a day hiatus?

how come?

did you go away somewhere? a special occasion?

I was ambushed by rampant muses and forced to do their bidding; I now have several more handwritten pages done, so that's kind of cool at least.

I really hate the card-based system of battle in Chain of Memories; it keeps getting me killed. I spent a whole day on that game, and I still haven't made it past Halloween Town yet.

Chapter 3, page 13.

Well, the hand-written part of my story moves apace, I just wish I knew how to break the ennui I seem to have fallen into with regards to transcribing the thing. Still, I suppose I'll muddle through. I always do.

wow, there is a word i never saw before.

ennui...

I'm pretty good with vocabulary too!

I'll remember that one.

you'll have to get yourself some handwriting recognition program or something.

Yeah, it's a useful word for when you can't seem to get anything done. I just wish I didn't have such close, personal knowledge of it.

Here's the next page of my comic:

Chapter 3, page 14.

oh dear this is not good!

oh dear this is not good!

I know. He's kind of stupid sometimes, that kid.

do you wish you could slap him upside the head?

by the way, what are the numbers for?

do you wish you could slap him upside the head?

by the way, what are the numbers for?

Sometimes. Like, when I finished writing out that scene and then went back to read it, I wanted to yank him up by his collar and shake him while yelling "what were you thinking, you little idiot?!"

I'm fairly sure the numbers were to represent the counting that Kenji was going between the strike of the lightning and the crash of the thunder.

That's a very... interesting avatar you have there, Ryuki.

thanx, it is how i feel just now.

a bit mystified and freaking out and frustrated.

it's been a bit hectic.

Ah, that makes sense, then. I hope things start to work out for you soon, though.

Chapter 3, page 15:

oh cool pic of dottore barcas

Yeah, I think it looks good, too. Heck, I like the Chronos Trooper she drew.

PayPal seems to have gone completely insane for the moment, erasing every bit of data I input every time I try to make a payment. I don't know what the hell is up with them, but I've sent them a polite query and been completely ignored for it for the last week. Now, I'm going to send something more forceful.

Well see if that gets any response.

wow, that's the last place you want to be getting errors!

Technically, I think my bank is the last place I want to be seeing errors, Ryuki.

Still, PayPal ranks just below that. This situation is pretty crazy.

I've at least gotten a reply. It does bupkis for my current situation or grievences, but at least I have one. It annoys me that I have to consider that a victory, though.

wow, that is pretty bad.

this is concerning real money as well so it should be highpriority for them to contact you.

do you have a phone number you can hammer?

Their tech support number is listed on the site, but I don't really feall like wasting time on hold - and I've heard the hold-times on tech support cals can be fairly insane - when I can just keep looking back at my topic.

Still, I hope someone lights a fire under their collective asses soon. This is getting ludicrous.

Mom and I just had a fun time watching the two Terminator movies; I'd forgotten how much fun - for a certain value of fun, anyway - they were to watch with someone else. I can always watch the commentary by myself, but it's never quite the same as having someone with me.

Well, the good news is, I finally managed to pay my commissioned artist. The weird news is, I can only make PayPal work with Firefox. I have no idea why or how any of this has happened, but those are the facts of the matter.

With that in mind, I now return you to your regularly schedualed fancomic:

Chapter 3, page 16.
