My friend Cedra is visiting. That’s my blog today! Have a great weekend. 🙂

05/12/14 Big Deal Of Nothing
Apologies! The server died, but my web-host guy, Corey (and minions) have totally been saving the day! <3Â <3Â <3Â <3
Back up! There may be hiccups over the next day or so while everything is tweaked, but, yay! We’re back up!
I’m writing this post on May 6th, a day before leaving to TCAF. But it’s posting after the TCAF weekend. So, we’ll assume I had a wonderful time with good friends and met a lot of amazing people, as is usually the case.
Oh, and I haven’t yet posted the update to my self-portrait, which I think I worked on May 2nd. i think I added the wall color, the lamp post, and the pussy willow stems. Oil painting is such a slow process. Paint some, wait a week for it to dry, paint some more. Fun! 🙂
05/09/14 Praise For Lamont
Yes, I will be at TCAF Comic Fest, in Toronto this weekend. You’ll find me with the TopatoCo people, with Little Dee and Spacetrawler books for sale. If you can’t make it, know that all of my books and merch are also for sale online at TopatoCo. See you there!
05/05/14 Lamont Collaboration
Had a nice weekend. I made cookies on Friday, gone by Saturday. Trying to plan out the next chapter of the novel, but it’s stumping me a bit. Made pancakes, made burritos, made stew. Rode my bike to play racquetball against myself (while listening to Harry and the Potters, which is what i always listen to while playing racquetball).
Worked more on the “Siblings” painting. I’m liking how it’s coming out.
05/02/14 What Angie Would’ve Done
Been strange weather. low forties yesterday, low seventies today. Ah, spring in New England. Love it.
Went and saw “Noah” with  friend. A real mixed bag. Lotsa’ good stuff, but overall it felt like a mess. Too many characters and too much story, so it felt like nothing was done in depth enough. But, overall it was entertaining.
Oh, and I finally got around to buying a bus ticket for TCAF next weekend (a red-eye. My, won’t I be peaky!). Look for me tabling with the TopatoCo folk!
04/30/14 Sleep is The Answer
I am getting lost further and further in my head these days. Writing writing writing writing.
Now that the weather is nicer, I got one of the old bikes up and running, and rode it to play racquetball. 7 minute biking rather than a 4 minute drive. A FOUR minute drive. To hit a ball against a wall for a half hour. We are such insane creatures. We don’t deserve this planet any more.
Saw “Only Lovers Left Alive” and it was wonderful. I think it might be my favorite Jim Jarmusch yet. And worth it to see it on the big screen. It really is more of an “experience” film than a “plot” one.
Speaking of plot. have I mentioned that I’ve been writing? Oh. I have. Right then.
04/28/14 Two Things Left
So, I renewed my YMCA membership this week. A little more expensive than last year, but racquetball is the only physical activity I’ve found that I seem to enjoy (and thus actually do). But it feels good, I’ve been going in a bunch. In fact, I just dusted off the bicycle, and will be zipping over to the YMCA on that rather than driving there. Yay!
Had another gaming night at my friend Charlotte’s, where I got to play Sheepshead again. I do love a good strategy game, and that has JUST enough to be both strategic but social.
Started a new painting this weekend. One of my two siblings and myself. It’s my first painting where I’ve tried painting on a dark background, and I have to admit, I think I really love doing that. Here’s what I got so far. 🙂
04/25/14 How Long Left
Today I got a ton of stuff done. I had a huge list. Check. Check. Check.
Sometimes when I have a long list of things to do, I find I’ve done something I never put on the list in the first place. I find it VERY satisfying to then ADD it to the list and cross it off.
Makes me wonder who exactly I’m making these lists for. Am I just trying to impress myself? If so, I could have told myself that I was already impressed with myself BEFORE I even STARTED working on the dang list. Would save me a lot of work.
Maybe I’ll just make a list and cross everything off without doing anything on it. THAT my friends is LIVING.
Anyhow, here’s a doodle of Mal (Nathan Fillion) from Firefly for ya.
04/23/14 Feed Scouring
It’s official, I got my approval for a table at the Rose City Comic Con September 20-21 (and don’t forget, I’ll be at TCAF May 9-11, in about 2.5 weeks).
Sadly, today was the last (free at local college) studio drawing until AUTUMN. But happily, I made time and went. Always good to draw different stuff in different styles (ink with washes, straight ink, and pencil). (Drawings covered up because people have asked for that, since they work jobs and such. For the NSFW version, CLICK HERE!)
04/21/14 Wild Higgs Particles
If you’re wondering all about THIS HIGGS DRIVE, there actually is a thorough history written of it by my friend/consultant Fred. READ IT HERE!
Had a nice weekend. Drove with my dad down to visit family in Philadelphia. Found out later that it was Easter, so that was maybe an extra bonus I guess? I got to play some golf, but I didn’t quite get under par.
