La Dépression... La Merde
► This weekend has dragging as I seem to be stuck in a bad depressive fuck. After sleeping for around 11 hours today I still feel tired. I don't know if anything specific brought this on, but I just feel so worn out. Just have an overwhelming feeling of resigned discouragement.
I've been getting a bit annoyed with my sister lately, but I'll continue not getting into that here. As it is right now I feel like I'm alone, even though I'm not actually here alone. I'm now the odd man out and I'm feeling increasingly uncomfortable. More and more I wish I had my own home and felt a bit more stable. Ah well, c'est la vie.
► I've been playing phone tag with Dad all weekend. It's getting downright silly. Need to get ride to pick up some groceries soon because all I have to eat are frozen chicken nuggets and frozen corndogs. It's been over a week since I last picked up food.
Wish I had some pie.
► Reconnected with Jerry, artist SatyQ, a couple of days ago. It had been a few months since we last chatted, and it was last fall when we last spoke of our sketch deal (I give plot, scene and gag ideas for his massive commission story in exchange for 1 sketch per idea used). Looks like things should be getting back on track (once he returns from a vacation he and his wife Diana are now taking), and I gave him several more ideas. We're up to 5 earned sketches, the first of which was done last September ( my main superheroine Utopia). Hopefully we won't lose touch again, and this time get things flowing more timely.
Thinking of asking for nude pics of Ms Marvel and G.I. Joe's Scarlett, and matching flying (non-nude) pics of Ms Marvel and Power Girl. Oh, and a naughty pic of a certainly notably bushy haired wizard character (18 of course). Yes, I have no life.
Money will be a bit tighter in July since I have to pay Dad back for helping with my computer repairs and my new bike, but I'm hoping to commission some more drawings from Dexter Cockburn once things settle back to normal. Or if I win the lottery. Whichever comes first.
► So, Was Knight and Day a Tom Cruise Comeback-or Setback? - From the article:'Reputation-wise, though, Knight and Day's a potential killer. It wasn't Valkyrie, with its period setting, its eyepatch and its Nazis. It was a $100 million-plus summer movie with action, explosions and Diaz.'
I find it funny that they use Cameron Diaz as an example of an ingredient for success. Outside of the Shrek movies, of which I doubt she's a big part of the draw, her biggest successes are the Charlie's Angels movies and she's never opened a movie on her own name. She's hardly a sure thing, and Cruise, even with his recently batshit-crazy soiled reputation, is just much more of a superstar hit maker.
► Cracked.com: 6 Organizations You Didn't Know Were Secretly Badass - It's always amazed me how non-Canadians seem to think the RCMP all wear those red ceremonial uniforms all the time. Another hint: they generally drive cars and not ride horses.
► Cracked.com: 6 Famous Geniuses You Didn't Know Were Perverts - And yet farts are considered lowbrow. I'm just surprised, because wasn't James Joyce noted for being a pervert beforehand? If not, what was all that censorship stuff about?

Quote of the Moment
Constanze Mozart: Stop it!
Mozart: I am stopping it! Slowly. There? See? I've stopped. Now we're going back.
Constanze Mozart: No!
Mozart: Yes, yes! You don't know where you are! Here, everything goes backwards. People walk backwards, dance backwards, sing backwards, and even talk backwards.
Constanze Mozart: That's stupid.
Mozart: Why? People fart backwards.
