I have to say, it feels kinda weird not always having my laptop with me. Honestly, i never go anywhere without my 12″ powerbook in my flapdoozy bag (the original one, you know - the one i had before starting Megatokyo, where all the flapdoozy stuff comes from :P) but now Hikari (that is what i named my powerbook - my desktop is Reki, sarah’s laptop is Nemu, etc. :P) seems to have taken her day of flight, and i’m bereft without her…
Ok, it’s not really THAT bad. On sunday sarah and i went up to the Apple store and made use of their ‘Genius Bar” - a pretentious name, but its actually a very smart idea - a couple of techs who look things over and try to help you out with whatever problems you are having with your apple product, and do it is a very casual friendly way. Anyways, after determining that there really was something wrong, it was decided that Hikari needed to be sent in to be given a full going over. Oddly enough, they have a simple flat fee system where you pay a set fee and they fix whatever is wrong with it. Nice. Also, i opted to have them pull the data off the hard drive before sending it, so i don’t loose anything (esp since there are a bunch of things on there from this month that i never backed up). Should have her back in a week.
Till then… wow, its weird not having a computer at home. I’ve opted to not try to use my old Dell laptop - i’m going to try to go analogue for a while. Sit with my sketchbooks rather than my computer. It’s time i started increasing my sketch output anyway. I think better on paper than on the computer anyway.
So maybe this, in an odd way, is a good thing.

See, there’s your silver lining. ^.^ You get to spend more time with your inner artist.
Not to sound like a hippie, of course. But hippies are neat people, anyway. And if you don’t think they’re neat, they’re probably creepy.
Yeah, anyway, geez, that sucks, still. I thought I was going to have an aneurysm when my computer crashed before deadline (newspaper at school, phfeh). It seems like you’re cool with it though, and that’s a plus. ^.^
Anyway, yeah. ^.^ It was so neat to see today’s comic up, even though you had some technical issues. We all love and appreciate that! And it’s getting so GOOD. *tee hee!*
Sketching is a good thing. This is true.
You draw the best faces on Erika, it’s almost unfair
Today’s second panel dialogue…I don’t quite get yet…but that expression is something I think I’ve never seen before in ani/manga and should have.

Beg pardon for the mess. The submission script hung for five minutes and I clicked submit again.
Blarg. That happens to me alot, too.
Talk about flapdoozie… how about one that allows something like a… oh, 17inch PowerBook to fit?
Hey this is completely off topic but i was just so excited! I live in Australia, and I was in a book shop today and bought your first 2 megatokyo comic books! I couldn’t believe it, its so awesome! Congrats on the comic by the way you roxorz!
sry bout ur laptop dude i dont have one i never did and probly never will
sounds like MT is everywhere. is it in russia and europe too? that would be cool too! but i don’t live there, so yeah…….
ok, back on topic!
so piro, do you just draw whatever comes to mind or do you think about it a lot?
The board seems down.
Went to my old campus just now - very odd. Melded with the student body though.
Try to copy the important stuff to a portable hard drive. - Sparky
not as pretentious as some of the people that other people live with, but that’s completely off the subject. how is it like, being a sort of celebrity? i’m sorry about your computer, a lot of things like that happen. unfortunately the life span of a mechanical object is nothing compaired to an organic object. of course, sometimes organic can be so much more fragile then mechanical, depending on what is what you are comparing. maybe in some way, it is a good thing. maybe there’s something telling you that you need to be away from the computer for a bit? maybe, instead of sitting with the sketchbooks all the time, you should sit with Sarah. just some quility time, like a vacation. you work so hard and pretty much all the time. i mean, sure, you hafta put the lotion in the basket, but you also have to take a load off your heels before you run a hole in your souls, too.
hopefully you got something out of that rambling mess. either way, it’ll be nice when an idol actually cares what i think.
