It is interesting, but it doesn’t pay and it is mostly paperwork. Booooring. Back to Biology. On to a more lucrative career. I’m really excited. I can’t wait! I’m also pretty nervous because I have been out of school for 4 years now. I only have 11 credits, but I’m also going to try to work. I need to try and get an easy client… I am also going to change companies because another one will pay me more and apparently give me more options client-wise.

I am going to continue to draw while I’m in school. I’ve never been able to make the left brain or right brain decision (that’s not really how it works you know!). I like my science and my art, so I’ll take both, thank you very much!

I have been running all around, making crazy phone calls and filling out paperwork for like two weeks now because of all these changes. I’m trying to get life to settle into some sort of pattern, but I’m not sure that will happen until September. I might have much more free time soon, though- hours for work will be in a dead period between camp and school again. Good thing about that is that I will have a chance to go get more paperwork done for jumping companies… bad thing is no work for pay for a few weeks and having to take the time to DO all of that stuff. Gah, gotta get fingerprinted again!

Anyway, I hope to have time to update more. I really am very excited about what is going to happen next. I actually have the whole thing drawn out already. Stay tuned.

Just in case you don’t watch horror movies or for some other reason don’t get this comic’s classic reference: here.  I am tired, so that is all.

Wil and I went to Warped Tour this past Friday across the river. It was so much fun! There were a few people there to feed the geek need. We saw MC Chris on a tiny stage with much less people than we’d be surrounded with at an anime con. It was pretty funny to see how people who are not in to geek culture so much reacted to the man. Lots of frightened stares. Some laughter. More laughter when they realized some of the stuff he was saying. He made everyone run in place and then called them his bitch. Teeheeheh. Ore Ska Band was also there, and they are so awesome! I love them! I love their music and their energy! Anime fans would know them from one of the endings of Naruto, and one from Bleach. Aside from that it’s been work work work for us. I’ll be sending another update your way soon!

A couple of weeks back Zero Punctuation did a great criticism about the state of webcomics in general, and even though this sadly comic falls into a few of Yahtzee’s more harsher critiques (Read: main character, straight guy and girl with mallet) I still think that it deserves a watch and there are many a thing that can be learned from it, even if you disagree with him.

There’s a comic. Was planning on having it up a bit sooner, but our technical failures continue to abound. A computer broke, but we had more Frankencomputers lying about. (One perk of husband’s ability to build something out of nothing given enough motivation.) They mostly didn’t work, but …well we whipped one into shape… How else could we watch Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog along with everyone else in the Universe?

Saw the Dark Knight movie last night… at midnight… reminded me why we stopped doing that. We’re all old and have to go to work. Midnight movies are not what they use to be. Wil LOVED it. I thought it was ok. I’m a Superman girl, and always find Bruce to be lacking and wish Clark would just show up and really save the day already. Also- I really didn’t like Maggie Gyllenhaal in this movie. There were other things I didn’t like and some stuff that I loved, but it can be summed up by the fact that I just can’t watch Batman without wanting Superman instead. So I’ll leave the talking about this movie to people who will do it more justice than I.

Finally Wil Wheaton, my favorite source for great geek news, linked the new Star Trek Movie poster for all of us to see. I literally went from not wanting to sit through a Kirk movie to being a very happy little girl in one second. I just… really don’t like Kirk or Shatner, usually. I assume it is because I am younger and I, you know, love Picard with his Prime Directive and don’t like the cowboy that can’t act thing. Quick! It’s an Evil Cloud! Shoot it! The new poster just looks so… cool. I was drawn in by it.

So, tablet broke. That’s the big OH NOES currently, but it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal since I was still able to do above comic without it. Whoo hoo?

I was saddened to read today on Wil Wheaton’s Awesome Blog that Star Trek: The Experience is closing. Saddened might be a mild word for how my geek heart is breaking at this news, but I guess it will do. I really wanted to go and see the bridge and get beamed up and chased by Klingons. I don’t see me being able to go before it closes, though. The whole young and poor thing is in the way. I know as we get older we’ll have more money, but by then my Star Trek fantasy will be gone. …and the new movie is about Kirk. I still can’t get over that. Wtf are these people doing to me? I miss Star Trek. I mourn Serenity. The Sci Fi section at the book store is filled with fantasy and BAD vampire novels.* Science Fiction just seems to be a road to heart break right now.

I hope that it’s all like Wil says and it is just a cycle. I need good worlds to explore, and the well seems to be running dryer these days.

*Note that I love Fantasy more then Science Fiction, and I like good vampire novels… but where has all the sci fi gone?

The site is shifting and changing once again. I think I finally got the code right where I want it. It’s not all smooth and nice…. sometimes it is a little rough around the edges, but it’s mine.

I updated Side Quest this weekend, so there is a new comic there for everyone to go and check out!
