I don't want to live my life on one side of an ampersand.
I think Amanda Palmer should change the name of her tour from 'Who Killed Amanda Palmer?' to 'Amanda Palmer Saved My Life.' I spend a lot of time on the business side of music--selling tickets, selling CDs, promoting the band, all of which is part of the job description and is rewarding in a lot of ways, but sometimes the real magic of music, the ( Read more... ) -
arachnophobia - now in 3-d!!
the last few days have been pretty strange. yesterday my laptop decided to commit suicide (thankfully right after I'd just backed up a copy of my story--that's a BIG *phew*), so i couldn't write anything. chris did science to it but all he could tell me was that the bearings were off on my hard drive and i needed to get a new one (i'm borrowing his ( Read more... ) -
roommate lore
good week with the band. one of our best shows ever was saturday night, when we played to thousands of people in an outdoor concert in downtown Savannah. at one point i was up front, playing tambourine, and i stood on the sound system in front of the stage, looking out at the massive crowd, and it sort of hit me that this was my job. neat.

Meet the Furry Friends!
Here are the character sketches for the "Furry Friends" comic book I'm illustrating. I used to do a lot more drawing and sketching than I have been lately, so it's been really fun to return to this.

"i think weird is where you go when you're not smart enough to be funny."
thanks, estes. that quote was in reference to the Geico "that's the money you could be saving" commercials. and here's another gem, this one about something we were watching about the statistics of rape: "rape stats? john the rapist, 0 and 4 this season ( Read more... ) -
How Risa got her Boone back
so pretty much this entire week has been spent either accidentally or purposefully running into some seriously awesome people. let's start with last thursday.
thursday - the band played hilton head, sc, and my favorite sound technician ever was there. his name is Ian and he's old and scottish and hilarious, and he almost never does sound for us ( Read more... ) -

speaking of friends of mine that are way funnier than i am, if you haven't already, check out www.particulatescomics.com. the most recent one had me laughing out loud. i can only hope this story arc will involve bees at some point. like, lots of bees.
i've been reading the testimonials on www.sorry-mom.com lately, hoping in my heart of hearts that i ( Read more... ) -
Happy Garbage Day!
One of my favorite people ever, Kevin DeLury, has a blog at www.everydayisgarbageday.com. He and co-writer Mogan Brown update it pretty often. It's an awesome blog any day of the week, but in my opinion today they've outdone themselves. For Valentine's Day, they asked people to send in their relationship questions. Here is the hilarious result:

friday the 13th
i've had kind of an off-week. it's been more full than usual of less than awesome stuff. i was on and off sick, got into a tiff with someone that means the world of me, really let myself feel some ...well, yeah, i'll say grief, about my parents' divorce. other stuff too. what was the quote in Dark Knight? "Why do we fall?--So that we may learn to ( Read more... )
