I used to play Shadowrun back in highschool, quite a bit actually. Fun game; it was the first real successful RPG that mixed high tech and magic into one interesting alternate-earth type setting. Good stuff. We geeked out with second edition, mostly.

Advertising firms should hire at least one pervert per ad team. I'm convinced of it.

Why am I convinced of it? Because of True North Snacks. I'll give them a free plug, since their commercials have been making me giggle like a nervous schoolgirl for weeks now. No, no, guys, this one's on me. No monetary compensation needed: the lulz are enough.

Well, I'm going through the arduous process of rebuilding my database still, with specific attention on the Blog entries.A funny thing I noticed: I whine a lot about trying to get this website to work, without actually producing much content. I suppose that's the story of my life...

Well, the database seems mostly stable and sorted now. I'm still in the slow, mind numbing process of rebuilding my galleries. And then I need to go and rebuild all the categorization for my several hundred blog entries. Oh yeah, and smilies. Those still aren't done. Huzzah.

Well, after completely decimating my first updated database and not backing things up like the genius that I am, I think things are now stable and rebuilt....mostly. Time will tell, I suppose...

It's not all that often that a relatively small upgrade is worth the cash... but in the case of Photoshop CS3, I'll make an exception. The new interface and the general feel of the thing are soooo much smoother and more intuitive than in CS2. It's pretty awesome.

So to test it out, I sketched out some random pseudo-anime broad with red hair. Yeehaw.

Well, I've let this site lie fallow for a while now, because I have very little desire to grind through my database and tweak several thousand tables so that they're compliant with the new drupal. That's HOURS of work I have to look forward to.

Currently missing are half of my links and all of my galleries and every forum entry, and probably other stuff I just haven't come across yet.

And yes, I am working on a new theme and some other stuff. Sort of. I don't actually have much time to do anything, and I'm doing some freelance web design that will actually help pay bills, so the non-paying vanity stuff has to wait.

Been a while since I posted, and although it may appear like I've been pretty inactive, I've been doing a lot of shit. So this is what I've learned:

• Sleep is for the weak.
• Trying to live out the first point will make you start to hallucinate.
• Paintball is awesome fun.
• Paintball is not awesome fun if you're not wearing a cup.
