One of these days, I'm going to be left stranded somewhere.
Backstory:
About 2 or 3 years ago (on my birthday, of course), I was fueling up at a gas station. When I got back into my car, the key wouldn't turn. I had to have it towed back to my brother's shop, and we found out that the ignition cylinder broke and needed to be replaced. Thankfully, my car was still under warranty at the time, and I got it fixed at the dealer for nothing.
Methinks the same thing is beginning to happen again. Last Saturday, early in the morning, I was about to drive up to Denny's to have breakfast with 3 co-workers. Key wouldn't turn the first time, but it then was fine after I removed the key and then tried again. It was fine since then.
Next, yesterday, as I left work, it happened again. This time it took me a good 5 minutes of pissing around with it before I finally got the key to turn. I had to go shopping afterwards, so to avoid getting stranded at the mall I just left my car running while I went inside. LOL. But, when I got home, I tried the key 6 times and it was fine, and it has been fine since then (knock on wood).
But I'm sure, one of these days, it's going to break and break for good, and I'm going to be stranded. Yay.

The End of Condemned
Finally got around to finishing this game tonight, and the ending wasn't actually that bad. I expected something stupid, since this is a horror game afterall. And for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. But, at least they gave me a CHOICE at the end, which is something not enough games provide.
As for the scare factor, let's just say that the final thing I had to fight was about a 10 on the Undies-Soil-ometer. I enjoyed ripping off his jaw.
Computer Failure
I typically have pretty good luck with computers. Today, apparently, was not typical. Luckily though, at least for me, it wasn't MY computer that I broke.
So I'm at work, and one of my fellow peasants is having problems with something not pasting into out system correctly. Nothing new there, some of the shit we get from our customers really sucks ass. Anyway, I go over to help him out, and I figure out a way to get the text to paste properly. Sadly, the portion of text was too large for our little program called "Copy Table Text" to handle, so I had to break it into two parts. When I took the first part of the text into this program and clicked "Full Preview", the video card on the computer DIED.
It was quite the entertaining experience. The resolution was cranked down by Windows to 8 colors/640x480. Rebooting brought it back to normal, but it would fuck over again once you did ANYTHING. (Fade to black, colors everywhere, then fucked up resolution.)
Fried the video card with the CLICK OF A BUTTON! Talent....

So it's slightly less funny around here...
Sorry folks, no comic this weekend. And depending on the situation at my pathetic excuse for a job, there may not be one this weekend either. But don't worry, I shall make it up to you. The next 1 or 2 comics that I do will be DOUBLE SIZED. Woo!

I have no title for this...
There appears to be an epidemic of MySpacing where I work. As anyone who reads this regularly knows, I really never got into the whole fad. Sure I joined...only because someone asked me to. **Looks at CM**
But yeah, it's come to my attention that probably half my office is on it. I have nightmares of getting a bulletin on my page one day announcing the first annual company MySpace Bash. I will seriously have to throw myself in front of a very large moving object. (No nazi jokes!)
I can see it now -- CEO comes walking in going, "Hey guys, sorry about your bonuses that you never got, I spent it all on my sex change operation. Don't I look FABULOUS?!" *lifts up shirt*
And I'll be so fucking drunk, due to the horrendousness of the situation, that I'll be yelling, "Oh fuck yeah, I can't even see the airbrush lines! Now please excuse me while I rip my fucking eyeballs out of my head."
I'm so fired. But who gives a fuck? It's FUNNY!
Edit: I just realized that I most likely have my blog linked from my MySpace page. EVEN FUNNIER!

It's time for some spring cleaning when...
...you find 4 cell phone chargers plugged into the outlets behind your bar, belonging to the first 4 cell phones you've previously owned.
