I've decided to comic my life. General feelings?

Pokémon! And ExCos! Specifically, ExCos about Pokémon!

This title serves as a cheesy joke using Java code to talk about my schedule this semester, which happens to involve a lot of computer work. Yes, I know I'm nerdy.

Almost official.

...just not when they're made out of clay. Have I mentioned that I'm spending my Winter Term making a claymation movie? Oh yeah, I have. Multiple times. Well, here it is.

In between breaks of being consumed by clay fruits, Karl looks for excitement to break the monotony.

This blog's purpose: to motivate Karl off of this computer chair and start working on his Winter Term project.
