While checking comics, I was just asked by Firefox for a username and password to “PVP is down for some tech stuff.” That’s actually pretty damn slick.

NHB is now on. Fuck I’ve missed listening to NHB.

Oh, and someone tell Damon that NHB is now on the front page of Stickam. It isn’t, but calling up and declaring it is the cool thing to do now.

If you don’t know what Stickam is, it’s a fucking hole that quality enters, but never escapes. It’s a place for you to broadcast via webcam. NHB simulcasts there, but is constantly being kicked off their scheduled slot on the frontpage to make room for a couple of kids making crank calls, “Epileptic Gaming,” and user-submitted videos. They’re bumped for fucking YouTube reruns, who the fuck is running that site?

Ah well, at least I can listen, and Autopodcaster is actually working so I can get caught up on the stuff I missed. Woo.

Finally got my internet back up. I’m annoyed that I have to pay a $50 installation fee for something I could’ve done myself, but it did get me out of work early, and it made me completely miss what appears to be, in technical terms, a whole metric fuck ton of rain. I also did a little bit of work, nothing too spectacular, and I’ll back-post it once I get my router plugged in. (Apparently my ISP would frown upon the use of a router, but I doubt very much that their WiFi modems have a firewall, and I’m not paying extra for it regardless.)

I don’t think I mentioned it here, but my roommate’s lease ended this month, meaning that his obligation to the cocksuckers at Kimberly Woods is completed, and my obligation to help him finish said lease is also completed. (And my new place is nice.) My internet isn’t hooked up yet, but moving means I haven’t drawn anything to put up here anyhow. I’m expecting to have Comcast all sorted out by the end of the week, hopefully, so in the meantime I’m gonna finish this and unplug the modem. (For some reason they require me to turn it in, even though I’m moving literally down the street. Oh well.)

Also, my (now former) roommate’s keyboard sucks, and the Sumo Omni is totally worth the money. (It was also considerably easier to get up two flights of stairs than the couch I would’ve otherwise bought.)

Nothing drawn, but I did get the new page finished. Pretty much just puts a menu at www.brimzero.net with links to all the comics, instead of going straight to Brimzero. I kinda like it.

Also updated my contact info. Woo.

…what a conundrum.

I’ve been re-reading the Harry Potter books, and I can’t remember there ever being anything special for Thanksgiving like they have on Halloween and Christmas. Do they celebrate Thanksgiving in England? These are the things I wonder while waiting for the next book.

From the long list of shit I wanted to say today:

“What the fuck do I fucking care if your dog ‘is nice!?’ Getting knocked off my bike doesn’t depend on how cheerful your dog’s disposition is, you FUCKING CUNT. What the fuck is wrong with you, taking three dogs out without any fucking leash on any of them? There’s a leash law in this city for a fucking reason you goddamn semen repository. And what the fuck are your kids doing out with you? Are you fucking collecting every small animal that could run into the street and cause a fucking accident? Are those YOUR kids? What colossal fuckup with all that is just and holy allowed you to fucking breed?”

I have a newsflash for all you dog owners. If your dog just wants to run up and say “hi, wanna be friends,” I AM STILL GOING TO HIT THE PAVEMENT. What’s more, a dog running up to play looks disturbingly similar to a dog running up to commit evil. Which is all beside the point as this city has a fucking leash law!

On the positive, NHB is fucking hilarious tonight. Assuming autopodcaster is actually autopodcasting again, you should totally download the No Holds Barred show for May 2.

Apropos of nothing, I was thinking of starting up a podcast. Just imagine the first part of this post shouted instead of typed. Actually I was planning on doing comics (because there aren’t enough comic podcasts already), but I’m now sorely tempted to just yell for 45 minutes about the complete idiots in this goddamn city. Maybe I’ll do both. It’s not gonna be anytime soon since I don’t have the hardware to record two people at once currently, and I doubt I could do this solo. Even one other person would make this a lot easier. Maybe I’ll see if I can’t talk someone into doing it via Skype or something, I know next to nobody local anyhow. Ah well, random thoughts and more random vitriol. I think I’m gonna try and draw something now.

Aw, I liked him better when I thought he had a cool soviet accent.

Ah well, still a pretty decent comic. Now off to work. Yaaaay.

I should name all my posts after whatever I just heard on NHB automation. God bless video vamp. ^_^

I think I forgot to mention this, but check out savenetradio.org and check that out. It’s the RIAA doing RIAA-type stuff, basically trying to turn all of internet radio into a division of Clear Channel.

I took off early from work and managed to waste an entire day, so nothing drawn.

Also? This is so damn cute.

As per usual, if you haven’t been listening to NHB, you are missing the fuck out.

I spent the weekend playing GTA and generally wasting time. And marvelling at this page of The Wotch’s Sunday Special. Those expressions are so very cute.

Something that keeps me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside: My job is not to entertain people, least of all someone who has some beef with the content of the comics. As it turns out, my job is to move lumber and drive a forklift with reckless disregard for OSHA guidelines.¹ If I shipped you crap lumber, then you can bitch.² This is a happy thought for me.

¹ Not being a complete idiot, I actually stick fairly close to what OSHA³ says is right by virtue of the fact that it’s mostly common sense anyhow.
² Actually, one guy did. He couldn’t remember who gave it to him, but I was standing right there when he whined at my boss. He didn’t point out that he never once got out of his truck and helped, or even looked at what I was giving him.⁴ Picking out “good” lumber is another of those things that aren’t my job.
³ The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is responsible for keeping your workplace safe. No matter where you work, odds are that if it’s legit, OSHA provides equal parts necessary safeguards that you likely take for granted, and worthless bureaucracy that any good employee will turn a blind eye to.
⁴ Fuck you, he had it coming! I’m friendly and helpful to most customers, but goddamned if some people just plain don’t deserve it.
