So much to say, so little time... I've been very ill since Wednesday. Well, ok, it was only
Wednesday that I was very ill (by the time I got home at about half six, I was trembling
like a leaf, had a raging fever and could barely manage to fall into bed and wrap up warm.
Managed to break the fever on Wednesday, and have been fighting the tail-end of what seem to
have been 24-hour-flu... for two days... (how can 24-hour flu still be around after 72 hours?!
Not fair!). Anyway, I'm most of the way back to health now, I just have a nasty cough and a
runny nose. I hate being ill.
Still, it didn't adversely affect my performance with regards to the Drunken Scribblings. I
have been macro-plotting (for those of you who don't 'do' jargon, macro-plotting is a made-up
word to describe the action of planning the overreaching story arc of something. And yes,
trust me, there is a massive overarching story arc to the Drunken Scribblings.5+ years of it,
I reckon.) Ph34r the plot! Ph34r...
Today's page isn't so bad either, huh? I promised you funny and, well, I did my best. I was,
of course, thinking of this family reunion, though I could just as easily have been thinking
of this one... (yes, I know it's not technically a family reunion, but it counts because I say
it does, damn it!
For those of you who know enough to care, that's a Loveless tribute in the last panel. Don't
worry, though, MCG is not Soubi (Soubi would never hide his pretty face like that... ;) ).
Now, a couple of words about anime; I've had a strange week. Since about Tuesday, I've been
watching Futakoi Alternative. It's a work of deranged genius. The first four episodes are
very silly. Then it's a tragic love story to rival Iriya no Sora. Then... well, watch it and
find out, but be prepared for weirdness. The squid-nazi-klan cult whose salute, Ika-su, is
translated as 'Squid Heil' mark perhaps the peak of the weirdness (don't worry, they're bad
guys), but it's a close-run thing.
In other news, episode 32 of Eureka 7 is out and, well, it's not quite as good as ep 31 in
some ways (given that it doesn't have the surprise value that 31 did), but it does have the
Nirvash's Spec-2 form and board, which are awesome. Truly, truly awesome. I have one question,
though; what is it with this show and driving off cliffs?!
'Til next time,
Rik
NEW FEATURE! BIZARRE THINGS I'VE SAID!
Every so often, I come out with sentences so sublimely bizarre I feel I need to share them
with people. I'm hoping to have at least one a week from here on out. First, an exchange
which took place a couple of weeks ago at RPGsoc:
Charles: You sold my dog?!
Me: You're dead. Shush.
