Mr. Immortal

I need a logo for him. At the moment it's
just an "I" for Immortal...

The least bothered super hero in history. He is, after all, immortal! And I'm only drawing him in 4-panel comics so far. Okay! So he basically just doesn't care about much because he lives in the endless expanse of time. I don't yet know how he got this super power but he's quite a depressing fellow because of his little "Super-power" problem.

I have realised that people generally have a focus on a particular theme and set of characters for these comics. It gives the reader a sense of familiarity which eases the humor by giving you insight on the character's personality. So I have Mr. Immortal! I am almost done with my first comic strip, which I hope to release here on Monday. Look forward to it! I have no idea how it will turn out. I'm pretty sure I have a lot of room for improvement though :D

And when I release it then everyone has to give me their honest first impressions! And no dilly-dallying, that feedback is important for the next comics ;) Today is a good day. A Friday, if you will. I love weekends!

Nah, I wasn't really going anywhere with that. Not being random or anything, it just happened... Okay, so I don't know what to write about now. Work's kind of slow lately with the odd rush here or there but I haven't had one of those days for a while. It really looks like everyone's gone off on holiday lately, I can't wait for my leave in January! I'm going to Wilderness on the 3rd or 4th and staying 'til the 11th, it's gonna be amazing! I'm getting more and more excited as your wedding draws closer my sister. Might also have something to do with Christmas, New Year, my birthday and taking a week off work. Among other things... This is gonna be a rockin' holiday :)

I'm wishing for a white Christmas!

Just like the ones I've heard about...

It would be nice if it snowed for Christmas this year. That would probably also be some sort of natural disaster since I'm sitting in 30 degrees of hot and sweaty right now... End-of-the-world omens and what-not. But nice!

Run little guy, run like the wind were carrying each individual snow flake that makes up your being!
And if there were a strong gust on which to ride... Mmmm, Strawberry slushy...

Just another day at the office

Today I got an Email from one of the suppliers we deal with. They're having a small competition. Send them a selfie when you're biting into your lunch and the funniest picture wins a small prize - Memory sticks and the like. So I took the following picture. I truly tried to think of a witty or clever joke to play out, but alas! Nothing came to mind. So I ate the same way I always do:

Chinese, YUM!

Actually Carlos took it... So it's not really a selfie, more of a wildlife shot. And to be honest, he's also the one that suggested I stick my face into my food. Anyway, we'll see what the judges say :P

That nice AK-300 keyboard!

So! I've got good news, bad news, good and bad news, great news and the best news!

• Good news first! I found out how to swap the black keys for the yellow ones by using a ruler, Mr. Herrera told me about it. I popped them off with ease!
• Bad news! And this was rather unfortunate, the keyboard was cheap and shitty. It has ghosting keys, so WASD doesn't function in conjunction with the arrow keys - amongst other useful button combos. Right... Who'd want to run left and shoot at the same time? Noobs that can't dodge bullets by standing in one place, that's who. :/
• Good and bad news! So after much researching I discovered that's a hardware limitation, not a factory fault (on a keyboard that boasts a "Gaming Keyboard Styling" - but I suppose it didn't say "Gaming Keyboard Functionality"). Can't give back a functioning keyboard... Here's the good news! There was a factory fault in the keyboard! It pressed the Enter key for absolutely no reason which was quite irritating. Unbelievably so, to be honest!
• Great news! This meant that I could swap out my keyboard for a functioning one, and I upgraded (by adding a little cash) to get a far superior keyboard that has a blue back light and key customization! The Armaggeddon Kalashnikov AK-550i.
• Best news! I tested it out and it's awesome :D

Not my keyboard, but it is! Same model
but I stole the picture from the inter-webs again.

My apologies to all my loyal readers for not posting this weekend. I spent all my time off with my woman, it was magical! In addition, to add to my happiness - for the first time since I started working here (so nearly 4 months) I had a long weekend! 2 whole days, Saturday and Sunday! So nice XD I hardly did anything productive, half my laundry and... That's it!

Now Good Day, sir/madam.

I said GOOD DAY!
