Things i do on the net

Well i thought that i shopuld write something, anything on here... so i thouth i would tell you about my daily routine on the internet, i dunno why, just will.

There a 3 or 4 main sights that i usually frequent- Facebook- I practically live on it at work... cause its the only thing that keeps me from shooting my clients.

www.explosm.net

The main reason for this website is to read cyanide and happiness, probably one of the funniest web comics out there. Its updated everynight and the writers are very witty. ALthough it is based around black humour- death, rape, sodomy and the likes (not all of it though, just a good %). Its still worth a read. You dont have to have been reading it from the start like other comics which makes it very accesable to new readers.
The web site also contains reviews and thoughts from the writers, although these are few and far between they are usually quite funny. Reading a 2-part 5 page each review of one horribbly bad movie, all with pictures certainly kept me going one week at work. There are some short anuimations, my favourite being noodles. Merchandise is also available through for the diehard fans.

next in the agenda is another webcomic- Dr. Mc Ninja

I love this comic... its stupid, but very funny if you like the dry wit style and bad pop cuture references.

Basically the story is outlined as this- he's a doctor who comes from a long line of irish ninjas- the McNinjas. He lives somewhere in America- ive forgotten the location exactly and works in his own clinic with his recpetionist Judy, who happens to be a gorilla. He also a sidekick- Gorditto who rides a raptor- Yoshi.
This comic is updated in America On Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, so in Aus i get on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, usually mid afternoon.
Consistency wise it is not always published on time or may skip a few days, but as this is done on semi-professionaly i think its forgivable, the two guys who do this do have other things going on in their lives.
Art wise it's pretty consistent, it started off in black and white but with the latest story arc it has moved to colour and is well done.
I would recomend this comic to people who like adult swim and all that funky stuff, and things like robot chicken.

and last but not least is www.onemanga.com
This is probably the best website ive come across so far for up to date manga translations.
WIth a huge database of old and new mangas that people have dutifully taken the original source, scanned and translated to english for the die hard fans who cant wait the months inbettween official releases of paperbacks.
Mangas such as naruto, onepiece, bleach and all that are published weekly, usually one a friday arvo, its great to wittle away those slow end of week arvos.
I persoanlyl follow two mangas avidly- tsubasa and Negima, both of which i still buy the english paperbacks of. I even have a tsubasa tattoo on my back... so you can imagine how big a fan i am.

Well there you have it.. i guess if youre a big comic reader, then this might help you out with some new info if you didnt know about it... especially you narutards

To start off, thank god it's friday, i'm so glad its the weekend tomorrow.

Although I'm hoping Monday comes soon, I have a job interview with a Govt Agency for a good position, and if i get it i'll be overjoyed! It excedes what I was aiming for by the end of the year, so that would be excellent.

Christmas is coming up soon... so im trying to figure out what to by the family, I just have no idea what to get some of them.... I know what I'm getting mum- one of those health smart grills thingy.. like a george foreman but not as expensive. And im buying my partner tickets to the big theme parks up on the gold coast for our holiday afte xmas, but my brothers and their wives... no ideas, i was gonna buy my eldest brother this keyboard bag thingy for his LAN games, but i have to order it from the US and with the shitty exchange its just gonna be way too expensive.. might have to check out ebay.. maybe see if i can pick one up cheap... hmmm.
And still no ideas for my sister as well...sigh

Im doing combined presents again this year.... so no need to try and figure out what to get my sisters in-laws/ sisters bf.

Hmm i wonder if i should get my partners parents a gift... :S

But on brighter news i know what nick is getting me- a cherry red 8gb nano ipod! I asked for it, and i specified the colour.. yay!
I already have an ipod... but its only 4gb and i max it out... so time to upgrade to a new one! and theyre the new model so ill be happy with that!
