There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
This has been a stressful week.
Juggling work schedules, fighting a cold, and a couple infuriating situations have knocked me down. I’ve cleared up my schedule a bit, and am trying to take it easy, but still get things accomplished. We’ll see how that unfolds.
Today I get to go to the post office. [...]
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, [...]
I would just like to point out that the president of the United States was decided upon, and my state’s vote are not even in yet.
So, why did I bother?
Done. In and out in barely 10 minutes.
Where were the crowds? At Starbucks that’s where. All you suckers who got up early to wait in line to avoid the crowds…you guys were the crowds. Thanks for making it easy for me.
Before I went in to change the course of history with [...]
I dream of a day, let’s call it Wednesday, when politics will not be the foremost thing on everyone’s minds. This is assuming that the losing party does not erupt into violence and villainy. In that case, I’ll have to envision another day, perhaps a Friday, when we can all chance upon a [...]
Halloween came and went leaving me visited by a couple Darth Vaders, a jaguar (which I incorrectly guessed was a leopard and was corrected), a Frankenstein monster who I’m sure was in high school, and one girl that looked kind of like a prostitute but I’m sure was supposed to be a pop star.
Looking out [...]
I’ve got a couple more pages to finish up this week. In fact, here I am, sitting at the studio…at my computer…getting ready to work on them. But, after 8 hours standing on my feet handing off coffee to people, I need to unwind a bit.
So, how are you, internet?
We don’t talk much. [...]
Remember a last week when I mentioned the coming robot apocalypse? Scientists are crazy. CRAZY I SAY!!!
Also, NATURE IS CRAZY.
Giant spiders. Packs of robots equipped with weapons.
The only thing that could be worse is a giant robot spider.
This weekend I had the privilege of exploring the upstairs of an abandoned Belk’s attached to a mall in decline. Here a little what I learned:
- There was a staff of mostly males, or at least males in charge, as gauged by the lingerie/bra posters still clinging to the walls.
- The upstairs, given the [...]
This weekend I was at a convention, which is nothing too unusual.
Except that someone made a costume of one of my characters.
I thought that was pretty cool. The guy that made it (modeled here by a friend of his) says it’s not quite done yet (I notice there’s no belt or sleeves yet) but [...]
1. This week I worked a lot throwing coffee around. As a result I was in bed Thursday by 8:30 like an elderly woman who has just digested the last of her 4:00 dinner at the cafeteria.
2. Yesterday everywhere I went I kept seeing customers from work, or people from church. [...]
I’ve been really busy over the weekend and so far this week.
Here’s a card.
Dear artist who painted the Starbucks window,
“Pumpkin” is spelled not spelled “p-u-N-p-k-i-n”
I don’t even know how to pronounce that.
Coridally,
Brian
A rare no art day.
I was throwing the coffee around from before sunup until around three today, and managed to soak myself in warm soy milk. By lunch I sat down to eat with cold, soy soaked pants, feeling exhausted and achy. The cooler weather this week has brought about a season [...]
Do not wonder that he reasons ill just now; a fly is buzzing by his ear; it is quite enough to unfit him for giving good counsel.
- Blaise Pascal
On the days that work at the studio, I’ll go hang out and read for about an hour at the coffee shop downtown before heading in. [...]
This afternoon I made the mistake of wearing my Dunder Mifflin shirt. A mistake because I knew I was going to see my grandma, and I should have foreseen that while she was lumbering through the dentist office, teetering on the brink of falling to the floor and breaking a hip, she would fixate [...]
This afternoon I’m fighting to stay awake. I had a Dr. Pepper a few minutes ago and instead of perking me up the biggest impact from it has been a syrupy feeling in my mouth. So, I’m not too sure what was accomplished there.
I need to work out some layouts for commissions, [...]
This morning during church I learned that my eye will not follow lyrics and chord progressions when the chords are not right above the words. This would have been a valuable lesson to learn 24 hours ago.
Two cats.
One will eat everything you put out, including food for the other cat.
I need a way make food available for the cat that doesn’t devour everything, while keeping the cat that does from getting to it.
I need to avoid shutting them up in a room alone.
There has to be a way to fix this.
Suggestions?
