I added Waga Na wa Nero & Grey Digital Target to my queue.  I also caught up with the last few Oglaf strips and discovered some of Brandon B.'s hilarious Slipshine comics. I queued up a bunch of Kyle Baker comics including his infamous Plastic Man run, and picked up the first three issues of Comeback.  I fnished them this afternoon and realized that this was the depth and story I wanted out of Looper.  I might try to queue up the two Scott Smith novels/movie adaptions: A Simple Plan & The Ruins.  Thanks to Jordie on the heads up for that.

This afternoon at about 1pm I fell into an hour A.D.D. digression.  I was tweeting about some new comic concepts, then stopped to do some visual research for a character.  From there I traversed Alias, J.J. Abrams shows, 24, the 1980's, the 1970's, diverted myself to twitter, found out that Kelly Sue DeConnick is working on the new Ghost series, which brought me back to my earlier tweets.  By then my focus was so devastated that I defaulted to following links from twitter into whispy jetees of irrelevance.  I listened to some Coheed and Cambria for a bit while trying to refocus.  January is almost over, one more month go until Winter is over and Spring begins.  In another month I might be moving into a new apartment, my whole world rearranged, mostly for the better.  Next week I'll be trying to participate in Hourly Comics Day for the third year in a row, and then focusing on packing up my life.  So my focus is on making it through February with very few hangups and focusing on some big productivity in March.  Gotta dream big.

Happy Worst Day

*This post is way late because I had a terrible weekend. It was my birthday Friday and not only was I already dealing with my desktop and my laptop going on the fritz, but I also had to work despite requesting the day off. There were plenty of technical difficulties at work as well, but I made it through only to find out my car had taken a crap too. This time I don't think I can fix it, compounded by the fact that I don't have any extra money after my bills are paid. My buddy bought me beer which was the probably the only good thing about the day. On Saturday, not only did I find out I couldn't make a payment for a bill on weekends, but I got so frustrated I punched and broke my phone. So I cut through all the bullshit and just bought a bike to get to work. I rode it all Sunday up to my buddies' house where I caught some much needed company and R & R. Too bad I bruised my ass on the unforgiving, crotch-killing seat. So I'm poised to ride this evil machine to work in a few short hours at the crack of dawn.

 I got my Hungry Cereal Mascot mini in the mail.  And then I started reading Dr. McNinja again and realized I had stopped reading it when I started at my current job.  I read Iron Bound, some of BFF, and finally caught up with Nimona (which is freaking great!). And then today I watched Amb0rg stream and drew a Thor along with her.  Oh, I also watched the rest of Korra.  This was the week I started trying to recover my Zune Gems playlists, and when I started paying attention to Kate Leth (kateordie)
