Nothing

So why haven't I been posting? Well, because nothing is happening. No, really. Ian is in Toronto. Or something. Ragnarok has found a pretty effective way to tick me off. Chi has yet to return, and I don't think there have been any group chats this week. At least none that I was a part of. My Stargate SG-1 season 1 and 2 DVD sets have been keeping me pretty busy. Bofrearl started existing. Comics stopped existing. And once again, no work this week since it was all rainy and such. This has been such a rainy summer. Not the good rain, either. No thunderstorms or down pours. Just gray, misty, icky rain. Anyways, that's about it. I'll probably go continue working on comics. I'd like to get at least three done today. We'll see what happens though.

Ragnarok Online

That's right. I've become another victim to the addictiveness of DRUGS RAGNAROK ONLINE. Ian found me a snazzy private server and gave me some burned discs, so I wouldn't have to go through the tedious download times. Since, I've become completely hooked. Resistance is futile. Ragnarok has claimed my soul. :(

But other than that, pretty typical week. Worked. Made comics (Need to do two catch ups though! Oops!). Read. Idled on MSN all freaking day. Spending the day CHI-LESS. I swear, if I was stonger, didn't care about going to jail, and lived across the ol' Atlantic, I'd go and give BT a little Urza Smash. *TERRORIST THREAT, TERRORIST THREAT* Oh, just kidding. I would never do such a thing! *LIE, LIE, LIE* Hey, shut up. *OKAY*

Saturday's Happenings

Saturday was fun. Well, maybe not the work part. Because work is work. And I must say, Saturday's Market is a bit busier than Wednesday's. But other than that, pretty fun. My sister picked me up from Gritty's after work, and we went to some Clam Festival a few cities away. Why we celebrate clams? I haven't a clue. I don't even like clams. They did have some pretty yummy onion rings though. :) She, her boyfriend, and I did some little quarter-gambling thing very similar to roulette. And what do you know, we doubled our money! Too bad we only started out with $2. Then we went to her place and rented School of Rock, which was pretty funny. Jack Black cracks me up. That night, I got to sleep in the AC room. Ahhh, AC. Of course, I slept like a drugged panda. ;)
 
I HATE YOU, GOOGLE ADS.

Saturday Plans

Since I didn't go to the Wednesday Market this week, I'll be doing it on Saturday instead since I'm a greedy, greedy person who wants money. ;) After which, I'll be going to my sister's and spending the night. Thus, y'all probably won't be seeing much of me, and I probably won't be able to make a comic. So, you know, unless one of my five readers would like to make a guest strip, no Saturday comic. S'right.

Open Mic

I went down the street to some generic resteraunt. Ate some yummies. The real reason I went, however, was because they were having some open mic thing down there. I though that sounded neat, and it's not like I have much better to do on a Thursday night. And it was nice. They had, like, three guitar players who were really good and two singers what were very good as well. They mostly did country and blues stuff, which really isn't my type of music at all. But I usually find that talent is undenyable and more or less enjoyable on some level.

Chio, Come Home!

It's been about 8 days since The Chio said he'd have his internet back "in no more than 10 days." So I'm expecting him any day now. And he'd better show up. To think it's been about half a year since he got disconnected!

Grace Children's Orphanage?

Okay, honestly, WTF? I guess this really serves me right for posting my MSN address everywhere... :P

Weirdo: how areu?
Weirdo: i am emmanuel from india
Urza: Well hello Emmanuel. Er, do I know you?
Weirdo: no
Weirdo: this is first time meet you
Urza: Ah.
Urza: How'd you find this name then? O.o
Weirdo: bloggers files
Urza: Ohhh.
Weido: My father is founder of Grace Children’s orphanage I am the co-ordinator of orphanage in India.
Urza: Oh. Um. Neat.
Weirdo: We feed and care 120 orphan and abandoned children in india..
Urza: Well... that's very kind of you.
Weirdo: our orphanage childrne's is very poor
Urza: That's too bad. :(
Weirdo: Please send prayr full and financial help our Grace children’s Orphanage..
Urza: Prayer is against my religion.
Urza: So is financial help.
Weirdo: yes
Urza: Sorry. :(
Weirdo: Please send some financial help our needs our orphanage children's is very poor please send some money or things help our needs..
Urza: But you see, my religious texts say that anyone who offers financial help to foreign orphanages will be sacrificed. :(
Weirdo: ok
Weirdo: please send some things or some little money help our needs
Urza: Oh no! My religious leaders just found out I'm talking to you about this! Now I have to be sacrificed immediately!
Weirdo: ok
Weirdo: bye
Urza: AHHHHHH! OH GOD, THE PAIN! BYEBYEBYE!
*BLOCK*

I'd be going straight to Hell if there was one. ;)

No Worky

This is the first Wednesday that I haven't been working in a while since it's really too rainy and icky to be outside at the Market all day. Sooo I'm home all day. Whee.

And I'm proud to say that Oddities actually has some new comics! Ch-check it out!

Random Stuff

Hmmm. I wish those Google ads up top would stop saying I have cancer. :( Anyways, at lack of anything better to post, I give you... MSN conversation snippets!

Zefer: I have no clue what autism is, though. =b
Urza: It's like "living in your own little word".
Zefer: Shit.
Zefer: I want autism. =(
Urza: ...it's a mental retardation...
Zefer: ...Oh.
Zefer: ...I'm not sure I want autism.

Urza: Pity yiff, Baha?
Baha: ...What?
Urza: What?
jd: what?
Zefer: Am I supposed to say what?
jd: probably
Zefer: 'What?'
Urza: Way to crap on the oysters, Zefer.
jd: it makes them taste better
Zefer: How do you know that?
Urza: Well I guess a negative plus a negative has to equal a possitive, eh?
Baha: It's a negative multiplied by a negative.
Baha: A negative plus a negative would equal a greater negative.
Urza: I rest my case.
jd: i rest mine too.
Zefer: I don't have a case.
Urza: Yeah, you do! A NUTCASE!
Urza: *sitcom audience laughter*
Zefer: PWNED. =(
Baha: Going now...

Zefer: But... hmm... Saskatchewan is close to the US border as well, but it's friggin' FREEZING there.
Blitzy: and saskatchewan is in the middle isn't it? because then it makes sense it being a lot colder in the winter
Zefer: Yeah, Saskatchewan is kind of in the middle.
Blitzy: then it should be colder because it doesn't have any sea around it
Zefer: =O
Zefer: I see.
Zefer: Didn't know that. =b
Urza: Wouldn't places BY the sea be colder?
Rob: Yeah.
Zefer: I don't know how it works, but it seems true. =b
Blitzy: nah, which is why the UK is never that cold, because it's an island and surrounded by the sea
Baha: We had a question about that in Physics...
Baha: I just wrote something about pirates.

Mostly Unproductive

Whoa. It's been a while since I've posted something here. I'd say that I've been doing something awesome and productive, but that would be a lie. Well, I have been working on a website with Ian. I don't know if that's really going anywhere though. Probably not.

And I'd also like to add that I'm a horrible, horrible person for not updating Oddities enough. I'm horrible at keeping up with projects like that. It's like ADD on a larger scale. But with enough continuous punches from Mr. Catfish and Zefer, I might start getting some stuff up! Keep it coming, guys. The procrastination must come to and end.

Some Unexpected Aggression

Third day of work at the Market. Twas mostly normal besides some nutcase thug (perhaps a drunkard/druggy) that wanted to fight me. Here, I'll put it into a general dialogue for your viewing pleasure.

Nutcase: SEXUAL HARASSMENT!
Lady That Sells Roses Next To Me And My Dad: OHHH! HELP!
Me: CONFUSION!
Nutcase: HEY, I NOTICE YOU NOW!
Me: DAMN!
Nutcase: THREATENING STATEMENT!
Me: SILENCE TREATMENT!
Nutcase: OHHH! IT BURNS LIKE KRYPTONITE! I LEAVE NOW!

Now here's how it would go if I wasn't a wimp.

Nutcase: SEXUAL HARASSMENT!
Lady: OHHH! HELP!
Me: WHAT YOU SAY?!
Nutcase: HEY, I NOTICE YOU NOW!
Me: STATEMENT REFERRING TO VIGILANTE JUSTICE!
Nutcase: THREATENING STATEMENT PROBABLY WITH SOME SORT OF PUN!
Me: QUESTIONING NUTCASE'S ABILITY TO FIGHT!
Nutcase: SMACK TALK!
Me: SCRAWNY ARM SMAAAASH!
Nutcase: OHHH! PWNED! I LEARNED MY LESSON!

Haha. Yeah. Showed him.

X-Ray

My doctor wanted an x-ray of my chest for some reason. He had one, but apparently it was outdated. There was alot of resistance on my part. Along with some name-calling. But I eventually allowed them do their x-ray. I expect I should be recieving some kind of superhero powers at any moment now.

Also, happy (day-late) birthday, AaaSoC!

Kill Bill Vol. 1

Sooo... Kill Bill. Volume 1. Yeah. I'm not sure if I really enjoyed or really disliked this movie. On good side, samurais. Can't go wrong with samurais. Also, alot of cool Japanese culture stuff. Including a little scene of anime! However, you don't really know what's going on at all in this "volume". It's like, "Oh, she was going to get married. Oh, she didn't. Oh, people hate her. OH, SAMURAIS." I can only hope that the second one has some explanations. Also, someone needs to tell Tarantino how blood works. Because it most certainly doesn't erupt from wounds like volcanoes, as he depicts in this movie. Overall, odd movie. I'm still going to watch the other one though. ;)

Out With the Old!

My TV was getting old. Prehistoric, one may say. She always needed help to do the new, cool things. You know, like adapters for Gamecube and stuff. She just didn't have the sockets I needed! The neat Audio and Video ones! And in BED. Ohhh, in BED. There was never any ACTION in bed. You know, because there was no remote control! I couldn't even bring her out in public. She looked... outdated. She had that whole 90's look going on. So yesterday, girl! Things just weren't working out. The age difference was just... unbearable. So I did it. I left her for another wom- er, TV. I'll admit, I feel alot happier now with Durabrand 13" Color Television, but I can't help but feel guilty when I see little little 90's-Television-That-I-Don't-Have-The-Box-For-And-Thus-Can't-Tell-You-Its-Name staring back at me when I'm walking along. We'll both get over it, I'm sure. We had alot of good times, sure, but there's something special between me and Durabrand. Oh yes. I could just feel it when I watched a DVD with her. It was... magical. I think she enjoyed it as much as I did.

*rereads entry* ...I feel dirty. :P

How to Feed Pills to Cats and Dogs

Found it! :D

CATS:

1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm, as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot. Throw tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

14. Consume remainder of scotch. Get partner to drive you to emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Stop at furniture shop on way home to pick out new table.

15. Arrange for Humane Society to collect mutant cat. Call local pet shop to see if they have hamsters.

DOGS:

1. Wrap pill in bacon.

Cats are still way better than dogs though. ;) Waaay better.

PILLS = HAET

I went to the doctor today. For whatever reason, my mom made an appointment. I mean, I'm sick n' all, but it's not "go to the doctor" sick. At any rate, I'm taking some pill now. The kind you have to swallow WHOLE (I know that's most pills. Shut up.). It's like PURE EVIL poured into a tiny pill capsule. 'Cause, y'know, swallowing anything that big that isn't food pretty much sucks. When I took one, it kinda reminded me of that "How To Feed a Pill to a Cat" thing that Incu sent me a while ago. Hey, I'mma go try and find that. :D

Mystery of the Wha?

Rumor has it that everyone's favorite online adventure series is returning! A continuation of Mystery of the Forum and its shorter-lived sequel, Mystery of the Phorum is being planned by Rob, Zef, and me. It's still in the planning stages, but expect to see some more info on it soon.
