Day 896 of 365 Again. It’s the end of the week. Thank god. I swear. I was so not prepared to work a full week after my vacation. I almost didn’t make it. Between being sick and just being out of the working mode, I’m exhausted. I know I was constantly worried when I was…
Day 895 of 365 Again. Yep, being sick sucks. My stomach hurts. My head hurts. My very soul hurts. It really sucks. I kinda want to say something philosophical here. Something about the way that being sick physically drains you emotionally. Fills you with dread and hopelessness and saps your will to really do anything.…
Day 892 of 365 Again. You know, usually when something monumental happens I tend to write some kind of commentary or rant on it. I try to make poignant important points while peppering things with my own snide assholish humor. But sometimes, even I don’t have the heart. Today is Martin Luther King day. Basically…
Day 881 of 365 Again. Where oh were has the inspiration gone. I really need to work on it. There used to be so much time in the day to be creative, but now I never feel like I have time for anything. That said, Steph and I went out to poker night tonight for…
Day 876 of 365 Again. I figured today I would do something creative with my self-portrait, but that didn’t really happen. Instead I decided to explore another technique of texturing an image, kind of like I did yesterday. Exciting, huh. Maybe not, but like I said, it’s a vacation. You know, looking at my eyes,…
Day 873 of 365 Again. Steph and I spent a quiet New Years at home this year playing games and watching the ball drop on TV and sharing a bottle of champagne. Not the most exciting way to ring in the year maybe, but you can’t beat the company. And it was damn cold outside,…
Day 870 of 365 Again. I guess the year is really ending. This is the end of my last weekend of 2008, and tomorrow it’s back to work. *sigh* It didn’t really kick in for me til I was working on getting tomorrow’s Cosmic Hellcats posted. I was kinda disappointed that not that many people…
Day 865 of 365 Again. Yeah yeah yeah… I know… two lame hand pics in a row. But it was a long day. I went out and finished the last of my Christmas shopping. Then Steph and I spent the night wrapping everything. Then I even got a little work done on the next Hellcats,…
Day 864 of 365 Again. You know, sometimes I kinda wonder about what happens to me at night. I don’t remember cutting myself yesterday. I don’t remember getting up in the middle of the night and slicing my palm open. I don’t think Stephanie secretly carves away at me while I’m sleeping. But this morning,…
Day 858 of 365 Again. Another day, a little better. Got the replacement power cable for my dying hard drive today. Crossed my fingers ad plugged it in, hoping that maybe everything would be better. It was… Well, a little. The drive is still dying. It still won’t stay up for very long, but I…
Day 856 of 365 Again. Sigh… So I got a killer job offer this morning. Fashion photographer for a shoot on the coast of Africa in Benin. Why am I not happy then? I mean, €22,500 (a little over $30K, US)for ten days of work that I love in a gorgeous location. What could be…
Day 851 of 365 Again. Worked on trying to fix the drive all night. Nothing worked. At this point I’m tired of screwing with it. At least for now. I did buy a replacement for it, but I’m beginning to seriously fear that the data itself is lost forever. I may start killing people soon.…
Day 839 of 365 Again. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Went to Steph’s brother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Was what it was, sat around and ate turkey. But got to see something cooler than that. Steph’s niece has pet butterflies. This is interesting mostly because it never occurred to me before that anyone would ever keep butterflies…
Day 835 of 365 Again. Wheee! It’s lazy photo day. Exciting, isn’t it? Was too tired to do much of anything today. Didn’t even leave the house. Spent the morning working on photos from yesterdays ubermegashoot and then in the evening I switched over to working on the comic. Didn’t get around to taking a…
Day 828 of 365 Again. So Stephanie is a big fan of reality TV shows. When I don’t have anything better to do, I watch them with her. Today she was watching "The Amazing Race." This brought to mind something that I had noticed years ago when watching Survivor. Here’s the scenario. The Amazing Race…
