Recently, I received two pairs of three dollar sunglasses from China(gold-rimmed and blue tinted for one, silver-rimmed and black-tinted for the other) modeled in the aesthetic of the hip 60s. They are rocking the reality of others, who are either convinced that I am John Lennon or Jesus in his hippy phase. I’m partial to the dark ones, and they have an affinity for me(real or imagined, does it really mean anything?); I am having a ball.
You guys seen those electric skateboards? Munroe at xkcd was expounding on their other-wordly qualities(‘specially concerning those folks from exkate), but they are out of my price range currently at 250 to six hundred freakin’ dollars. Also, Randall, I learned Dvorak comparable to my qwerty typing speed in a week and just learned the left-handed Dvorak alphabet this morning, so you can go ahead and be the smartest guy in the world who rides electric skateboards while making computer/physics/generally hilarious comics because I can type using any one of 3 different methods(the third one really slow). Also, I can jump rope pretty good too. PROBABLY...it's been a while(I don't think rope-jumping skills degrade that harshly over time, though. Haven't even hooped a hula in a while. Got to get on that.
Russell Brand, anyone? I dunno how long he’s been kicking it on the comedy circuit, but I ran across a few of his hour-long specials, and he is funneeee. I’m telling you. Right now. If you can get yo hands on his junk, hit it up. He’s also going to be in that upcoming Judd Apatow movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Judd’s stuff makes me guffaw. The two simultaneously will be...pants-dripping, electrifying comedy. Eh?
By the way, sorry about my dumbass bungling of the website design, I’m still gettin’ the hang of updating smoothly. There shouldn't be any mistakes that make you want to shoot yourself in the eye with a spear gun anymore.
I’d like to thank the baker’s dozen of you who read either the comics or the rants, it’s really fun to do and it’s nice to see(believe) that a few people are enjoying it.
I know I already told you guys about how funny Louis CK is, but I just found his Comedy Central Presents production, and...well, that was funny too. REALLY funny. So funny I couldn't express it without capital letters.
If anyone is wondering why I alternate between stick figures and regular real people comics, it's because I didn't know how to draw for nothing(didn't know how to draw as in circles were difficult to approximate(maybe you can tell from my stick figure heads)) till a little while ago and I really wanted to put up the Lion King comic even though it was a chronological fumble. I dunno, by the way, if I have other real people looking comics up there, but the journal ones will pretty much be real people, while the regular comics become real people a little later, in...the thirties or something.
The latest comic I drew was created about 15 degrees counterclockwise to the paper i drow it on. It will look completely normal when I put it up, I just noticed that all the dialogue was off kilter, so I drew the rest of the comic like that. Which is big for me, because of cursive: see, the teachers told everyone to turn their paper to the side if they couldn't get an effective slant out of their handwriting. I could slant my letters fine, but I thought maybe it's easier on the slant. It is not. Every time I turned the paper and tried to write normal, my brain would yell at me and make me twist to face the paper head on or at least hand on so that I was a teeny-twister trying to write. Just imagine some kid curled sideways on his desk whimpering in frustration as his extremely parallel brain refused to help him experiment.
I told my brain that I was going to try this, dammit, and eventually won out. I could already slant the letters though, so moving the paper didn't really change anything.
If anyone noticed any downtime, I was changing servers. All done. Woo.
