Thanks to Dylan Meconis for the heads up on Sara Ryan's insights on writing for comics.  I recently learned about Gumball.  I streamed the entire Super Brother's Sword and Sworcery album and loved it!

I watched a bunch of Channel Frederator at the beginning of the week.  Was clued into to this great talk by Ivan Brunetti by Jason Bradshaw. I dreamt up a bunch of ideas on twitter such as an Evangelion/Akira like manga where child CEO's pilot corporate mechs and may or may not protect the earth from cataclysmic disasters.  I stalked Mighty Otaking's deviantArt after watching his awesome StarWars anime short which he is trying to keep under wraps.  Bonus points for finding Tyson Hesse in one of his comment thread.  Watched a stream with Amber and learned about Glen Vilppu on Wednesday.

This was the week of the secret Romney 47% video, the controversy with Amanda Palmer's volunteer musicians, and the SPX crowd falling out with the flu.  It was the week I finally watched a complete episode of Game of Thrones, and reacquainted myself with Hey Ash Whatcha Playing as people tried out Borderlands 2 out for the first time.  I gained a bunch of awesome followers, called Marvel and DC the dead Monoliths and read a bunch of Prophet, and later found out I missed some issues of the reboot of Glory.  I went to the river with my friends and waded around and had barbecue and got some spiffy treads for my bike.

People watched the Emmy Awards and the NFL this weekend.  I read Guin Saga and Roza and learned about phenom Carly Rose Sonenclar.  I think for me it was a short week and a longer weekend because I slept more and stayed away from twitter and tumblr.  I felt pretty distant from online people this week and looping into depression, so maybe it was the right choice to make.

Hey, It's May 29th. Tomorrow's my sister's birthday. The day after that is Memorial Day. A lot of things happened on this day in history involving people coming back into power, or treaties being signed. One year the inventor of Coca Cola put out an ad in the Atlanta Journal. It's all pretty dry to me.

So I discovered Eat That Toast. It's delicious. Also Ed Piksor wrote this awesome post on the comic book classic 64-color chart. I got to watch and chat during a livestream by Jen (glassass on tumblr) who was brought to my attention by daleof.

My neck and back have been killing me all week. I've resorted to taking some NSAIDs I had precribed a year ago for a different injury. They're good right up until I suddenly feel itchy all over and my veins decide to either stick out, or sink in.

This week I also managed to blank my firefox profile by trying to reinstall firefox 3.6. Why did I do that? Well, because not all my extensions were compatible with 4.0, and I thought it better to take a step backward than carry forward with something missing. Story of my life. But don't worry, I managed to recover an archived profile and start over from May 18. I lost a few days of browsing history but now everything seems good. Better than good. Now both 3.6 and 4.0 work flawlessly and stay in constant sync!

I have another day off because hundred of thousands, maybe more, people died at war with hundreds of thousands of other people. I'm not sure how I should feel about that, other than mournful and cynical. So instead of grilling burgers and watching parades, I'm gonna lay low and heal. Thanks either way.
