Upgrades and FIST-A-CUFFS!
This last week has sucked a bit.
It has been since about 2003 since I upgraded my computer and so, for my birthday this year, I ordered a bunch of new parts for my computer. I wanted to upgrade my RAM (though I came to find out that Windows, being as retarded as it is, will only allow for about 3.5 gigs of RAM - idiots), which meant I needed a new motherboard, which meant I needed a new video card and a new processor. I also upgraded to a 500 gig hard drive rather than my 120. Should be a pretty slick machine, right?
Well, we got it all together last Sunday and it refused to work. Nothing can be easy, right? Ugh. My cousin thought it might be a bad motherboard or processor, so he took it home to work on it. Well, it turns out it was my power supply, of course. Something totally unrelated. And I had just bought the damn power supply last Christmas! Good grief. I'll never understand why things don't just work the way they are supposed to.
So, anyway. A week later and I've finally got my computer back. So far, so good. It absolutely flies! My cousin suggested to turn my old hard drive into a scratch disk for Photoshop and so I think I'll try that out, see how that works. Anyway, I'm really excited to put this new machine to the test.
And by God, I never want to go a week without my computer again.
That aside, Fist-a-Cuffs (http://fistacuffs.blogspot.com) just wrapped up. I teamed up with Kennon James (http://www.kennonjames.blogspot.com) and Melita Curphy (http://www.missmonster.com) to form the Blue Bloodz! We did pretty well. We won the East Division but lost the final against the Daughters of General Melee. Cool team, but I don't think they would have had even a slight chance of beating the Blue Bloodz in reality. But, it all depends on viewer votes, so congrats to them.
Anyway, here is my character - Six Gun O'Shea -
Well, hopefully there won't be such a long time between updates for a while since I have my computer back. I don't plan to go without it for some time and I'll be setting my old computer back up just to have a back up, heh.

I really dig this piece. It just seems really well-shaded. In the round, ya know. The character design is just too cool, as well.
Bummer about your computer. My wife's G5 has been in the shop for Apple-care warranty work since October. We did get a loaner after the first month, but its about time to get ugly.
Thanks Ben! And damn, since October! That's unacceptable.
