Cythusly’s weblog

I’ve been really busy with the startling realization that my & my friends Halloween costumes might not be finished in time and haven’t really been thinking about writing or posting. So while I’m doing work on our costumes and shit I’ll probably be posting progress journals and pictures - so stay tuned for that. I am still trying to get in touch with my friend that is supposed to do some artwork for the site and I’ve got to remember all my passwords and shit so I can backup this thing on a regular basis and then finally upgrade to WordPress 2.6.

Hopefully a larger update later, I’ll try and have something to say or review (I won’t be doing a Dark Knight review because that movie apparently can do no wrong. Actually I can think of one thing but it’s so whatever-y that it’s not even worth mentioning.)

I’m working on a new layout for the blog right now but it’s still a couple weeks away. I’m trying to get one of my friends to do some artwork but she’s really busy working on stuff for TokyoPop and hasn’t been able to do commissions much less artwork for me.

I need to buy a binder or pad of paper so I can just jot down ideas I have for the blog as I have them. I know about 2, maybe 3 people read this (all my friends, and I love you for that) so I’m not so much doing this for attention as I am just to get thoughts and ideas (and reviews, yes, seems gimicky - but it’s just a way for me to think about things and put them into a little more formal presentation than my normally stream of consciousness first draft posts) down for posterity’s sake.

Last Monday I started a summer English class so I’ll be working on writing for that a lot and probably won’t have the energy or time to write much here for the next 5 weeks. Hopefully I’ll improve my writing skills while I’m in this class. Unfortunately I have a few reviews I want to write that I probably won’t get to, but there’s a good chance I can at least start them and will have something to post a few days after my classes end.

Other unfortunates: I’m almost 100% that I won’t be going to Comic Con this year, which is a bummer - I was really looking forward to meeting R.K. Milholland, Jennie Breeden, and Felicia Day (with the rest of The Guild)

Even more unfortunates: one of my a-hole friends decided he’d be just that and give me a copy of WoW two days before I started my class. Well, I’m not addicted, but I can see it being a horrible timesink which is not good with the start of my English class. Bugger.

There was a post on “Ain’t It Cool” news with a picture of the original Minutemen (like in the comic) in a 1940 lineup - check it out. Man, that is badass! I do have very high hopes for this movie, and I hope that I’m not let down by it. I know they’re leaving out one plot-thread (the pirate comic, for those who’ve read it) and that doesn’t so much bother me because it just added commentary to what was happening in the main comic. Hopefully they’ll film those parts and release it in something like fear.net did with the “30 Days of Night: Blood Trails” shorts.

Since my class ends today I will have time to tool around with this site over the next couple of weeks. I wanted to post here a few things I’m hoping to implement so I don’t forget and so people know that I’m actually doing things while I’m not posting (I also have a Twitter feed that gets updates frequently to let people know what I’m up to as well. Gotta love microblogging.)

More after the jump.

So in an attempt to be regular with keeping this blog up to date while maintaining the “quality” post I would like to strive to achieve I am trying something other than Scribefire. It was a decent plugin for Firefox, and it worked very well for what I was using it for - but I could not keep my blogs organized when I was offline (like in class, for instance) which is really horrible for me because I am very horrible at staying organized in the first place.

God, will I ever get to tweaking more of this theme than I already have? I thought it was going to be great, but the way it’s displaying images is pissing me off!

edit: stupid logo won’t edit properly so it’s almost unreadable… blarg

Even more tests

Well, I figured I’d attempt a site since it’s been probably 7 or 8 years since I’ve done any work online for myself. And what work I’ve done for other people, let’s just face it, has been poo.

So, here I am. I plan on using the default blog skin for a while until I get some graphics that I’m wanting to use done.

Thanks for checking this site out, and if you have any comments please leave them or email me at: tyler (at) cythusly (dot) com
