A comic.
So I guess the Oscars are tonight? I dunno, I won’t be watching.
However! However, I was nominated for something called a Versatile Bloggers’ Award by Tippeh, which I thought was quite lovely even though I’m not really at all sure how it’s supposed to work or if I have to make a speech or something. I certainly hope there’s no getting dressed up involved.
Today, for the first time since I started taking Adderall a couple of weeks ago, I took a nap. It was a short one, but it felt glorious.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m tired and need to go lie down.
Several years back, my friend Chad kicked a webcomic idea my way about a guy (I can’t recall the character’s name now, sadly) who was a reality repairman. I loved the idea, and I did a few initial character sketches, but nothing ended up coming of the project because (1) I couldn’t manage my time and (2) I was actually busy as hell working full-time, just getting into my relationship with the woman who would become my wife, and taking graduate classes to earn my teaching license. And I was still doing Crooked Halo, so I had a pretty full plate.
So this sketch is based (loosely) on what I recall of the original character design. I still love the idea of him having kind of a frat-bro look about him, with the casual-looking-but-it-actually-took-effort hair and the douchey goatee thing. Also, I had this idea that he’d probably solve most of his problems with a hammer. What? It’s not any less-probable than the Doctor fixing everything with that screwdriver of his, sonic or otherwise.
Today on Twitter, Nate Cosby (former Marvel Comics editor and the writer of such comics as Image’s Pigs, which is kinda awesome) challenged folks to draw a Sumo Superman. Here’s mine.
This has not happened. God willing and the creek don’t rise (as they used to say), it will never have to happen. I think this means my sister-in-law Allison has to keep me in cakes indefinitely.
One of the possible side effects of Adderall is, apparently, loss of creativity. It’s not a problem I’ve really experienced, thankfully.
Today was President’s Day, so there was no school. I went in to work anyway and managed to get quite a lot done. I also, not coincidentally, took my Adderall today for the first time since Friday, and the results were pretty awesome.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned about my ability to fall asleep at a reasonable hour tonight. I’d already messed up my sleep schedule over the long weekend, and the Adderall usually keeps me up late, and I didn’t take it until late this morning, so…yeah, I may be awake at 4:00 AM.
This is one of those directly from life conversations that just has to be transcribed with pictures. Everyone wanted a chaise lounge, but you really can’t do that, unfortunately.
My wife is on one of her British mystery program kicks again. This time, it’s Midsomer Murders. It does seem to me that there are an awful lot of murders in these sleepy English villages, do much so that I’m surprised there’s anyone left living in them at all.
