I already expressed my feelings on Warren Zevon...:sneaky:
That you did. That you did.
Anyways had a nice Christmas, with my one and half year old cousin getting way too spoiled (his gifts Christmas Eve where bigger than me). But I got some cool stuff like DJ Hero, a Bears Winter Jacket, a Bears Urlacher Jersey, Dragon Age Origin, Stephen King's new book (Under the Dome), Thank You For Smoking (both the novel and the movie), and my uncle got me a giant book on the life and works of Osuma Tezuka (includes a biography DVD and full color pages).
Also me, Psi, Clem, and The Cadet started a anime/manga forum called ForOtaku.com, check it out if you like that sort of thing. Also how do you like the ForOtaku.com banner I made? Snazzy huh?
In other news been a busy week. Wednesday I went and saw New Moon with my sister and mom, and I have to say it was actual a good movie. The acting and directing were leagues better in New Moon than Twilight. It gets a Guardman B-.
Huh? Something from the Twilight franchise turned out to not suck horribly?
The Detroit Lions' performance yesterday gets a Guardman Z- because they couldn't beat the Packers. And damn you Aaron Rodgers and Donald Driver for getting so many points against my fantasy football team.
What? You expected the Detroit Lizards to win a game?
Second FNM ever tommorow. 2HG with a buddy of mine. He's running UBG mill, which he says he's been testing a lot on MTGO and beats Jund and vampires. I get to use the Jund that took second in Worlds. As I play budget all the time, I can't wait to pilot that thing.
2HG Standard? What a strange-sounding format. Was this sanctioned?
Pretty good, I got most of my projects out of the way, so I only have one project left (Proformas) and then two finals (Marketing and Financial Investment). What is making me more busy is that since it is my senior year I have to actually think about my future, which is a pain. So far I sort have two choices that I am mulling over, either go to the School of The Art Institute of Chicago in their masters in Writing Literature or go into the state department and probably get stationed in Japan as an economic and business adviser. My Dad thinks I would enjoy a couple years in the state department in Japan, so I promised to look into that. Plus I am planning sometime over break to do an interview sometime over Christmas with the Dean of the Writing Literature masters and see where that goes. Plus on top of that he wants me to do interviews to see if I find a job I like at a company, especially if they have a Japanese division. He's supportive (I mean he accepted my business plan on becoming a Novelist after all), but sometimes I really wish he wasn't a plan A, B, C, D,...,Z type person.
...That was a lot longer than I thought I would write.
Wow, thanks for posting that. It's always interesting to learn more about the lives of interesting people you meet online. Good luck with whatever decision you ultimately make, and remember that your happiness and personal satisfaction are more important than what other people expect of you!

Dudeeeeeee. Sorry for getting back to you so late. Went on a road trip and didn't have internet access for quite a while. It says that you were planning on going over for an interview around Christmas. If you went already, how'd that work out for you? Glad to see you're keeping up with your schoolwork and whatnot. Keep it up! d('.'d)

And I probably write about stuff that goes on in my life the least out of most people. Stay tuned your local news is next.

Cancelled due to snow. Everything else hasn't happened yet. Now I just have to survive my last semester.
In other news I have repetitively taken first at our local standard tournaments on Tuesdays playing Jund. It is quite the list playing no less than two Grim Discovery. Try it out...
Who's excited for Worldwake? I am!

Weedmonkey does live I ended up taking a back seat on things after stepping down at 'News because life was determined to impale me on its Staff of Domination. I ended up flying up to my mother's after my uni year ended (and moved her into her new house in one day in 100 degree heat), and at the beginning of summer got offered a directorship at Magic-League, which i took. So, if i ever disappear for too long you can find me there
As for Worldwake...I'm holding out an opinion until I see the entire set. The only thing I want out of the set is something to balance the blasted metagame. Right now, I would prefer to go back to Faeries and 5cc, or hell, Affinity - if it meant a standard format that is remotely fun

Well its good that you're doing good now. Also congrats about the directorship.
I am also holding my opinion on Worldwake. I personally am wanting reprints of the same cards I always want reprinted: Mostly Tron, but I am willing to take Weathered Wayfarer or Genju of the Fields as well.
2HG Standard? What a strange-sounding format. Was this sanctioned?
To be honest, I don't know. We "drafted" sealed deck style, each team got 7 boosters. Came in third of byes. Last game was epic. Lost cos my teammate played to conservatively with his baneslayer. The other team bounced it to topdeck, tome scoured it, and then reanimated it with some black spell. It was over after that.
I was just thinking that weathered wayfarer would be great in this block... I personally wouldn't mind seeing more Tron wincons, but I suppose that would be in Rise of the Eldrazi...

So I started a new comic strip series (Book was hard to come up with new stuff for). This time it is called Van and is about a fifth grader named Van (a lot easier to draw and come up with content for). Check it out and comment if you want.
Notice of Closure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the your Members list you have only had 5 clan members posting since at least 11-28-09, and not very often at that. Rule 11 of the clan subforum states that you need at least six active members to remain a clan. Therefore in accordance to that rule and the announcement made this morning (1-19-2010) I hereby put [AEsir] on a Notice of Closure.
In two weeks, (2-3-2010), if you do not have six active members I will have no choice but to close this clan down.
Good luck.

"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"

As for the standard environment... I draft.

How was everyone's new year? Mine was good.
And I'm Ashnod's Coupon now? Look under my name.

I also thought MTGDarkness was dead
Van is a different humor style. While Book is more Dilbertesque, Van takes more from Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes. Glad you liked it though.
And Darkness is still alive and seems to have stabilized, so I don't think it will be going anywhere from now on.
