I had a pretty cool vacation-ish thing with my friend from California, though I'm convinced Maine was trying to kill me.
First, route 1, route 1A, and the route 1 bypass decided to gang up to make me drive around in circles and cross about five lanes of traffic with nothing more than a stop sign between me and certain death. Then there was all this seaweed on all these rocks that decided I really needed to take a dip in the freezing cold ocean. Luckily, it only succeeded in getting my right foot wet. But I did crush a few barnacles and I'm sure their children will be knocking on my door looking for revenge any day now :c And finally, I ate something called crab-encrusted haddock. That's... fish, with crab baked onto it. It was like if a crab had sex with a fish and something unholy was born. It actually tasted pretty good, but I'm pretty sure the fishcrabness of it all nearly killed me. And then there was a huge thunderstorm in the middle of ROUTE 1/ROUTE 1A/ROUTE 1 BYPASS: THE SEQUEL. And then an old lady in a gift shop gave me a dirty look.
In Providence, we found a giant dead bird in the street and the word FLESH gratified in red paint (OR WAS IT BLOOD?). Providence was pretty sketchy. Sorry to any Rhode Islanders out there, but your state capital scared me a little :C I walked the Freedom Trail for the first time, and Sarah tried every beer in a pub except Sam Adams and I had possibly the cheesiest mac and cheese at that place... We also spotted a couple of ladybugs humping. Then we went to NYC and spent a little time in Central Park, where two squirrels chased each other around, then settled their differences and ganged up on a couple of children. It was awesome.
So now Sarah's gone back to California and I'm left with plenty of time to be a nerd and, uh, maybe get my portfolio in order because I have an interview next week and oh god I need a decently organized portfolio D:
Aside from that:
You know you play too much L4D when your not-remotely-nerdy mother walks into the room, glances at your computer screen, and says, "I think you need an automatic weapon, kiddo. That shotgun's not doing it for you."
And Leverage? Leverage is a black hole full of meth wrapped in gold and dipped in sugar and gummy-bear dreams. It's amazing and I've been enjoyably drowning in it and having bits of my brain compressed into a delicious candy-flavored quantum singularity. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.
And finally, in celebration of the new season, I bring you a doodle I did of Captain Yesterday, of New Justice Team fame. I've got one of Cloberella that's about half-done and a sketchy one of Super King, so those may get finished some day, but for now, have the one who's super fast and from the past: Captain Yesterday!
Plus, a
really nice review of the original Avengers, because that show was awesome.
