Garfield Minus Garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness in a quiet American suburb.

Sbrns sent me this- to punish him, I referred him to farm hustle. (Damn you Cute w/Chris...) Be prepared- if you click on the link, to sign off on your life. You click on the little amigurumi to rearrange them, making strings of 3 or more. You pass a round by eliminating all the shaded boxes.

In other news, having my cable truncated and being in school this semester has meant that I've missed all but the initial Project Runways. Except yesterday, when I went over to N/A's, watched that and Top Model, drank a bunch of wine, got super damn drunk, and stumbled home. I puked. I puked a line from the cab to my door, where I puked on- not in!- the porta-potty that hangs out in front of the construction site and services the neighborhood hobos. Yesterday, pre-puke, I noticed a stockpile of newspapers spilling out of the door. Reading material/spare tp? Only the shadow knows. Well, not anymore, cause... It got puked on.

Being sick for a month, and being too poor/stressed to go out blitzing... I've always been a lightweight, but damned if my tolerance is nonexistant now. Add that to Al Ottis' incredible hypnosis peer pressure skills on me, and you've got an issue. An "I woke up late for class, never mind late to get there" "I am so damn hungover" "I cannot drink on a dinner of cheese/crackers" issue.

That aside, I'm having a pretty great day. I slept well cause I slept in, I took my time, I'm drinking all kinds of water, having written off my performance I felt more comfortable in the classes I did attend, which has been kind of an issue. I put more emphasis on paying attention at the same time being lenient on myself... I just feel really great. While at the same time... I feel really terrible. How bout that.
