well, it warmed up, no snow on the driveway
but i've heard there'll be more sometime soon
more freakin shoveling
but, as davey pointed out
it's not like i have anything better to do.

he then said -
it's fun being us...huh?

it made me feel more grown up than i usually do
which wasn't so bad.

still stuck on the dialogue.
i just don't know what to put down.
it'll come to me.
one way or another.

so there's been snow lately.
lots of it.
and i've been shoveling it for the past two nights.
because night is when my dad gets home on this shift,
and no shoveling, no getting up the driveway
besides which, noone is in any condition to shovel but me
and i guess exercise is good.
i will be hurting tomorrow morning.
i ate the last cup o' noodle
it was yummy

i talked to beth the other day
which i haven't in a while
so that's good
got her new email addy
which i had, then lost somehow
in the process of new computer getting, or otherwise
i'm not sure.

it's so sad, a week or so ago, they had to put her dog to sleep
no wonder he was acting odd
they said he only had a couple weeks left anyway
so they did the humane thing
he had been a racing dog
very pointy, that dog
and they had adopted him when the greyhound racing people tossed him out
he'd had a tough life, and they made it better
so, way to go beth and her family.

now that i've depressed everyone (or at least myself)
i should think of something to say to help lift the mood.

hmm. well, what's making me laugh right now is this excerpt from a jamalpost-

I picture this as an old looney tunes spring-loaded-boxing-glove-in-a-box type things.

"Oh boy, my prize!"
*POW*

bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

an explanation for non-listees-
prize refers to the prize for getting the most posts last month
(there is no such prize for any month ...except smarch)
it was decided that the prize is a punch in the face.

oh, how it makes me laugh!

okay, onto more stuff
i got the rest of the comic kinda mapped out when i talked to beth
at least a whole bunch better than i had
and i can tell that it's a whole bunch better
when i'm looking at things differently from when i was stuck
and all of a sudden, things feel flowy again.
i still don't know exactly what to put for dialogue
ah well. i'll figure it out.

counterfeit faker
the damage has been done

my, that's a nifty song

unless my ears decieve me
there are 3 english words in white reflection
which i'm listening to right now
which is why it comes up
anyway, as i hear it, this is what they are-

reflection

never-ending story

technically 4 words, yes.

anyway, didn't do much today.
but i did post again
and this one made me feel intelligent
cause i was all talking about jazz with jim k.
it's nice to feel like i'm intelligent for once.

i got to see a monty python special on a&e tonight.
i've seen it before, so it's not really that big a deal that i missed part of it
eddie izzard hosted half of it, and meat loaf hosted the other half.

man, i should own some eddie izzard videos.

went to the video place
bought the earthworm jim video
am now broke
but now have earthworm jim cartoons on video.

the thing about techno is
some of it is total crap
but some of it is pretty well put together
i don't know, maybe it's that i tend to teach myself how to play things
and i have to listen to things to figure them out.
like, i was just thinking of how the percussive bit,
your basic cymbal thing,
would translate to a guitar.
rather well, i think.

but enough of that for now.
today is the first day in the past couple that i haven't done any work on the comic.
well, yet.
i might, but it's more likely that i'm just gonna go to bed.
if i fail to sleep, i'll just watch cartoons and work on the comic.

i should read, too.

well, i'm feeling a bit better ^_^

and i've got a name for the lead viking
i don't know that i'll name the others
i will if the story requires it, of course
now all i have to write is the "meanwhile" bit
and any dialogue i may decide to put in.

i'm gonna make a poster
it's gonna say-
dan: he's legal in most places

other projects dan could take on-
making a medley of little bits of songs that i will re-write with a charles in charge theme
learning to play white reflection on the accordion

now you see, if you know what white reflection is, you know why that's ridiculous
it's japanese techo, the closing theme from the gundam wing movie
endless waltz
(you must see this!
it is important enough for many exclamation points,
though i have only used one!
it's terrible that they didn't put that back!
especially since i didn't get to watch most of the uncut version at midnight!)
the song's in japanese, as follows with being japanese techno,
and i know no japanese
and it's techno, which is prolly hard to play on an accordion
for oh so many reasons.

yeah, so i got white reflection on napster
gave long tall weekend a break for a sec
felt it needed it
partly because it was being bitchy
and partly because i was tired of it being bitchy

aside from better, i am also feeling sleepy
and so, am going to bed.
goodnight ^_^
