Now I know why the guys at Penny Arcade called New Super Mario Bros. Wii "Divorce Mode".

Though it was more depressingly funny than a family destroyer.

The man whom I have shared 5 wonderful years with. A man who shares a lot of my likes and dislikes. A man whose love of video games is the hardest of the core gamers, has been lost to the only genre of video games he has never been truly interested in. That genre is first person shooters. And the game responsible for it....Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

I knew something was wrong when he was playing an awful lot of Uncharted 2's multiplayer.

That was his gateway drug, now he's hitting the hard stuff...

BTW I don't really like first person shooters...but from what I see out of the corner of my eye, looks pretty interesting.

(Yes, I'm aware that Uncharted 2 is third person, but if it wasn't for the multiplayer and him conversing with some of the other players to try this out, he wouldn't have even giving it a passing glance.)

*Sigh* He even pre-ordered it too...

Yeah I know we're late to the game but we just don't jump on bandwagons like most when it comes to game unless it something that looks really interesting. I didn't play GTA 4 until it had been out for 3 months and I didn't even know it existed until my best friend told me he had it. And I didn't care because the GTA series didn't hold my interest besides going on rampages of doom for kill time or relive stress. And San Andres was just dull to me. But this isn't about that, this is about RE5 because this is actually the first Resident Evil game I've ever played. Like ever. I played GTA games before even the old top down ones but they didn't hold my interest until 4 which is not on my top ten favorite games EVAR!11! But, I have never even demoed, let alone touch a RE game. And now I'm hooked. I liked the game, and unfortunate implications aside, it was done spectacularly. Even better that, as I said above, its the only type of game I can play with my husband outside of MMOs!

Side Note: The reason I never played a Resident Evil game before was because when they were first introduced, the were marketed as a horror game, and I dislike anything horror related. But this didn't feel and more like horror than Devil May Cry imho.

P.S. The quick time events,aside from dodging, felt less 'God of War' to me and more 'Dragon's Lair' and 'Space Ace' to me. Probably because they happened through scripted cutscenes and not actual game play.

P.P.S: Yesterday was our 5th year wedding anniversary. Funny, no?

About 3 years ago, DA wet my palette as I somehow won a free month of premium services. Mind you this was before the site looks as spiffy as it does. Since then, I've been waiting for a chance to upgrade to premium while at the same time entertaining the idea for buying and maintaining a web page. But like I said in my previous post, I need to get off my ass to do it. Now it really seem like I need to 'cause money is tight, and I need more than my part-time job to help us out with the stuff we need and the things we don't-necessarily-need-but-would-like-to-have-anyway! And to pay for kung-fu. I really, really, REALLY want to go back to Kung-Fu!

If I do this project and others, get my portfolio together, post some if not all on DA and maybe a free blog site just to start it out, maybe I can finally get paid for what I studied for. Working at a newspaper as a graphic designer is a great start but I really need something that caters to my particular illustration skills. I know I don't really post like I probably should, but that's mainly because I get nervous and am afraid I'm not good enough especially since I don't want to be overlooked and this is my career choice. I know it's silly but I have to gird myself up just to post.

*sigh* Here's to moving forward.........

God, this is hard.....

Like I said, the old one was too, well old, so my hubby bought me a new one. It's nice to have a computer that boots up and gets on the internet in under an minute instead of waiting 5 minutes for all of that to happen. And a bit jarring. Not even the Mac I use at work boots up this quick. It's also a five minute machine if not longer...

Anywho, I would really like to change my username. I've been thinking about it for awhile now...hell I've been think about it since I made the account 6 years ago. Its a really old username I used for ever, even after I got over my Japanophilia, whatever. It was and still is a fail safe name and It's gotten old. Really really old. But it's too much of a hassle to create a new account and transfer all of this accounts info over to a new one. Devianart really needs to come up with a system for that because I discourages us to improve ourselves. It sucks to reference potential customers to this website with this name. It's so...childish. If they can't delete the account they should at least let you change the username, even if you have to pay for it. I'd get in on that in a heartbeat!

Even crappy-ass Myspace let's you do that...for free!

Apparently the components are configured differently than they were just a few years ago so the new parts my husband acquired don't fit the old computer. So the "new" computer should be here tomorrow or Tuesday, don't know. The annoying part is transferring everything from the old hard drive to the new computer. That is if he really can get the old one to work just enough for us to network to it.

At first I thought things were going to fall apart with the electric company because of their online billing services but that was cleared up immediately. No, but the one thing I wasn't worried about was the phone. I see why my mother grieved when AT&T acquired BellSouth. Apparently they replaced all of their experienced personnel with monkey because we were so being made fools of.

First, FIRST they copied our Address wrong. They accidentally swapped numbers. First I would like to say that we filled out a change of service form ONLINE so I don't Fsking know how they fske that up! Then, when we informed them we had of this they said we had to wait until Wednesday (service was supposed to be available Monday). So Wednesday comes and guess what...they send the technician to the wrong address...AGAIN (they sent him the first time. The people at the wrong address weren't there)! Repeat 2, no, 3 more times between Thursday and Saturday where the technician meets the people he's "setting service" for and they inform him that...THEY HAVE A PHONE! So someone gets a brain (the techie) and calls my husband how meets him and we find out that we will have to wait until SOMETIME NEXT (now this) WEEK until the fix the problem because they ultimately set up an another account on to an existing location that they visited 3 times and now we basically have to start over as if we are making a new account an that we didn't exist the past 6 years we have been using them (to be fair, we weren't. We were with Bell). *SIGH*

I would like to add that the phone was on by Friday but and that essentially, whenever my husband called to tell them they fsked up, it came down to someone not putting in the correct information for the technician to come to the right address.

So, as you can tell by the date of this entry, we got our internet on...FINALLY. This is basically the same kinda BS we went through when ComCRAP replaced TimeWarner in our area two year ago: S#tty! Only difference is a I hope they will get better as Comcrap is still just as incompetent as they were when they first arrived.

I hate you AT&T. I hate you so much.....

It actually looks like it's going to stick. For Central MS this is a really, really big deal. It's not safe for us to drive in this weather since we so rarely get it. I mean...RARELY. Last time it snowed (this past February) it was just a flurry. Last time it actually stuck was in 1997 so that tells you something. And it usually only snows for a day. I hope it sticks.

I think my friend summed up why I, and to a lesser extent himself, prefer GTA 4 than GTA 3 and it's spin-offs. He said that the main plot in the other 3 GTA's prior to IV has only consisted of "Mafia,Mafia,Mafia,Mafia,Mafia,Mafia, Kill this guys,Mafia,Mafia,Mafia,Mafia", and that all of the main characters were just straight up one dimensional stereotypical thugs. Where as in IV there is an actual story and the main character actually has an evolving personality. Full of sardonic wit and scathing sarcasm...Just like how I like my men.

Which brings me to my main point: Niko. is. HOT! I thought I had gotten over my fictional character crushes since I've been with my husband but, I'm still human (in a fan-girl sorta way). Besides the fact that he's an ex-solider/mercenary who hangs out with drug dealers and has a body count higher than the national debt, if he was real and I wasn't married, I'd totally hit that up! My hubby can lust after Lion NPC on FFXI Online, I can do the same for Niko. It doesn't help that he has a Slavic accent. Besides Spanish, which is known for it's sexyness and I'm am so lucky to here on a semi-regular basis from my hubby, I think Russian and the like is awesome! It's the other side of sexyness that Slavic languages imbue: The authoritative side. It just COMMANDS that kind of confidence you only find in the finest of men. The type of man who can proudly take an authoritative stance and be a gentleman with and icy stare and a sultry word with a enough power to melt the sun (that didn't make sense...)! It is a trait I (personally) can only find in Spanish and Slavic. God....It's just beautiful. I could listen to it all day.

Also, Niko kind reminds me of my husband and not because he has a big nose. Though my husbands nose is longer than wider like Niko's (actually Niko's looks kinda like it was broken; like Owen Wilson's nose) Niko, in my book, is what my husband would be like if he was more sardonic and scathing and less goofy and optimistic. But they are both smart-asses and its funny. Things Niko says in a very sarcastic tone my husband can spit out naturally without missing a beat while you're left standing if you were just insulted or not. I love that about that man. And when he takes charge despite how upset I am with him...

If he was just a bit more jaded....weeeeeee'd probably not get along, that's my job.

So this whole 'review' is purley objective and it was more about how I am drooling over a mesh of polygon's than the actual gameplay element but, I'm a sucker for take charge men, whether they are real or not.

I've got a few of them that I'm pretty proud of...Well, proud of in the sense that they weren't bad for quick illustrations for work. Not that they're bad but I know I can do a lot better when I have more than 2 day to prepare.
It seems most of my drawing "me" time has gone to work and that makes me sad as well as happy, because even though I'm getting to draw more often and challenging my skills to make quick but professional looking art it makes me sad that I'm limited to, well work in making this happen. All of this will be useful in the near future as I work faster and become cleaner in my drawing and coloring but right now its limited to my paycheck.
Looks like I'll be at 4000 page views in the coming months but as usual I'll not make something in time. Its the perfectionist in me...which isn't "in" me per se since I'm a perfectionist 90% of the time. I want to make something spectacular you know, but I lose interest quickly. And this internet isn't helping. Somehow I seemed to have more focus when we had cable too. But that's not going to happen anytime soon. I really hate Comcast and satellite isn't allowed where we live currently. But I'm trying. I'm so trying to get back in the groove.....

I hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day. And, don't be all mad and stuff if you didn't have anyone to celebrate it with. You still have family and friends, celebrate it with them. And don't take this as a hypocratical response from a married woman, take it from a married woman who, before she even met her husband never had anyone besides her family to celebrate Valentine's Day with. Truthfully I never was one of those bitter people who used conspiracy theories about the orgin of V-Day ignoring the hundreds of years history of the the holiday being celebrated before the creation of the Hallmark Company (the only truth to that is that Hallmark may have had a hand in pushing the romantic aspects of the holiday more and down playing the religious one).

I actaually stopped caring about the romantic implications of Valentine's in 6th grade and focused more on wishing my Mother and brother a happy V-day and expressing my love for them by doing little things. So you don't have a love to give you sweets, take you to dinner, or do...other activites with. Big deal. Just enjoy the day and spend it with people you love who are close to you rather it be familial or plantonic. Think of all of the people who DO have someone but that person NEVER gets anything on V-day. Make is seem pretty superficial doesn't it?

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day!

However so slightly...

Anyway, my hubby is going to Birmingham to pick up my brother's truck that we "bought" from him.
I should explain...We were having problems with our car coupled with the fact that, really we needed another mode of transport ion since we work in opposite directions of each other. Also, my sis-in-law was really tired of seeing my brother's 10 year old truck (his first vehicle) not being used since he carpools and they work relatively in the same area. They made plans to buy, but of course my brother is attached to it so he was very unwilling to let it go...and still is but that is another story.
So, anyway my husuband and I thought the same thing that we could take it off his hands and that it wouldn't, I dunno, "hurt" his feelings so since it would still be in the family and he could, like, visit it or something...?(Men....). So he agreed; We paid for whatever repairs it needed. But we hit a snag. He didn't get the car fixed in the time we alotted (just so you know the decision thought out 3 months prior) and we didn't get the truck in time and our car crapped out on us. So we had to bum rides from my mother who lives across town. Add my mother's apartment lease being lifted before she could get another place and you've go a nice big stew of (insert string of curse words)...drama.
It was going to be really really bad cause, I know it was because he didn't want to let go but my brother said he wouldn't have it ready until the end of THIS month....Yeah not happening. My husband...passively (I hate passive) confronted him, told him of our situation, the fact we gave him the money to fix it months prior and told him to have it ready by this Friday. Well, they have it done now so my husband is going to go get it.

I unfortunately, I can't go because he might not be back before Monday and I have to work, where as he has the day off. I say unfortunately because, all summer, we never did get to go anywhere or do anything and my original plan was to go and spend time with them while we got the truck before I got this job where I wouldn't be able to take off so early in my employment. ...I'd go in to more but I've written enough already.
So, yeah....that's all I can really say. My husband leaves tomorrow at around 6pm and hopes to be back here with the truck Sunday evening if not Monday morning. With the truck at least we won't have to use my mom's car anymore. And I won't have to drive so dandgum much.

My ear has been killing me for the past three weeks and I've taken tons of meds for it. This new antibiotic that my Dr. put me on (cause the other one ONLY got rid of the infection) actually makes me physically ill. You know I've read plenty of medication packets that said that vomiting could be a side effect, but I've never had it actually make me vomit! And really this is my only option since I'm allergic to penicillin (that make me vomit too...). But the other alternative is to get tubes placed in my ear and then truly my whole summer is shot because we have yet to go swimming once this year!

This has been a terrible month for me...

Jesus Christ! Why!?
I KNEW I shouldn't have left my cup on the night stand but NOOOOOoooo I just had too! I KNEW this would happen but did I listen to the my better judgment?! NOOOOOOOOO!

God..why didn't I listen?! I'm so

Why didn't I look first?

Twice in two weeks I have been sick

!
I'm NEVER sick in the summer and now I have been sick in the span of nearly a month!

I blame global warning...

...or maybe its just Mississippi.

Well, the second job is meh, the one I'm striving for, the newspaper job is always fun. I love the illustrations that I get to do I just wish I was on the payroll. I pray to God that that job is as good as mine come September....I pray so hard...

I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure plagiarism is when you claim something is your's but is not. And I'm definitely not making a profit off of this simple wallpaper. I'm not happy with this course of action but unless they are getting on to other people for the same thing I'm going else where. I'm not going to be threated with banning for an image I've had up for over 7 months.... ]]> ~Nadiasama Having two jobs... http://Nadiasama.deviantart.com/journal/13505614/ http://Nadiasama.deviantart.com/journal/13505614/ Tue, 26 Jun 2007 23:37:46 PDT

Besides that I get paid for it and receive a discount on merchandise, I don't consider it my real job. My internship is more my real job and hopefully one day it will be my paying job. But for now, I must endure retail again.

It won't be so bad. I'm back at a game store again. Unless the employee's are ass-hats, it shouldn't be a problem.

P.S. I pretty much expect the customers to be intellectually draining so no sense in including them.

My dream, since the day I declared my profession (i.e. nine years old) I've wanted to tell a story with my art. At first I wanted to be an animator, that is until I found out how much work is put in to making one 22-minute animated feature. Granted, animation is still in my mind but as a designer of characters (or character designer if you will

) to being the creative force behind a piece or series of animation. So what better way for that dream to come to fruition than to make a comic? I know, I know most american comics don't have the same paper to film process as manga does over the pacific but it is still a possibility. Also I think it helps the vision of a piece to come full circle better that way. When a creator is deeply involved with their product coming to life, whether it be on the small screen or the big screen, sometimes, not all does the creator get to re-imagine sequences, moods or the overall story (not always a good choice) the way they were not able to do before. So that is what I will be pushing for, but first I have to make the comic first.
I just hope that it will be good enough to make that leap. Even if it doesn't that's fine too. Even if I have a small fanbase I will be happy because someone is getting something out of it. And I would have accomplished my mission.

So basically what I'm saying is, I'm going to make sure this happens. I've got the basic outline on how it starts and how it ends and ideas on what happens in the middle. I'm grounded and set, I just need the direction and the gumption to begin it. Basically, I'm a bit scared...and for many justifiable reasons. But one doesn't succeed with out trying. Just to say I tried is good. I don't want to quit until the story is finished. I'm going to try very hard and to not let it get away from me.

As God as my witness, it will be done...

...It will...

I will NEVER criticize my husband when he comes home tired and sore ANYMORE! I had no idea that sitting in front a computer for 6-7 hours could be so painful.

I, ladies and gentlemen, have been humbled....

Which makes me wonder...What the HECK am I doing at the computer?! SHEESH!! I'm going to bed...

I am an college honors graduate!

I'm so happy! I actually walked today and just hearing them say "Cum Laude" made me feel...well, great! (and smart

)

Thank GOD that is over. Now my resume will look even spiffier!

No more school, hooray!!!

After seven years I'm can finally shed the shackles of higher learning and put my skills to good use in reality. This time its all going for making a life and not grades! Thank God for real.!

Unfortunately all of that moving wore me out in the form of a strained back muscle. Man that hurt!!!

I just hope the next time we move it's into a house or at least a place we're going to spend more than a year at. We're only going to be here a year and see where both of our careers take us.

But thank GOD I don't have to bust my butt anymore going to school!

Lena Park does a better job at singing "Raise Me Up" than any other version I have ever heard...

I know what happens at the end of the story but....I hope they change it just this once.

Or at least they don't die so pathetically ( ROMEO she was still WARM you IDIOT!!!!)

Mid-terms are over! I made an AWESOME piece and I have a huge allergy headache. YAY! Let Spring Break commence. I just better not get this year like I did last year. This is my last spring break before I enter the workforce. I want it to be "perfect" (i.e. I sleep all day and stay up all night).

*sigh* At least spring break is right after this. Then again, once we come back to school, I have to take my C-Pas (state graphic designer's test). Luckily, my teacher wrote it but, hoo boy. Nuts.

I am SO happy! My 6 year+ torture is about to end, and the endless torture of a "real" job is about to begin!

But first I have to get through my Graphic Designers test at the end of March and then I can tell that stupid school to shove it!! I'll never complain about MSU ever again...cause this school sucks for real!!!!!

I have been without my crappy yet vital piece of equipment since Dec. 15. I had this wonderful piece of fanart (something I rarely do...fanart that is) nearly completed but the damned thing decided to die. We, in fact did finally get the coveted processor in last weekend but it seems that the heat-synch nor the processor was the initial problem as to why my compter could stay on no longer than a few minutes (now seconds). So now we might have to replace either the less expensive memory or the more expesive and recently upgraded (it was only a year old) motherboard. This is a bunch of *^&$!!!

I hate computers but need them sooooo badly....
