Cider Rules the House

This was week three in the new place, and the penultimate week for the month of March.  It was hard to keep up with current events, much less with the internet. Dongle-gate was this week. 

Monday March 18, 2013: I started downloading the remaining Winter 2013 Collection: The Whole Story comics.  I read Road Stories.  Ryan Estrada continues to surpass my expectations as an artist and an adventurer. Oldtype/Newtype

 Tuesday March 19, 2013:  Today was Chicken & Waffles Day.  I found the holy grail.  We celebrated and nothing else mattered.  And then we all went bed early.  I can't remember if I read Nao of Brown this day, but it's been a really great read so far.  I'm quickly becoming obsessed with the world it resides in.

Wednesday March 20, 2013:  I had a thought earlier today about mapping phenomena and their durations through the years of my memory.  A quick glance up a particular year would give me a snapshot of all the phenomena that occurred during that year.  I'm not really sure why my brain is so obsessed with informational systems.  Anyway today turned out to be a great day for talking out personal issues, and I got to say some things about my relationship with my mom, and my last memories of her.  Getting into my new rhythm and ritual.  Packed myself a lunch.

Thursday March 21, 2013:  The lunch made a spectacular breakfast as I struggled to not spend any money while at work.  This was the thursday that I almost jacked myself up when my machine fell.  I recovered, got in early and headed home with a lot of focus and energy.  The kitchen is now pretty well organized.  I also made dinner and felt more in step with my personal rhythm.  At work I started that whole graph of phenomena through the years.  There has to be some simple graphing/list program that I can use to manipulate this data.  I guess I'm interested in the intersection of moments along different narratives.  That would be the historian and storyteller in me trying to sort things out.

Friday March 22, 2013:  It was my friend Ian's birthday and I bought him a Hobgoblin Brew.  We had some tasty enchiladas, and apple cider beer.  I discovered VGE and Balderdash.

Saturday March 23, 2013:  I got up later in the morning and made myself a nice breakfast.  Ran some errands and got back into Wait Till Next Year which I think I started Thursday night.  I read a particular passage that made me anxious to read more Cross Game.  Today I read up the current page of Balderdash.  The Bartkira meme passed over James Harvey's desktop.  Can we just acknowledge how great Henry the Worst is, already?

Sunday March 24, 2013:  My roommates went camping so I had the house all to myself.  I watched The Original Kings of Comedy and Iron Sky.  I read some more Authority v3 while doing laundry.  Then more apple cider beer into the night.

This week was pretty rhythmic for me, and I made some improvements to my living and head space.  As soon as I can make some room for a bookcase I expect to throw myself back into my creative hive and churn out some interesting things.

Golden Sunset Palzone

I started off the week desperately trying to finish two birthday present drawings for two awesome online art pals, which you might have noticed last post.  This week Monday marked the 107th year since Little Nemo debuted,  the 2nd presidential debate aired, and I watched it in bed before I passed out in exhaustion.  Many jokes were had.

My favorite recent Henry the Worst artworks:
Sean Connery 4 vs. Alex Trebek
Adventures of Homemade Batman and Robin
Andrea Gerstmann
Delano-Laramie
Nick Iluzada
Lip Blue
I'm excited to see what comes out of this Megaman Boss Battles show!

I finished Fun Home at the end of the week and chanced upon Cross Game Volume 2.  Earlier in the week I returned A Happy Death and picked up Batman: The Cult, Daredevil Vs. Bulls Eye, Vlad the Impaler by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón, and BPRD: 1946.  I spent much of Saturday watching Teen Titans and Lupin, and finally sorted my comics in Comic Rack.  It was 24 hour comic day also!

There were a lot of really beautiful, golden-sunsetted afternoons this week and I think they put me in an appreciative and dreamy mood.  I read a bunch of Vattu and Scarygoround: Crisis Quest pt. 1.  Jessi introduced me to Sim-Bionic Titan.  I introduced Penny to spaghetti sandwhich, and coined the term Palzone.  I caught an episode of this show called The Rebel with a character named Johnny Yuma.  It was kitsch and cool at the same time.  I'm hoping to get around to reading Arrowsmith soon, and picking back up with Oyasumi Pun Pun, Guin Saga, Rachel Rising and a lot of queued web comics.

I should have more specific artistic goals than: draw something awesome today.some time today.

I should probably organize my workspace with respect to what I absolutely need handy, and what is just cluttering the way.

I should probably set some deadlines for projects, and choose to spend time on projects that I can reasonably get done on a deadline.

Mask of My Own Face

This was the week of Columbus Day, the VP debate where Biden showed his teeth, the apparent suicide of bullied teen Amanda Todd, and the highest skydive on record.  I began reading Oyasumi Pun Pun on the recommendations of Jessi Zabarsky and Dale O'Flaherty, Ray Frenden and Ming Doyle had birthdays, and I got Daisy Kutter in the mail!  I started reading Rachel Rising, and remembered that Terry Moore is one of my favorite comics people.

Check out this 100 figures Bob Jinx recants to us. I learned about José Antonio Muñoz while looking up Keith Giffen's Trencher.  Bonus points to me for introducing Brandom Graham to aforementioned comic.

Great news about Bravest Warriors, also really great covers by some awesome internet art buddies.

Such as Henry the Worst who did this awesome Silver Surfer Galactus.

Radiomaru lends his charm to the new Young Avengers series.

Oh, I also forgot to mention people were at the New York City Comic Con all weekend.  Apparently it was a fun filled, overcrowded, exhausting whirlwind of a convention and good and stressful times were had.  But I wasn't there, so who really cares.  Just kidding ^u^

I like this new Lemon Demon/ Neil Cicierega song.
