The Lurking Artist Posts again!!

So it's been a long long time since I bothered to update this blog. I think I've neglected this long enough. So what the fuck has the mighty Locke been up to? In all reality, not a whole lot. I'm now officially engaged as of September. I'm trying to get myself into Purdue Cal now that I've discovered that they have CGT. I've been trying to get myself back into D&D (this has been a battle because of my inherent laziness). I have a new laptop, which I'm using right this moment to type this. I've been drawing quite a bit lately, though most of it isn't worth posting. Taking a philosophy class (which I'm waiting to start at the moment). Been watching a lot of anime as usual, which I'll likely make a post about sooner or later about one of them.

So yeah. Not a whole lot.

Of Sunburns and Plans for ACEN 08

Okay, my face right now is feeling like it's on fire. Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking hate sunburns? Let me paint a picture of myself for you now: I am a really pale geek. I avoid going outside during daylight hours for any extended period of time if I can help it.

I push carts for a job. This means I'm outside for 7-8 hours a day.

It's days like this that I hate my job. But enough bitching.

Anywhos, I am going to Anime Central this year, much like I do every year. As things are going, I will be there for Saturday and Sunday.

In other news, my dad picked up Assassin's Creed for PC recently, so I've been playing that and enjoying it. Like the last time I played it (back when it came out for 360/PS3), I've had the urged to play an assassin character in D&D again. I'll likely get over that sometime after I finish the game...

And for the record, I really really hate sunburns...

On a random side note, I have just discovered that I have had this blog for about a year now. Go me.

Of Boozed Filled Nights

Dear Internet,

I have experienced something I never wanted to deal with tonight - helping a drunk person while they're sick. As someone who doesn't drink, I do not fear the after effects of booze, such as the vomiting or the horrible depressing crash that happens later. However, watching your girlfriend go through that stuff is not fun. On the other side, it does bring out some of the funnier parts of people...

I think I will leave it at that. I'm going to head to bed now, for I do no feel too good and I am tired. Good night Internet.

Holy Crap, it's a POST!

Sigh... Why do I lose track of time and forget my blog so often? I mean, I enjoy writing about random crap all the time, so why do I forget to update my blog so easily? Is it really that difficult to come to blogger and log in and start typing?

Okay, random ranting of that sort done.

I have returned to City of Heroes, only to find out that there's a bug that's keeping me from logging into my characters unless I'm in safe mode (and I assure you, I refuse to play in safe mode). Thankfully, the newest patch on test has fixed the problem, but I have to wait for them to take it to live.

In other news, I have begun a new campaign, since my last one died when I lost interest. This new one is heavily inspired by the awesomeness that is Castlevania. One big castle, one nasty vampire lord, and a horde of monsters to slay on the way there. It was amazing - I had generated enough interest that I was pumped to run the game. And I've barely had to do anything to get my party together. If that's not an accomplishment, I don't know what is.

I've been keeping up with a number of Anime these days, although only two seem to keep my attention enough to continue downloading the subs. Shakugan no Shana season 2 and Clannad. Shana has finally kicked into high gear after wasting a good 10 episodes of minimal character development. Clannad has only annoyed me a little bit: Fuko's arc was too long for my liking and while I understand they're following the 'main' story, I wish they had chosen a different one, like Tomoyo's story. Kyou's would've been fine too.

Well, I think that's a decent update. Better than some of my older ones.

Random Rantings

It seems that a lot of things have been working against me in the past month or so. I get tickets I don't deserve, my car's transmission starts acting up, my boss maybe wants to fire me but don't have a good excuse to do it (this is me being paranoid, I'm sure), and now my brother hides his games from me 'specially when I kindly ask to play said games when he isn't. Thankfully, the tickets weren't too much (the one I was guilty of was the more expensive of the two >.<), my car still runs but I can't drive very fast (like above 70), my boss doesn't have a decent excuse to fire me so I still have a job (or he was just in a bad mood that day), and my brother is just a prick who has issues with me for some reason (except when I buy him booze). In other news, I've been drawing again. Nothing too big lately, but I did draw my newest D&D character, Shana (who was named after my favorite loli - Shakugan no Shana). Here's the sketch itself:





Well, I think that's it for today. Maybe I'll have more to talk about on another day.
