still learning to play with my new camera.

i want more comics had a pretty good spread at the vendor booth. i picked up the incognito trade from them. i picked up the first issue way back when and somehow managed to miss all of the rest. oops. i also picked up a copy of daredevil: visionaries (vol 1 and 2) by frank miller.  i do have the issues that make up these trades in a short box somewhere in my sister’s basement, but it’s always nice to have a trade to flip through and read on a whim.

pdubz and i both had fiona staples and amy reeder do sketches for us. i asked for me to be drawn as a robot (and holding scissors?) and pdubz got herself being eaten by a dragon and a nice little unicorn with a gem eyeball.

below is a video of the afterthoughts, i don’t feel like effin around with the audio though, so you can just deal with the quiet spots.

here is one of my first test videos done at work. it’s pretty overcast outside and the light inside is pretty minimal. overall, the quality of video isn’t TERRIBLE for a tiny tiny camcorder. also take note i did convert it to flash and it lost some quality there to.

video was converted with adobe media encoder – flv web-medium widescreen setting.

also, i was up until 3 am playing mass effect 2. it’s pretty good.

i’ve played some games, applied for a bunch of jobs, settled into my new living space and have been trying to figure out what to do with myself. seriously.

over the last couple of days i’ve been toying with the idea of running a star wars campaign. having never actually gm-ed a game before, i think i’ll just take the epic dawn of defiance campaign up on the wotc site and try that out with some folks. also a good excuse to buy a bunch of star wars minis.

and in other news, i’m sick.

again.

now i need to get my grad school apps together, study for the gre, and find a job. i did recently find a new apartment so i need to start packing too. i am also still working on my senior design project. i want it to be up and running. i also have a few projects in mind that i would like to work on. those can come at a later date though.

when this is all said and done, or maybe at some point in the meantime i will catch up on my comic books, video games, and tv shows/movies. honestly, i don’t think there will be a point where i will become too bored. i am SO BEHIND on everything. i visited my local comic shop last week and picked up the stack of comics that had been in my pull list for the last 6 weeks. yikes. i missed a lot of good stuff. i’m kind of bummed that straczynski wont be doing thor anymore.

i also decided it was time to finally sit down and watch all of boogiepop phantom. i have had the box set for about 6 years now and have never watched all 12 episodes. it’s time. also, a lot of my books will be going into storage shortly so i thought it necessary to pull out a few and have lying around so i can actually get around to reading them. yeah!

on the videogame front. i recently purchased a wii. so basically i have to catch up on all the good games that came out for it since launch. i have yet ot beat any of the ps3 games i own…and i just bought a few more. i started dragon age: origins on the xbox 360 but had to stop when school started getting intense again, so i do wan to finish that up…and i got an early copy of bayonetta. whoo! and then the slew of psp and ds games that keep coming out. man, oh man.

i should be polishing up my resume but i feel kind of sick and out of it. i should probably go to bed. i think i’ll just read a few comics first. i almost forgot they were sitting in a pile.
