i'm over it.
i think i was bummed out over that review for a day, but that was it.
they're critics, it's their job to rip someone a new asshole right? it was a fair critique of my early work by two people who just don't have the same sense of humor as me.
and if i recall correctly, i can pick who reviews my...

i thought it was a good idea too! see you tonight most likely!
this morning we discovered that the missing kitty is stuck 30 ft up a neighbor's tree.
poor, poor kitty.
too many electrical wires to put up a ladder, no branches to climb, the fire department doesn't do cats, and animal control is closed on mondays.
poor, poor kitty.

If that's what it took to cure you ...
bad news, i've been denied by the paper that's been publishing my comic strip for the last year.
i'm going to have to review the terms of my contract with them and then figure out who to submit to next.
anyone have any indie periodicals to recommend?

this morning it took me 10 minutes to get a freakin' paper out of the box down the street, and the only reason i got one at all was because someone intervened and managed to get the box open herself.
convenience i'm willing to pay for: home delivery
then, i left for work...

larry:
Your not breaking anything to me.... From the second I left I knew that he would be a motherfucker when it came to keeping in touch.
The reality though, is that I have made more contacts in the last two months then I did in five years in eugene. I know he thinks he can do it all on his own, but the world doesn't fucking work that way.
Contacting larry is like pulling the teeth of a god. (You know that you wont be able to do it, no matter how hard you try, but that doesn't stop the fact that they have a big fucking cavity).
Basically what I am saying is that he would be a stuipid mother fucker to not stay in contact with me. Period. I already have the names of publishers, printers, and galleries that would like his shit, and i haven't even been here three months. Basically by not contacting me, he's forgoing a possible "in" into the largest art scene in the nation.
But, that's Larry. His ego won't allow him to simply sit his ass down and write an old friend. I don't know why he's like that, but I do know he's like that...
I'm not trying to be an asshole about the whole sittuation. Rather, I'm just seeing it how it is... There are a million and one great fucking artists in this world (Larry is one of them), but 99% of them wont let someone give them a chance (larry is one of them). Basically he would be stupid not to write me...
.......that;s why I am such a bastard with everyone he knows.
He's basically passing up a chance by not staying in touch, and in all honesty, that's his choice. But, by doing so, he's making a bad fucking choice. You know, shooting himself in the foot (with a 12 gauge shotgun for that matter).
Crossword:
Yea not having a crossword must suck. I never thought of that.

nothing quite like someone being gone for the better part of the summer, for you to realize how much time you spend together.
and how much time you want to spend with them.
anyway, work is alright. not too many bumps in the road of middle management yet.

watched constantine last night. keanu didn't ruin the movie for me, but i had so much build up of the "aesthetically beautiful" that i was actually a little disappointed. oh well.
tripledead called me at 2am this morning. it was something like 11:30am where he is. i was pretty stoked to talk to him, but a little sleeping during. unfortunately we got cut off, but...

lemuria:
just dont go grocery shopping hungry. never a good idea.
I my work experience being told "I'm not interested" means "I'm interested but I won't take you seriously until you ignore my multiple rejections and keep coming back at me." They want to be sold, deep down, they want to say yes, they just need your help, which comes in the form of your persistence. But the absolute hardest part is dealing with that rejection and then coming back for more. When I am rejected I feel it in my chest and I have an overwhelming urge to crawl away and hide under something safe. I have to build myself up and act confident to be able go back to that person and pitch them again. And maybe again. And possibly again. Talk about ego destruction. I operate under the principle that as long as their still letting me talk, some part of them wants it; the prospect is free to hang up on you or tell you to leave. Or the editor didn't tell you to never resubmit. But getting the sale/publication/deal/etc. is the reward, and totally worth it. Or at least I tell myself that.
But I am on extended vacation right now, and am very recharged. I have optimism to spare. And share. Even though I'm a stranger I'm telling you that you can do it. Your comics are good. And if you can find it in your heart to keep trying, you will succeed.
Do I sound like Stuart Smiley? (Im a good person, Im worthy, and dog-on-it, people like me.) Probably more like a sleazy salesman (Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross!!! ABC! Fuck, David Mammet makes the best fucking films!)
I think I saw Henny Penny in Portland anyway. On someones coffee table maybe
Have a great weekend.
