01/02/13 Potty-Bot’s Report

01/02/13 Potty-Bot’s Report

Oh my goodness. We have DSL through [REDACTED evil phone carrier]. On Friday it went down, and they have given us the worst run-around. Several phone calls, hours of phone time (mostly on hold). Still awaiting. And so I’m writing my blog in the warmth of my office before I walk to the library (which is closed on New Year’s Day, along with everything else) and upload it from the doorway. Ah well. Life’s not that hard, really.

We had a quiet little New Years. I was still a bit out under the weather, and we’d had no set plans, so we just had a cozy little celebration at home. But it was warm and sweet.

But it was an odd New Years for me. More than in the past it inspired me to really sit down look back at 2012 and to think about where I am and where I want to be. I feel contemplative and unsure. Hrm.

Anyhow, I hope you all had a fun and safe New Years. Best wishes to you all for 2013 and thank you for the warm wishes given to me.

12/31/12 Chasing Qwahntoo

12/31/12 Chasing Qwahntoo

For those of you who have been asking about the translator, I tossed in the answer there for you. Perhaps a bit late in the game, but why not.

Well, hard to pass by a winter without getting some flu, and I definitely had something, but it was fortunately very mild. Brain fog, snotty, and weak, but I don’t think I had a fever.

Yup. This past several days I’ve mostly sat in the morris chair drinking weak tea and watching a bunch of Anne of Green Gables and Little House on the Prairie while sick. Because I’m silly-hearted that way. Ah well.

Fortunately I finished doing most of the work on the strip just as I was going into the sick, and so was able to finish it up. And now I’m pretty much out of the sick, so getting Wednesday’s strip done won’t be a problem.

We had hoped to go up to Montreal for New Years, but the apartment move kinda’ juggled finances and we’ll have to go some other date. Ah well. Maybe we’ll go to Saratoga Springs, they’re having a big celebration there. Or maybe just relax at home with the kitties and brownies and tea.

12/24/12 – Brawling With Ites

12/24/12 – Brawling With Ites

So, not something I usually do, but I’m going to take off the holiday and so there will NOT be a strip on Wednesday. I’ll post something, a blog and perhaps a drawing, but no strip. I’ve been working too hard and I’m going to take the holiday which most people take. I guess that’s fair.

On other “glorious” news, it has been brought to my attention that even though I just did a strip on planet Uranus… that Nogg and Zorilla already passed Uranus in Late September. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that, but I’m pondering it. Most likely I’ll change it to Neptune and rewrite the dialogue and see if I can pull it off without re-drawing. Add it to my list of things to fix before book #3 goes to printer. I’ll keep you posted when I do.

All is well here. My sweetie and I drove out to visit the family over the weekend, and now we’re just going to sit around and for the first time, just enjoy out new place for a couple days and chill out.

That sounds like a very very VERY good plan.

Happy Holidays to all of you.

12/19/12 Who’s Driving

12/19/12 Who’s Driving

Funny to draw this one, and realize that not only is this ship missing the driver’s seat, but also there’s a crashed land hover glider in it (even though it is barely shown, just a tad in panel 2 and 10).

Monday I did indeed take a weekend day. My sweetie and I walked downtown and entertained ourselves at the library flipping through art books and books on Ecuador and Denmark. We cleaned and made non-dairy butter. I built a small shelf which attaches to our bed. A good day.

03/12/12 The Ite Conspiracy

03/12/12 The Ite Conspiracy

In case it SOMEHOW slipped your mind, Eebongbong is the planet the Eebs originated from.

Ah, book #3. Off with a bang.

Pre-press continues on for Spacetrawler book #2. The funds become available to me later this week, and I’m still on schedule to send it off to the printer on the day my account is credited. So, booh-yeah on that.

Tired (been hitting the pre-press hard), but life continues well. Made some bread yesterday. Puttering away at writing a new cookie recipe. Still playing racquetball with my friend Kim (which has been a keen highlight for me).

Spending downtime with my sweetie watching bleak films from Scandinavia. The Swedish (well, and the British as well) Wallander series is great. And “Terribly Happy” was terribly good. I was a bit disappointed with “Kissed by Winter,” felt it was trying too hard, too polished (but pretty and well acted). I wasn’t very excited about “Varg Veum” either (although I only watched one episode). Looking forward to trying the “Irene Huss” series. If you count Iceland in there, “Jar City” and “101 Reykjavik” were both very good. “As It Is In Heaven” may be my favorite recently, although I can’t say technically it’s the best movie of the lot, I think it’s the sweetest and most interesting storytelling-wise.
