If Windows 7 doesn't make the tablet functionality on this thing work better, I'm sending it back to Fujitsu and getting another Toshiba.

I hate the first week of the month.  Credit card bill, student loan repayment.... it's even worse when I only made like, $90 this past week D:

Somebody come to the restaurant and leave me a $100 tip.

So, I'm going to try to get back into the habit of working out every morning.  But, with the treadmill's motor still burnt out, I'm going to try to play DDR for 10-15 minutes for cardio instead.  See if I can lose at least five more pounds by Christmas.

Work wouldn't let me wear my Rorschach mask, thinking it might be too scary for kids.  Good thing there wasn't a SINGLE kid that came in.  Gee, I wonder what small children were doing tonight?  Friggin' geniuses.

Rosey, if you read this, we need to be the D next year if you're around.  I'll be KG, you be JB.

Sappy ending note: Kim is freakin' amazing.  Very happy with the way this is going.

Don't forget to set your clocks back, people.

The 'rents are gone until December!

Already moved my computer desk, drafting table, game consoles... pretty much the whole grid into the living room.  Pleased about that.

Whether I'll move it all back before Christmas, I don't know...  I don't think they'll be hacked.  Moderately annoyed for the week that they're back, but whatever.  One week out of six months?  They can deal.  Work at 5:30, wearing my Rorschach costume.  Bringing a TMNT mask just in case visibility becomes an issue, and I can be Raphael incognito.



Moving furniture is tough when you're flabby with very little upper body strength.  *collapse*

Woop, I was meaning to do the pencils on page 18 today, and instead I tinkered with the new lappy all day...  I'll try to get some roughs down before bed, anyway.

Day off tomorrow, whoo!  Ben and Tina are coming down for a bit, and Ben says he'll hook up the new laptop with the Microsoft Office Suite :D  Couldn't get that torrent of CS4 to install, and I deleted my install files for CS3 to make room.  Good job, me.  I think I found a good torrent of the CS3 install, and even if I didn't, Zack can hook me up with it again, so overall, good times.  I'll try to install that on the new lappy tomorrow and test out Photoshop in it.

Speaking of, not thrilled with the tablet functionality on it so far :/  It feels more cumbersome than even my four-year-old Toshiba.  Maybe I should have sprung for the T5010 series, eh?  Should still work fine, just won't be as luxurious as the tablet functionality on the old one.  And the pros of the new one far outweigh the cons, so I have very little to complain about.

Gonna try to pencil page 18 of Redeemers #1 tomorrow, and I'll ink it on Thursday.  I also wanna try to catch Zombieland on one of my days off, here.  Maybe I'll go on Friday before work...

Sup guys?

Not much new to report.  I ordered my new laptop.  I'm getting a Fujitsu Lifebook this time.  It's still a tablet PC, and Fujitsu's supposed to be one of the best tablet PC-makers out there.  The one bummer is that it's not coming preloaded with Windows 7.  I have to wait for the upgrade package to come in the mail next week.  The awesome thing is that I got $100 off- they were having a special- and a free printer- they were having ANOTHER special!  Going to Office Depot tomorrow and picking up one of those external cooling units, too.  I have a coupon for $10 off any purchase over $30.

My parents are leaving for Florida in six more days, and then I'll have the house all to myself for six months (save for the few days they're coming back over Christmas).  Think I'm going to move my drafting table, game consoles, DVDs, and computer desk out to the living room for while they're gone.  Have a nice little office setup while they're gone with the big-screen TV.

I also need to remember to call the businesses I interviewed at tomorrow to follow up.  Max and Erma's... I doubt I got it if they haven't called back by now, but I'm not thrilled at the prospect of driving clear out to Great Lakes Crossing every time I have to work anyway.  I really hope I get Trillium, though.  I gotta call GameStop, too.

Almost through with Redeemers #1!  I'm on page 17 right now, which means counting this one, I have 8 pages left, plus the official cover.  And holy crap.  I never admitted it, but I wasn't thrilled with how pages 9-16 came out, but 17 is coming out GREAT.  Wil got his groove back.  After I finish issue one, I think I'm gonna take a break and do a dozen or so Cowabunga! pages.

That's all from me for now, party people.  Later.

Sick of all this "close til open" nonsense at work.  Four weeks in a row now.  Kill me.

• Finish pencils and ink The Redeemers #1 page 16
• Go to the bank
• See Zombieland?

I really should finish up those rough pencils for Redeemers tonight... but I'm just so tired, and it's not even midnight yet... doing it tomorrow.

Had an interview at Trillium Theaters the other day.  The guy who was interviewing me told me that there were 13 other applicants that they had interviewed, so my odds aren't great.  Though, I did get a decent rapport going with the guy- it turned into less of an interview and more of a conversation.  So maybe he'll remember that.  He made it sound like he was one of the higher ups, like the guy that did work for several theaters in the general area owned by the same company.  So we'll see.  Expecting to hear from Max and Erma's and Sweet Factory this week, too.

Ordering my new laptop in four more days, stoked about that :D

So, Justin just pointed out to me that the Nostalgia Critic had posted two videos forming his top 20 favorite films of all time. I didn't notice them when they went up last month, so I just watched them a few minutes ago.

And wouldn't you know it, now I want to write up my own.

( Wil's Top 20 Favorite Movies )

So that's my top 20 movies of all time. Any thoughts? What are yours?

Okay, for all his faults, George Lucas does have his funny moments.  I'm watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and I just noticed that the club that the opening sequence takes place in is called "Club Obi Wan".

Why yes, I did just buy The Sandlot.

I love this movie...

"Is it weird that I have the presence of mind to color in Dex's nipples?"

Oh, Eric.  You are a silly bitch.

I have an interview at Max & Erma's restaurant on Thursday afternoon.  Heeere's hopin'.
