    Also, didn't Mega have something of a habit of drinking any liquid that got within fifty feet of him?

    I vaguely remember him making a post about how he'd accidentally downed a bunch of bleach or something.

    Dear Hiring Manager,

    How are you? Fantastic. Does your art department art like me? No.
    Can your art department art like me? Yes.
    Should you hire me to art in your art department? I don't know.

    Do you like your 2D art to be full of adventure?
    Do want a 2D artist to paint you an intricate painting that would've taken months yet is given to you within an hour of the briefing?
    Of course you do.
    SWAN DIVE, into the 2D arting of your life!

    So Hiring Manager, should you hire me to be your 2D artist?
    You tell me.

    Love

    WOOHOO. A book just arrived through the post, a posh harcover art book featuring some of my work!!!

    There's a full page pic of a mini-print I did, and the picture of the print in the book is actually bigger than the print in real life!

    First time my work has been properly published. I am very pleased.

    edit: here is the book http://www.soundscreendesign.com/books-and-prints/rock-paper-show

    The production wrapped up last week. I didn't see anymore filming after that. Still, I ran into Vin! We talked and then we played street fighter at home.

    He starting coming on to me. I was like "No Vin, I don't like you like that" But he was like "Aaaahh!!!" So I hit him with a Lord of The Ring Gandalf doll... knocked him out cold... he wasn't moving... he wasn't breathing... oh God!

    I killed Vin Disel!!!

    *someone continue the story, lets see where it goes*

    Then it got really weird. Vin's body started to shudder, and he sat bolt upright. There was a fine sheen of sweat coating his bald head and muscular torso.

    He pointed a finger at his necklace, smirking at me.

    "You know what this is?"

    I didn't.

    "It's a Necklace of Reanimation..."

    I gasped.

    "+3 to STR."

    I gasped again.

    Hey guys, I'm in the middle of a tropical depression. Sort of. Just one of the bands.

    EDIT: Stuff from the gulf is so much more aggressive. Just had our first power outage from this storm, and several bolts of lightning have hit within a hundred yards from where I'm sitting.

    And I'm pretty sure I'm hearing hail.
