Slept quite badly last night. Probably shouldn't have had that third drink, but it was still so early I figured I could get away with it. I guess it's a sign; no more alcohol until after I'm through the withdrawal process. (Sorry, squeakymonkey, we'll have to do Ringside some other time; this week is apparently not going to work. Dammit.) I'm exhausted and my ( Read more... )

Today marks the opening of the Fifth Stumptown Comics Festival! - which, dare I say, is awesome. I will be staffing the Dark Horse booth, along with my esteemed colleague/pain-in-the-butt/snarky cutie Max Sato, Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. Yes, I have to get up early and go work on a Saturday. That's how much I love you, and how much I love ( Read more... )

Last night I went to the store and grabbed a sixer of Abbey Ale, came home and drank three of 'em... and watched the last episodes of the second season of The 4400 (it's an awesome speculative-fiction show, and I recommend it) and looked at my current story outline, which doesn't actually fit into the chronological time frame that I wanted to fit ( Read more... )

I've got a blister on the bottom of my foot, and I haven't heard anything from the opticians' about my new glasses. Time for me to call them and start yelling; I mean, seriously, ten days is WAY more than enough time to make a pair of fucking eyeglasses, don't you think ( Read more... )

Great times at the Stumptown Comics Fest yesterday. After a rough start to my morning, I got there and was immediately in the thick of the awesome - Victoria was there! Johnzo was there! Shannon gave me a coffee mug (and a weekend pass)! Jeff and Kathy gave me one of their spare digital cameras (expect to start seeing pix on this LJ soon... aren't ( Read more... )

If my presence is enough to compel you to drop $5 on the city's largest comics festival, let this be your goad - I will be working at the Dark Horse table at the Stumptown Comics Festival tomorrow (Saturday) between 10-2. That'll be a great time to drop by - all of the good free stuff goes fast ( Read more... )

Yes, it has begun.

I am now watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I'm done for. (I've only watched the first four episodes. And loved them - they are genuine honest-to-bob quality. Do they get worse from there for a while, and then better? Isn't season 1 supposed to suck?)

On a related note... proofreading Buffy Season 8 #6... Brian K. Vaughan, I ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day! I am definitely going to rock it, but I just can't decide which store I want to hit. I'd better figure it out so I can get there right as they open; I got to Things From Another World Hollywood at like 2:30pm last year, and everything cool had already gotten snapped up many hours before. Oh! I know! I'll go to Guapo ( Read more... )

I have learned to hate eBay in a whole new way, now that it's become one of the primary components of my job. I fucking hate these auctions that end at like 11pm on Sunday night, and some dickhead ends up outbidding me on something that I really need to get. I want to call up the auction winners and scream at them "Why the fuck do you need this ( Read more... )
