My computer is back! And sweet sustained sonatas, I had not realized my screen was so messed up until it was fixed. Everything is so... bright...
  • Mood: Overwhelmed
  • Listening to: Radioactive - Imagine Dragons (Music Box version)
So... my computer is giving me significant troubles and may not be working for a while. I'm going to see about getting it fixed or (worst case scenario) replaced, but it may slow down things a bit, especially if I have to get a new one and figure out where all my computer program discs went. I apologize in advance, but hey, at least it waited to die until after I posted the last page of the Spring Break arc, eh?
  • Mood: Outraged
By your vote, "Sooner" won out over "Later", so the next arc is going to take place... rather quickly. Probably two pages a week. Maybe more, depending on how fast I finish the OTHER stuff that needs to get done. For this reason, I won't be able to respond to regular comments, though I'll try my best to answer questions that people may have.

I am too old to be having "Sempai noticed me!" feelings.

So, when the characters are talking and it's not necessarily immediately obvious who is saying what, sometimes I denote the speaker with a little icon, which is an idea horribly ripped off from a manga called Fruits Basket.

Erik, as we all know, gets his little Webber-style half-mask.
Jareth has a crystal ball.

James has his hat, and Javert has a French flag. I'm... significantly less pleased with the appropriateness of James and Javert's icons, since James has hardly worn that hat since the beginning of the comic, and Javert's flag is... well. Kind of odd looking in black and white. I'm considering changing them.

Which brings us to the purpose of this journal:
If I did, would you still recognize who was talking? Or are you guys so used to seeing the little tricorn and three-bars that you don't think you'd be able to get used to it?

And if I did change it... what do you think would be more appropriate symbols?

Some aggravation cut the cable lines to my building during some construction a few days ago. I'm currently without net until estimated Tuesday. I'll be able to snag some time on Monday to post thanks to the day job, but commentary will probably be down until the comic after, so I don't get bogged down.

Sorry, gang.

... for the Erlkonig's Daughter. Please include the meaning of a name, if relevant to why you chose it.


Also, random stuff for the 'verse is appearing on Tumblr now: buildingnumber42.tumblr.com
May scan some of those random whump pictures and post 'em there...

For anyone who cares, there's a Tumblr full of random things about Roommates for now, including secret headcanons and other questions.

It's: buildingnumber42.tumblr.com

So apparently, if the internet and tumblr is to be believed, that "warm kitty, soft kitty" song is a lot older than its appearance on Big Bang Theory. There seems to be a version from a 1990s kid show called Play School.

Which. As many of you may know, had a young actor among its cast members named Philip Quast. Yes, that Philip Quast. And apparently he sang the song.

I know how a strange mental image of Quast!Javert replacing Jareth in 298.

One, new David Bowie album coming out. New single sounds... very sad. Video looks... kinda sad. Hm.

Two, and this is the important one... if there was a chance to influence the storyline... a direct result of your participation in a relatively narrow window... Would you like to try?

It won't be for a while yet, because I'd do my best to give plenty of warning, but there'd be... possibly a week? To participate. Does this sound doable? Or is that not enough time?


(Let's be honest, there's never enough time...)

ETA: At this point, it would probably either be a poll or a tumblr thing.

One of the friends who gave me the fruit basket commissioned a video trailer for the upcoming Major Storyline of 2013.

See Here: [link]

Incidentally, that is my tumblr for Roommates stuff, if I ever have stuff that doesn't get posted here.

But seriously. Video trailer.

My day is made.

My friends just gave me a fruit basket for the holidays. I've become a part of my own running gag.

Must close meta loop...

Seriously. You are all amazing, and I am very thankful for you all right now.

Two things:

1.) Mwahaha, everything just neatly fell into place like a perfect four-line in Tetris,

and

2.) If anyone is interested in working on a Roommates wiki, there's some rumors of one over here: [link]

If I sat down and actually indexed the story arcs and what happened in them, would that be something you guys would want to see? Would it be helpful? Would it kill some of the magic of speculation?

Where the devil would I even put something like that?

If one of the supernatural cast members pulled the souls out of the rest of the cast, what do you think they would look like? Draw it. Find a picture. Post it here. We'll compare notes at the end of the year. It will be fun.

Watched Rise of the Guardians. This is suddenly relevant to my interests. And, amusingly enough, to the current arc of Roommates.
