The comfort has at long last been fully restored to my bed, complete with new bedding and a deduction of blankets in set for the coming warm weather. I cannot wait to sleep in it. I was so excited about fixing my bed that instead of using the washroom mirror to pluck my eyebrows, I grabbed my compact and plopped belly-up in my queen-sized pamper-machine. The only bad part is now I have a giant pile of old bedding and worn comfort-foams that I need to take care of somehow, but I have nowhere to put anything just now. They'll have to sit there making my room look like the linen closet drank too much tequilla and vomited all over.
Warm weather is a beautiful thing, isn't it? I even got to take the plastic off my windows and opened them. The breeze felt so good.
And for good news on top of more good news: James is teaching a class where the students' main project is to come up with a comic book concept, write the storyline for it, and submit the first five pages completed to a comic book company (they have to research companies and their submission policies). This is my area of expertise, so I've decided to help. I'm going to write some guidelines as to what kinds of comics are out there, what the difference between a trade paperback and a graphic novel, character developement and introductions, text bubbles, fonts, styles, scripts, narration boxes vs. dialogue boxes, and list some good sites, publishers and comics, too. I'm temporarily donationg a bunch for the cause, so my floor is dominated by my entire collection. I have until monday, but to buy some extra time, he's got them starting a smaller project involving making a 3D paper puppety thing. I made one and it's super cute. I got the pattern from the last issue of Computer Arts Projects magazine, which, along with Imagine FX, has become my new favourite magazine. Unfortunately, the Barnes and Noble around here sucks with keeping up their stock, but I'll live. I'm flying off on a tangent, anyway.
Time for bed! AWESOME bed.
