How's that for a slice of Fried Gold?
I don't think I captured Liz' likeness all that well, but overall I'm pleased with how this Shaun of the Dead illustration turned out.

I'm more or less settled now. I got food, toilet paper, keys, power, and now I have internet. Life is good.
there's only one thing I have to get. the only stuff left unpacked is a LOT of art supplies, doo dads and stuff I actually USE, but there's no place for them. I need a kind of hutch/china cabinet/case type things, that has cupboards, drawes adn shelves in it to store all this crap. I wanna get all these boxes out of here.
Eventually I'll have photos, I don't have a digital camera at my disposal.
right now, I'm just sort of fighting a low-level headache. Which isn't bad, it's not a killer, but I can't do the things I usually enjoy doing on a Sunday night. Before too long, video games, porn (in fact, any movie) working on the computer and checking my spelling eventually start to egg the headache into a more powerful one. Good way to end the weekend.
Halloween was a good one. I was going to go as Ed from Shaun of the Dead, but Lo, without an "i got wood" shirt, you're just another guy in shorts with a chunk taken out of his hair carrying a bloody shovel.
I did my part dispensing Halloween joy. My buddy has 4 daughters (!!! yeah. Four. He's got his hands full) and they all went trick or treating. I tagged along, a "Chicken Cheet" spotter (Chicken Cheet is how the 2nd youngest said Trick or Treat.) They were really cute, the youngest (in the stroller) was a Strawberry, the 2nd youngest was a lion, the 3rd youngest was Hawkgirl (with big ass wings and everything). the 4th youngest (aka the oldest) was trick or treating with a friend, and chose a different route.
It was a good time. I could have gone to a few parties, but being that I didn't have a complete costume, I think my time was better spent helping my friend's girls have a cool Halloween.
The only crappy thin about Halloween is that it's only once a damn year.
Current iTunes song: One of the tracks from "Warcraft 2" video game. I freaking love older video game music.

I am more than 75% MOVED.
The majority of my stuff (crap) is now in my new apartment. The best part about this day is that I can finish this with NO FAMILY INTERRUPTIONS!!! Everyone is gone.
Although, now that everyone is gone, I can't seem to turn my desk chair around to look at my almost-empty room. Not because there's still work left to do, not because I'm sort of tired (well, not just for that reason)
I dunno. More or less, this is it. I'm not moving back home again. I've been here way too long, and I'm not going to regret leaving, but you stay long enough in one place and wether you love or hate it (neither of which apply to my feelings of this place) it's a part of your history.
Ghah. Why be Sentimental, I have work to do!
Note: I dunno when I'll hve my comptuer moved over, or when I'll get internet access. but when I'm up and running, I'll post a new journal and let ye know how I'm doin.

what the fuck
I stop listening to the news for a few days and what do I hear? Bush nominating ANOTHER person to the Supreme Court, who isn't even a Judge? A long time friend and legal confidant?
There are many things wrong with his presidency, but the one I'm going to bitch about today is that his fucking administration will appoint and nominate FRIENDS and SUPPORTERS over people who can DO THE JOB BETTER.
God damn it Sometimes, I look to Canada or England or Australia, I wonder if the grass really is greener on the other side...
Stop... think about this weekend.
This coming Saturday is the crown jewel for my week: The Promise Breaker's annual Halloween ART and MUSIC show at the Half Penny Pub.
CNYs best and most bizzare artists and weirdos display their art, and local bands (I don't know who yet) play. The Halloween Show is usually the best, everyone breaks out their creepy and/or goriest artwork for display.
This year I'll be displaying two illlustrations, and old pic of a cute little girl, stitched up standing in bloody mess with a chainsaw, and a Shaun of the Dead Illustration (if I can finish it..., capturing Liz' likeness is proving to be difficult)
I'll put up Scans later this week for everoyne to see.

Work this week has made me feel like went 10 rounds with a giant Robot.
Mentally I feel beaten and bloodied, and tomorrow will be even more fucking crazy...
but I don't feel down, no way man. I'm not at work NOW. The air smells cleaner, the food tastes better. the songs sound more rich and deep. I've heard this song before, and It sounded OK, but it sounds fucking amazing now. Echo-y
the Only Living Boy in New York Simon and Garfunkel
I think I'll go, get a good book and sink into my bed.
Not since my vacation has it felt so nice to not be at work.

Good day yesterday
1) went to check out the other apartment, waited for about 45 minutes for the building manager to show up. I hung out with a young family of three, who were going to look at the 2 bedroom that was available. Cute kid, kids can be awesome.
a) the building was awesome. It was an old Schoolhouse built in 1914. Big thick walls, stone and brick, SOLID. Maybe it's haunted!
b) I never got to see the insides, the building manager finally showed up and said that he was so sorry, as he first approached the buidling (35 minutes prior) he realized he had the wrong set of keys. he drove back to his office, then his house, and realized that the keys he needed were in the hands (or rather, the truck) of his business partner.
As an apology for having kept us waiting, he said that ANYTIME Monday or Tuesday we could call his cell and he'd be at the building (with the key) within 5 minutes. So I have to wait til tomorrow after work. Big whoop.
2) I went to Borders, got my usual, and wrote for a number of hours on this story proposal for DC that I'm collaborating on with a friend. The rest of the day was spent hanging out with said friend, smoothing a few points of the story out, and watching (ah what the hell did we watch? i cna't remember. some movie, after the kids went to bed)
a) His oldest daughter (she's 10) was sleeping over at a friends when she woke up and started throwing up. She came back home at roughly 12:30, crying and looking embarrased. Poor kid, I remember being about that age, getting sick and not getting to the toilet in time. Your'e sick, for one, and you feel ashamed for getting vomit wherever vomit's not supposed to be. and since you're sick, you can't relly focus to get that shame and embarrasment out of your head long enough to realize that no one else really cares, they're concerned about getting you better. Poor kid might have been slightly delierious.
I called this morning, and she's, well, she's still sick, but better than she was last night.
It wasn't a raucaus night of wild crazyness. Working on a story, watching a movie, and friend's kids getting sick, then home.
And today, jeez, I got up at 12:30. My day is almost gone already, so it looks like all I'll be doing today is laundry. Fuck! I hate it when part of the precious weekened gets reduced like this. Bleh.
Must try to work in some GOOD into this day. I wonder what I should do....

Oh, such an intense day. Wake up at 12:30, have half a bowl of Store Brand Sugar-Smacks, start laundry and cleaning. Such a wonderful day.
such a truly wonderful Great... Day...
FOR ME TO POOP ON!

SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!!!
When the heck did these DVDs come out?!?!?!
and Why don't I have any money to get them?!?
Oh well. I should be saving my money anyway. I made some appointments this weekend to look at apartments. the one I really want is in a building that used to be old school house (1914 I think). big ass STONE building, kinda cool. He didn't say how much rent would be on the phone, I hope a 1 room won't be out of this world...
OK, well I gotta get going for work, take it easy everyone!

Updates to this morning's:
quick note:
I can not seem to get my life back on schedule.
- My job is gaining more steam and momentum, and I still can't get started enough in the morning to keep up with it. the change is happening soon, and It feels like I might be losing the job before the change happens.
- I promised myself I'd be moved out by the end of this month. How much progress has been made there? None. Go me! Moving will be the #1 good thing that can possibly happen, I've come to that conclusion a while ago, so why the hell haven't i done anything about it?
Evening Edit: I actually just called a few places I was looking at and scheduled some time to meet and check out the apartment. Luckily for me they will be around for the weekend, because my weekdays are unpredictable.
"Hey man, work's been busy, with 9 to 11 hour days, you're tired!"
Bull fucking shit. I don't care if I'm tired. If I change my daily environment (new place, away from the family) everything will change immensly.
I have to sort my head out and get my life on track! Arg.
Crap, I have to get to work. have a good one everyone
Evening edit: Work was not bad at all. There was a shitload to do, but i forced myself to leave at 5:30 (the time we're supposed to leave) instead of leaving at 6:30 or 7 or 8 like I usually do.
It's not like I LOVE working there so much, I'm just not great at the job I have, and it takes me longer to get it done. Actaully, it's more like the job is very difficult, and I'm not as skilled as the last guy who did the job. requires a lot of mental notes, multitasking, and time budgeting, which I'm not good at.
Me thinks I will forego jerkin off tonight and do something more productive. (Not that Jerkin off is a waste of time, I enjoy me some jerkin off.)

UT!
Yes, profile pic is of I, with the Strangest Man Alive, the Flaming Carrot (left). Who is the Flaming Carrot, you say? clicketh here, and be educateth.
This is the only photographic evidence that I attended DragonCon 2005. Aside from waiting 3 hours for registration-check in, it was a pretty damn good time. lots of good costumes.
that was two weeks ago though! Why o why don't I live in the now?
Progress is progressing on my projects, slowly perhaps, but progressing. Mainly writing and planning. This time next year I'll have a few very healthy proposals and submission packages.
Went to Ye Olde Strippe Clubbe this weekend, to blow the left overs of my vacation money. Best $200 I ever spent. The women I saw, goodness. they should be dancing on Broadway or competing in the olympics. I've been to stripclubs occationally in the past, but the women on Saturday were doing some amazing acrobatic-type stuff! And they were naked! Can't beat that. Very talented folk.
Okay, I should get goin, gotta sniff out an apartment. Take it easy.

Thanks for the B-day whishes everyone!
Well my job hasn't changed over yet, from my previous position to the Photoshop position. so I'm still packing away the hours (with a salary, no OT.
)
But I feel immensly more relaxed after my vacation. Before, at the end of the week, I was Exhausted, Stressed out, and completely Unmotivated.
But NOW, I'm still Exhausted, but not stressed out, and only a little bit unmotivated. I should use this to my advantage to
A) find a better apartment and
B) get my comic art progress rolling.
When the change in my job happens, I hope to have some momentum already built up. For at that time, I should have FREE TIME!!! Man I Can't wait. It's been 9 months since i had any of that.

One stray thought: I used to be a REDICULOUSLY frivilous consumer. buying any CD or DVD that caught my attention.
But over the years I've trained myself to NOT BUY STUFF like crazy. I've been able to keep control of my money.
THE DRAWBACK: in instances where I CAN spend a shitload of money...I can't do it. i got a few gift cards for my Birthday, including an iTunes one. and two nights ago I was trolling itunes and saw a lot of stuff that I'd like, but didn't buy any of it. Last night I looked around even more, and still didn't find anyhting that I'd buy with it.
I'll use it eventualy, but it takes a while to break down the mental walls I've put up. (the important part is re-building them after the spending is done)
OK. well, i gotta get some stuff done. Party on, and be excellent to each other. (note: new profile pic coming soon)
