"We were having a nice coffee-shop talk here, and then it got derailed by screaming teenage girls.... as I wish more things in my life were." - Dinesh, 01/16

I just bought a T-shirt from the fencing club that says "Does your vorpal blade go snicker-snack?" For cheaps, too. Awesome.

I always forget what I want to post about by the time I get around to doing so. I did have a curious converation with the sun yesterday, though. Or rather, I yelled at it like a loonie. It went something like, "Aghhhh!! *sunglasses* Oh, you think you're so bright and shiny, huh? Well, hahaha, sucker! Bite me!" I really don't know why they classify the sun as male; it's so obviously female. I had seen (pluperfect, fwee!) the sunrise that morning, and it was soft and beautiful, but by afternoon, the sun was cold, unhelpful, and harsh. Bah.

So, I think I should've posted this earlier, but anyway. This one is pretty much done by now, but I think this one still has some life in it yet. I just think those things are so cool.

Speaking of so cool, I recently acquired two new webcomics worth reading. Questionable Content is a somewhat popular strip about post-education cynical indie kids, if you like that sort of thing. The art could be better, and the characters more distinct, but in a genre full of comics one almost can't tell apart, this one is at least funny most of the time.Fade Resistant, on the other hand, is a great (and, I fear, greatly unknown) comic about hicks and the afterlife. Maybe I just really like the idea of an afterlife with a loophole, maybe I just really like the idea of the Devil as a chubby, pimply, nerdy guy called 'Eno', or maybe I just really want a Julio Vargas plushie doll. In any case, check this one out. The art is good-looking, the characters have an awesome (but not necessarily large) amount of depth, and the plot resembles a dream in that it makes perfect sense at the time.

'Acquire fire' sounds really, really cool, don't you think?
