so i went with phil and beth (not listee beth) to this puppet show.
we went to papa gino's for pizza first, and they got caught up on my comics,
as always happens when we go get pizza.

the pizza was tasty, they liked the comics...

on to the puppet show:
first of all, the definition of puppet has grown very loose. there was only like, 3 acts with actual puppets.
it was funny, one of them was trying to be all deep, but just ended up looking frightfully dumb. at least the other one's were trying to be funny, it's ok when you try to be funny and fail, but when you try to be deep and fail... oh, that's just not good. the people laughed at these acts, like, way too much... as if there were some inside joke that we weren't a part of. the last one was pretty good though...
there were musical interludes by this guy who was funny looking, and wasn't too great.
there was this one song he wrote about a friggin streetlamp that he saw one time! he started singing it, and a few lines in, me and beth shot each other this look that said, in a way "why did he write this?" which was just funny.
he was really weird looking, and he changed his wardrobe before each musical interlude. a little bit later, phil asked me if i wanted to go to a tmbg show in boston tomorrow night! i'm going to see tmbg! they kick lots and lots of ass, like, enough to choke something that has a gigantic throat! woo!

in other news...
happy birfday to nathan! woo-hoo!
^_^

it was beth's birthday not long ago (listee beth, that is)
happy birthday to her, and stuff.
we talked accordions, it was neat
i felt like i knew something!
(i don't actually know anything, beth is just cool)

why is everyone trying to kill me?
that is incredibly uncool of them.
stop trying to kill me, everyone!

davey, the other day helped me finish a comic i'd drawn.
(oh yeah, i did another comic! yay!)
thanks, davey! the dancing clams are in the comic!

you know, i can actually think of three people who i know *aren't* trying to kill me...
that's so nifty!
one is me,
another is my love,
and rounding it out to three, colleen!

speaking of which, woo! go colleen!
i was the 500th person to visit your blog, apparently!
you win your aunt's accordion!
(just push her down and take it,
wear a mask she won't know it's you,
and i hear she's not been all that nice anyway)
^_^

i'm working on the next comic in the series now.
it's gonna parody a bunch of anime shows, it's gonna be ridiculous
i'll prolly have a lot of fun drawing it ^_^

i actually was awake for pokemon this morning!
yay! and it was on twice!
and i was awake for dark shadows as well! go me!

to go to maine,
or not to go to maine?
that is the question.
i'm guessing not. i don't really feel like going.
i'd miss my darling,
i don't dig the car ride up or back,
i have to get that application in right quick if i want the job,
and i don't get to draw comics, since i leave all that stuff at home.

i feel kinda bad, though,
i think i said i was going.
maybe, if they're still here, i will.
they prolly aren't, though.
ah well, there's always next time,
and i really should stay and try to get that job
being as it's the only thing i've seen that i would care to do
and i need money
cause, you know, i don't have any.

i'm gonna go sleep now, i think.

haven't blogged in a few days
that's ok, nothing much has changed.
maybe i'll go do a comic soon
i hope so

a poem would be nice

ah well, i do comics, and until
poetry starts flowing out of wherever it flows from,
comics i will do
(or try to anyway, i mean, i've not done any in a few days
i'll try tonight)

there's a hole in my green cardigan, dammit!
it's prolly mad at me cause i washed it.
it's only a little hole on the elbow... i hope it doesn't grow.

it was davey's birthday not long ago
the 13th to be precise.
yay davey!

um... umm... ummm...

went to nyc a couple days ago
my friend lauren can't get to manhattan, apparently
(that happened to be where she wanted to go, so it would seem)
we saw the closed bronx zoo,
went over the gw bridge,
and were stuck in rush hour traffic,
which wasn't so bad, actually
guess i was just timed right or something
you know, before it gets all not movity
i don't know

blah blah blah

ok, i'm gonna go read comics and then go try to draw something.

sara, sara
so easy to look at, so hard to define

i got dylan's song "sara" on napster last night.
it makes me want to drink myself to death.
i can't stop listening to it, it's gorgeous and sad.
though i prolly should, it's not helping the comic process any.
i'll stop right after i learn how to play it.
(i'm on the way to that now, so it shouldn't be so very long)

sara, sara
sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life

my friend lauren one time was complaining to me how there are no songs with her name in it, or about her or anything...
somebody finally wrote one... i think it was to make her be quiet.
lauren does talk alot, but that was a joke.

sara, sara
it's all so clear, i could never forget
sara, sara
lovin you is the one thing i'll never regret

i'm wearing my thundercats shirt today! go me!
i should go around yelling ho! and see if anything cool happens
still need to repaint my nails
i should prolly just do it now
i'll do it later

sara, sara
wherever we travel, we're never apart
sara, oh sara
beautiful lady, so dear to my heart

i'm starting to feel like doing some comics now...
i need to work on drawing boobies, shoulders, and arms correctly on the same person
i never claimed to be able to draw anything
(actually quite the opposite, i warn everyone that i can't draw)
but this is getting kinda bothersome
*sigh* i'll get it right... eventually

sara, sara
you must forgive me my unworthiness

erin mckeown is still in the discover section of napster.
i've seen her live.
it's nice to see things going well for her, though i don't believe i've actually met her personally,
just seen her and been, you know, in the same room.
she's short.
like, erika is a towering giant compared to her.
no, i'm not exaggerating all that much ^_^

ok, to finish, i'll leave a bit of the verse *and* the entire chorus
and thank my love
and anyone else who these words fit...

you always responded
when I needed your help
you gimme a map
and a key to your door

sara, oh sara
glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
sara, oh sara
don't ever leave me, don't ever go

thank you
^_^

i'm muy tired right now.
i should go to bed

no, not bread, bed.

which reminds me...
"not only is it not bad, it's knot bread"

anyway, i'm gonna try to draw a comic in a bit, i think.
maybe i'll just go to bed,
but i'd like to try to keep this non-slumpiness going.

so it's comic reading time...
i do well when i read some before i try to draw some
helps get the creativity moving.

i'm also gonna repaint my nails.
same color...
a hello kitty blue called innocence.

finally, i was able to save a picture i scanned as a jpg
this is good, because it means maybe i can do something
as far as the site goes... man, that thing needs work.
i'll do some, things are looking alright for it.

me go read comics now
and continue to need sleepies
