12/24/02 - It's the Holidays, people! Be cheerful and stuff! Now that I'm done with crackhead hours at work, I can hope to get back to some sanity. I actually have an excuse for not having a CotW, that being that I realized earlier this week that the scanner is dead! This sucks two-fold, since I also had a nice sketch of a busty elf-chick in Holiday attire that I wanted to throw up here... *grumble*. At any rate, maybe Santa will be nice and bring me a new one, or maybe I can see about fixing this one. Merry Christmas, everybody! Enjoy the Holiday Season! Coming Soon: I'm compiling a list that I'm terming Geeks vs. Fanboys, and it will be open to you, my adoring public, for additions and revisions! I hope to have that sucker up here for the next update!

12/16/02 - Argh, the humanity! OK, I'm better now... let's see, what's new? Well, we don't have a new CotW (*sob*), but we DO have the stats for Dexter Kincaid, my character for Wandering Word! Also, there's a new link in Misc. for an RPG that a friend of mine is getting published; go check out 6th World, and be amazed! Or something... 

12/10/02 - And life is sane once again! No CotW this time around, alas, but we DO have my Flash Animation from 2D Design! It's been converted to Quicktime, so you'll need that to check it out The Cave. Other than that, there's been some minor housekeeping around the place here and there, but nothing too dramatic. If nothing else, though, my semester is OVER! WHOOOOO!

12/02/02 - Two projects down, two more to go by Thursday! As you can tell, my free time has definitely been sucking a llama's ill-formed teat for the past week or so, which of course means that there's not a real update this week. I'll have to do something to make up for these recent lack of updates for you, my adoring public... that goes for both of you... I haven't gotten back the Flash project yet, since my teacher wanted to make a copy of each of them; nonetheless, I should have it back in time for the next update. Booyah!

11/25/02 - As you can probably guess by this lack of an update, the end of the semester is at hand. This means lots of final projects to take care of, which severely cuts into the free time. Also, we completed our Flash project in Drawing I, and once I get that back, I'll be throwing it up here. Enjoy your Thanksgiving, people!

11/18/02 - Psssst! Yeah, you! OK, so there isn't a new CotW this week... you can blame the new Smackdown! more than anything else for that bit of news. Not much new this week, other that making a few corrections to Cain Harlocke's profile from last week; Galen pointed out a couple of names that I screwed up on, so that's been taken care of. It doesn't seem like it, but Thanksgiving's next week... we'll be having the immediate family over here at the Zayas homestead, though I haven't gotten any word about any possible interlopers passing through. I'm expecting things to be fairly calm this week... of course the moment I say that, all matter of hell tends to break loose... stay tuned for next week's update! : )

11/11/02 - We've got a new CotW! Check out Cain Harlocke if you dare! Bwahahaha! Er, right... not much else going up this week, though. Once I get my flow going with Wandering Word, I'm going to start throwing those chapters up as well... it's going to feel good being able to write with a group again!

11/04/02 - Ah, where to begin, where to begin? I've decided to spread the love a bit, so we have only one CotW this time around; I decided to save Mr. Harlocke for next week's update. I can give you a teaser, however, that being his stats for BESM, seeing as he's my character one of our current campaigns. In the meantime, you saw his picture last week, so now go and acquaint yourself with Masquerade, the most buck wild shape-shifter ever. Enjoy!

10/29/02 - New stuff this week! HA! First and foremost, you guys almost had TWO CotW's this time around, but due to the hectic nature of this past weekend, I didn't get a chance to get the profiles done for either guy. The sketches, however ARE done, so you can rest assured that you will see both of them soon (in the meantime, here's a teaser, that being the psychotic shape-shifter Masquerade). What we do have, however, is an update in the oft neglected Friends section, where we have not one, but three new pictures! If nothing else, this should prove to you nay sayers that Heather does indeed exist, as you'll see her in two of the pictures! Go on! Check it out! CotW shall return next week!

10/22/02 - Alas and alack, but no new CoTW this time around. But I'll try and make it up to you next week, I promise! My portfolio review went well, and as you could probably tell from above, my weekend was a blast too. All in all good things are going on, and as such, I feel good too. Whoohooo! :D

10/14/02 - Well, I'm down to the last two drawings I need for my portfolio review, and one of those we're doing in class Tuesday! Bwahaha! Now, I just have to wrap up those last odds and ends, touch up on a drawing here and there, mayhaps redo another one, write a paper, and I should be good to go! Anywho, we've actually got another CoTW this time! Check out the mysterious Dream Warrior, if you so feel it. Who the hell is that, you say? Well, hit the link and find out!

10/07/02 - This week is going to be interesting. Midterms are coming up, and I've got two papers to write, several more drawings to knock out, and a portfolio review coming up next week. I'll be drawing and writing my tail off this week, that's for sure. However, we have a new CoTW for a change! Our mystery character is none other than Tara Blackwell, who has made appearances in The Traveler Chronicles, Realmwalkers, has a pic in The Gallery, and is due to be in Freelancers at some point as well. Also, you'll notice that things have been slightly reorganized in The Library, hopefully making things a bit easy to follow. Enjoy!

09/30/02 - Anime Weekend Atlanta was the absolute bomb! I guess I don't even need to mention that there really isn't an update this week... at any rate, I'm pleased with the way things went down this weekend. I had fun, spent some money (but not too much!), saw old friends, met new ones, and just had an all-around good time. We'll be doing this again next year, I can assure you!

09/23/02 - I blame work and school! There WILL be new crap around here soon, I promise! However, to give you guys a heads-up on things, here's the logo I plan on using for my review of AWA 2K2, whenever it gets written. Also, I have the next CoTW in mind; I have a pic of the lass, and enough history to actually do a profile on her. I'll give you a minor hint, that being that she's from Second Realm, but has appeared in Realmwalkers, and that you can actually find a pic of her in The Gallery... you'll see her soon enough, I promise!

09/16/02 - Maybe I should just rename CoTW to mean Character of the Whenever... I didn't get a chance to work up any more profiles, but there ARE a few new things around the joint. First off, during a moment of boredom late one evening, I compiled a list that allows you to make your own Generic B-Movie Martial Arts Flick- I think this will make more sense if you're a fan of them like myself. Also, we have a preview of the design that I plan on using for my CafePress account, that being a little Photoshop experiment with Kai, mentioned briefly last week. This week will be interesting to say the least, but I'm hoping for at least a generic sort of update.

09/09/02 - Don't you hate it when your brain wants to take an unscheduled vacation? Basically, I was trying to write up this week's CoTW (one of the faces from The Blade of Yoshima), but seeing as me and my cousin didn't really come up with much of a back story for her, it's making things a bit more difficult. At any rate, in order to satiate you, the savage hordes (yes, both of you), I managed to dig up one of my older stories that I've been meaning to post up here for a while. Previously known as The Nameless Story, I am now calling it Agenda- if all goes well, I'll be able to produce some more chapters for it. Check it out in the Miscellaneous section of The Library, if you so feel the urge. Classes are relatively sane this week, so I'm hoping to get an decent update for a change. Oh, and as a bonus, here's a sketch of Kai, the young lady that I wanted to profile this week. Enjoy!

09/02/02 - This update officially sucks, and it's all Heather's fault. I'm kidding of course (Hi Heather!), but I've been so busy running around that I haven't had a chance to do much of anything. I've got a couple of pics due in Drawing I this week, which I'm going to try and get knocked out ASAP. All in all things are going quite well, and I hope to be able to add some new stuff next week.

08/26/02 - What be new, yo? Realizing that next week's update is going to be really crappy (I'll be out and about with Heather all weekend, woohoo!), I decided to try and cram a bit more in this time. First off, we have another CoTW from the world of Junior Force, that being uber-nasty bad-ass ninja chick Alexa Mizuno, otherwise known as Moonrunner. Also realizing that I haven't added any new drawings in a while, we have a new sketch of everyone's favorite 'do-rag wearing ninja, Mani in The Gallery. As a sidenote, I now have an account with Cafepress, and so I'm doing some heavy pondering and working on a design for some Club Ninja gear. Because dammit, I want a Club Ninja shirt by AWA this year!

08/20/02 - Things have been a bit hectic around here, so we really don't have an update this week. Yes, yes, I suck hard. However, there are MANY things in the works here and there... I think the big news is that AnimationHQ will be re-launching in a few weeks, and I'm on board to not only be a columnist, but a Battle-Writer as well! Also worthy to be mentioned is that I've actually begun writing on about two different projects, so if all goes well, we'll see at least one of them up here soon.

08/12/02 - If anyone wants to donate a truckload of money to the Help Mani Pay For School fund, email me for contact information : ) On a lighter note, we have another face from Realmwalkers for CotW, that being Mei-Lynn Zhang. You know you want to read it. Go on, read it. She's wearing a pretty dress... you know you want to see it.

08/04/02 - Final Exams this week! I've got one Monday morning, and another Thursday afternoon. Nonetheless, I've still got a CotW for you all, that being Natalie's right hand man Darren Mason from Realmwalkers. Also, we have another sketch in The Gallery, this one of an anime-ish Hades and Persephone, if you're up on your Greek mythology. I might actually have some free time once my classes are done, so hopefully I can do some more stuff around here. My next project is going to be to change some of the banners around here, maybe replacing the pictures with some of my own artwork. Or I might just keep the ones we have, because, well, they're pretty. : )

07/28/02 - Final Exams are coming up. Summer Semester is heinously quick. Anywho, I imagine that most of my time will be going to studying this week, but I'll try to get a real update in. We've got a new CotW; Ms. Kisaragi brings with her an introduction to a new world, that of Kagemusha. Check it out, or I might cry.

07/22/02 - No rest for the weary, for I've got ANOTHER test this week. But for you, my adoring public (yes, both of you), I did manage a particular CoTW this time around, at the request of a friend. Come and get acquainted with another face from the Realmwalkers timeline.

07/14/02 - I like, so totally kicked those two test's butts! Well, at least I think I did... at any rate, we've got a nice sized update this week. I decided to take a break from CoTW this time around, seeing as I haven't had time to do much of anything this week, but I can assure you that it will return soon. However, what we do have is chapter one of Rahn D'um in The Library, complete with an Appendix as well! Also, we've got a few more banners in Misc., showcasing a couple of sites here and there. Hopefully things will be pretty normal this week, so I can get back to more regular updates around the joint.

07/09/02 - OK, seeing as I've got two tests this week, I am officially dead to the world... hopefully we'll get an actual update done next week. However, all of the page problems we've been experiencing have been alleviated, so all is well in the world again!

07/01/02 - Tales of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am very much alive and well, as this update shows. There seems to be a very Junior Force slant to this time around, seeing as not only is this week's CotW (Ms. Liz Morales) is a character in one of the upcoming projects, but we also have Chapter 0 of Junior Force: Legacy available now. Both can be found in The Library, as per custom. Also, the Interlude for the second chapter of Freelancers is also available. I think that's all of the good stuff. I would have gotten this update done sooner, but there were some technical issues going on with the page last night/early today. It looks as if things have been taken care of, so all is well in the world again.

06/24/02 - Aw, screw it. I'm too tired to come up with an excuse for this week's lack of an update. Actually, I do have an excuse, I'm just too lazy to explain myself. At any rate, I hope things get back to normal for next week... there's a couple of things that I want to get up here, so be looking for that interlude for Freelancers, along with a little something on the Junior Force front. So there. Leave me alone, I spent six straight hours playing Halo last night... damn you Neil, damn you and your pretty little XBox...

06/16/02 - There's a couple of new things this week... we've got another CotW by the name of Derek Cunningham in The Library, who brings with him an introduction to one of the many projects I have in the works. Also, the next part of Freelancers is done! Granted I still need to get the post- chapter interlude done, but I'm sure I can get that up sometime this week. Last, but not least, there's now a Banner section in Miscellaneous, with the first one being done by my talented friends over at AtlExperience.net. I'll be sure to get some of my own design up there sometime.

06/09/02 - Regardless of what everyone else may tell you, I do NOT suck! As promised we've got TWO CotW's this week, so just skate on over to The Library and check out profiles on the Albrook sisters, Lily and Lotus. For the observant, I snuck in a little ninja-update this week, throwing Natalie Firebrand's infamous interview with me in The Library as well. The gears in my head have been churning of late, and so I imagine that there may be a few changes here and there in the near future; I also have a few stories and sketches that I need to get up here sometime as well.

06/03/02 - OK, OK, don't hurt me! I know, I missed an update! You can blame the cute redhead that was over here this weekend :) At any rate, for next week's update I'll try and do something special for you, my fans (yes, both of you). Maybe I'll do two CotW's or something like that. Though I'm a bit concerned as to when I'll be able to get something done, seeing as my best friend Neil's birthday is this weekend, and there will be much evil afoot. Ah well... I'll figure something out!

05/26/02 - Me not think of anything witty to say. Me just say new CotW in The Library. CotW name is Lazer Man, very important guy around these parts. Please read and make Mani happy. 

05/19/02 - There's been a bit of house keeping around the joint, so you might see a few differences in format here and there. As per custom we have a new CotW in The Library, and we also have a new pic in The Gallery. A few more links have been added to Misc., including a banner for AHQ. Also, you probably noticed the Me at a Glance section above, which will give some weekly insight as to what's going on in my life. As a result, I've cleaned up a few sections in About Me as well. In the meanwhile, I've been doing some more work in Freelancers, so hopefully we'll see another installment up here soon.

05/12/02 - Calc is done, hallelujah. The new CoTW is up in The Library, and this time, it's a trio of guys from my Junior Force era writings. Also, fixed a link in my AWA 2K1 review (Apologies, Dia!). A few projects are in the works here and there, so hopefully I'll have a couple of stories and/or some more drawings on the next update. Oh, and it's Mother's Day! Go find that woman that gave birth to you and tell her that you love her! 

05/08/02 - AWA 2K1 review is up! Yeah, baby!

05/05/02 - Not much time this week, since I'll be heading to Albany in a few hours, and I haven't even packed yet! At any rate, between my sister's graduation and a Calc final, this week shall be interesting to say the very least! This week's update is just an addition to CoTW, located in The Library; we're introduced to a character from Realmwalkers that never really got her moment in the sun. The AWA 2K1 is undergoing beautification and stuff, and will be here soon! I promise!

04/21/02 - Club Ninja makes its triumphant return on a new and improved server. And what's new, you ask? Well, lots of crap! All of the old sections have been reorganized and contain some new material. Also, a new feature is located in The Gallery, that being Character of the Week. Hopefully it'll live up to its name, and actually be updated weekly.
