Hey, guys! First thing right off the bat, holy shit! First place with art for Madness Day! Thanks, Krinkels! With so much great art put out by amazing artists this year, I never would have thought I stood a chance. It was a wonderful surprise. Check it out here, if you haven't already seen it: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/paxilon/red-means

Second order of business: Halloween! This year I'm gonna do my best to have a flash movie submitted in time to celebrate with you wonderful bastards, but I have a holiday coming (hopefully) at the end of the month and still a lot of comic pages to finish for Storyshift. So if I don`t finish for October, at least you`ll have something to tide you over in time for your strange late American Thanksgiving. Speaking of, its Canada`s Turkey Day today and oh MAN I`m gonna eat turkey till I explode is gonna be so great and there`ll be cranberry sauce and pie and-- right, right. Here`s a quick screencap of the Halloween movie:

Shut up, the background isnt finshed, shut up shut up aaah theres no TIIIME

And last bit of news, internet.

Oh, the internet.

I'm not really an adult about anything, so my roommate gave me the task of setting up the internet as practice.

I made a call to a recommended internet service provider on August 21st, a week or so after we moved into our apartment (which is rad, by the way, with it right beside the river so morning runs can turn into morning drowining sessions with wonderful convenience). Its been about two months, and I'm still conducting all my internet work via smartphone. 

Its been two months.

This is like rabbit starvation.

To the best of my knowlege, I've done nothing wrong (the spectre of me fucking up haunts me late at night with frighting persistance, but my roomie went over all of it with me and agrees, I'm totally blameless. Save for, you know, the murders and stuff). There's been many calls to and from the service provider, many appointments made to hook up the internet--all of which were no-shows with no follow up call or email--I have paid TWICE to get this shit rolling (they're keeping the first monies as credit, which means I wont have to pay until next year, which is sortof convienient, I guess) and they only just sent my second modem because the first "wasnt suitable for my building." The people I've talked to have been very kind and I'm always on my best innocent white girl behavior with phone operators, but jesus.

My roommate took me aside at work the other day. Looking deep into my eyes, she husked "I will call them on Tuesday and give them the most rounded-out bitchfest they have ever recieved. We will have internet in a week...and the first six months will be free."

So maybe that'll be the end of it. Bah. Anyways, I've been pretty quiet because Newgrounds and smartphones don't really see eye-to-eye. Doesn't stop me from abusing the hell out of Twitter--I wish it would, that Gamergate thing isn't helping anybody's image.

*sigh*

I wanna play Alien Isolation. I wanna Livestream. I wanna be able to check Newgrounds without dislocating both my thumbs.
