Welcome to April! I've been struggling lately to find balance and alignment. Last month I felt the void of personal time, last week I lost time to snoozing, and this week I just couldn't guide myself on my own path.
Monday April 1: I was the first one up in the house. Watching Strip Search I want to start writing about my new situation like I'm on a reality show. I made myself my inaugural banana smoothie and got my laundry together. Spent an inordinate amount of time searching for the title of that monster hunter anime where the guy runs away with the girl. Queued up New Mutants v3. Had a nice laundry day with the fam, even got some boba on the way back. I then read a bunch of Amy Falcone comics: Cardigan Weather and Citation Needed (which I read in my classic backward fashion). Watched the new Adventure Time directed by David O'Reilly before getting sucked into wrestling. Had a late night supermarket run, before coming home to watch the newest ep of Strip Search. It is now early morning Tuesday.
Tuesday April 2: Short days are good. I walked home today and got in before noon. Time to make some money and catch up on comics. That is the mantra. I read a lotta bit more of Citation Needed
Oops I fell asleep and had a nightmare.

Wednesday April 3: Started the Otherworld Saga of Uncanny X-factor v1 early in the morning. Queued up Uncanny Avengers # 1 also. If I haven't said so, I've been trotting along with The Authority v3. I'm like 8 parts into this storyline. I drew a comic today. My other mantra this week was Sit Down, Shut Up, and Warm Up--which I kind of accomplished, but failed to follow through on. I started reading Myspace DHP v5. Loved The Gax of Life especially.
Thursday April 4: The world lost Roger Ebert today. I perused some past blog entries but passed out early.
Friday April 5: I drew a comic at work today. I also got a bunch of episodes into Stardust Memory.
Saturday April 6: I was the first person awake today and had some nice quiet time to myself. Started writing some notes for an Authority like comic. Did some grocery shopping, and then some weight training with the boys. Had to renew my library DVD. Later did some more grocery shopping and then hit the jacuzzi. Finished the night off watching Mr. Bean and snacked on food. Pretty eventful day for the week. Also we have so much food now. I read the first chapter of Yotsuba.
Sunday April 7: I did some laundry and read a bunch of Uncanny X-Factor. This series is going in my favorites of all time. I got a haircut and went swimming today. The family came down and met me by the pool and we had barbecue for dinner. It was a pretty nice day.
This was the first week of April, the week of april fools. There was a lot of stuff going on with North Korea armament & missile testing, Wrestlemania XXIX aired, Nemu-Nemu celebrated it's 7th anniversary, Ian Andersen had a birthday. I learned to play Valerie. I kind of lost my comic mojo by Friday, but I got in a lot of quality watching and reading, while balancing time with the roomies. Money seems a little shaky right now, so I keep hoping and wishing something turns a corner for me in this art thing. Here's some great work by Kai Carpenter. Here's the new Skadi site.

Hump Week
This was the week of Easter, the last week of March, the week I started crushing on Katie Rice while watching Strip Search. There were some warm days and we got out to the pool, but also there were thunder and lightning storms in the distance. The country rallied around the upcoming supreme court decision on the definition of marriage.
Monday March 25: Today I was pretty lazy and spent almost all day indoors. I ate quite a bit, but was plagued by the bacobit burps, probably precipitated by some turkey dogs I ate. Gross. I watched the entire Sakuga Anime panel from Anime Central 2011. And then I lost a few hours to watching UFC 158. It's back to work for me tomorrow, but I'm sure it will be a short day. I'll need it to catch up on some sleep. Hopefully this week I can catch up with a lot of other things. I'm way behind in Adventure Time, Archer, Strip Search, comics in general, and I have just under a week to watch all of Gundam 0083. It would also be nice to draw this week. I haven't really read many web comics lately with the exception of Balderdash and I'd like to fix that. I think I heard recently that Oni Press is rereleasing Scary Go Round! Also I've been trying to figure out the name of an anime I watched on Crunchy Roll back in 2008 about a young guy from a family line of monster hunters who falls for a monster girl and runs away with her.
Tuesday March 26: Got off at noon, came home and snoozed. My roommates made some ridiculous shawermas. I had two to myself. What a pig! I finished reading the Nao of Brown and then watched the Simon & Marcy episode of Adventure Time. Both were fantastic. I learned that Jordie is coloring a revival of Quantum & Woody. What a good time to read the original run!
Wednesday March 27: Was home by 9am. Had some animation daydreams I wanted to draw. Lately I've had a lot of images pop into my head that are beyond my artistic grasp. I had a good long nap, then woke up and ate some more shawerma. I had plans to marathon Akira or Gundam 0083, but I didn't. Instead I watched Alex Butera stream for a bit, watched some musical youtube vids, found out about Stoker, got the newest Archer episodes, and made some barbecue chicken. It was Lexxy's Birthday! She won a cintiq on Strip Search. Rachel drew Cygnus, but I was thinking: Bishounen Ice King.
Thursday March 28: Today was the dumbest day. All day my eye felt dry and irritated. Then I got back to the office and was served up a bunch of bullshit. So I came home and had two tallboys, watched an episode of Strip Search, and calmed the fuck down. I got to get out of here. This place and these people are stupid.
Friday March 29: We had a barbecue and I spent most of the day out by the pool and eating lots of chicken. I read a few pages of One Punch Man but got distracted.
Saturday March 30: I watched another episode of Strip Search. I returned Nao of Brown today and picked up Myspace DHP. Then I went swimming for a bit. Had a great dinner with the fam and watched Shaolin Soccer which had been heavily edited though in the original language. There was a lightning storm tonight.
Sunday March 31: Late into the crack of dawn I finally get caught up with Strip Search. End up going to bed at 5am, waking at 2:30pm. Good job, loser! I checked in on So Far Apart which sadly hasn't been updated in about 5 months. I read a few pages of One Punch Man, which suddenly reminded me of some old concepts I came up with when I was 17. I'll have to scan those in soon.

Wrestless Week
March 4, Monday: I finished moving. Had a lot of trouble getting my computer stable. Drew a wolverine. Ming Doyle had a tumblr Q+A. Strip Search seems to be in full swing.
March 5, Tuesday: I was up late the night before so I crashed early. But I learned about Oji-san No Lamp before I did.
March 6, Wednesday: I finally started catching up with Ghiblijam. I was probably faving posts for an hour straight. I'm very impressed by all the talent and cute work that came out of this.
March 7, Thursday: Didn't do much after work except go grocery shopping for things to make our shooter's sandwiches. I was so excited to find a variety of granola at the nearby market. We prepped our shooters and set them under some weights, then sunk into the couch to watch some wrestling. Again. I feel like I'm wrestling to get my personal time again. Need to isolate myself and feed my brain again. Here's was a brilliant comic by Luke Pearson that somebody recently reposted.
March 8, Friday: I got home from work early and was so tired I fell asleep. Adam & I unwrapped our shooter's sandwiches and washed them down with some Lemon Berry Shandy's I picked up on the way home. I also got some Sriracha Peas. We all watched Smack Down before heading to bed.
March 9, Saturday: I watched Kizuna Ichigeki for the first time and it was love at first sight. Today was the anniversary of Biggie's death. I went to the laundromat and read some of Blade of the Immortal issue 2 while I waited. And then I picked up Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and The Nao of Brown from the library & bought a chicken + bacon stuffed pizza from Papa Murphys. Pretty good for a Saturday.
March 10, Sunday: Slept in until noon then went to get some Chinese buffet. Today was the spring time change for daylight savings. Back at the house we had Adam's sister's family over for pho & a movie. It was a madhouse, but entertaining to have so much child energy around. Adam's sister makes some good, authentic pho.
This was my first week in the new place. I watched a lot of wrestling with the family, tried to make do with cramped quarters, and ate really, really well.
