hello, all. Here is another update on the life of moi.
   I have recently joined an art web group, deviantart.com, and i am currently posting various works of mine there. to see my desktops, go to s1dc.deviantart.com. The site is busy sometimes, so keep trying if you get a page cannot be displayed error. 
 My current obsession is Virtua Fighter 4, and training my AI fighter. for those of you who have played the game, my AI fighter uses the Lei char model, and is at a rank of 1st Dan, 61% win rate. My own character is also a Lei, 1st dan, with a slightly higher win rate of 65%. 
 I nearly got fired the other day, my supervisor says i don't work hard enough; i say, get off your lazy butt and do something besides pretend to be making orders. WE KNOW YOU JUST SIT THERE, DAMNIT. So, i have 30 days starting wednesday to "straighten up" or i kick the can. My co-worker Joel says "...she won't fire you. This place can't afford to fire anyone unless the commit a criminal offense." Lets hope he is right.

 This has red CCN Lights, mine will have blue. The speakers are similar to the ones i am getting, same monitor as mine. This set up costs $2,900. Mine is excessively powerful, to say the least. 
 I will be getting it in sept. of this year.
