I think recently I've learned the value of attending to matters of the spirit.  I'd always assumed that your spirit was a part of you that self-sustained, that it'd be something you could rely on when you were beaten down no matter how poorly you treated it or how little attention you paid it.  I'm learning that it's a part of you that you need to ( Read more... )

So I moved and started all manner of new stuff.

Highlights:
-I am now a contributing artist for "Blueprint Saints" Magazine, a low-circulation comix mag here in Lexington.
-I (ugh) deliver pizza again.
-I live with Martin on Larkspur now.  I probablyhave 2x the space I did at my last place.  Bonus!
-About 80% of the drama that was going on at my old ( Read more... )

I quit my job.  I had a few significant differences of opinion with my boss concerning oversight and his level of accountability concerning our work as interns, and it ended up being untenable.  On the plus side, we worked things out amicably and he's agreed to write me a letter of reccomendation wherever I go.  That's more than I expected.  I ( Read more... )

...and I still have nothing to say!  I am pleased to report that life is boring and without drama.

Spoiler alert: The following is stuff that is completely unimportant to those not involved but is pretty much all I have to talk about.  (Highlight to read.)

My Iron Man electronics are coming in throughout the week.  I'll be ready for tests on July 12 ( Read more... )

1.)  So I had a friend and former housemate that I lost track of recently... he moved back home, and then his car broke down, then his cell phone shut off, then I didn't hear from him for a couple of weeks.  So I got worried and tried to get hold of him somehow.  He once told me that if I went looking for him and didn't know where to look, I wouldn ( Read more... )

1.  So we got a new contract where we're renovating an old school, and I'm crawling around in the bowels of this gigantic decaying monster, measuring every freaking inch of it.  Literally.  We need to know exact dimensions of the entire complex.  Asbestos and (more importantly) mold everywhere.  Remnants of bygone eras of schoolchildren and ( Read more... )

Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine

I like to drink you with fava beans and a nice chianti!   fp fp fp fp fp fp

thus endeth the silly/disturbing thoughts for the day.

Well, I watched Iron Man twice, and it was badass.  The firs time was just for fun, though on the second viewing I will admit to keeping a keen eye on the armor and how it was made.  Two conclusions:  One, the CG armor is 10%+ slimmer than the real suit.  Two, it looks like they added substantial height in the ankle/foot zone.  Nobody's shins are ( Read more... )

Rush Limbaugh needs to get got.

While "Project Chaos" might have had a limited effect in Ohio, it defeinitely tipped the balance in Indiana.  Most telling is the fact that of 60% of the republicans who turned out in support of Clinton will be voting for McCain in the ( Read more... )

Ok, so this is pretty cool.

I bought a set of goggles with LCD screens embedded in them.  Then I bought a spy camera.  Then, I'm going to mount the spy camera on a rig extending from my back about 4', looking back at me.  The effect?  Real-life Third Person perspective.

Yes, I know it's cool.  The parts are on order.  Expect videos.  Bwahahahaha!
