The Emerald Fiend looks freaking awesome! A big "thank you" to Eric for helping me with the design.

Well I finished my second-to-last essay (hurray!), and I'm quite pleased with it. My last one is just a revision of an old one, so it should be easier. My two exams are still looming over the horizon as ominously as ever, but I'm confident that I can find a way to get through them with minimal grade and/or sanity loss.

So, all things considered, things are moving along quite nicely up/down (depends on where you are) here. We've got a bit of rain, but it's nothing serious, I finished comic #14, and my first essay, and still found time to play Mario Cart with my roommates. Blair B got StarCross'd Destiny back up, volume one of 9th Elsewhere has been published, and Krunal read all of Commissioned.

Tragically, however, I haven't had a whole lot of time to play Final Fantasy XII. I think I might be starting to have withdrawals...what? What's that Balthier? You say I should go hunt down the bangaa pirates? But...but I can't right now, I've got finals. I...that's...no, no I couldn't possibly...the moogles will never give me the answers to the exam! No...no, it'll never work, my level isn't high enough! Even if I had enough license points there's no place that sells those spells. If there were monsters around that had the spells, then I could hunt them down and take them, but I don't know of any...what? You say the readers have them...?

Enjoy,
