4058: Feel Visible Matter
So I did this
because kiken et al. have been on a #datMarvel kick of late, and writing stats seemed like a fast, fun cheat for both daily sketches and the bomb that is this year's Nano that I will pretty much only finish by "accidentally" pasting in my text about four times... ¬_¬ [but that's OKAY, because failure is always an option, I've already "won" six times, and I just had better projects taking precedence this year]
I could pretty much do nothing but these effectively indefinitely, which may be what I will have to do in order to get some kind of queue going on the current comic project. I've tenatively scheduled myself to update on the first of the month for each page until I can work out a rhythm, but the amount of time I've had leftover after doing a daily sketch has been dwindling, even WITHOUT a day job... so, really, this is ideal. Already ahead three days! ^o^ I just don't want to get into sketch burnout by putting the same kind of thing up for so many days in a row, but... I figure since I haven't gotten any kind of feedback in that respect, I may as well just do what works best for me 9_9
'CAUSE NO ONE ELSE CARES XB~~~
So, temporarily skipping a diatribe on feminism, 'cause I don't feel like looking again for a link I can't find--remind me if y'all wanna hear what I have to say. [Contrarily, counter-remind me if you DON'T wanna hear--that is, either don't say anything or say specifically, "I don't wanna hear about that"]
BRACK FLIDAY! I maybe wanted to mention that. Thanksgiving was pretty standard--went to the PA house, ate, watched HP 7-2 [and now can't stop thinking about "Hermione's hand sanitizer"--thanks TOBY], almost wrote things, watched The Secret of Kells despite verbal interference [very awesome all the same and a little sad it doesn't seem to have made back its production costs], took home leftovers.
BF, we did the annual Viewing of the Spectacle at Tyson's Corner again. Both days, C got me up about an hour later than expected, and as a result we had a little timing dilemma in terms of trying to get Fawx's bday present to him [here, the one that says "Loser"]. Racing through the mall wasn't really my idea of a good time, especially since we didn't even finish lunch until 3p [Norton's, which is kinda forgettable but low-trafficked], so we ended up killing a LOT of time wandering, sitting [especially after post-DDR lower-leg/foot ache], and finally heading over to his and Metalfox's place and wandering around the Giant there. Got all available Giftmas gifts [one has not been released yet]. Didn't find two things I wanted: a miniature tuba for a joke* [in retrospect, possibly available at the TWO-STORY American Girl but whatevs] and a gallon of chocolate milk. Not even regular chocolate milk--the closest was this thick, almost like melted chocolate ice cream "milkshake" one that was awful to drink.
*I want to do this joke pretty much for the same reason I did Neopet Comics--'cause it's FUNNEH--but the difficulty procuring/cost associated with finding the piece for what I'm planning is slightly prohibitive. Which adds to the Cool factor, but I *do* have better things to do with my time =p which is primarily why I was looking only when I was out on a shopping excursion anyway vs. just ordering the damn thing from Google Shopping, especially since the contest has already closed to new entries anyway [as I said, just for TEH FUNNEH].
The main hitch was in delivering the print, as C accidentally locked his keys in the car, which he realized as soon as both of us slammed the doors. Not fun making all the calls on a dying cellphone battery, but at least he was covered for roadside assistance, and at least at a friend's house is better than on the side of the road somewhere. With car running and engine smoking [as happened once in my neighbourhood].
Otherwise... hum. Nothing else of note, really. My brother's ughing about turning the big 3-0 ["OH WOOK AT DA WIDDLE BABY!" *granny voice*] but currently in Australia for the event... I think I turned 3-0 at Casa del Fawx while watching The Venture Bros. =' BUT EH
Guess I should start cards, but... eh -_- Still SO TIRED... *yawn*
