...and now for something completely different.

things are slightly better, but i will get back to that list at some point. now, some points that nag:

please enjoy the brokeness of my keyboard. i have a bad shift key and can only occasionally be bothered to go out of the way to capitalize.

please also enjoy some new music. heh heh. i'd call this selection "brit chicks".

i hate facebook. it is stealing my soul and i cannot have that. i have stuff i gotta do and it's not helping at all.

what do i have to do? i need to find a job. nothing online is not a scam for personal info and no one wants to meet in person, except places who want you to work on commission. you know, i coulda done that...back when there was someone else bringing in money here, but that is a long gone thing.
i also have some "creative endeavors" to attend to. they are:

a writing bit. time to exercise the writey part of my brain. this is a fun project i am inspired to write pretty kwickly. (yep. the letter "cue" is busted, too.) i am however a little stuck right now. i'll pick it back up tomorrow, i think.

some retooling on the old windy city minicomic from waaay back in 03. why? i need to finish it finally and maybe see the dang thing in real print.

finish up that 12 page story for dimestore and get it over with. it's long past time. i worked awfully hard to get that deal and i hate that i've not been able to fulfill it yet. once it prints, i'm free to go somewhere on that project.

get a new comic underway. one that a new collaborator wrote and wishes to see completed soon. it's over 100 pages so, wish me luck there. heh.

then, with same new collaborator, a new one shot with bandit and his creation, dyna girl.

maybe more, but really, that stuff above looks like 10 years worth of work. i ain't that young.

one more exciting update... finally found the dread drain pipe that needs replacing. it's further down that i woulda thought. my previous excavations musta missed it by inches. thanks to my secret helper on that. gonna need a digger thing-like machine. maybe we'll have it dug up and fixed soon. i've waited forever, so i'm not super patient anymore. i have been pretty damn patient to get this far, frankly.

next up, maybe that second list. oh--and if i don't get back here before valentine's day...i hate that effin day. i've been dumped on that occasion TWICE! see how i decided to capitalize that? it must be pretty important for me to say, huh? well, i will continue the hating of that day...you do as you please.

Slightly better sounds like a big improvement!

Just keep grinding away at that list and pretty soon you'll have it done.

Facebook is best in small doses. I did not know you used that, so I have now friendsed you on it.

I just passed the initial phase of my job application with Interac, so if I don't get into graduate school in the States I'll just study in Japan while working with them (plenty of vacation time and great moolah).

I'm not a big fan of valentine's day either, so on that day I always brought in some bags of mixed chocolates which I gave out to all my classmates. Not getting cards/candy on that day is lame.

Maybe this will make you feel better. What are the differences between these two pictures?

lol thanks for that, rob. those pictures do indeed seem...dissimilar. hm. what could be the difference? oh, shoot! women are actually present and are part of the process that dictates their treatment and value in that second picture, right?
i guess it's easy for a group of old men to stand up to deny every single woman in this country the right to assert her free will and sovereignty over her own body, so i wonder why they aren't as interested in or support at ALL a woman's effing right to ensure that she earn as much effing money as a man in order to support the children these same effing men would have her to bring into the world!
*pantpantpant*
you know how to get me going, dude. lol
thanks jake. i'll hop on over, slavishly, to inspect the minutia of 60-70 of my closest friend's lives...and make another friend while i'm there. lol

Glad to be of assistance, Gin! This is better than Cardio kickboxing, eh?

On the other hand, if you want to feel better about hating valentine's day, here's a few words from St. Valentine himself via The Onion:

I Wish I'd Spent Valentine's Day Eating A Prix Fixe Dinner, But I Was Too Busy Getting Beheaded

As far as I'm concerned, this
