New Comic, new site
As some of you may know, I'm working for a new company now, called HostMySite.com. I'm getting some domain space from them, as well. The new site (same as the old site) is up at www.deathofnames.com. I also have a new comic up here.Anyway, I have to get up in 7 hours, so, bed time. 'night, kids. Current Mood: tired | | Friday, June 22nd, 2007 | | 7:21 pm |

Okay, people, here we go. I have updated the comic. As always, the newest comic can be viewed here. My plan is to update every week day, but, since I missed yesterday, I'm posting two today. they can both be viewed on the aforementioned page. Anyway, that's it, have fun.

Morning!
There's a certain irony in throwing the box that your trash bags came in. Current Mood: friggidy-friggidy-wakka-wakka | | Friday, May 18th, 2007 | | 4:48 pm |
New Stuff
I've updated the comic. This may be close to the last one for a while. From now on, any new comics will be here.I'll try to post something here every time I update. Have fun. Current Mood: hungry | | Thursday, May 17th, 2007 | | 1:07 pm |
Pity me
Okay, so, its finally happened. I've finally fallen to the bug that seems to bite people at random times throughout their lives. Well, some people. More than it should, but I digress. I have joined the ranks of the web-comic artists. My comic has elements I've stolen from other places, but hopefully enough originality to off-set that. Anyway, here it is. Or at least, the first one. I'll post more as they come to me, and as people bug me to do so. Have fun, and good luck. Current Mood: hungry | | Thursday, May 3rd, 2007 | | 1:54 am |
I am a sick fucking bastard
There's a new cell phone commercial (Cingular, I think). And they have a deal going for Mother's Day (oh shit, that's coming up, isn't it), where you get a free phone when you buy something else. What amuses me is the commercial ends with "...and get your mom a free red pearl." I've always wanted to add "...and make sure to polish it well!" If you didn't get that joke, you're not a pervert, congratulations. Current Mood: hungry | | Monday, April 23rd, 2007 | | 9:10 pm |
Ciagra
So, I'm watchin' TV. And I see one o' those commercials for Cialis. One of the warnings they give is "Don't drink alcohol to excess..." You all know what Viagra and, by extension (I'd imagine), Cialis really are, right? They're Vasal dilators. That means that they make your blood veins bigger (Viagra was originally an anti-heart attack medication). Now, that means that your blood flows faster. That means you get drunk faster. Hmm, alcohol + Viagra = cheap drunk! Yay! Oh yah, and priapism? If I ever have priapism, fuck my doctor, I'm calling 911. Current Mood: hungry | | Thursday, March 1st, 2007 | | 12:39 pm |
OMGOSHAROFLBYOB
So, okay, I'm playing this game, Tron 2.0. Honestly, not a very good game. No real innovations in terms of game play, just a standard FPS. But, its a Tron FPS, which is major bonus points, in my book. Anyway, here's my rant: Whoever designed those workspaces...in the (somewhat perverted) words of Wil Smith, "You needa get OSHA in here quick, 'cuz...damn." Now, for those of you who haven't played the game, I won't do much in the way of spoileers, not that I'd be giving much away, regardless. For those of you who haven't seen the movie...you need to. Right now. Go ahead and rent it, I'll wait. ... ... Okay, I'm just stopping that, that joke's been over-used so many times...but that's a different rant. Now, the movie is freaking amazing, and you should all see it. If nothing else because it has some of the most amazing special effects I've ever seen, even now, and given what the people making the damn thing had to go through... I'm also not going to give spoilers for that, well, not much, anyway. And thus begins the ranting. So, OSHA, please, for the love of all things un-holy, get in there. Seriously. Not, I'm not talking about the areas that were corrupted by Thorne, those are weird because of the corruption. I'm talking about the uncorrupted sectors. Like that lens-thingy. Basic idea for those who haven't played: There's a series of four lenses. You need to align those lenses, but the automatic alignment-thingy is broken, so you have to do it manually. So, you go down underneath the big lens-thingies, and hit a series of switches that move the lenses around. The only problem is, the switches are in alcoves on either side of a long corridor. The only problem with that is, the floor is non-existant. The only way to get to the switches is by jumping between a series of small platforms moving over this chasm. The platforms are about 5 feet square, and moving uni-directionally between various like others (for those of you who are gamers, its a standard platform jumping puzzle). My only problem with this is, people have to work there! Whenever this automatic system fails, somebody has to go down and risk life and limb to reset these lenses, all some schmuck can make a fucking phone call (or something, I can't remember what the lenses actually do)! And people wonder why Windows never works right. Current Mood: hungry | | Monday, February 26th, 2007 | | 11:57 pm |
I'm a terrible person.
Peter: So it sounds like you've got some competition at next year's games. Joe: No, he's dead. [end] Me: BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm a horrible person. Current Mood: tired | | Friday, February 16th, 2007 | | 1:12 am |
Gods curse it!
Minor spoilers, but I won't say for what. D: No matter what I try to do, you're gonna die, Charlie. [END] Me: Noooooooooo!!!!!!!! Current Mood: tired | | Saturday, January 27th, 2007 | | 11:18 am |
Epic!
So, okay, I went to see Epic Movie last night. The movie was good, but I was disappointed with one thing. This has truly become a problem of late, and no one seems to worry about it but me. After seeing so many commercials for the movie (since they came on about every five minutes), it ended up that I'd already seen about half the jokes, and therefore half the good parts of the movie. That's not to say it wasn't good, but even so.... Anyway, the other fun thing about the trip was the small group of teenage girls sitting next to me. If anyone has ever wondered if our society is degrading, they need only look as far as a high school girl's locker room. Now, I'm not going to give much away, just one minor point (this is a marginal spoiler, so don't read it if you don't want to) there are stormtroopers in this movie. Very briefly, maybe 10 seconds, but they're there. Now, they come on screen and what do I hear out of the tiny brain sitting next to me? "Oh look, Jedi!" I don't know if I'm just so old that I remember that well enough, or I'm enough of a nerd to know, not just that they're stormtroopers, but the name of the weapon they're carrying (E-11 blaster rifle, if anybody's wondering), or, my preferred explanation, they're just stupid. Anyway, the movie was good (if packed, and my neck still fuckin' hurts from sitting six feet in front of the screen). Current Mood: meh | | Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 | | 2:19 pm |
Am I sick?
So, I'm playing Final Fantasy VII again (for the nth+1 time), and I just got to the part where Aeris (whom I've named Ho Bag) dies. Now, as you may have guessed from the name, I don't like her. Aside from being all-but utterly worthless in combat, she's a whiny little bitch who needs a good smack upside the head. Now, there's a cinematic that shows Cloud (whom I've named Sephiroth, just 'cuz that's damn funny: Sephiroth: What about my feelings? Sephiroth: Are you saying you have feelings now? Classic! But I digress), dumping Ho Bag...I mean, Aeris' lifeless corpse in a pond. As the music swells and her body drifts into the depths, you know what I've always wanted? Piranhas. Or a shark or something. To come and munch on her. That would make me even happier than watching Sephiroth penetrate her with his mighty sword. I could watch that over and over again. Aeris: /pray Sephiroth: /dramatic flying stab of DOOM! Me: /cheer I'm such a dork. Oh, there are spoilers in this entry. For those of you who've never played FF7. And didn't know Ho Ba...Aeris dies. And have apparently been living under a rock (or staying away from video gamers) for the past nine years. Current Mood: happy | | Thursday, October 26th, 2006 | | 12:33 pm |
Walt Disney wants me dead
So, I had a dream last night. That's not rare. What is rare is that I actually remembered it. It begins with me and my parents at Walt Disney World, haven of sappy children and temple of blatant commercialism. We're going into some ride, whose name escapes me at the moment. We enter and all I really remember is narrow red stairs...lots of them. Then we come to a landing, and there's a door to the back room of a mom and pop DIsney store that is owned by Walt himself. It is at this point that I discover that he has put out a hit on me with a sniper who looks a lot like someone from an old Japanese TV show. This sniper begins taking pot shots at me through the windows of the store. I beg Disney to call him off, and then wake up. Alright all you dream analyzers, as the movie says, analyze that!

And the award goes to....
So, I'm watchin' this movie, right, and all I have to say is: The award for worst evil guy line in a movie goes to: Darkman! So, here's the scene: Darkman (the good guy) is disguised as one of captain evil dude's henchmen, they're standing on girders in evil dude's building, which is still under construction. And, having un-masked Darkman, evil dude throws his arms wide and, with the worst attempt at an evil look I've ever seen, says: "Its all mine, you know why? Because I built it!"

Been a little while
So, its been a while. I'm too tired to go through a whole "What's new with me?" bullshit line, so I'm just going to drop in a thing I wrote because I was bored during band camp. When winter's calm dream has shrouded this land, With spring's bright daylight yet to come, Fall's colours dead and gone, May you find the strength to do what you must, And let not the hopes of summer die. There, have fun, I'm going to bed. Current Mood: tired and in pain | | Thursday, June 22nd, 2006 | | 3:17 pm |
May the first amendment rest in pieces
So, my father (whom I already know is a complete and utter moron), just told me about an article in the Wall Street Journal about an employer who refused to hire someone because of a blog entry (or something similar) they made. My father's advice: "Many companies have fairly conservative attitudes. Better to be on the safe side!" Well, I say fuck that. There's already enough legislation in the government trying to regulate what people can and can't say, even on the internet. If a company decides to not hire me because of my views (which, if it isn't illegal, should be (at least until they repeal the first amendment)), then I'm not going to work for that company. This bullshit is ridiculous (I, of course, have no knowledge of the particulars of this case, as I don't have access to the Wall Street Journal because, as a whole, its a load of conservative bullshit), but, given the media's penchant (and the WSJ's specifically) for over-stating certain stories and ignoring others, this is most likely very different than what it seems. Altho, I do know that school districts have been looking at people's online personae to weed out "un-desirables", but that's a little different (not much, but it is a difference). So, not only is the constitution under attack by the very people sworn to defend it, its also under attack by the people who own them, those with enough money to make policy. And thus does free speech crumble, along with our society. Current Mood: hungry | | Thursday, June 8th, 2006 | | 11:26 am |
Dreams
Some of my friends were talking a week or two ago about dreams. Well, I just had a doozy, which is odd, since I usually don't remember mine. I only remember the end: I'm dueling some guy (I don't remember who). We're dueling with these wooden daggers that are basically toys, although the tip is pretty damn sharp (I have one of these). We're doing it at my aunt's house (although her side yard has a less open area). We start off by tossing the daggers at each other, and of course miss. We retrieve the daggers and close to stabbing range (hehe, stabbity). We're struggling with the knives, and I glance up at the sound of some old guy's voice (I think there was a sub-text to this duel involving this guy, but I'm not sure) laughin and saying "This pleases me!". By the way, the dude I'm dueling is really old (I don't think I knew that until this point). I look around, still grappling for the dagger, and see my family sitting on a sofa, or looking at something on a table, watching and ignoring me, respectively, as I struggle for my very life (and start waxing dramatic, apparently). Eventually, I gain control of the weapon, and shove it into my foe's chest. Of course, being wooden, the dagger doesn't do shit. My opponent (who has suddenly become my mother) grabs the dagger, and begins forcing it into her chest, and manages to penetrate it. I pull the dagger out and look at the blood on my hands and start repeating "Mom, are you okay? Mom, are you okay?" over and over again. Which is kind of dumb, considering she just got stabbed in the chest (no, she's not fucking okay, get an ambulance, dip-shit). Captain old guy is still there laughing, and the rest of my family is just kind of chilling. And then I woke up. Alright all you amateur dream analyzers, as the movie says, analyze that.
