My life seems a lot less unbearable now that my final English essay is in. All that's left that school related for the semester is study for finals. Which, c'mon, do I ever study?

Anyways, my birthday is coming up, July 24th. A two-month head start in case your presents for me take a while. I already have a small list of things I want, a few of which I can buy since I sold my TV for sixty bucks last week (whilst at the same time making my Great Aunt that I sold it to very happy).

Moving on, my brother bought me a copy of Pokemon Pearl yesterday because he wanted some player-player battles. However, he's had his copy of Diamond for a few months and has all the badges so I have some catching up to do before I can do anything. I enjoy the Pokemon games but I'm never felt I'm all that good at them since I have trouble keeping all my Pokemon at an even level.

Project: "Tears" is making good progress. The second, much improved, demo version is available for download at NintenKingdom 64's forums. I'm hoping to draw some art of it eventually. I tried drawing Rebecca (the female lead) but it didn't turn out so well. Do you know how much black colored pencil smeers when you run a regular eraser over it.

I've recently taken an interest in international hit game show Russian Roulette (I find the concept of Russian roulette fascinating, although I have a serious dislike for guns). I found some videos on YouTube and according to Wikipedia, there's gonna be a new season next year. Now all I have to do is get cable in that time so I can get Game Show Network. I'm currently hosting a forum version of the game at NintenKingdom for those interested in participating.

So yeah, things are looking a lot better now. I plan to update my website and post some Brawl screenshots I've made here soon.
