I never realized how much time has passed. Lately I've been so absorbed with my next flash project that I didn't even know it has been almost two months (again!)I feel so old. Right now, I put my Kid Icarus flash on hold and currently doing something else.

This one is a Saria/Oot flash. I'm not abandoning the other one, but this one will be easier to complete due to the fact that I won't need voice actors for it. Its a music video. Right now, I've gotten about 45-50% of the animating done.

I'd give it about two months before it is ready. Mainly because I'm in the middle of moving to a different city.

I'm sure by now you've heard on the news about the floodings and levee breaks. Well, a couple of days after came home to visit my parents, our area got hit with some flooding.

The good news is that our town didn't receive any flood damage. Bad news, about every other community around our town did. Now, I'm thankful that our town was spared. I don't even know how. Was our town built on higher ground? Were we far enough from any rivers to prevent flooding?

In terms of utilities, we lost the cable for two days. I know it sounds whiny, but it was when my dad's factory makes its debute on the show "Factory Made" on the Science Channel. It seriously cut off right before they were going to show his segment. So now I have a spare tape ready to record it if we get a chance to see it again.

Finally, a rumor on the radio said that the city was going to shut off the water for an indefinite amount of days. Well, that sent down the hole. Every one went to Wal-Mart and bought out every bottle of water that they can get within 30 minutes that they announced it(combined with the fact that shipments haven't been arriving due to the closed highways.) I bought about four cartons, two for my family and two for my grandparents. There was some people that would load up their cart and have two more stacked high with their kids pushing them. There was no meat, milk, diet soda... there was just so many areas where it was empty.

One hour later, the rumor was decomfirmed .

Its been a few days, I really wanted to write about it earlier but at the same did not. I'm happy that one of the worst floodings in a long time went around our town but I'm just still shocked.

Just one of many oddities of the Internet. I'm not so sure if it is real or not. One thing for sure is: I'm glad the Ninja turtles are bald and wear nothing but belts. So if Leonardo's Captain Kirk...

A good guess would be that Dontello is Spock... but what would Raphael and Michelangelo be? Any ideas?

Anyways, I got a visit from Jehovah's Witnesses today. They were pleasant to talk to, didn't take too long, and didn't hand out a free bible. Although there was something odd about this visit. Now, my fiance's last name is Gan and he's half Chinese. Apparently that's how they picked our apartment. They brought over:

-Pamphlets in Chinese (I think simplified)
-A bible for him to read in Chinese

They asked if he speaks Chinese, and I told him he studied it from school. They then asked if it was English, but I corrected them and said no, English IS his primary language.

They weren't being racist at all. They were sweet old ladies, who probably didn't know much about how to approach people of a different background.

The only thing I can think of is that they thought we were immigrants since his name sounds so foreign.

Man, I didn't t time could fly so quickly. Well folks, according to the side here, I haven't made or visited Deviant Art since Feb 25. No, I didn't leave, I'm not mad at anyone. I just kind've got distracted.

Anyways, I was going through my collection of games one day only to realize a few things:

1) I never finished VP nor started its sequel.
2) Never started Onimusha (I think that's how it's spelt)
3) Halfway done with Mortal Kombat: DA
4) Need to start Kingdom Hearts
5) haven't started Twilight Princess

So I told myself that I would try to at least finish some of these before getting any more.

All was going well until "it" came. Smash Bros Brawl.

So from that point on until today, I've been under the biggest gaming binge in a long time (even worse since I've borrowed Harvest Moon from my sister )

In that time, I did manage to finish Valkyrie Profile 1 though. If you are not familiar with the series, this game is LONG. Especially if you are the type who wants to level up to the maximum stats. The last dungeon (the secret one) takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete without any save spots in between. Ouch. Neat thing is that the characters are voiced by alot of the main stars of the first pokemon cartoons. I think the main character is done by Officer Jenny and the lead male is Brock.

Another funny thing to note is that the one who plays Jesse does two characters. However, she makes no effort to try to hide the fact that she plays both of them despite one being like 12 and the other is in their mid twenties.

So now, I'm at Harvest moon and Tales of Symphonia (dah I got distracted again). I haven't did anything else aside from going to work and fixing dinner. I'm trying to slowly get back to my old routine. You know you did too much gaming when your hands hurt and at night, you dream you are playing the game, open your eyes and realize your holding an invisible controller.
