Thought vomit.
I just finished lettering page 4. Expect it to be up in the next day or two.
I've been thinking about being here in Lincoln, and, lately, it seems to be very good for my creativity...mostly a result of boredom. I guess for me, that's okay, but I also want to have a " life."
See, there isn't a whole lot to do in the Star City that's of any cultural interest. It's not a complete void, but truely interesting things don't come around too often; at least nothing that I've been able to uncover on a regular basis. Plus, it's been really hot, and I don't want to leave. Next, I try to think of things to do around home. I don't have a ton of posessions, so it's not like there's a lot to fall back on. Plus, no TV. So I turn to art. You might have noticed the spurt of effort put into Revolt! Puppy, lately.
Like I said, I enjoy this, so it's not so bad. The problem is, art is generally a one-man effort. Anyway, if I did need a second hand, Jen's not the most outwardly artistic (she does manage some pretty charming drawings when she puts some effort forth, and she's pretty creative; but art-my art, anyway-is just something that doesn't interest her too much) person around. So, basically, the things I think are kinda fun, she thinks are kinda boring. And anyway, I like to get out of the house for a few hours a day.
Plus, I like having important things to talk about. Rather than blather on about the latest Ben Affleck rag scandal, I'd rather talk about more things relevant to my life. I don't want to talk exclusively about me, because I'm also interested in what other people are doing. But, my point is, I always feel like I need to be accomplishing things, so that I have something interesting to talk about. Maybe that is a little self-serving.
End of free flow of thoughts.
Last night, I got my photo taken twice for dancing at the "Welcome Students" midnight dance last night at UNL.
Right now, however, it's pretty nice out, so Jen and I are going to go out and enjoy ourselves with some downtownin' action.
