So, I think I killed a guy's grandfather.
It's a long story, but I'm basically cursed. When I bookmark a webcomic, there's a 25% chance that they will immediately go into a hiatus. When I bookmarked Sokora Refugees, it went on hiatus for a few months, for an unknown reason. Same with Chugworth Academy. Zebra Girl, a comic that had at one point been updating daily for years, suddenly saw its author hit a long streak of writer's block that has made him unable to do more than an update a month. It's still going on. I believe I bookmarked Holy Bibble not long before they went on a break, including a faked war between the writer and artist.
Usually, this curse manifests in slightly late updates, usually minor enough that I don't get a chance to notice it. This time, however...
The day that I bookmark this comic, No Need for Bushido, one of the guys who make it announces that the other guy's grandfather has died, and thus the comic is not going to update for a week or two. In other words, immediately after I bookmark the site, events force them to not update the comic.
I can't ignore the signs of a curse, that has now resulted in someone's death. I can only guess that the next time my curse manifests itself, the artist or writer or artist/writer of the webcomic will die themselves.
In serious news... You know what, no, if you want serious news, go here:
http://www.cnn.comI may whine and complain in this thing too fucking much, but at least I know that these are the rantings of an unimportant person. My problems are lesser than the rest of the world, my life is cushy, and--
Wait, scratch that, don't go to the above website. Go to this one:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/I may be indecisive, but as easy as it is to digest, CNN is not exactly the pinnacle of news.
Okay, in more realistic news relating to myself... Damn, I've still got nothing. Except more homework issues. I will say that, when I finally get my short story with the genie done, I will feel relief like nothing else. Seriously, by Monday, I think I'll be out of homework assignments for a few weeks.
Oh, except for my aesthetic diary for Visual Arts. That's due in a couple of weeks. I need to get out and do that. And I need to do my beard-off stuff. Time has flown by way too quickly these past couple of weeks.
Time is moving too fast...
