I haven't signed into MSN for a few days now, so I'm not sure how it's working here. I still haven't gotten a messenger client for my iMac yet. I've just been using BeeJive on my iPhone. (Can anyone recommend a good multi-program chat client for the Mac?)

Hope yours gets squared away for ya soon!

not sure if they run on Mac, but Pidgin and Trillian both are excellent.
If you ever have a problem or question, feel free to PM me.
I have superpowers. I tend to abuse them. :]

Looks like they BOTH will work for the Mac, but I think I'm going to try Pidgin, because:

1. The Mac download for Trillian says it's "in development."

and

2. It has a cool purple pigeon for a mascot :hope:

...what?...Shouldn't that be reason enough? :P

Many thanks Starlogic!

The only interesting story I have from today is that I got a haircut. I waited entirely too long, as usual. It was beginning to get rather annoying.

Here's the BEFORE image, in all its uncombed, straight from out of bed glory: http://img101.yfrog.com/i/4gbl.jpg/

And here's the AFTER picture (much better, eh?): http://img59.yfrog.com/i/9dx.jpg/

I kinda like that 'just out of bed' look personally :D but I know how annoying it is to have it. :lol:
(my hair is hardly even an inch long at the moment... gonna let it grow back a little now :P)


On a side note, purple pigeons do sound cool.

I went to the British Museum yesterday, if you ever go to London I recommend you look round the place. The amount of stuff they have there is mindblowing. Read my journal here: http://creamcrazy.livejournal.com/17405.html to see what I thought & the picture I took ^_^

I'm off to see RAW live at the O2 Arena tomorrow. Seeing as David Hasselhoff is guest hosting & I can't bring a "The Hoff Is Gay" sign with me, I'm gonna a try & psyche him out when he's in the ring by getting everyone to chant "WE WANT WRESTLING" as loud as they can.

Speaking of Wrestling, I was looking on Youtube for some awesome WWE vids, when I cam across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3JRKl-Mwbw

SO DAMN FUNNY :happyhope:

Well, If you follow me on twitter you know, but I had a school dance last night. it was a lot of fun!
theres really that much to say, but I WAS responsible for making many people dance. to the point of running over to a group of people and dancing next to them till they started dancing.

Its really fun dance crazy and not care what people think!
Fun Times! hope would be proud of my Goofball dancing skillz. :hope:

Haha, I did see those tweets. Sounds like you have a good time ^_^

Bravo on the attitude too! Back then, I would not have had the courage to do that unless surrounded by a group of my friends. The shyness would have taken over me.

Not so much now though :happyhope:

Remember the really bad flooding I was saying we were having here a couple weeks ago? Well, I wrote a blog post about it, complete with a pretty interesting video:

Alone in a Crowd now accepting guest strips!

I have some non-comic things I really need to get done for “Alone in a Crowd,” and lately it’s been increasingly hard to get the proper amount of time to get them done. So if anybody out there is interested in submitting a guest strip for AIAC, I am not currently accepting them.
I'm guessing based on context that the the not is supposed to match the now, but you might want to hit that for clarity! :)


That video does look a lot like Iowa in '08! Though Iowa's extremely flat, so the floodwater really spreads out.... something like 400 city blocks in Cedar Rapids alone were closed. (Even the spiders in my bathroom know better than to build on the floodplain!)

There's a nice arched pedestrian bridge across the river at the U of I that I used to use all the time, even during the '93 floods; I saw a picture of the spot in '08 and the entire bridge, including the railings, was completely submerged.

Here's a few of the dozens of galleries Google pulled up:

Random fact:
Everyone in my grade is heartless.
Okay, not everyone. But still, today we were watching a video about North Korea, and half of the kids were laughing their heads off. Grah. Anger :grumpfaith:

@TracGunny: Oh man! If I saw that in the woods behind my house, I think I'd freak the @#$% out :blink:

@Alphatroll: That's just crazy. Nature is an amazing thing, isn't it? Something beautiful beyond words, other times the most destructive force there is.

@Amberbydreams: What was the video documenting exactly?

I had an interesting "Hope-pening" today. Though for a change of pace, I present it in on site audio form:
