Hm.
I know I had a lot of interesting things to talk about, but I can't quite remember what they all were..

Well, the first one that comes to mind is my sudden flow of money. My parents paid me back for the 100 dollars they have owed me for quite a few months, along with the three months of allowance that has somehow eluded me.

Yes, I keep track. I have a nice little calendar with allowance days marked off, and I put a special mark on them when I am not given my promised five bucks in a timely manner.

Well, they finally paid me back. The $100 are going towards my 8th grade class trip (Washington DC in '05, baby!), so I then had $80 to spend on whatever.

As luck may have it, a nice cheap online anime store put their Dance Dance Revolution soundtracks on clearance. Seventeen bucks. Nice deal, no?

And then, magically, Kaz IMed me about Half-Life. I mentioned my sudden money-having, and he suggested buying the Half-Life/Counterstrike/other HL mod compilation, off of a nice little store.

And so I borrowed my mother's credit card, ordered the stuff and sat giddily at the thought of the DDRMax2 OST and Half-Life.

Too bad my computer's lame. Otherwise I would try to buy Half-Life 2, once it comes out. I am, however, slowly convincing my dad to go upgrade our laptop. It wouldn't take much to advance the desktop, too.

Honestly, I don't think my computer's video card or amount of RAM would be the problem with running it.. My hard drive is just starting to get cramped. If we just get a secondary hard drive, or at least an external one, I think my comp would be fine.

..As long as I don't play on the highest settings.

Last night, out of nowhere, I became re-motivated to enter the next Rising Stars of Manga contest. I came up with some interesting new ideas and twists to an old short story of mine, though most of it is visual. It's going to be pretty awesome, if I put as much effort as I can into each and every frame.

Not to sound pessimistic, but I still doubt I will win anything. All of the winners so far have been much older and more experienced than myself.. Oh well. If nothing else, it will be fun to do.

I also wrote the script out ahead of time, so I won't worry about having to come up with dialogue on the spot (When that happens, 90% of the time it's corny). Unfortunately, I'm still not sure how I should end it. I have a certain thing set up right now that could be the end, but it would be a bit anticlimactic. There are two more little segments I could do, but both of them are a tad sappy and/or cliche.

I want this to be my best artistic achievement so far- there's no way I'm going to be lazy and do anything below awesome.

And I now end this post with a nice conversation I had with a friend of mine, who is always good for a laugh.
