If only I worked at the Tim Hortons in Oz...

Customers would be much quieter. Every coffee cup is a weapon XD
This comic was inspired from a really screwed up lady that had the rotten luck of being in line behind a really indicesive lady who placed an order comparable to Lina's. She was obviously pissed about waiting so long, but then again, what was I to do? You can't really press a client into choosing. All you can do is make it fast when they do decide.

Thank god only one customer out of ten is a jackass and most of the time you don't notice.

Oh, and on an unrelated note: I'm alive!

I know it's been like...forever (or ten days) since I updated but things have been *slightly* crazy on this side with midterms and stuff. I actually drew a lot, just never took the time to scan it. 

I can't believe school is over in a month in a half. AAACK! I have nothing done. My stupid intership hasen't been confirmed yet, because my program leader is a ghost. It's kinda frustrating considering I payed and am waiting to confirm me inscription to a summer session so I can get this stupid intership done when the freaking program manager seems to have POOFED OUT OF FUCKING THIN AIR!

Rawr.

I need to get my confirmation out this week or I can forget about the stupid intership, which would suck consedering i've been planning this since october and well, it's mandatory. *sigh* I hate administrative paperwork, I hate administrative paperwork, I hate administrative paperwork oh god i'm actually going to work in the domain aren't I?

Rawr again.

In a more positive view, i've been in a totally Oz mood lately, lisening to the Wicked soundtrack over and over. Elphaba and Glinda are the coolest.



I also finally saw Rent with my friend Tama...Heh, I dunno. I understood the story since it was about important artistic events in the new york 80's and about bohemians but I found the story was hard to follow without any actual dialogue...It's just song over song. It feels like a part of the movie as been cutout or something. The songs were pretty though, especially "Seasons of love" And the character of Angel was my ultimate favorite.

I decided to rent the V for Vendetta later on. I saw the beginning of that movie twice and never finished it. I ended up getting fed up of it and rented it.


V is my god. He is an awesome character. I love how he talks! Though I admit I had to put in the subtitles to understand all of it well (he talks fast with big words. I get confused). I love his introduction speech all in "v's" I watched that part three times XD. I can't believe it took me forever to see this film. I adore it! I like the movie much better then the comic book. I think it's because the comic book is older. The movie touches more actual problems like bacterialogical warfare and the power of mass communication systems. The movie feels so much closer to us, so much more real. I also like that V is less of an anarchist in the movie and more of a poet. The comic is heavy on the anarchy. The movie doesn't seem to condemn or put on a pedestal either anarchy or facism. It does instead a reflexion about freedom, fear and the power of numbers and unity.

The scene where everyone appeared dressed like V was one of my favorites. I also have a little weakness for V in his cooking apron. So cute. ^ ^

Oh, as a final note, for those who wonder, the winning banner was number 5, aka wind banner. The number one (aka panel cluster banner) followed closely behind, but 5 won with 3 votes extra. I'll most likely still draw and color both, and maybe change once in a while XD Or use one as a link banner.

Okay, that's all for me tonight. 
Take care guys!

Oooh, I saw Rent six years ago and was surprised by how much I liked it. I even saw it in New York City!!!

As a former fast food worker, let me just say that I completely sympathize with you and that your comics absolutely ROCKS.

I'll be writing you back in a little bit, I got caught up in work-type stuff when I first got here. I was hoping that you'd be updating today!

I used to work at MacDonald's, so I feel your pain. I think your comic represents what every fast food workers wishes to do at some points. XD

I love the Wicked soundtrack (I've been getting my friend hooked on it too) and I've heard that there's going to be a movie version coming out sometime in 2008. ^_____^

And yes, I agree with you that paperwork is a pain!

Rent is good, however, it doesn't take place in the 80s. It takes place in 1996.(I've seen it five times.) And what the movie did to it was unforgiveable. There's not nearly that much dialouge-it's a rock opera, you have to follow the songs. The storyline is a bit confusing, but after you see it a couple times it makes much more sense.(And you must remember, the play came before the movie.)

If only those coffee fanatics (who get irate when you are .02 seconds too slow for them) realized what a dangerous weapon we wield... I'm thinking you need to make a nice big banner of that comic and post it at work. Warning: Employees bear burning liquid death! Scold at your own risk!

Or maybe keep it simple: "Scold and be scalded".

I never saw Rent, but everyone I talk to school here didn't like it. (Something about loose morals, or some such thing.) :P

Which is why I thank my lucky stars I never worked in fast food...

I still need to get off my butt and rent V sometime...
