So some may wonder what it has been that's been eating away at my time so much that I can't update G'n Dach! or get that Death on Ice comic where it belongs...or make a new one for that matter.

Certainly school has played a part in this. Homework eating away at my very soul until only an empty shell of a person remains. But that is only part of the reason.

First there was Animal Crossing.

Then there was Zelda.

Now there is... Maple Story the ultimate MMORPG!!!

There is my character, BanditTodd. His hobbies are "Benchin' it." and dressing at the height of fashion. After all if you do not know that pink is in vouge this season, "You're just way last Jimmy."

I love his outfit. So cute, even though it cost NXCash it was worth it I think. Although I must admit he doesn't gain too much experience benchin' it.

In case you're wondering I am not dead. I'm just a student. Same thing I suppose. Went to the dentist yesterday and received my regular bill of good dental health. Still no cavities. I'm hoping to live my life without ever getting one. I'm off. Yes, yes, I'll do something better soon. Promise.

Now that the election is over I need to find a new topic to write about. Any suggestion? Heh. Seriously though do you have any? I've got to get the next Death on Ice out, but first I'm going to have to reinstall my FTP client.

 

Gotta go - school...

Yes today is election day and I voted. Not for the party that you would imagine either - no I did not vote conservative. If I'd vote for Harper I might  as well shove toothpicks up my nose and try to reach my brain. Of course with the conservatives winning I suppose my vote...   DID   NOT    COUNT. See everyone wants to act like it does, but when push comes to shove it doesn't. That's why next election vote Sellie the lone Canadian Dictator. You can call me Dick but don't  call me... well I suppose everyone knows that one.

Wondering why Death on Ice has been posted below totally screwing up the blog's formating? Well there is a reason for that. My computer had some issues and I lost all of my internet connection settings and haven't actually bothered to find them again. There are some other issues as well with the still to come reinstallation of software, but you know I had to vote...and prep to vote. Now I have to write a paper about it. In "business" format. That mean's I cannot contrast the Canadian governmental system with the idyllic monarchial rule of King Randor. Makes me a sad panda it does. Believe me I had ideas for the project. I was going to have pinash! Now it's been reduced to another dull academic paper. Perhaps I should have gone into an English major instead of Business. That would have been frightening considering my weak spelling and grammar skills.

You know I've noticed over the past year I've lost all of the spice and life I had before starting school. I mean, I'm fricken sour! All I can do is complain. Okay I've always enjoyed complaining. Except at this point I don't enjoy it, it just seems to be an automatic response. It's getting on my nerves. If only we could encorporate enjoyable aspects to classwork. Like look at industries and trends and delve deeply into them. Like say the computer or gaming console industry, or toys. Compare the markets of today with those of the 70's and 80's. This would of course be an individual assignment which could be written with pinash. No, where pinash would be expected! Still some of you might be noting that I'm still complaining - but that was happy complaining...ish.

On a happy note I watched some He-man toaday and enjoyed it. Since my viewing partner has been occupied on the computer for some time I've had to wait. Perhaps that is what made me decide to write something in my blog.  <- I'm feeling emoticony!

Here is the update for Death on Ice. I haven't been able to connect to my provider so I decided to upload the page on Bravenet so you can actually see it. Enjoy.

So yeah, I promised Death on Ice on January 15th. As you can see if you look on the website it is not there. I will attempt to get it posted tonight. I'm busy and I am tired. It's snowing like a bugger and my pants are wet so are my socks. I hate winter and am cranky.

Back at school. My school email address is not working - rather I'm not able to log in to my email. It is a sad day. I am waiting to find out what is wrong, hopefully not a long wait - but it will probably be.

Bought the He-man She-ra Christmas Special. Finally. Finally I have that glorious special. You don't know how hard I have worked to get that special and now I own it... on DVD! The case is ultra aws!! I haven't actually been able to watch it as of yet - but I will.

Oh on the election front Jack Layton is rising in my eyes once again. He called an impromtu press conference where he did not allow cameras and the like and there he was talking about his worries of the Conservatives. Go Jackie!!

Feeling somewhat depressed at the moment. I ordered a wireless router to connect my Nintendo DS over a week ago. The store sent me the wrong model number. I am officially irritated. ... but what else is new?

Let's just leave it at that for now. More to follow in the evening. Big Brother is watching me.

Watched the first English debate today - never saw the French one.

Two moments stood out in my mind from the debate. The first coming from Jack Layton when he said that the best way to improve the house's question period would be to have more women in the house. Apparently that would change the whole tone of question period. I couldn't stop laughing - there were actually tears in my eyes from that one.

The second memorable moment was when Paul Martin turned to the Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe and told him that "Let me say also that I am a Quebecer. And you are not going to take my country away from me, with some trick, with some ambiguous question". It was great, the look of anger on the Prime Minister's face was brilliant. This time I cheered.

Honestly, I think this year I'm actually going to take time out of my busy schedule and vote. This year it has been really busy with school and all. I just finished my last final exam for this term today. Yippie.

Who am I going to vote for? That's a good question. Well the Bloc and the Conservatives are out of the question. Jack Layton is the coolest looking, but Paul Martin was the only one who seemed very passionate throughout the debate...

It'll no doubt be a pick your poison kind of election anyway - still I think Mr. Martin was wrongfully ousted from his position. It's not like Brian Mulroney didn't have his own scandal. Has everyone forgotten the whole Airbus incident? Probably. I seem to be the only one with an elephant memory when it comes to things like that. Now if only I could apply that skill to math.

 

So I have decided to use this space to document my thoughts on the NDP…or more precisely Jack Layton. I will note now that I have no association with the New Democratic Party and don’t always agree with their ideas, but I happen to think their leader is the coolest runner in the election so he’s going to be my focus.

For all of you who didn’t know Jack Layton has written two books that you should read. No, I haven’t had the pleasure to read them yet. I’d like to though. I wonder if the local library has them. If it does I’ve got some winter reading I suppose.

Since I haven’t really been posting much on my website for the last four months…sorry… I will give you a little treat.

Jack the Giant Killer – NDP style. Heh.
