In Which I Had An Anniversary

So July 1st was my 6 month blogging anniversary. Crazy how time flies, right?

I'm pleased that I was able to stick with it this far. It's certainly one of my more successful New Year's Resolutions.

In celebration you'll have noticed that I changed my blog template. I can't promise that this one will stay, but I do think I'm done with the other one. Not that I didn't like it. I loved it quite a bit, but so did, apparently, quite a few other bloggers and I felt like a change. I'm also planning on changing the title of the blog at some point in the future. I just need to do some research about that.

So far now we have this new template. I'll give it a week or so to see how I acclimate to it.

Also, I apologize for not having a Friday Fun Words post. I actually completely forgot about writing a post. I think it was due to the day job being super busy and then we went out to dinner on Thursday for a friend's B-day and it just never occurred to me that I hadn't written one.
My bad. If it makes you feel any better, Yvie pulled my hair really hard when we were wrestling.


Finally, Hole Ridden is officially out on submission. I made one more big change and ditched the scene Gary suggested. Coincidentally it didn't actually cut down the word count at all, so it's still 2600 words, but I think it reads much more smoothly. And by cutting that scene and working in the stuff I needed elsewhere I think I also successfully got rid of the "walking on the cliche line" issue. So cross your fingers for it.

Anyway, here's a fun comic and LOLCat for you to enjoy!

In Which I Read Web Comics

Do you read webcomics?
I do. A few anyway. I used to read a lot more but reading blogs took over that free time.
But I still keep up with a few of my favorites.

A few of them update every day but I like to save them all up and then spend and hour or so reading months worth of comics. It's awesome.

One of my favorites is Questionable Content.

Per the page "Questionable Content (or "QC," as it is frequently abbreviated) is an online comic strip that is ostensibly about romance, indie rock, little robots, and the problems people have."

It has an ongoing storyline which is great for long time readers, but the individual comics are typically stand alone.

One of my other all time fav web comics is Girl Genius. Its tagline is "Adventure, Romance, MAD SCIENCE!" And if you like steampunk even a little (or want to explore steampunk a bit) I HIGHLY recommend this comic.

Unlike Questionable Content this one is pretty much a straight storyline, so you would have to start from the beginning. But the art is awesome.

Twin, Brother and I also enjoy reading VG Cats, which stands for video game cats. Since this one tailors specifically to gamers it's really only funny if you play a lot of games. It's not updated very frequently but when it is, it's usually hilarious.




Finally, the last one I read on a regular basis is XKCD.
There's nothing like a comic about romance, sarcasm, math and language that's done with stick figures.



Do you read any webcomics? If so, any you would recommend?
