Was in Giant yesterday buying a few random odds and ends, and swept by the seasonal aisle. And stopped. Shocked. They have Halloween stuff in there. On August 4th. Well…oh well. So I stocked up on a few things, since they had some “Fun size” candy for $1 per pack. And full-size candy bars at […]

Another hot day. It’s been in the upper 90’s all week, and it’s slated to stay that way. Which is summer. Feels silly to complain about normal seasonal weather. This is the last day of my Media Fast, and I’m glad of it. I actually broke the Fast today; watched a bit of anime over […]

I started drawing my next comic today. Knowing how this goes, I spent the day waiting for the dramatic event that would keep me from moving forward creatively. There’s always something to dissuade one from a creative project. I shouldn’t have been surprised. There was no dramatic event, but I have had trouble drawing. Because […]

Hot today. Full-scale summer hot. Not brutally oppressive, not yet; that’s for August. But when there’s a good twenty degree difference between outside and outside, you don’t stay out much. Which is a shame. If I were still a kid, I’d love this weather. You can work up a good sweat when it’s hot. Run […]

This morning, a trip to the farmer’s market. In My Neighbor Totoro, Satsuki compares her neighbor’s vegetable garden to “a mountain of treasure.” It’s a childish, overwrought sentiment, but when confronted with thousands of vegetables in a rainbow of deep, rich color, I have to agree. So, I came home with several plastic bags of […]

I’ve been getting mediocre, bland, cheap-American-beer sleep all week. I’ve been getting up late as a result, which means no time to exercise in the morning. So I’ll get in a brisk walk here and there, but nothing really solid. Which may explain my mediocre sleep. Plus, it’s been hot. Well, duh; it’s late July. […]

And I’m back. And I’m exhausted. I had a great weekend with Saalon and Nick at Otakon; the con is always much more fun with friends. We had a pretty standard experience. Watched some anime, bought some fun stuff at the dealer’s room (little figurines, Gundam model kits, bags, etc.), and went to a few […]

Leaving today for Otakon. Probably won’t blog again until at least Sunday. Do something really cool this weekend, okay?

Photos are back up. I bought a Panasonix Lumix DMC-TZ3 to replace my broken camera, and am very happy with it so far. The 10x optical zoom is what sold me. I just like getting close and detailed on things.

The first version of Project Psi, the board game Nick and I came up with a week and a half ago: Equipment: One square of paper, 4.5″ per side. This is the starting territory. Two 3×5″ red index cards (or white cards colored red), cut into 1.5″ squares. This is mountain territory. Two 3×5″ blue […]
