Let me guess... the other company has some or all of it's labor taking place overseas?

No, not that crappy. Probably like $12 an hour, not 12 cents.
I've procrastinated. I should get serious about getting out of here, before here gets serious about me getting out. While the choice is mine to make.

I've somewhat returned. Got a few things going on in life that holds me off from being here as often as I like to. Had fun at the convention and got to meet the actor who plays Q from Star Trek TNG. I was surprisingly chill for it and also met the Voice Actor for Goku from the original dub of DBZ. I was part of a Rifftrax like panel and found out my creative writing has a bit of a fanbase going for it. I also witnessed a wedding proposal at the convention (The girl proposed and he said yes). Other than that I've been working on an article though my summer one probably won't be finished so I'm doing something a bit.... spooky. With my birthday coming up I'm planning on getting a good mic to start a possible retro podcast of my own.

Wow! First you met the voice for Piccolo and now the voice for Goku! Awesome things are happening to you!

He was surprised that I brought Dragonballs for him to sign though I bought them at the con. I had to pay 20 bucks for his and his daughter's (Voice of Sweetie Belle in the new mlp) autograph. He signed the card for free since he saw it.

All great stuff TDitH. Good to see you back on the forum. If you ever get that podcast thing going, let me know. I'd like to hear it.

I'll try to. Just need to have one or two more hosts and a plan.

Today I thought there was possibly a manhunt going on around my house. A black copter was flying around my house, making probably 10 to 15 circles around the place before moving on. This would normally not phase me, as we often have choppers looking for marijuana doing that. But as I left I saw a Sheriff's vehicle with it's lights on parked at my neighbor's house, speaking to someone in a vehicle I did not recognize. Thankfully it was just what I suspected, marijuana spotting. Phew!

I ate at a chinese restaurant that looked like it hadn't been updated since the 80s, bought some PS2 games, and saw an awesome journal (see below). Not a bad way to spend a day off.

No not bad at all. And yes, they love flying around looking for Meigs County Gold.
