I have some bad news to tell everyone...class began for me last Monday and it's quite hectic. I was hoping that I could manage until the third or fourth year in college before reaching a point where it's implausible to maintain a webcomic alongside school work...but apparently it has arrived sooner than I'd like.

What really ticked me off that this semester is going to be busier than usual was when my professor confirmed the 'rumor' that there's a 20-25 page lab report due every week in Physiology; last year, I thought the upperclassmen were exaggerating when they talked about their weekly 20+ page report...but apparently not. And of course, I'm also taking other classes such as Engineering Mechanics (Statics and Dynamics), Organic Chemistry, and Electricity/Magnetism Physics for Engineers. So in short, Project ROL isn't going to be a very high priority...

However, I will still try to update. I probably can't update except on Sundays because that's when I have access to a computer with Photoshop. Nevertheless, expect 2-7 updates every OTHER week. I'll try to keep it weekly, but once I get deeper into the semester, I need the leeway to take a break every once in a while.

Moving to another subject, I decided that 'Haruko' is now going to be 'Haruki'. If you're new to the site, you probably wouldn't know who 'Haruko/Haruki' is anyway so it doesn't affect you. My decision is a result of people now thinking I'm doing a fan comic of FLCL since there's a Haruko in FLCL...and her hair looks almost exactly like Yasu's (pinkish hair flowing down and out). Since I have yet to introduce Haruki's name, I'll take the chance to change it. I'd also change Yasu's name to Yasuko (the -ko expresses innocence, which I thought would be perfect for the non-God Yasu), but it's a bit late for that since I already used Yasu's name.

Also, I decided the unnamed character with the brown hair who was talking to Yasu eariler...is going to be Torio. It just works out well...I don't know how I missed seeing how perfect that character would be for my new Torio. A character with authority...part of the Resistance...already associated with Yasu...it's perfect! Unfortunately, it seems he doesn't have that peculiar accent, but that characteristic was starting to grow old to me anyway. Torio also doesn't have green hair...but I think I can do without that one.

Anyway, thanks for reading all the way down here! I'm always impressed at how many of you actually read these blurbs (especially the longer ones). It makes me feel semi-important, so thanks again!
