not much to examine, nothing left to hide

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 13, 2008, 7:36 PM
tra la, tra la. i disappeared again, sorry about that. but again, still not dead, though i've been having enough dental stuff to kill anyone.. including another anesthesia-related appointment tomorrow. yes, valentine's day. at eight in the morning. wish me luck (or liquor).

but i'm not dead yet, even though my internet is slightly zombified.. it's been really icky lately, especially between all the power outages and wind-blowing-down-phone-lines unpleasantness. i haven't been doing nothing, though, and i will hopefully upload some proof of this tonight, and then go through the billion comments/journals/deviations i have queued up for me. but worst case, i'll upload some written deviations and then save the arts for when i've several hours to kill online. perhaps while i'm sleeping..

i finally picked up xenosaga2 again, after being frustrated by the necessary levelbusting. twilight princess and okami spoiled me.. ^^; but i finished the first disc, which was, like, 17 hours of gameplay. granted, i always take every item and got to about level 26 or 27, but still. that seems a bit... low, i guess. lots of cutscenes, music files, large maps or textures? i really ought to learn more about just how much can be put on a game disc. i already know about placement (where you put a file so it loads the most quickly, etc.) but i really know so little about how much space is taken up by in-game-engine cutscenes versus "enhanced model" cutscenes versus completely outside-rendered cutscenes versus whatever else.. aand no one cares, lol. ;P

i also have been doing 2 hours of DDR every day. and i'm thrilled, because i've already lost 7lbs in about a week. go me! ^_^

ooh, and i made it into the byako round robin tourney! :excited: i'm so super thrilled about this. even though i'm up against some really awesome people who will doubless thrash me, even just in my bracket. regardless, i will cling to the excitement for as long as possible before slipping into an abysmal hopelessness that will come with the inevitable realization that i need work on my comicking skills and can't draw action poses, let alone lengthy and involved fight sequences. but let's cross that bridge when we come to it, shall we?! (i am ash's vehement optimism.) in the next few days, i will probably work on drawing some other action-sceney-type-stuff (read: linzy, you're going to be getting some arts soon ;P) in order to not fail so hard.. i have been plotting for my first match. there are wings, breakfast pastries, tiny parachuters, latin, and an atrocious hairdo thus far. depending on how time goes, i might post my rough sketches for feedback before i go through the hours of inking and colouring. or i might just flail around and post the finished pages an hour before this round's deadline and request consolation. :nod:

speaking of comment-whoring, i have just posted two chapters for the first tale in project codename: pirates versus ninjas (and have hidden the atrocious drabbles that i posted before.. *shudder*). this arc of three stories focusing on amaya and hikaru will be called twilight of the gods (i think. this might change), and the first book is called "avatar". so yeah, go read chapter one [link] and two [link] , and tear them apart. :D
