Been Super Busy.

I've been super busy at work so I just havent had time to update this lately. anyway some things occupying my time,
putting together Lucky Creature Attacks #2, Mailing out HisWorld/Herworlds, playing Halo 3, watching too much Television, and sleeping. What about you?

General.

Had a good weekend. The Pirates lost, which sucked but got to go pick some apples, and watch some emmy's and generally was pretty lazy which is nice now and again. Gearing up for a busy week. Tommorow we are going to see THEY MIght Be Giants. Should be a good show.

Now Watching: 2nd season of Extras
Now Playing, Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo Remix HD edition.
Now Reading Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis.

Peas Stuffed.

For my birthday today I got these awesome amigurumi Peas of Bob and Sally that Jessica made. Awesome. 3-d Peas to be my model for drawing. :> anyway, yipee!

Memorial day.

Beat Halo today, fitting since it's memorial day. In all seriousness, I have actually thought about today's Memorial day more than any other year of my life. I am proud of our troops. I'm just not that proud of our government. Let's remember the people who have died serving our country, not 'for' our country. Because exactly what are the people in Iraq dying 'for'?
I hope they come home soon. One day of rememberance does not justify our current losses. And make no doubt, these soilders, even the ones who make it home, will not be the same. They all have and are sacrificing every day. I just hope the people who sent them there can live with that. Obviously they can. And that's sad.

back to the blog!

O.k. should be mostly caught up, Ill be back on here regular for a while. Some things that piqued my interest this week,
food poisioning, nintendo media summit, B.P.R.D., LOst theories, The fall tv lineup, and a wonderful store in downtown Iowa City White Rabbit. It's all local artists, t-shirts, prints and music and ts really a awesome store. Go check it out.

here comes summer!

Well it's right around the corner. Here come's the heat, the humidty and the air condition fun!
Im ready for the popcorn to start flowing this week with spiderman 3 and not let up till the fall.
Already planning some long trips(minneapolis for convergence and vacation), milwaukee and chicago, and wish we had air conditioning in the car. Might head down to Kansas City this week for Planet COmicon. Heard it's the 2nd biggest show next to Wizard World and since yet again that conflicts with a closer and arguably betterlocal event I will not be attending this year
So much fun right around the corner.

It's raining geek.

It's so nice outside. I went for a really nice walk through neighborhoods I've never been in today. Came home and finally saw an episode of Torchwood. It's better than I thought it would be but I doubt we will ever get it in the states. Maybe dvd only? Saw last night's Drive on Fox's myspace page. Nathon Fillion could play Bozo the Clown and I think I would still watch.
Need to make some dinner soon, watch Shatner on Boston Legal tonight, and record an interview for the podcast.

coffee and coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup= dinner.
punch-out on vc. king hippo is so funny.
j.d. poster in two weeks!
inventory at work tonight. yawn.
it's getting nice out.
cats are sleeping.
i'm pondering the state of things.
too many things.

Southern Graphics Council WERE BACK

So We're back from SGC in Kansas City. It was a good time and I'm sure jess learned alot of new things for printmaking. I looked at alot of art, ate well and drank lots of beer every night, much of it free at receptions, so who can complain? Hey this was my first printmakers conference so add it to the list:> Next year's is in Richmond so maybe I'll be getting back to NC for a week then. Hope so.

city on film.

Just got back from seeing City On FIlm aka Bob Nanna(hey mercedes, BRAID) perform. His solo set was nice and peaceful and just what this icy midwestern night needed. I've always been drawn to his lyrics and the way they have a beat of there own. Bought his record and look forward to it turning over and over on my record player. Very Enjoyable. Even played an old braid song acoustic. lovely.
