Mud on Your Face, You Big Disgrasian: Site of the Month & Laziness Update
This is my fave new blog, bar none. Channel the humorous snark and critical eye of both TWoP and Go Fug Yourself into a blog dealing with the stereotypes and idiosyncracies of Asian cultures and the non-asians who love/laugh at them, and you get Disgrasian. Drink-snortingly funny and intelligent rants, with pop culture and real news sprinkled in for good measure. Are YOU a disgrace to the race? (Whatever race you belong to, I shall not be picky. And check out their profile pages, hilarous.)
Leeshee, you've gotta tune 'Lijah into this, methinks he will laugh so hard. Bless this site; I'm so tired today, and really needed a good laugh to pick me back up.

Update on the lazies: yah, I have not done any art stuff, or scanned in drawings, or done anything remotely productive lately. (Some sketchings, but not nearly enough to appease myself.) Part of it is due to the fact that when I work on personal stuff during lunch or breaks or whenever, I have started having to field awkward comments form coworkers about wht exactly I am doing. So have been pushing doing personal stuff strictly after hours. Add to that the fact that a freelance design project was thrown my way, which will suck out my soul (and more importantly, my time) until the end of this month. (It is a 32 page Visitor's Guide, half of the pages being ads and the rest pages I design.) Super resume piece and contact builder, but stressfull to say the least. The InDesign files of my page layouts are due Monday, but then there are press proofs and other fun things. And as it is freelance and not part of my real job, I get hives of guilt washing over me when I work on it during work hours. (It's bad enough the only time I can have meetings about the guide are during the day, and go on for hours since we can rarely get out schedules to merge well.) So I try to do as much of the guide as I can after hours, leaving little time or energy for anything else creative. (I worked on it 'till 3 last night, highway drove all weekend, and have to maybe usher tonight. When will I get caught back up on sleep? Gah.)
I guess what I am trying to say, and am too tired to try typing in a condensed, non-stream-of-consiousness format, is I am ashamed I have done so little lately, but for once it is not lazines and is actualy a legitimate excuse. But next month, feel free to shame me for being lazy as much as you want. =)
