Must...keep...posting!
*pauses*
Well, I think that my low post count deserves some explanation. As Dennis Leary once said, "Life's gonna suck when you grow up". Well, I'm starting to catch his drift. With my father in the hospital with a case of diverticulitis, a big math test coming up, and a recent crisis involving someone spreading a rumor that I'm going to ask someone out to a dance that I can't go to, I've got quite a full plate. At least I've got enough Love Hina and Monty Python to keep me going.
*pauses*
Must...hang...on!

[C-Chan]

Poor Yinzer.... ;__;

Okey-doke, it's settled then.  ^^

I'll stop posting like a freak so that everyone else can catch up.  ^v^

(That way, maybe, I can do some more drawing and catch up with Mac Manga translations.  And also explore that whole home-brewed Anime thing.  ^^')

Made 5+ post today (I think)...not bad.

For the last 2 days, I was really wierded out when my programmer freind  installed a Yellow Dog on my iBook. He really wanted to reccomend me using this. So I have no choice, he installed the CD. Yet since I'm not really use to using Yellow Dog Linux and some of the important files were missing, I wanted to switch back to OSX...and I had little hard time bringing back OSX Tiger. But it is still good that he is able to bring it back...;173  

I guess it'll take time for me to try Yellow Dog Linux on my iBook again  ;063

[C-Chan]

Bless you for having Yellow Doggy.  ^__^

That's the distros that often accompanies AmigaOne systems!  ^v^

Hmm...our own OVA. I better discuss this new concept on the OVA thread!

[C-Chan]

Jeez, 1300 already?  How?  '__'

*sigh*  -__-

Considering my post count is getting too big to handle, I'm thinking of taking a small vacation from forum posting.  
I could probably use the time to draw, translate the Mac Manga, maybe do some more Wiki avis and of course the whole animation experiment thingie.  ^^'

What opine y'all?  ^^'

Rubbish. C-Chan must both post and draw. ^___^

(Super Ego: And Pitkin-san is the best person to say that; he doesn't either draw or post too much.)

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like giving orders. v_v

[Silentbob]

You should do all those things, C-chan.  But don't go and disappear alltogether. (you know, like I did).      ;014

Find some kind of way to just post a little in between.  Exercise some kind of restraint... or maybe some sort of self-punishment method.  -_-;;;    Just kidding, hehe.  

[MisterCat]

C-Chan, I agree with Pitkin and Silentbob:  Do not ââ,¬â€ repeat, do not ââ,¬â€ vanish from the board!  Let me put it another way:  Please don't vanish from the board.



=^..^=

[C-Chan]

*sniff sniff*  You mean I'm obliged to be a posting slave....  ;-;
Hidoi Pitkin-san....
You might as well stick a jail collar on my neck and call me "Mami".  ^v^'

In any case, it'd only be for a couple of days, you know.  `v'
I ain't pulling no 2-month absence like said person with an awesomely-kawaii avatar -- more like from now till Sunday, for example.  ^v^'

Besides, I'm a horrible multi-tasker, so I usually have trouble mixing anything between other things.  -v-'

And the whole crux of the matter is that my post count is so high, it makes me feel bloated like a,........... hog.....  Ã,¬__Ã,¬

....

'kay, granted that should be natural, but in any event I need to let other people catch up.

I'll think it over for another day, but if I do decide on the vacation, you musn't worry too much about it.  Otherwise you'll give off the impression that you're dependent on this piggy, which should never and must never be the case if you're thinking in the long-term.  '_'

*trots off to ponder*

[SleepyD]

I disappeared for like, what, 2-3 weeks?

ehe. Jeff sees no problem. At least there's a warning here. ^^

[C-Chan]

Sonotori!  ^v^
It's as SleepyD says.  -v-

Of course, things are different now that a new Amiga user has popped up in this board.  The last thing I want to do is disappear for a few days when a fellow Amigan is in need of company!  ^v^

[CaptBrenden]

I see no problem with c chan taking a leave of absence.. as long as it is to finish the 3.1 2.0 picture.   HINT HINT.


Other news, Im not sure you are all aware but the comic project that had pretty much ground to a halt for a time is movign again, slowly but more surely.  Got a new motivated writer that has compiled and assembled more writting so far then we did the entire first year of the project (tho that aint sain much)  even so far as to have already started scripting out issue one.  hopefully there will be at least a rough draft of the comic of it by new years.

Further on that note, I just picked up Manga Maker 3.0 debut.   Ill say yes it was a gamble but so far it has PAID OFF.  I was worried i was just shelling out the money for some cheezy paint knock off or something of the sort, but it turns out to be an extreamly useful program thus far.  Perfect for what it claims to do! It combinds the elements of photoshop, publisher, and opencanvus in a similer style but it has unique tools spicificly for comic artists.  on top of that it has a massive computone archive!   This should seriosly help me out.

On another note im not too sure any of you are aware of,  I have a little more then a week left in the marine corps (well not counting terminal leave)  very soon I will no longer be able to call in artillary strikes on you, but I will have a normal schedule and will be able to work on the project more regularly. I will also be moving back to washington (too bad i never got a chance to meet my near by so cal forum neighbors) getting my own apartment and will have high speed internets again (compleat with a series of tubes!)

With all that being said, there may still be parties interested in joining the project.  My messangers can be found on my profile, message me and let me know, otherwise you will miss out.  the public discussion and such works for general ideas and discussion but lets face it work dosent get done very fast when your waiting for posters to reply in thier own sweet time.  thus from this point out the manga team will be working behind the sceans posting mile markers such as compleated scripts, drafts or issues, but not as much of the work inbetween. Most of that is going to be done by messanger programs.  More artists are always welcome, but currently our big unfilled team position/project is creating a portion of the site to post the comic, cus lets face it, neither the forum or the gallery currently is a very good fromat for displaying any form of cronological comic.  If there is anyone with web site skills that has the time to make a simple comic friendly web page design that can be attached to the forum like the gallery currently is they would be a valuble member of the team.  We would even lovingly call you the webmaster.  Might even be some groveling.  

After an issue or two is up, then it will be a simple matter of keepign it up and spreading the word about it.   Newyinz and wiki would be a good one (its been a while since i read the article but im pretty cirtain there is a list of available comic sites on there too we could be added too...)

Another possible department *coughbaconbits-sancough* would be subbing, but in reverse!  Translating it into japanese for our possible japanese audiance!

Now that that info is out of the way,  im happy to say I got the first 12 eps of rozen maiden.  LOVE IT.  Tho not nearly enough to say the blasphamus things some of you have said about akamatsu-san's work.  I shall have to rant about it muchly (as well as raving and foaming at the mouth about my poor connection preventing me from getting the second half)  later but I will say this so far,  the villan is the best character in it (and i swear it has nothign to do with the fact she could be 3.1samas twin sister) .  Hands down. lets hear it for junk!  Im just a sucker for bad girls that have a good heart deep inside (like evangeline or kanako) Im hoping in season two they bring her back somehow in more of a protagonist role.  

anyhow, now I must draw some,  as well as collect up all my feild gear I have to turn in to wash.  So little time so much to do.  the next week is going to be hell.  

This is the captain, out.

[NewYinzer]

Sucker for Akamatsu's bad girls, eh? Well, I guess you've found a niche. As for me, I'm mostly recovering from a few hard days. With my dad's operation and extended hospital stay (he's fine now), a ton of homework, and an Algebra II Midterm, I'm in a pickle. Next week looks bad, with part II of the midterm, an essay, and a huge lab report due before Christmas Vacation. However, by next Friday, it's all over. It's late, so I'll see yinz tomorrow!

[C-Chan]

Good to hear he's fine.  ^__^
Guess DR-DOS-chan sent good vibes, eh?  ^v^

Too bad she hasn't done homework in over 20 years.  -v-'

As for the Captain:

A) Already made nice progress with eComStation-tan:

http://www.verytragicalmirth.com/Images/eCSsketch.png

...so it shouldn't take long to finish her.  Got my inspiration back, so I should be able to pick up where I left off with 2.0/3.11-sama.  I already have initial face work and the Poser renditions ready, so it's not like I have to start from scratch.  -v-

B) The website assistance sounds interesting.  If you only need a simple one, the least I can do for you is to help set one up for your comic (plan to do the same for the translated Mac Manga).  Bear in mind that I've accidentally stretched myself thin as far as projects go -- while I don't intend to sideline you, this just might be my delusion of grandeur talking right now.  ^___^;

C) You thought Suigintou looked like 3.1-sama?  O__o

..............................................................

.....Personality-wise I liken her more to OS/2-tan, but okay.  ^^;

On the other hand, in Traumend,... hoho.....

I can see you kissing the screen when you meet the REAL 3.1-sama clone.  ^v^

D)  Sorry if I missed anything.  My brain is too scrambled to make out ever detail in your post.  Xvx

Maybe I will take that vacation after all......  ^________x
