I love...

Johnny Wander.
It's a webcomic that has already made a few appearances on this here blog. It's a lovely slice-of-life style comic that is so random yet relatable. The main cast is a bunch of friends fresh out of university who are living together. The comic is the random things that have happened to them.
I have to say that my favorite character is John and his Johnisms. I feel like I'm probably the most like him. Personality-wise that is. I certainly don't tower over anyone.


I also love the t-shirts they have in the store. I seriously want either the PaleontoLOLogy shirt or tote bag.

Plus, I can't get over Conrad's shutter shades. So. Much. Win.

Anyways, you should totally go and read their comic. And perhaps purchase a rockin' tee.

Oh, and just so you know, I scoured through my archive and added tags to my posts. If you think I should add a different tag, or forgot one, feel free to let me know in the comments or at echan1545(at)gmail(dot)com!

Back to school!

So, this upcoming week is Frosh week at University, then it's back to school. My schedule is pretty killer (4 labs, ugh) but I am still pretty pumped. All the froshies are moving in and I'm all moved into my new place, so things are pretty awesome.
One thing that's not as awesome is the fact that I lack internet in my new place and will lack it until the 14th of this month. The void in my life is surprising. I didn't realize that the internet was such an integral part of my day. However, this has had a nice side effect, being that I have been spending more time with my friends and going out to experience the world. I went rock climbing, saw a movie (The Final Destination IN 3-D!) and just had fun. Oh, and the movie was fun, but silly. My friend wanted to see me scared and he just got "mildly disgusted."
Just stealing internets from campus for now.
Plus, now I have a valid excuse for not posting more often.
This comic pretty much sums it up.
Peace and love.

School's out!

YAY! I survived my first year at university. And, I'm pretty sure that I passed all of my exams. This is an excellent feeling and makes up for the anxiety and nail-biting that accompanied exams. Now, my only concerns are packing up my room to move out and using up my meal plan. The first must happen, the second is never going to happen. I have over 50 meals left and only three days to use them in. Unless I ate myself sick (highly undesirable) I wouldn't finish off my meal plan. Oh well.
Packing is kind of depressing. My walls are bare, my cupboards are empty. I recycled a ridiculous amount of paper. The fact that this year is over is finally hitting me. At the same time, though, I am totally stoked to move into a new house. I'm living with some good friends not too far from campus. I'll actually be on my own, as opposed to the semi-autonomous living I've been experiencing in residence. I'll have to cook, clean, and take care of my room. In rez, meals were cooked for me, cleaning involved vacuuming every once in a while, and anything that broke would be fixed with a quick chat with the janitor. The odd thing is, I'm looking forward to the increased responsibility. It will mean that I can survive on my own, that I'll be able to take care of myself in the future. This is a profound realization.
One thing that I hope never happens occurs in this hilarious webcomic, Johnny Wander. Written by Ananth Panagariya (also of Applegeeks) and illustrated by Yuko Ota, it is a comic about life after college, being a kid, growing up and all the people you meet and all the things that happen in that brave new world.

Or it might be about something else entirely.

Check out the ant related horror at:

This crow has nothing to do with the ant horror. I'm not sure why it's the mascot of Johnny Wander. In fact, there is no Johnny Wander in the comic. Unless John's last name is Wander...meh.
