Something Advent-urous.

I've done an Xmas card every year since 2005. The same Xmas card I send to friends for the year's Xmas (except more personalised for my own use). This year, I'm planning something different. I've noticed I've slacked out of drawing Hopeless Optimism (*insert excuse here*), so I'll make it up. Starting December 1st, I'm doing up an Advent Calendar. The Hopeless Optimism Advent Calendar. 25 days of new holiday-type themed strips consecutively, with the Strip on December 25th to be some sort of a card. I'm throwing things into this idea, so I hope I can do it all. Fun Time!

In other news, Cartoon Network served up the Powerpuff Girls 10th Anniversary Episode Special. This episode is, surprisingly, not shown in the States yet because they're showing it on the 20th of January together with the release of the All-episode DVD Box set. This entire episode is done in Flash and the Girls do look better in Flash. The episode's kinda cool. The animation? Wow.

Random thought #29F06
I'd still say, from the first time I listened to Madonna (and Justin)'s 4 Minutes, that it'll be my desert island music, hands down. I'll never get sick of it. iTunes records 41 plays and that's just on my Mac alone.
Oh, and I changed the hOP strip navigator from a flash one to a simple drop-down menu. So it works swell on my iPhone and other non-flash browsers.

0831hrs:Yeo's Residence. Undisclosed Location.
They said delivery starts at 0701hrs. They just so damn efficient. Doorbell rang at 8.30 this morning. It had to ring again before I could wake up, remember why the doorbell would be ringing, and then realise the urgency of answering the door before throwing myself off the bed and went to answer it (No one else was home or half-awake during that time).

The delivery guy apologised (as did I) and handed over my pre-ordered, hand-delivered copy of Potter 7, a.k.a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which came in a nice collector's box. I would have started on to read it but, a) I was really sluggish-tired and b) I could wait a while more to lug myself through 6XX pages.

Woke up officially at 0924hrs to watch crazy fans all over the world cheering over their copy of the book on the news. Meh. I didn't see the point of waiting in line at 0701 in the morning. I should be reading the book soon, but I won't reveal anything about it. I'll just let everyone else do it.

Day6467
Folks, I went through and redid Hopeless Optimism #12.

Updated #12, left. Previous #12, right.
I did the previous one, but Dan didn't get it. Many of you Folks probably didn't get it either.
Perhaps even some of No Doubt's fans didn't get it at all.
It was for the best. Enjoy.

Day6466

Yes! It's Dan's Birthday! He's Reality 18! But He's still 17 in the Strip!
Don't confuse reality with Virtuality!

I really wanted to put "Hell" instead of "Heck", but whatever.
Happy Birthday, Dan!

iTuned: Updating iPod. Do Not Disconnect.

Yes, a Merry Blessed Christmas To All!
Today marks another personal Milestone. I now Hold an iPod.

Behold. I have thus stuffed all 699 songs (miserable, I know) and a couple of Videos in it. My Word, the screen is sharp as a knife. Videos are totally crisp. I simply Love it. Thanks, Guys.

Once again, Have a Merry Christmas!

I got a few drawn out now all ready for the days ahead. Till Then!

Labels: hOP

Remember the new thing I was planning? I got a title for it and it's done!
The hardest part was probably doing the hair. I suck at drawing hair. Names? Well. although it ain't stated yet, it's on my .psd file over the layers. I'm naming the Asian-looking guy, Daniel, after a great friend of mine (No, he no dead yet.). The Other guy is J.D., as in JuDacris. Yup. I'm somewhat gonna be in this strip. I'm planning this to go on a Weekly basis, as soon as I'm on vacation.
"Hopeless Optimism" was actually the best I could come up with. I was gonna go with "Accidentally on Purpose", but nah. Enjoy!
