I seldom express my opinions because nobody asks and therefore I assume nobody is interested. I'm saving everything for the day I'm interviewed by some Big Media Person where I get to divulge my inner most secrets and beliefs so that the Great Public can see how they inform what and why it is I do what I do. Which is not much. Yet. I don't get to say that and mean that until much later. Consider this seed sowing.
The reaping will come later. Before I die would do nicely. I hope.
So until then, my various worldviews and opinions will have to incubate and develop safely from prying eyes and nosy non-persons. For now.

Street Fighter.
Boredom takes over, so I started learning how to play Makoto in Third Strike. Good fucking lord. I don't know why.
I got pretty far, then Gouki showed up, and I got my ass handed to me on a platter.
Sigh.

A very embarrassing Smallville post. This shit will haunt me for years.
Today I watched the first episode of Smallville since the winter break, and holy shit it was awesome.
Clark's lines suddenly have alot of weight to them, they pulled of the Legion of superheroes on Fuckin' prime TIME television!
And it didn't feel corny.
Wow. Suddenly Clark's not that whiny ass bitch with superpowers from before. We see in him the actual beginnings of the hero he's destined to be.
Holy crap I'm geeking out.
For all this I blame Geoff Johns. The man is a fucking genius.

Yesterday
A blackout occured only in my house because the electricity runs on a prepaid system and we forgot to reload credit. It went out at about 130 am and all the shops are closed. (this is the UK after all)
Which is why there wasn't any blog post last night.
in other news.
why the FUCK does penang have a Street Fighter 4 cabinet and UK does not?
Singapore has several!
Bloody bastards. Don't they see how much money they can make?

I've been working on a story.
It's a comic, and my friend has agreed to draw it.
I decided to post the character profiles here for no reason. I'm really excited for this. I hope this works out.
Mina daisuki
Our main character. 17, young and feisty. Right in the middle of her "rebel" phase, Mina is in her final year of high school and her mother still wouldn't let her out of the house at night without nothing short of an army of bodyguards who are armed to the teeth. She acts rebellious but at heart she's a sweet girl who wouldn't even hurt a soul. Until our story that is. Coming from a family with very Eastern values, her parents kept her on a very tight leash as she was growing up, her father being the more compassionate of the two. Not to say she was abused and mistreated, just never given alot of freedom. Predictably enough, with peer pressure and all that, the basic human need to be free has manifested itself, and with 17 years of pent up emotions, it usually doesn't go very well with mom. Ever since losing her father when she was 10, "Random" Richard has been sort of a substitute father figure for her. She admires and looks up to him but they don't get many chances to hang out, since her mother is not very fond of Uncle Richard.( or is she? ) A social outcast in school, she tries desperately to fit in to various cliques and groups but everyone just sort of looks at her weird. She looks different, and speaks different. ( Think our accent in Britain and you've got the idea ) Since she has virtually no friends all she does is surf the net and play her music. Adept at the guitar and the piano, she's pretty talented and will frequently busk on the streets during holidays. Much to the dismay of her mother. A creative and artistic person at heart, she tries to dress the part as often as she can. Sporting weird hairdos and interesting colour choices for clothes and makeup. Pretty young thing, she encounters Seth, the enigma early on in our story, then tragedy happens as she apparently kills everyone at a party. Somehow Seth is tangled up in all this, if not responsible. Her main conflict would be to get to the bottom of what happened on that terrible night. This is, a story about growing up so she will get to terms with who she is and learns to work with situations that are against her. It's also about her finding her place in this weird, alien place we call society.
age:17
race:Asian/Chinese
168cm
59 kgs
breast size: adequate, but not big. lol.
likes: indie pop, arty stuff.
dislikes: formal clothing, the news.
notes:rather attractive under all that pretentious shit she wears.
"Random" Richard
Our P.I. or 'Searcher' as he calls himself. An orphan, since a child "Random" Richard Fenton has had to make do with what he has. Doesn't believe in God because after seeing all the shit he's seen, nobody would. His innate resourcefulness and eye for detail prove to be useful for the trade that he has chosen. Always looking cool, never flinching even in the face of Armageddon, he is the best at what he does and is never wrong. Or so he thinks. Truth is, he's kind of a clueless dolt, with a heart so big you can't help but like him. Competent, but often forgetful. Alice does all his work for him. Alice being his briefcase. You've got to be a character to name your briefcase. Highly protective of Mina, since he almost became her step-father. His relationship with Sarah; Mina's mother is mostly covered in dust, lost in the pages of history, but always remembered. It bites him like an invisible thorn in his side, and even after all these years, he still has a soft spot for her. Always one with a quip, he's as easy going as one can be. Alice follows him everywhere because despite how cool he pretends to be, he knows he can never get anything done without Alice.
age: 39
race: unknown; but probably half asian.
180cm
79kgs
likes: football, detective novels, classical music
dislikes: Soap operas, baseball.
notes: "Richard" for "Dick" as in "Dick tracy" and "Fenton" from "Fenton Hardy", father of the popular Hardy boys series of crime novels.
Sarah
Mina's mom. Overprotective, agoraphobic( scared of going out ). Still depressed over her husband's death, which contributes to her over protectiveness of Mina. Not wanting to lose another part of her family, she tries her best to keep her beloved daughter out of harm's way. Her methods may not be advisable, or good, but her intention is worth it's weight in Gold. Having Mina at a young age means she's still relatively young for a mother of a 17 year old daughter. Pretty, but years of pills and pointless, aggravating therapy have taken it's toll. Briefly emerged out of her self-imposed isolation when she hired Random for a job years ago, and subsequently developed an attraction for him. For reasons unknown to us, the relationship never worked out, and since then her agoraphobia has gotten only worse.
age: 41
race: asian/Chinese
165cm
60kgs
likes: Mina, the news.
dislikes: outdoors.
Seth
Our ice-cool antagonist, for the most. Mysterious, good-looking, almost androgynous is how we would describe Seth. His voice is almost ethereal, other-worldly. His intentions are currently unknown to us but he's a man(entity) with a purpose. A purpose that involves a lot of blood and laughter at the expense of others. Usually their lives. Extremely manipulative, he harbors no ill will towards anyone or anything, but her cares for none of it as well. Enigmatic, smooth and a walking talking wikipedia, he really can do or say no wrong. Blond and blue-eyed, this instrument of a will unknown to us is related to, or maybe even responsible for the club-massacre that happens in chapter 1. But what, pray tell may be his motives?

Truer words have never been said.
Since today could be the end of my partnership with my current art director, I felt only this would suffice.
The end to what has to be the greatest strip ever.
Yet it really isn't the end isn't it? It's a white canvass every day, waiting to be filled.
Let's go exploring.
Not to be confused with the award winning Guinness ad.
Noitu Love 2: Devolution is the sequel to the unknown freeware game made by he same person, Noitu Love.
If this video interests you, give the demo a go.
Or buy it. Anyone who loves 2D action will not be dissappointed.
It's only 10USD. or about 25RM. or 5GBP.
or download the demo.
It's been a while since I've plugged a game.
Enjoy my geekiness while it lasts.

Lovin' meerkats.
This is great.
Now I can finally compare meerkats like a meerkat aficionado is supposed to. No more sticking my head in holes like an ostrich. This will feed my meerkat fever oh it will.
But I still haven't found Timon.
daily wrongness: You all know that shit weren't true.
Daddy was just fuckin' wiv you.
Now mommy's gonna do the same.
With a strap on.

The title of this blog post is moot.
PO.
A sci-fi story of international intrigue staring an orthodox Jew whose main gripes(besides keeping his faith in his line of work) is how does he save the world by falling in love with the main villianess by pretending to fall in love with her but in actuality has already fallen heads over heels for the evil countess.
PO.
A cigarette so heavy that one puff will kill you.
PO.
Express unsatisfactory feelings towards customer service reps by dressing up as Jason and threatening to slice their faces off every time a patronizing answer is given.
PO.
A cleaver falls in love with a clove of garlic and tries his best from preventing the chef from smashing it to bits before chopping it up for contonese-style stir fried veggies with oyster sauce.
PO.
A ninja whose only ninjutsu abilitie he's mastered is to turn into a plank and giving away his location by stuttering really loudly to himself gets elected Governor of Florida.
PO.
Marcus Brigstocke comes on stage naked and says: "Fuck Corduroy, I'm done with you. We've had a good run together but I'm sure you'll have much better luck finding somewhere to cling on by looking for chewed gum and Boris Johnson's shoe.
PO.
Copywriter finds himself in a dilemma because suddenly all he can write is puns. He then proceeds to create The Most awarded pun-filled advertising ever.

So apparently according to this guy, creatives are the ones who will save an agency from going down.
Holy crap, more reason to work harder than ever.

Question.
Today, I was asked this question.
"What would you do if you were God?"
My reply was
"Prove I exist."
That is all.

Couldn't make this up even if I tried.
