Monday Comic

And the drama continues!

Also, I am exhausted from driving all over hell and back yesterday to look at houses.

Friday Comic

Here's the second comic in the story. Georgie's a lush. Who knew?

Health Care Stuff

I've been following the health care debate pretty closely the last few months. It's pretty disgusting all the way around but this video from MSNBC sums up the latest, most disgusting, turn of events well and with some much needed black humor.

Wednesday comic!

So we had a 5 or 6 comic backlog built up but then it got really hot and Angela couldn't draw more and now we are back to only having one comic in reserve.

This is a little story. It's maybe 4 or 5 comics long. Turns out that Georgie is more than a bit wall-eyed. I love the way that Angela draws Georgie. The inside lip line is the window to Georgies soul.

We went looking at houses last night. Saw a few cool ones up by Bellingham. And a few trashy ones as well. One of them was brand new. It was really nice inside although the floor plan felt like a studio apartment with a few extra room tacked on to it. The view out the front window was pure Deliverance though. As we got out of the car, one of the neighbors was yelling at the top of his lungs to his wife "Bring me a beer!"

Now, look at Georgies expression in the second panel and imagine that expression on my face when I say "It was awesome."

Oh, and then there's this. Which I cannot embed in the post no matter what I try.

Hot = Sweat

And that much sweat = no more brain left. I was so hot, I forgot to post. Stupid weather.

I don't have much to day. I have knit one and a half shrugs. I am working on a black one right now and a week ago I finished knitting a green one. All based on Stefanie Japel's One Skein Shrug. I looked through my lace book and added some lace patterns to it. For the fun of it. I have made a couple plain ones already. I think that makes 5 shrugs I have made, though some have certainly come out better than others.

In the mean time, since it has not been hot, I have had a headache off and on for 5 or 6 days. Nearly debilitating. By the end of work on Friday I was nearly cross eyed with this headache. It is right in my eyebrows.

Anyways, it was so hot, I couldn't draw without ruining the paper with my sweaty sweaty hands. But I got started again last night. I am almost out of tracing paper, so we will probably go get more tomorrow. One comic is now taking one piece of computer paper and two pieces of tracing paper, but I think they will be better in the end. Comics like Eerie Cuties give me a complex (because they look so awesome), but then I go read Goats and all is okay in the world again.

I also finally finished The Golden Compass. I really enjoyed it. A nice simple book that doesn't take too much brain power to read (teen fiction) and has interesting characters and an interesting story. I had started the sequel, The Subtle Knife. I am not yet as interested in it as in the previous book, but I am waiting to see how it ties it all in. It is getting more interesting as I read. Then I will read the final book in the trilogy, The Amber Spyglass. Then I don't know. Probably the sequel to Wizard's First Rule, Stone of Tears.

Abe is reinstalling Ubuntu on my computer today. The only thing I don't like about having Linux on my computer is I have no idea how to troubleshoot or install anything. I can get around ok in Windows because I have used it for so long now (what with school and all my jobs using Windows--UW had Macs, but the software for most of my classes used Windows).

Finally, my mom thought Abe was so hilarious when he described my sarcasm that she sent it to her sister and Jim. (Lol. I made that site for a college project. In Word. Check out the source code on that bad boy, but have a big bucket nearby. I would remake it but I think a new website was going to be a gift from mom to Jim a while ago, so that might not even be his current site anymore.)

Twofer!!

I took a few pictures of the jerks this afternoon. Thought I'd share with you. First two are Ernie telling me he doesn't like having his picture taken.

The next two are Nisa being her usual self. She was just chillin' on the back of the couch for like 2 hours this afternoon.

Happy monday

Here's one of Angelas drawings. "Jawless Wonder" she calls it.

I'm on a huge Will Eisner kick lately. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about comics and he's pretty much the master.
