Rush out the front door in your skivvies and stop your sister!!!...NOW!!!

Kid, I love you, but sometimes...you don't treat people with near enough respect. Seriously. Arggh...

Memorial Day weekend was great, actually. Heather's "End Of The Year" party was good, even though some were missing and Heather was on the disabled list (she sprained/twisted/hurt her ankle and knee helping Ben and Michelle move). Buttershots are friggin' nasty, but some like them. Sunday was a barbeque at Heather's parents' house; there was weight-lifting, Nintendo, washers, softball, and lots and lots of charred meat. Yum. Yesterday I saw X-Men The Last Stand with Ben, Jeremy, Matt, Lisa, Jamie, and Beaver. It was pretty good, but with any comic book movie, they got some things wrong. Specifically Juggernaut. (He's not a friggin' mutant!) But hey, I guess the whole Cyttorak thing would have been too complicated to go into at this point in the series? I don't know; what I DO know is that my man Corey will not be pleased. At least he completely owned and punked Logan, which is only right and proper (I like Wolvie, but he's nothing compared to Juggernaut).

@Beaver: You did the right thing by not getting yourself arrested and working that double shift instead of leaving. I know how much you wanted to come to the party; rest assured there will be others like it. DO NOT try to use this as a bargaining chip to get more time off work; you need the money, they already did you a favor by letting you transfer back up to St. Louis, and you don't want to counteract any good points you earned taking extra responsibility. DO NOT give your job an ultimatum that you will only work until 12 or a set number of hours past your schedule. Despite the best intentions, those nuggets of advice do not fit your situation and would actually stand more of a chance at negatively effecting your job, which you need for resume reference and experience in your field. IF you feel you must say something to your boss about it, be civil and don't condescend, and be cool about it. Trust me.

Anyway, work is going great. Heather is now off for the summer. The house hunt continues, albeit slowly.

There's a program called "mugen" that allows you to "create" a 2-D fighting game in the style of Capcom/Street Fighter type things. You can import custom-built sprites and characters or characters from Mortal Kombat, Marvel Superheroes, SNK, Dark Stalkers, Street Fighter, etc. etc. This, of course, will be assimilated into QUILLCADE, and if possible, Bug-Juice characters like Spawn, Neo, Quill, Beaver, and Nix (among many others) will be created and put in there. Imagine Spawn vs. Spiderman, Quill vs. Ryu, Beaver and Nix vs. Scorpion and Juggernaut...it will be awesome, if it can be done. (We've always wanted to make a 'Juice fighting game; now it looks like we might be able to after all.)
