The physics of weirdness. I came up with the following today, thinking about the physical "laws" that govern nocona. Don't necessarily consider this canon, but I came up with a "lecture" on exactly why weirdness is such a commodity, perhaps with a little commentary on toon physics in general. Hopefully ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) momentrabbit won't mind me posting this; it's probably more for our amusement value than anything else.

Store and Comic Updates All Booth Seventeen clearance merchandise has been reduced to near or below cost to move.
New Lunch Break comics will resume on Wednesday or Thursday. I am working on pencils for the next few pages, but I overdid it last week and am in so much back pain I can't sit at my desk for the extended time required to ink. I've made room to use an old drafting table, so once I can find a lamp that's neither too dim or blinding, and a way to keep my supplies comfortably at hand, that situation should improve. |

Chapter 7, Page 17 I have to admit it, there are times in which I can see the improvement in my comic writing. The dialogue for Litchvell? I like it. I like this dialogue a LOT. Dungeons & Denizens continues to grow in popularity. And I owe it all to you guys. Expect the inevitable announcement about something very cool, and soon. |

I'd like to firstly apologize for being almost utterly out of contact this weekend. Saturday was my husband's birthday, Sunday was Mother's day and a holy day of obligation (and a day I decided to get mild food poisoning), and today Scott stayed home from work and I wanted to spend some time with him, since we haven't been seeing much of one another lately due to schedules. On top of that, I'm still behind on the webcomic backlog, and I'm going to try and focus on that a little more. Wednesday's page is in my lap now and Friday's is boiling around in my head waiting to be drawn. Unfortunately the sketchbook that I draw The Man Who Was Thursday in has really persnickety paper, and sometimes the paper is wonderful, and sometimes I wonder thy I don't start over in a new sketchbook. Today the paper is almost spitting the pen out that I'm inking it with. Sigh. I've been playing more Oblivion, and my latest bit of fun is making my own enchanted weapons. I bought a super awesome warhammer and enchanted it with the strongest fire enchantment I could find. The end result is that monsters run up to me, I hit them, and they're blasted about twelve feet into the air and die on the way down. I used it for the first time in an arena battle against three monsters, and with one swing they all flew straight up, landed twitching, and died horribly. The only sucky part is that it costs 1500 gold to recharge it, and it depletes fairly quickly. Oh yes, and I've learned that beef + tomato + lettuce + bread = hamburger potion! It actually restores fatigue, but I will forever see it as the hamburger potion. I ransack guild halls regularly and steal every scrap of food I can find, pick every flower I can find, and rip every useful scrap of stuff off of critters, then stuff them into mortars and decanters and tubes and turn them into potions. If I actually had to buy bottles in this game I'd probably be screwed. And the horse often kills monsters before I can dismount, get my bearings, and draw out my weapon. I hope the horse forgives me for that riding off a cliff thing that I do from time to time. Okay, time to unpause Thunderbird 6 and get back to inking. |

Drew some more, but nothing I want to show anyone. I meant to get some comic work done this weekend, but that didn't happen. I did write about ten pages of script, which was nice. I rented Les Mis, the movie, on Saturday. I think it was enough of a shock to my system to clear up my fixation. The writing was very poor; the actors had nothing to work with. What a shame.
Ribbon, my cat, will sit on the windowsill and whine if she sees the neighbor cat, Max, in the driveway. She is a very tiny cat, and he is a big boy cat. We used to have another cat, Dice, who was also very small, but she was a real bitch. We loved her, though. Ever since she died Ribbon has become more and more afraid of going out in the yard, 'cause Max keeps coming over and marking everything. He's an asshole. We had to get a catbox and she only ever goes outside now when there's someone else out in the yard.
Anyway, so tonight she starts yelling; I put on my slippers (which my mom stole a year ago, but I finally took back recently), grab a flashlight, and go look for him. Find him hiding under the front of the Mustang and he books it under the tangerine tree into his own yard. I'm not satisfied with that, 'cause it's dark and he might've doubled back around, so I go over and he's standing right on the other side of the fence staring up at me. That's cool. I start walking back to the house and he lunges a few yards, stops right at my feet, drops into a crouch, and hisses at me. A proper mean hiss. I thought he was gonna jump my leg (which would've been fine since I habitually wear workman's blue jeans), but I yell at him and he runs back to his side of the fence again. We repeated this a couple of times, until I got sick of it and went back inside.
I hate that cat. |

Biggest Asshole in the Bayou City
Every year Houston celebrates general silliness with the artcar parade. People turn cars into works of art they have a big parade. This year featured cars turned into phones, clown shoes, pirate ships, lips, books, and other general nonsense. It's a happy time, it's a fun time. Something you bring the family to and laugh. The last parade was Saturday and there was much merry making.
Yesterday a drunk driver killed the organizer of the art car parade. Pinned him and a friend against the wall. Another friend was knocked clear of the accident. This probably won't affect next year's parade, but there's a guy sitting in jail right now with a city of 4 million people looking to kick his ass. |

Deep Fried Florida Thanks to my mom's offer to babysit, azzychan and I got to see Iron Man at the theatre with some friends. I greatly enjoyed the film's witty humor and interesting updating to the old Iron Man story. Definitely worth a DVD buy when it comes out. Sunday I spent the morning buying some important things to finish unpacking the house. For one, a medicine cabinet for our bathroom ( We don't have one), secondly a towel rack for our bathroom ( We don't have one), and a new filing cabinet for all our gaming stuff and extra office supplies ( We don't have one). What we DO have is a bag of meds, stack of towels, and lose office supplies in need of an organized home. :3 We now have one. Spent Sunday evening at my mom's place. We hung out, I worked on the comic, mom let Azzy and I do our laundry there, and I learned that it takes over 9000 licks to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop. Now I'm trying to finish my comic tonight while watching areas in central florida Burn. :p Yeah, brushfires are back and thanks to our govenor's dumb property-tax savings plan that cut budgets to fire/police/civil programs the fire departments are out of money to do anything about it. Of course many of these people who's homes are burning to the ground supported that tax plan so I guess this is their lesson to learn? And no rain in sight... ...ugh, I hope it's not 1998 all over again. Current Mood:  contemplativeCurrent Music: Dancing with the Stars |

For my dear Chicken Littles..... For all the people in my response board who keep yelling "we have to do something NOW!!!".... "Here are my questions: In 1970, when environmentalists were making
predictions of manmade global cooling and the threat of an ice age and
millions of Americans starving to death, what kind of government policy
should we have undertaken to prevent such a calamity? When Ehrlich predicted
that England would not exist in the year 2000, what steps should the British
Parliament have taken in 1970 to prevent such a dire outcome? In 1939, when
the U.S. Department of the Interior warned that we only had oil supplies for
another 13 years, what actions should President Roosevelt have taken? Finally,
what makes us think that environmental alarmism is any more correct now that
they have switched their tune to manmade global warming?" ---Walter
Williams (http://PatriotPost.US/opinion/entrylist.asp?source_id=39)Perhaps I would listen more to the alarmists if they actually practiced what they preached and demonstrated some actual foresight in their choices. But when confronted with REAL long-term problems--- such as the tangible growing energy needs of a growing nation--- any action that takes longer than an election cycle gets voted down. Upgrade the electrical network? Build generators? Drill for oil in the Gulf or up in ANWR? "But that will take DECADES to pay off!...." And decades have now passed, and we are STILL not tapping into our own energy reserves, and STILL not building new generators, and STILL limping along on an electricity infrastructure that threatens to keel over at any moment, and STILL hearing the same excuse-- "But that will take DECADES to pay off!...." And it isn't nearly as flashy as making dramatic, sweeping, unconstitutional legislative decisions based on momentary panic, either. |
