Matrix Mage's Journal

Y'know. During summer I often wanted to know what life would be like if I cut down on internet usage.

Well I know now. And I am waiting anxiously for Winter Break so I can start doing some art. That is, if inspiration isn't a jack ass.

I'd start typing about it, but I have no idea where to begin.

(Takes a few large gulps of tea)

Okay, now I know.

A while back, as some of you people may know for IMs, my mom tore her miniscus (a tendon or a piece of cartilage, or something between the knee and tibia), and now she's mostly crippled for a while. My sister came to stay and help take care of her, but there are a few problems that accompany that.

First of all, my sister had to bring her dog, Max. Max is Kazu's brother, and it wouldn't be a problem... That is, if Max was Kazu's size.

Max is twice Kazu's size. And the dog's crazy. I found him under my bed while I was playing Chrono Trigger.

Another problem would be that my sister takes care of my 2-year-old nephew, Enzo. And from prior and obvious experience, I (and most of you) should know this.

I hate children under 5 years.

The kid lost my The World Ends With You game, my stylus, and almost all of my DS games while I took a early morning to late-afternoon nap. Not to mention that he hogs the TV, even while he doesn't actually watch it.

And he always wants to play a game. So I either have to:

A) Play a game on my Wii as he plays with a gamecube controller purposely plugged into the 2nd controller port, making him think he's playing and winning.

B) Let him play Mario Kart, and watch him to make sure he doesn't drop the game as he fails.

On a side note, I learned from him that if you play a game on Wii with a gamecube controller plugged in the first port, the two controllers override each other. It's kinda fun if you're bored with a friend.

My sleep cycle has been getting worse. Right now I should be asleep, but my Nephew woke me up shouting something about bowing or biscuits.

I tried sleep drugs, I woke up at the same time I do without them. And I tried earlier. And I couldn't.

--

Now for some drawing stuff...

I notice I always draw from the same point of view. Personally, I think I need to change it. I kinda did one of a character I drew, but he was still facing left. I need to try drawing someone facing right

While I was drawing my most recently posted drawing, I started shouting at myself and ~Silver-Blur over Skype because I was drawing on the wrong layer and the image wouldn't save right. Not sure why I would bring that up. I guess I'm getting too sleepy.

My outline pen's breaking. Freaking roller-ball pen.

I think that's about it. The first one's been eating my computer-time the most. Anyways, some a small bit of random news.

Aidan (A friend of mine), and I realized that the scratch and sniff cards that came with the Earthbound Strategy Guide in 1995 still work after 14 years.

I just found that fascinating.

Meh. Too lazy to think of somethin'.

Recently I've been following the story of a autistic man-child named Chris-chan. Wanna know about him? Google for the CWCki. I'd link it myself, bit it's mostly offensive and NSFW. It put it simply, he drank some unmentionable substances from his being and made a horrible joke about 9/11. The guy's far, far beyond pity.

Matrix Mage's Journal

Well, I guess I should update something.

I got most of a story down in my head. Now I need to stop procrastinating.

My replacement chair began to break. If you ever need to get a folding chair, do not get a plastic one with a sticker that says "Durable" on it. The sticker is lying to you.

I'm having problems drawing... well... let's say that it's certain parts of the female body. The ones that feed babies and attracts perverted attention.

Boo: He can't draw boobs well.

SHUT IT, BOO!

Some people already know this, but my dog, Kazu, ruined my DS Charging cable about a month ago. Because of this, I can't use my DS. And there's a Shaymin Wifi event for Pokemon Platinum! (Atleast I can get a Darkrai from Pokemon Ranger.)

My mom's leg apparently has a stress-based fracture. she can barely move her knee, and she has a doctor's appointment scheduled. I'm worried, because the last time she scheduled one, the people at the front desk kept telling her the wrong time.

I found out that while I'm sleep deprived, I find out things that were long forgotten. Like my nexon ID.

Oh yeah. And school. Yeah, it's slowing me down and stealing my Thursday/Friday night sleep. Last week, I don't think I slept for over 30 hours. and this week I neglected my assignments so now I'm cramming as much as I can. I pray I won't snap.

And recently my family's been falling through all kinds of crap. At least my brother's doing well. He now has an apartment with his friends and a San Diego Comicon fund in his kitchen.

By now I thought I'd see him in the corner of his room crying, cutting himself, drinking, smoking, and reading comics all at once. Somehow breaking the world as a result.

Meh. Too lazy to think of somethin'.

Oh yeah. And I have not been sleeping at night. I see that as a major problem. Especially to downloading my podcasts.

Matrix Mage's Journal

... Welp. I guess I update this thing like it's a neglected webcomic.

Anyways... What's new...

Thinking of doing another SDL duel.

Thinking of doing a fan-comic of the original Final Fantasy.

Got a puppy.

I've been finding stranger and stranger stuff on the internet

I'm drinking actual coffee again.

I'm procrastinating.

I need another sketchbook.

And I think that's it...

Oh, and I accidentally broke my headphones and there isn't any glue in the house. I'd use the warranty, but I don't have a box just small enough for it, any stamps, and I always blow my money on manga and drinks.

Aside from that, yeah. Still a nerd...

Feel free to leave now.

I've been attempting to get S4 League to work again on my PC. After updating my drivers, it should work now.

Matrix Mage's Journal

Random person: You left?

(Incinerates the person) WHY WERE YOU IN MY HOUSE?! Anyways, yeah, I'm back on Mabinogi. I left before because I thought I had to buy a character card for a rebirth. But either they changed that, or I didn't try just checking one box, but turns out it was free. Granted, I didn't have to do that because my friends ~TrueZerx and =Silver-Blur were on a completely different server! So I made a new account (free character card for me) and made a character on their server (I think it was called Alexia or something close to that.)

Oh wait. What about Cyro on my old server?

PING!

I JUST KILLED CYRO WITH MY MIND.

There is now just Mattlunatic on the Alexia (I think) Server! Yes that's my character name. I needed something that can be recognized by name. Dark brown hair and yellow eyes needs a deluxe character card. And I'm already too poor to afford nexon cards!

I spend all my money on manga and Shonen Jumps!

By the way, anyone else noticed the lack of female characters and the abundance on girlish-looking characters on Ultimo? I think the artist forgot that this is supposed to be a Shonen manga and to even out the gender scale. Either that, or I picked up a Shoujo Beat by mistake.

(Looks) Nope, it's Jump.

Feel free to leave now.

My character's becoming a real sharpshooter.

Matrix Mage's Journal

EDIT: IT HAS BEEN FIXED! My brother went and replaced the video card. And now the computer's usable...

Though I am now scared to play Exteel.

or just Megaten on window mode.

My computer broke. I am typing this from my brother-in-law's computer. And it appears that a glowing keyboard makes me notice typos more.

Anyways, yeah. No MSN or art for a while.

... I'll be lucky if I survive a whole week without the computer.

Anyways, yeah, I think the processor was damaged, since it crashed a few times. Particularly on Exteel.

EDIT: Never mind, I learned that my computer's video card's busted. I thought the processor was broken. But the computer works... to an extent.

I'm glad that I saved the comic onto a CD... Wait. But not the most recent panels... Oh well.

And I don't even have anything I think I would miss on there. All the PC games I got are either beaten, or online. So aside from art and a boot-leg of Studio 8 I got from my Website Design teacher, I got nothing to lose if it has to be dumped.

But yeah, I will return IF my computer is restored to it's former Windows XP glor-- I just saw a smiley in "XP"

I've been on the internet too long.

Feel free to leave now.
