"Carpe Diem" or "How I Got the Nintendo Wii"

I lived through four game generations (technically five, but I was too young to enjoy the 8-bit era), and I've never seen a console so difficult to get than the Nintendo Wii.
I pretty much gave up efforts in purchasing it, until I was at the local Radio Shack. Just for fun I asked the clerk if they have any and when they'd get a new shipment. And unlike most retailers, he told me what day. Interesting thing about my Radio Shack is that they don't sell out within an hour when they get a shipment like Wal-Mart or Gamestop.
So on Tuesday, I dropped on by to check and they had one left, since I didn't have any money, they actually held it for me (another surprise), so I could get it the next day.

Apparently, Radio Shack doesn't advertise when they have a new Wii (by not putting it on store shelves), and that's how they don't sell out so quickly.

So if you have trouble getting one, you now know where to look.

Now all I need now are some good one player games.

Thank you kindly Dudley.

I'm working on the script, and have some fresh ideas.

And I'm working on a fancomic.

We just recieved a phone call from Tony the Yodelling Shetland Pony. I'm afraid he can't make it tonight because he's a little hoarse.

I know I hate it too. I don't even like anime that much anyway.

i have a bunch of sequential art girls in my class and if ANYONE mentions ANYTHING pertaining to anime or manga they start squealing and talking really loudly. they just end up sounding like a bunch of hens :dohtwo:

To tell you the truth, they scare me too.
There's so many sequential artists that are better than me. It'll take forever for me to get as good as they are.

wow, 3 weeks. and longer if you get a job :O_o:

thanks for the encouragement. i certainly need it. particularly since i'm very different from the majority of the girls i've met who are also sequential art majors. they scare the crap outta me. :sprint:

yeah, she had no idea I got that shot :P
~Doodley:iconDoodley: May 16, 2008, 6:53:23 PM
I can't tell really tell people what she's doing, but I'll tell you I'm gonna be stuck there for 3 weeks. I'll stay longer if I get a job there.

Don't worry SammieGlow, if you work hard and practice, you'll do great!

Holy crap, Africa?! That's so far away. Do you mind what she's doing in Africa since she's stationed there? (you don't have to answer if you don't want to). How long are you supposed to be visiting her? :petting:

I understand what you mean about improving your drawing skills this summer; I'm a sequential arts major, and I have the constant drive to be improving my skills. I tried to take art classes all through high school but my stupid counselor always took me out of them, so my first time taking a studio class was last year in college. I still don't fully understand how I managed to get into this school with a scholarship, but I'm still grateful. But because of that fact I'm somewhat behind on all of the techniques etc. that come with sequential art. I'm also pretty shy about my art which is why coming back to DA is a big step for me.

I'm not really looking forward to summer vacation. My mom is stationed in Africa and I have to visit her.
I'm hoping to get better at drawing during the summer, though. Everyone thinks trying to get a job using my art skills is unrealistic.

I live in Room 238 btw.
