Someone commented in the forum that the gun seems a little overlarge. Well...it is. Partially because I still can't draw guns really well, but partially because that is a very, very big gun she's using. Think Mythbusters (escape bullets by going under water ep.) or Tremors 2 (the gun that Burt used to shoot a screemer and ended up going through the engine block of a car). This gun is a little smaller than that, but only a little. It shoots a BIG, high powered bullet. It has a power pack on it--the same sort that powers an air-car--less to give the bullet more power than to run the hydrolic shock absorbers on the gun. Without them, Lucy would have broken her shoulder on the first shot. With them, she's still going to have a bruised collarbone and a very, very unhappy shoulder.

There WERE smaller guns in this warehouse. She just likes the big toys better.

I have decided I hate doing action sequences. I'm not very good at it. I am fairly content with the shading on this page.

Note to future spies--when one is attacking an enemy base from inside one of their buildings, close the door.

I"M ALIVEEEEE!!!!

I can illustrate how this last month has been with one lil ole anticedote from work. We've got a moderate amount of Muslem customers who come in every day. One of them came in for art supplies and commented that I looked tired. I said I was and she apologised. My reply? "It's not YOUR fault."

Guys, I'm a nice, sweet Christian girl. I love God, and up until recently I loved going to church (and then they dissapointed me, so I'm once again searching for a church home and wishing I could just go back to the one I moved away from). But Christmas is now the spawn of hell. There is no other way to put it. Thank you GOD I didn't actually have to BUY presents this season (Did them all early) because having to check people out was enough. I've been lucky to go home and collapse on the couch. The last two weeks were the worst. People were oughtright NASTY, and it really didn't help that I found myself doing the job of one of my co-workers because he...well, doesn't really seem to DO anything. I'm perfectly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt...but somehow when he's NOT there we get more done than when he IS there.

Well, at least my hours were shaved and my sanity is nearly intact. My buffer however, is gone. Tuesdays page exists, it's loaded and ready...but that's it. Hopefully with my hours person-friendly again, I can fix that.

Oh, and belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hopefully we all made it home OK. And...gag...Happy Holidays to you non-Christians. The gag is because I HATE "Happy Holidays". I'd rather wish you whatever it was you celebrated...but obviously, I'm not exactly proficiant in other holidays. Haunnaka (yes. I know. I know. Don't shoot the heathen) Yule, um...Kwanza...and...uh...yeah. So Happy (Insert Correctly Spelled Holiday Here, and sorry I don't know what it was) and lets try to make this year better than last.

God knows that won't be too hard to do.

HOLY CRAP! Just checked the website to see if the newspost updated correctly and...EIGHTY FIVE???? You guys made me EIGHTY FIVE on TWC??? It's the first of the month, I know...but...but...I'm in the top one hundred? WOW.

This deserves somethin' special. Let's see if I've got anything in the good ole' bag of tricks I haven't used yet.
