mySpace survey says . . . I have keyboard tourettes!

.: I should probably stay away from the mySpace. 

    Apparently, I have this very bad habit of occasionally filling out the survey/bulletin things.  Aside from the fact that it increases my pointless bandwidth footprint (which is large enough, thanks to this site), it seems that I am very, very crass.

    Which wouldn't be a problem if I remembered the sorts of things that I write down as answers.  I am oblivious to what I respond with.  I go full bore stream of consciousness when I jot down my quick answers to ridiculous questions.  And they're good answers.  Funny even, since people like to call me or email me with comments in regards to them, and they all seem to be amused.  

Example: Q. Sweats or Jeans?  A. I sweat trying to get into her jeans.  The fat whore.

    What the fuck is that about?

    But I'm glad that I'm amusing someone.  Even if it means that my 14 year old niece feels the need to scold me while she giggles at my answers.  Even if it means that the pope will excommunicate me again this year, even though it's only February and I remain purely a Catholic by birth.  Even if it means that a glance at the survey will cause spontaneous vomiting and bleeding eyes in members of the Second Life Wiccan community, and stigmata in household pets.

    Enjoy.

ARE YOU…
1. Perfect? I am fucking incredible. Which doesn't really answer the question. So I guess not.
2. Tall?: Taller. Taller than you, maybe. Not so tall as that guy, though.
3. In your pajamas?: I have no pyjamas, I sleep in some dingy pair of short that occasionally try to escape.
4. Left handed? Left handed people are evil bastards and fornicate succubi in drunken orgies while farm animals and senior citizens look on whilst chewing cud.

God I wish I was left handed.

LAST:
1. Friend you saw: Tara.
2. Talked to on the phone: Some bitch who thinks that her house is "freezing to death" and got mad when I explained that her house can't literally freeze to death, being a collection of inanimate objects and items thrown together to shelter and amuse her, and that said collection would be warmer if she paid her bill. People who don't pay their bills don't get to bitch like that. You got no money? I can understand that, believe me when I say this. But you got to get your shit in the proper perspective when you call the guy who can get you heat. (Shit, I don't have heat in the office, and this is what we do!).
3. Person to text you: I don't know. Shelly or Andi.
4. Was today better than yesterday? Not so far.

FAVOURITES:
1. Number: 42. No explanation necessary.
2. Colour(s): Purple, yellow and black. And fuck you, black is a color. Ask the people at the DMV. Of course, the boy genius in me disagrees. Which is why I don't let him take these fucking surveys with me.
3. Fruit: Lemon.
4. Place: Wherever I am when Angela is there. God, I really miss my kids.

.: My gateway to the worlds wides webs seems to be flaky.  I will bitch about this in every post until it is resolved.

Ill-Literates theme

.:I'm working on a new theme for the site.  The plan is to use what I'm using as a theme now, which is 'Freedom Black', as a main template and then using a lot of the stuff from the 'ComicPress' theme inside of it so that the main theme can be used for both.

    The first version is simply going to be the mash-up of the two.  What I'm hoping to do with that is to incorporate the comic into a 'static' page, as opposed to being something that WordPress is going to look for on the main blog.  

    What I'd like to do, in the end, is write the entire thing from scratch, and to set it up so that when you 'write' from the dashboard, the choices will be for a post, regular page, or a comic page (with the potential to write more than one comic).  

    I don't know how difficult or easy that will be, since I don't mess around with the core WordPress stuff so much.  I mostly just take other people's themes and fuck them all up.

    Version 0.1 Checklist

  •  mash up Freedom Black and Comic Press.
  • make it so that you can post a comic in a page.

    Easy checklist.  I just wish I could do most of it in the basement, instead of upstairs on the Windows ridden laptop where I have to run to reset the router every ten or fifteen minutes.

    And yes, Alex, it does make me insane.

Random! Damn you all! Random!

.: Just got home from work, a grueling 14 hour day.  Grueling because it started at 3am, and there was fucking shit to do the entire time. 

     Of course, it wasn't all bad.  I was able to finish the coloring on Jedi Jesus 002, and get it up on the comics page, which was a nice change of pace.  I mean, the fucking strip is on schedule, which is insane when you consider that I'm never on schedule with anything I promise on the interwubs. 

.:A while ago, like years and years ago, I once had this thing for this girl.  She was fun, funny and fairly cool.  It didn't really work out, like most of my relationships at the time-I was being heavily blocked by a faction of filthy, dirty psychotic girls who wanted me all to themselves, just not in any way that meant blowing dust off a condom wrapper.  I bumped into her a couple of times a few years ago.  Even had coffee once, and talked about her ex-husband who had the seriously unfortunate habit (apparently picked up from his family) of wiping his ass after taking a shit (no that's not the unfortunate habit), and then throwing the used, shitty toilet paper in the trash. 

    The bathroom trash.   Right in there.  Shit laden used toilet paper to share with the world.

    I wish I were kidding, and I must say that I think that this went far towards his being an "ex".

    So today, I was in the Hannafords (super-market) cashing my pay-check, when I saw her with some guy.  I hadn't seen her in years, and there she was with some guy who looked like he was a little soft in the head (but probably wasn't, I think that about almost everybody).  She looked really good.  Sounded really good.  Fuck, she even smelled really good. 

    So I ignored her.

    You see, that's the stupid shit I'm capable of.  Petty, shy or embarrassed, it's no excuse.  You should say hi to someone who has a giggle that makes you remember in one split second that you once really, really liked them, and why.

    So I suck.  And I'm comfortable sharing it.  That's what makes me a better person.  The whole innerwebs is like my fucking 12 step program.  If I see her again, I will say hello I think.

.:Speaking of 12 step programs and innerwebs:

    After some discussion with some folk, I want to state that you CAN NOT do re-hab or 12 step online.  You can get some support with your problem, sure. But if you're sitting in your room doing drugs or taking swigs of Jack Daniels between IM's, it doesn't count.

.:I really, really miss my girls.  

.:Finally, I will say that the new comic engine and possibly a new theme from scratch may be up this coming weekend.  Same with the Calendar, which I said last week and apparently LIED about. 

.:Go read Jedi Jesus or I will have cats shit on your keyboards.

    But not really.

    Because I don't have those resources.

Jedi Jesus: A Star is Born Part 2

Cold! Snow! Rain! Printer! Fuck this shit!

.: Well, I asked for it, eh? Things have been getting positively boring at work, almost to the point where personal grooming at my desk becomes an attractive option.  Even on the chilly days, things have been on the slow side. 

Well, this week so far has made up for everything that hasn't happened.  And it's only fucking Wednesday.

Frigid temps Sunday and Monday meant that there was a shit load of work to be done at KOSCO (which is an oil & lp supply and service company).  Then on top of a load of work Tuesday, it starts to fucking snow.

And snow.

And snow.

When I got home, I shoveled a couple of times, trying to keep ahead of it while waiting to hear from work that the night guy couldn't come in.  But I guess he did, since they never called. I finally went to bed at 11 (which is now late for me, I'm such a loser when it comes to work hours, starting at 6am, means up at 4:44am for me.  I like reading a chapter of my book on the can, and enjoy long, hot showers).

This morning. It rained. And poured. Turning the snow into slush and ice and fuck.

So work started out busy, when the network and the printer shit the bed.  That printer is the fucking heart of KOSCO.  All work comes off that printer.  They spent the morning trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong.  The afternoon trying to install a new printer. And a few minutes at the end of the day realizing that it was the network (which I had been saying all along) that was fucked.

Then I left.

And now I'm home.

And I post this hastily because I didn't want anyone to think I was on some extended lazy-ass hiatus.

And now I have work to do on the all new comic, all new comic engine and redesigning my site by coding from scratch.

As if I have that kind of fucking time.

Love,

Fucking Router

.: Just took me five minutes to post the last post, and it may take me another five to post this one. The wireless router keeps shitting the bed, a nice dump into the house network.

My system is in the basement office where I do most of my interwub things.  I like my system. I like Ubuntu and the mouse that I use for pointy/clicky.  I like the basement.

But everytime the router upstairs shits the bed, it means that whatever web work I'm working on is potentially lost when I click to save, because I don't know when I've lost connection.

I'm hardwired to the wireless through some cat5 through the floor from router 1 to router 2 (which is a hardline/wired router).  So I have to trudge up the stairs, reset the router and plod back down and hope that it hangs on long enough to finish some work.  

When you're fucking with the css and design of a website one step at a time to mash things together, this is problematic.

So now I'm working upstairs on the wireless laptop, running windows, and only having to walk ten feet each time the router shits.

And I wanted to bitch.

And I wanted to bitch to you.

So thanks, people of Earth!

WebComic Engine running at 75% power, Captain!

[thumb:22:l]Yes, the WebComic Engine is running.  

Still needs some work, of course.  Now that I've got the style to match up with the main site, I need to tinker with the content section below the comic.  

And write, draw and color more comics of course.

I'll have to add a logo at the top of the comic, something I hadn't considered when I was planning on using WordPress for the comic, but I'm going to stick with ComicShout for now, and I'll play with other avenues as the mood takes me.

So check out the comic page, and let me know what you think of not only Jedi Jesus, but the whole look of the area.  Remember it's still being worked on, but all comments, suggestions and hate mail is welcome
