so, i'm kinda ambivalent about the work situation for now, i didn't get the promotion, but my boss did agree to get the other owner off my ass, so now we're back to the pre-May status quo, which is acceptable for now.
unfortunately, things are really stupid at the moment, the other owner has cracked-down on overtime, because he thinks it is a waste of...

it's a world of compromise and "good enough" and mediocrity. the man who pushes beyond the standard is just a fool until he is strong enough to never ask for help again.

For those who don't know, I live with two roommates. Neither were home tonight. I was in the living room, cutting up reference photos for my comic and watching SAVED! or, better put, listening to and glancing up at it, when suddenly, I heard some odd noises coming out of Lindsay's room.
It sounded like a body falling into the room. Like someone...

The Hagakure that I read was the Umass Library's copy, translated/edited by Takao Mukoh.
I think the basic lesson of both translations is the same: calm acceptance of events beyond your control. The connotation of "weathering the storm" makes more of a value judgement about the rain than I think either translation makes. If anything, I would say that Wilson's translation, rather than Mukoh's, casts rain negatively, saying that despite the rain one should have the wherewithall to follow through without breaking stride, while I readk Mukoh's in, as you say, with more Taoist overtones, simply saying that the rain is beyond one's control and should be accepted as it comes, with no reference to any goal which the rain may impinge upon,

I have decided to upgrade THE DEVILS REJECTS to one of my all-time favorite movies. I can cite numerous specific reasons for this, but I would prefer not to ruin the movie for anyone else; the major reason being, that this is a movie that you really need to experience, not be told about.
It took a fuck-ton of guts for Rob...

Aw, you made me a favorite. You totally get a back rub for that..

Until you brought up this apparent anomaly, I was not aware, now look:
"You know what my very favorite part of a woman's body is? That broad, flat expanse between the belly button and the top of the, uh, sex parts. And you have like an acre of it. "
"I love this pic too. Waaait a minute, there's no belly button! This is a clone! I want the real deal!"
Those are some comments from my set. Hah.

i am probably the sickest i have been in a year or two right now and i am bullying myself to keep working.
i can barely keep my eyes open. my movements are sluggish, when i breathe in too fast, i start coughing... and yet i refuse to lie down.

do not run yourself down and get worse. take a day or two and GET BETTER. you will only hurt yourself making yourself work through it.

Come to Jersey and I'll cook you whatever you want. Unless it's something with mushrooms. You're on your own then.
And you can eat it while watching the movie.

For my grandmother..she passed away a year ago from cancer. She loved growing flowers, as does my mom, so we bring some down fairly regularly.

I'm not really one for cemetaries either; they tend to upset me and I don't handle things like that well. Death, like illness, is one of those things that I ignore and pretend it doesn't affect me.
I was really quite close to her, and I know it means a lot to my mom, so I go.

the thing i love the most about the living room is that you can totally tell it used to be a hearth n' kettle in the '80s.
okay, so you've been waiting since december to get it on with this absolutely amazing chick and tonight is the night. she's got pale skin and beautiful eyes and her body is calling you, the pheromones are rocking and she wants it, she's screaming for it, your both naked as you can get and she's on her back, legs gently spread apart, urging you in...

what the hell is up with that? 
working on the comic quite a bit tonight, i knocked a few very signifigant compositional issues loose. i'm listening to some sad music. sad music makes life worth living. sad music has soul like oranges have orange juice (if you squeeze tonight enough, it all pours out).

I don't have a functioning scanner, so I needed to take a picture of the picture I wanted to post. So the image quality sucks.
But I think it speaks volumes.

I just sneezed really hard and both of my front teeth flew right out of my mouth!
Seriously, I have two temporary crowns on my front teeth and they've been getting more and more loose all month, until, just now, I sneezed with Herculean might and they both fucking flew out of my mouth!!!

i'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Are you going to InFest or Hootinany? I don't know if I can handle both. I'm too much of an old fart for all day festivals.
