Ah, it's great for it to be Thursday... speaking of which (but
not really), the Top Web Comics site is back up, so vote
for Carzorthade! Also, don't forget to vote
on Buzzcomix! Remember, the more votes, the more Carzorthade moves
up the list... I've been dropping ranks for a few weeks now, and
it's up to you guys to help me get back up there. If I can stay
under rank 50 up to Halloween, I'll release a special Halloween
Wallpaper for your computers! So, vote me up there, and if we keep
the position, you'll have a new Halloween Wallpaper on October 31st!
OooOooOOooooo...
(that was a ghost sound)
Also, if you click on the words "vacuum tube" in Tuesday's
comic, you'll see something cool, I swear. What, you didn't think
the comic took so long to load because of nothing? You know, I do
put easter eggs in my comics...

Hey, sorry I couldn't make a post... and sorry I didn't have a
new votingreward
waiting for you. This time, I do, so please, vote,
and see Slate in his car.
The University of Central Florida, the university I'm applying
to, called me this afternoon, telling me that they've received my
application and SATs, and I told them that I'm going to send them
an updated SAT version as soon as it's scored, as well as two college
essays, to help put me ahead of the curve.
You see, my GPA isn't nearly as high as I want it to be... but
my SAT scores are relatively good, so I want to use the essays as
a means to separate myself from the other hordes of people applying,
because I really want to get in.
College scares me, no doubt about that... but many new things do.

No new voting reward thingy either, I'll scan it in tonight.

Sorry for the late update, it took longer
than I thought it would take to make the costumes, but, more than
that, to do the angles for this strip. It was fun, actually, to get
that "tiny little kid" perspective just right. I hope you
guys can forgive me. In any case, here's the comic, and I hope you
guys like it.
Yesterday, I attended a "Sci Fi Film Festival", hosted
by the Sci Fi Club at my school, and I can honestly say it wasn't
that bad. It was fun, really. We ordered pizza, had a cooler full
of drinks, and watched "Empire Strikes Back" followed
by "Independence Day", movies which I haven't seen in
a long time, and had forgotten just how good they were. Man,
I had a blast watching Star Wars, and the aerial battles (in both
movies, actually) gave my shivers. The good shivers.
So those guys aren't too bad... I mean, I'm in the club already,
and it's a nice group of people to hang out with. It's not like
we spend our days arguing over the logistics of the Enterprise,
that's for sure... well, not all of us.

Before I say anything else, go visit Dementia
of Magic. Right now. This guy is awesome, and his strip is great.
"It's a plot driven tale of magic in a medieval setting"...
c'mon, how cool is that? Best part is, this guy's never played D&D
or has read Tolkien, so it's his own world. Seriously, it's really
good.
In other news, hmm... what's going on? Oh yeah, I just found out
that a concert I'm playing in (Orchestra Concert... I wish
I was in a band...) is taking place next month, as opposed to two
months from now. Meaning, I have to start practicing. Darn! I was
hoping to put it off until later...
I'll tell you more about it in later posts, since... well, heck...
even I don't know too much about it.

Post SATs traumatic stress

Heh, after finishing the SATs, I was lulled into a false sense
of accomplishment and completeness, as it turned out I had a lot
of assignments due today, so that mean I had to do a lot, and I
mean a lot of homeowrk last night. So that means I couldn't
make a comic until this afternoon as soon as I had the slightest
bit of free time.
Not having an idea for the strip didn't help either.
But I did eventually, and that's that.
Also, I guess when it comes to adding voting stuff, I only do it
when I've uploaded the newest comic. If anyone voted by habit to
get to the rewards and was greeted by something they've already
seen, I'm sorry.
[more attempts at drawing carzorthade if you vote]
Late-date

Here's the comic, sorry it's so late... my computer's acting kinda
buggy for some reason.
Oh my GOD, I'm so happy I'm done with SATs! I thought I was going
to explode, I was so worried... but I studied for them (not as much
as I should have, but it was adequate), and it seemed to have paid
off.
In taking the SATs for a second time, I was hoping to raise my
Math by about 100 points, which I think I either did, or came close
to. For some reason, I think the test I got was easier than the
last one, and I'm not sure as to whether or not it was the studying
that made it seem that way.
Now that's done, all that's left for me is to submit my college
essays, and then create a portfolio for the Film department of the
college I'm applying to. Guess what's going in the 'folio? That's
right, you guessed it: this comic. I'm going to pick out a few...
actually, you know what? You pick 'em out.
Which comics are your favorites? I'm looking for the five best
(in your opinion). This portfolio has to be jam packed with the
best stuff I've ever created, so I'm also going to dig into my Creative
Vault, and pull out some old movies and such.
But in the meantime, e-mail
me the best of Carzorthade.
In other news, the new and improved (and formerly known as Montana
Hills) Ripeville
has arrived!
SATs...

... just kidding. Here's a new comic for ya!
As for the Voting Rewards, I'm going to put another one up before
tonight ends.
Ugh, I'm all disoriented. Heh...

Ah, hell, I'm sorry guys... I can't make a comic until after the
SATs (on Saturday). But once I finish, you can guarantee I'm gonna
get back on my horse, and you can expect (hopefully), a whole new
Bios page, more Buddy Icons, and three new comics.
