| Visiting LA |
[Jul. 5th, 2008|03:04 am] |
I got hooked up with free tickets so I am in LA until the 8th, hanging out with Leslie and Team Atrox and my Pitzer College former suitemates: Corey, Isaac, Lindsay and I would have seen that whore Bianca but she was all "spending Independence Day with her family".
I am calling you on that bullshit, lady. You had better see me before I go.
Tomorrow is a Crazy Fruit party that I bought tart and punchy cornichons to try out.
It's Stupid O'clock, why am I still up?
If you want to follow my progress through LA, I am throwing up photos into this set on Flickr.

Oh shit! I aaaalmost forgot, I totally updated my comic too!
Remember my post about babysitting from the other day? This is totally about that.
Dudes, babies farting is the funniest thing ever to me.

| Strawberries |
[Jun. 30th, 2008|10:26 pm] |
Susan, Cat, Anne and I went strawberry pickin today!
I am especially pleased that Anne actually captured me in the process of spilling the fruits of my labor right as I tried to show them off.
It's amazing how thoroughly the heat zaps away my energy. I have been a complete cranky jerk ever since the heat wave started. Wait, is it really a heat wave? Or is this just Typical Summer Temperature and I'm being a big dramatic baby about it?
Prooooobably the latter.
But! It's so pretty out!
I just need to suck up my heat-induced bad mood and drink more water.
And maybe eat some strawberries.

Matt always knows how to cheer me up with handmade gifts.
Cock-related handmade gifts.
Being unemployed = being busy all the time
Oo! And I got my first unemployment payment! Man, what the crap is up with paying taxes on that?? Isn't this the same money that the gov. took away from me for taxes in the first place? And now they're taxing it again?
PSHT.
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I guess 25 isn't so bad.

| Birthday Gift |
[Jun. 18th, 2008|04:13 pm] |
That 'early birthday gift from my boyfriend' that I mentioned in yesterday's strip?
Here is a picture of it.
Matt got me my own cute waitress a Canon Rebel XT O.o
Nobody has ever gotten me such a nice gift before. It doesn't feel like it's really mine! I keep thinking the Real Owner is going to come and take it back. Until then, tho, I'ma gunna take as many pictures of my friends and cats as I possibly can.
I still don't really know how to use it yet! I have been taking more than my fair share of blurry, poorly-composed photos in my efforts to understand what all the settings mean.
Fortunately, the other day I went out to a cute French restaurant with some ladies and it turned out our waitress is a professional photographer so she helped me twirl some dials and adjust some doo-dads. (She takes some really pretty photos, by th' by)
What I'm trying to say is: Oh my lord, how thoroughly did I win the boyfriend lottery?
Pretty fuckin' thoroughly.

Hurg, not much to report. Portland is distractingly beautiful right now.
Oh yeah! I am turning 25 on June 25th, I guess that is sort of cool. So far I don't have any plans to celebrate it because I don't really feel like I have a reason to do anything special. Just another year!
Everyone congratulate Les McClaine on tonight's TV premiere of his comic, The Middleman! It made me laugh out loud. On multiple occasions.

And in NOT-sperm related news, I hung out with Dylan and Roslyn last night.
Also, how happy does this photo make me? So happy!
Haha, it just now occurred to me that this is a very cartoonist-centric post.
Except for Roslyn, of course.
I can only imagine what she'd accomplish with opposable thumbs.

Uuuuuurmmmm....
I keep putting up strips that I think will gross out/offend people... (Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5)
And then they wind up being my best received.
...I think maybe I've finally come to that limit.
I don't know if I'm more scared of losing readers or of readers sharing their personal anecdotes with me.

[Jun. 2nd, 2008|09:04 pm] |
Hey dudes, I got back from Queen's Kingdom on Friday night.
It was such an amazing trip. I can't even express how good it was. Way gooder than it had any business being.
I, uh, replied to, like, three emails while I was away (for three weeks) so now I've got about 160 to go through :-/
I'm working on tomorrow's DAR but I'm not sure if I'll get it up on time. It'll go up for sure, maybe just not in the morning?
Here's the photos I took and here's the photos Matt took: Set One and Set Two

Hey Folks! A bit late... But still up on the right day!
God, England is treating me so well. It's basically all back rubs and chocolate, with intermission for trashy celebrity TV and jumping on the trampoline.
The last five months feel like they happened a life time ago.
Email keeps piling up, but I'm too busy petting British cats to reply. Sorry!
The MINUTE I finished typing that, one of the British cats ran up and started purring at me like a motorboat and now it's taking me ages to just write this one sentence 'cos I keep having to pet him.
END TRANSMISSION

| Life Update |
[May. 7th, 2008|08:11 am] |
Last week my day job ended so I bought a ticket to visit my honey in England.
I'm leaving tomorrow! For two weeks!
Man, we have not seen each other in five months. It is hard to go that long without seeing the person you call Sweetie.
Life is kind of exciting right now and I am heeeeeeella behind on my email.
Yeah, I missed my DAR update :-/ It is going to be a comic report of Stumptown!
Jeff of Team Atrox has a really good write up on the Fest, so while I am still crazy late on getting mine up, please read his!
Lori took a totally bitchin photo of me at Stumptown:
Oh man! Tomorrow! Tomorrow I get on a plane for this!

Thank you so, so much to everyone who voted for me at the convention. The response I've gotten has been overwhelming and I feel damn lucky to have such supportive readers.
I have just gotten the book up in my shop so you can get a copy of your own if you want :) C'mon man, it's an award winner! How could you not want that shit?
But really:
Thank you. |
