Wow...

Wow, so this has been a pretty angsty emo blog so far... especially that last post, wow. Though I guess it still has a bit of my pretentious film critic crap in it too, hahaha.

Anyways, that's most of what I had to say. Although I guess I can say something positive/mildly constructive, too... Maybe I'll change my template sometime too... Oh the possibilities.

Anyways, (to start a sentence in my typically dismissively casual way) I've been really into this one webcomic, http://www.xkcd.com/ even though it's a lot of emo stuff, and the rest of it is Internet/pop culture/science/programming/language/math/weird humour... But yeah, I love it! It's got some fantastic comics, though lots of people don't get most of them. Which I guess makes me a bit of a pretentious indie kid. Oh great, I've made a slight genre-hop. Oh well... I guess all that's left to say is... well, here are some pearls that I've got in their archives!
Oh, and make sure you hover your mouse pointer over the pics too, it's usually got some kind of addition to the joke that's just brilliant! (Firefox sometimes cuts off the end of it, you can see it all if you right-click and open properties, or lay down your open-source pretention and use Internet Explorer, those evil bastards...)

Anyways...:
