Here, But Not Really Here

I am still hungover from Tylenol PM. Took some last night and slept from 9pm-7am, but somehow I don’t feel well rested. Also? Those meth lab jerks have ruined it for the rest of us. Phenylephrine is far inferior to pseudoephedrine when it comes to the act, nay, the art of decongesting. At least I can breathe through my nose now. And my creative juices are trickling again. In a fit of anger - inspired by creepy people and irritating events - I took this self-portrait. Which would’ve been more effective if I hadn’t been wearing the respirator upside-down. Oh wells. Today I will complete my first full month of the 365days project, and I’m pretty stoked about that.

Five more good things:

  • The artwork of Trish Grantham is so adorable. I would love to purchase many of her lovely paintings. Sadly her domain seems to have expired. Doh.
  • Geeking out! The final issue of Y: The Last Man was just released, but I’m with Eve on comics…I prefer to collect ‘em all in a trade paperback, rather than single issue. But it’s going to be soooooooo hard to wait until June 3rd to find out how it all ends. At least we should know more about the movie adaptation(s) by then.
  • Lately I’ve been playing analog Scrabble with friends, along with online Scrabulous. Both are improving the quality of my life. But Scrabble doesn’t give me more health points. I wonder if this proximity t-shirt would help?
  • I’ve been a long-time Adrian Tomine (of Optic Nerve) fan, but somehow I completely missed the relase of Shortcomings last Fall.
  • Thao Nguyen’s We Brave Bee Stings and All was released on Tuesday. She’ll be touring to support it, and even stopping back in Minneapolis, despite the abysmal turnout for her last show here (J and I comprised fully half of the audience).
30/365, like an onion

Bonus: Apologies to my RSS readers (who likely aren’t even seeing this). I hope to have the RSS issues sorted soon, including a redirect from the old to the new.
Plus: There will be no cupcakes this Saturday (resuming on the 9th) but there will be the 11th Annual Stupor Bowl - an alleycat race organized by the Minneapolis Bicycle Messengers. Some friends are racing. I’ll stick with spectating.
And: My friend Adam just picked up a Fisher Price PXL-2000 camcorder. The possibilities are endless.

    I think that you’ll find ‘Shortcomings’, while still very good, a little different than what we’ve come to expect (based on previous works) of him. Not different bad, just different. Cheers.

    I was wondering why you were missing from my reader…

    “[C]reepy people & irritating events”? I wish you would expound more here!

  4. Dude, you GOTTA get the meds behind the counter. You can still get pseudoephedrine without a prescription; just ask the pharmacist for it. Don’t let the meth heads stop you from getting an effective Nyquil buzz!
