First off, anyone who hasn't read Yotsuba&! is my enemy of freedom and should be subject to horrible torture up to and including Bolgarian Nipple Torture.  There's just something about a 4-year-old running around seeking vengeance with a water pistol that I find hilarious.  HILARIOUS, you philistines!


( Also, here's the finished sampling of The Anticraft thingy I did )

I didn't get as much done over the weekend as I would have liked as far as writing or drawing are concerned.  I did get the inks for ( Page 4 )

( and Page 5 ) completed, though.  That was nice, particularly how page 5 came out.  Can't wait to add the tones and word balloons to that one.

On the February project front...  I've been kinda dragging my feet on it, but I think I'm going to go with an idea I've tinkered with on and off for a while involving Greek mythology.  I know, I just love to nerd it up.  It would revolve around pretty much my favorite figure from that pantheon, Hephaestus (Vulcan to the Romans), and his step-son Eros (Cupid) trying to get Heph and his estranged wife, Aphrodite (Venus) back together.  The reason I'd never done much with the project is because there really wasn't a way to get them together without really savaging the character of one or the other. 

But, leave to Shakespeare to give me ideas, particularly Much Ado About Nothing.  I've read the play and seen the movie, and it's quite fun.  Might rent it over the weekend so The Wif and I can watch it together.  Valentine's Day is coming up, as well as her birthday, AND SHE STILL HASN'T DECIDED WHAT SHE WANTS. 

is HERE!




I am particularly amused by the #1 and #2 indicators.  ^_^  God, I love my subscription to Wired.

All the disparaging remarks made about the Internet are, I believe, made by people who have neither the time nor the inclination to use it properly.

I mean, it's been a slow night tonight, and do you know what I've done?  I've read the first two books in L Frank Baum's Oz series.  And for children's literature written at the turn of the century, they're marvelous stories.  No, really.  Where else do you get scenes of the Scarecrow and Tin Woodman making not-so-subtle threats and dialogue like this:

How the hell did I miss this stuff growing up?

 

Since there was little sleep had this afternoon and even less last night, we now come to the part of our evening wherein I attempt to keep from crashing and passing out atop my keyboard. I blame both 'Supersize Me' and the latest Harry Potter book.

Little Dude did very well in both Speech Therapy and Language Group, repeating words and doing stuff spontaneously. Apparently he said "cookie" quite clearly, and I know he was quite expressive during Speech.

I had a funny idea the other day: CephaloSquad, Octo-Police!

It was funnier yesterday... regardless, my origami Godzilla watches over me.
