Trip.

I will be back in Wisconsin from September 3rd to the 10th, hopefully working on some new tablet drawings for comics. I don't think I'll be posting, since my parents are the only people in the global north that still use dial-up. Also, my cell phone only works in one corner of the house and only for receiving texts.

It will be blissful.

While I'm gone, y'all should go the First Friday trolley hop and check out the show at NuLu. I have a piece in it (guess which one! it won't be hard.) and it's curated by my pals Hallie and Aron. Also, go to the Clay Buffet because they are awesome and will have DJs. I will be drinking Spotted Cow with Jenny at Genna's, wearing a hoodie and making fun of baby college students.

Blah blah blah new zine blah blah.

That's right, Milkyboots #5: Summer 2008 Diary is out now. You can order it on my etsy site: Sirop Du Ingenue Shop. It's also for sale at Cherry Bomb or you can buy it from me directly (or trade me for a drink or artwork).

I haven't had time to do another blog comic, so I hope y'all will accept a list as a substitute. I made it in an attempt to de-stress.

Things I don't need to think about for the next week:

-the logistics of moving a cat, a bike, a sewing machine and myself to Portland
-exactly how gay I am
-girls
-boys
-artwork for the split with JWoolard
-artwork for the $10 art show
-whether or not I can actually afford a work off week
-whether or not I'm gaining weight
-being re-addicted to caffeine
-whether or not I'm fucking with anyone's heads
-buying groceries
-money
-rent, phone bill, LG&E
-all the other stupid inane stuff I worry about

True story!

This really happened, and I have no idea who did it. It wasn't Megan O. or my temporary roommates.

No, really. Don't.

The thing in my right hand is supposed to be a pear. Seriously, don't ride your bike like this. I'm cruising for a bruising, and not just of my fruity snack.

I am not feeling settled enough to write anything substantial, but I should mention that I have had a lot of stuff going on the last week and a half and have a lot more going on this weekend. Mostly good things, but still, my head may explode.

10 for 21

-Interstellar 5555 (The pilot's hair is amazing! I wish mine looked that awesome.)
-Allan Hough and serendipitous SF connections
-homemade oven fries
-temporary roommates/big slumber parties at my house
-Ray's serving beer
-my new, half-assed tattoo
-Derek's bug collection
-vegan mocha
-red wine with ice cubes (yeah, i'm trashy)
-Cursive "Staying Alive"

L.B.F.

No, don't worry, I didn't almost get hit. Have a good weekend.
