Devastating the Obvious: November 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Ok, so it's been a long while since I posted anything. A loooong while. It's not like I've had a lack of things to talk about - from the interesting turn of events at this month's Inheritace game, to the fun times at E's bachelorette, the beginnings of the Pirates and Serenity games, or how Layne defended his thesis and is now a Master of Science! I am a firm believer that "Science! I have a webcomic. I bring you all. Weregeek.com! Posted by Alina at 6:10 PM. I spent this past...

Devastating the Obvious: December 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 21, 2006. Presents are bought, the house is cleaned, and we're braved the roads between Saskatoon and Regina. (Lots of deer, not as much black ice as I'd been led to believe.) Christmas holidays can now officially begin. I'm down at Layne's folks house today. My family is still working and/or at school (the poor fools! Apparently, my mom spread the URL for my comic around at her office, so there's now a bunch of profs with color prints of my comic up on their doors on campus. Wierd.

Devastating the Obvious: July 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 31, 2006. Speech. After having given it nearly every game, I've really got it down pat. I can explain embodiment, historical details, and how to choose a conviction in ten minutes or less. Now that's good ol' Deistical efficiency for you. Posted by Alina at 4:57 PM. Friday, July 21, 2006. WHY didn't you take two minutes to clean the dirt off of the puppet's face? Now it will take me hours to go through and paint it all out! Steak dinner and drinks at an arcade?

Devastating the Obvious: March 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Posted by Alina at 12:21 PM. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Of course, by posting this, I'm going to jinx it. Today is the first day this winter that I ventured outside in only a t-shirt. In my books, that means spring is officially here! Some years, spring doesn't arrive until June, but then again, I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold.). Posted by Alina at 3:32 PM. Monday, March 27, 2006. KC: Squishy Angel Goodness! Not gotten mad, mind you, but literally exploded. Poof! And if she ...

Devastating the Obvious: April 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 26, 2006. I will sit all the animators down and make them watch how it takes me two hours to fix something that ten minutes work on their end would have solved. Not that I'm complaining. It's still a kick-ass job. But, enough about work! Posted by Alina at 10:32 AM. Thursday, April 20, 2006. On an entirely different note: If you ever needed an ironic theme-song for your zombie game, Jonathan Coulton. Has the anthem for you. Re: Your Brain. Posted by Alina at 3:23 PM. Everyone I talked to...

Devastating the Obvious: June 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 29, 2006. My Ifrit Costume - Keeping careful vigil, or poised to pounce? Harry Potter was quite delightful. There were a few kids there, and it was so much fun to watch how much enthusiasm they had for the game. The set dressing was even better than I had imagined (I really love the little magic store they set up in the other room), and there were some great costumes overall. I threw my costume. I don't know how scary the finale was, but when I emerged as the monster. The costumes were equ...

Devastating the Obvious: May 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Because I spend the majority of the day at my computer working with shots, it's easy to forget that I'm working in the film business. Sure, I have to walk past the sets on my way to the lunch room, and I have to run all my work by the directors before they get sent off to editing, but I'm not involved in the filming process much. (Hence the term, post-production.). I have a film shoot tomorrow. I feel all professional and stuff. ;). Posted by Alina at 10:26 PM. This weekend's KC ...

Devastating the Obvious: October 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 23, 2006. I got to hold a Gemini award today. They're much lighter than they look on T.V., but just as shiny. There's No "I" in Hockey". So, if the pilot is winning awards, I'm excited to see where this season will go. Posted by Alina at 2:53 PM. Saturday, October 21, 2006. 67 hours this week and still counting. Posted by Alina at 8:31 AM. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. This is Hazel, my new hedgehog. She's an 8 week old brown algerian snowflake. Isn't she a sweetie? Even when I brought her h...

Devastating the Obvious: August 2006
http://devastatingtheobvious.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 30, 2006. To say that things are a little hectic at work is an understatement of the magnitude of saying that there's only a couple of frames in a minute of footage. They've kept pulling me off of 'priority' shots to put me onto other 'priority' shots for over a month now, leaving me in a situation where I've got but a single month to complete three ENTIRE episodes. Posted by Alina at 12:33 PM. Thursday, August 17, 2006. German pavilion: Bratwurst and sauerkraut? It's pig on a bun!

Random thoughts from a random girl: Alina vs. God of War
http://randomalina.blogspot.com/2008/01/alina-vs-god-of-war.html
Random thoughts from a random girl. Friday, January 18, 2008. Alina vs. God of War. I got God of War! Time to play it! Alina: Oooooh, hydra! Stop shooting my box! Layne: They're shooting your what now? Often, over the next few days). Alina: You want me to do what now? Oh, fuckin' hell. I'm going to check the walkthrough. It can't be THAT stupid. It -IS- that stupid. Ressing fressing. Stupid, stupid timed platform jumping. Somewhere in Pandora's Temple). Alina: No, seriously. Look. They're flamey! Reminds...
