This is from Wednesday morning when I was up until around 4 a.m from BAD insomnia. Because of the lack of distractions, it’s amazing how much can be accomplished at that time of night. Too bad I need sleep to function, or I’d get a heck of a lot more done!

Damn, long day at work, then off to get ready for Free Comic Book Day! Like many times, things are really good, just so much is going on. I’ve been working out the past few months, so now my brain isn’t as mushy as it once was. The downside is wanting to do so much with the new found energy.
Oh well, there is always something.
This weekend was good, much was done. Monday the same, but in a different way. I’ve posted a new comic for Monday and for a variety of reasons, it took the longest out of all of them to date. Goddamn squirrels, even in ink form they torment me!
Back to the Free Comic Book Day Sampler. It’s coming together, now I just need to get the cover sorted out. I’ve been picking out comics for the Sampler and most of them are from this year! When it comes to goals for right now, I just keep working on the next comic. 100 is my current goal and I hope to reach it before the end of the year. I like the stuff from the past six months a LOT more than the earlier work. Heh, I’m guessing I’ll feel similar to the current work a year from now! Oh well, we’ll see where I take this.
I’ll sum it up quick.
Saturday was the Tornado Benefit at Lenny’s as well as the MINT Show: Windows II. It was a HELL of a lot of fun and just as exhausting. There was great art, great people and more than a few pictures taken. Here is some that we taken by the buxom blonde that bought Angela’s window. I will be posting my pics this week (honest!). I’ll post a link when I do.
Sunday we slept in until about 1 o’clock that afternoon. Oddly enough, it wasn’t because we were drunk off our asses (we were quite sober by the time we came home), nor was it because of watching the Sun come up (we were to bed before 2 a.m.). It was because of the previously mentioned whirlwind of the day. We took our time reading the paper and finally did some stuff around the house.
We took down all the blinds in the house and washed them for the first time since we moved in. It was a pain in the ass job, but things looked much better afterwards. After we got all of that cleaned up, we grilled out and the food turned out great! It was much better than the last time a couple weeks ago, where I burned most of to a cinder.
Today was going to work at the daily grind. I got the work done and managed to do some work on a couple painting projects. I’ve been working on painting the screens for our old metal windows and also fixing up a busted bird bath for Angela’s birdies. Tonight I finished up the Think Weasel comic posted earlier and now I’m tired as Hell.
Time for bed.
Angela’s Window

Finally to Friday. This week has been long and with not enough sleep. It’s been different than the times when it’s just been insomnia though. I’ve been going to sleep with a sense of accomplishment. Angela has been working on some art projects this week, so has Emily. Even I have a comic ready to go up, but it’s on hold for Monday so I can start getting ahead of schedule.
I’m looking forward to the art shows this weekend. I’m also looking forward to doing some stuff around the house. Come to think of it, I need to contact family about the California trip, and…
Yeah, lots of crap going on right now. Time for bed, if I can sleep.
I’ve spent a lot of time recently at work trying to sort out issues with a box that runs an ancient version of Unix. It’s been part of a “odd software and hardware problem” theme that hasn’t let up yet. Looks like they’re getting their money’s worth at least.
There has also been a bit of art recently. Angela has been working on her windows for the shows this weekend, they’re almost done. She will be posting pictures after the dust settles. She also has some rings in progress in her silver class too. I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out. Today I finally finished the Pollen Weasels strip, head over and check it out.
Bleh, time for bed.
