In the words of Double-D, “Summer rains…you can never predict them!”

Also, floppy soggy cowboy hats are fun to draw even if your girlfriend says it looks like hair in a bun.

Submitted to the beast again today. I am tentatively optimistic about it.

Team Fortress 2 is still amazing, although I would have preferred the update given us more than “fluff” content and a new map-type (cool though they may be). I’m a sucker for character development.

College students move back in this weekend around here; good luck in your new academic years you kings of New New England.

PS: Sorry if you have to zoom in to see this comic. I can’t get the width of the comic to agree with the width of the site, and the results are minimized comics.

The Comic
Facebook serves a useful purpose, but when I read a series of status updates from someone which followed the tale of a lost set of keys over five or six updates I realized that perhaps technological “marvels” like Twitter, Facebook, and AIM, had gone just a tad too far. Telling folks events of great importance is worthwhile communication. Telling them step-by-step about your Bacchanalian revelries as they happen is less worthwhile. If you find yourself doing this, you clearly have a job waiting for you in the broadcast journalism arena.

The Living
I’ve had (and still have) a lot of paperwork this weekend. At the time I’m preparing this post to go up, I’ve still got probably two days worth of paperwork ahead of me. Wish me luck.

The Gaming
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 is a lot of fun. It’s unlike almost any other game I’ve played and resembles a cross between Myth (not to be confused with Myst) and Warcraft 3. It’s plot looks like Starcraft’s, but there’s no resource gathering and no wave after wave of troops to send at your enemies (though they will send wave after wave of troops at you!). After I’m done with this mess of paperwork I hope to have time to play it for more than 20 minutes. One further development is that in the very near future my domicile will have an increased internet speed (finally). I’ve been waiting for this upgrade for quite some time so that I can return to playing Left 4 Dead, World at War, and Team Fortress 2. When will then be now? Soon.
