So I just got back from listening to my favorite cartoonist and big big inspiration Alison Bechdel at CMU.  I was so excited to get the chance to see her in person.  It was great to hear her talk about her strip and the characters and talking about why some of them are the way they are. She also read two chapters from her memoir.  When time came ( Read more... )

The way this works is: you comment (inane comments or 'me!' or whatever are fine), and I ( Read more... )

a kick in the teeth it is indeed. The schedules got changed around and I now have to work Saturday. So no party. Oh well. Some other time I guess.

I kind of want to break in my new apartment (without actually breaking anything, of course) with a 
St Patty's Day Pregame Party! 
I'm hoping to have it around 6 or 7ish, for about an hour or so, just come in, get a bite to eat because I'm buying a fondue pot, maybe have a drink and then we go out to hop in the South Side! It's only a tiny studio ( Read more... )

I signed my lease this morning so it all worked out, I now have an alternative place to live! Now begins a gradual moving in process.And hunting for a drawing table. I hope to be all moved in by the end of next week. And if my schedule permits, I'd like to do a pregame party on St. Patty's day followed by some frolicking in the South Side! If I ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting 3 days. My dad went online and found a pile of cheap apartments around Pittsburgh andduring my two days off of work I decided on a whim to call a few and ask for a viewing. Just to get an idea. Well after seeing one roach motel walk-in closet "studio" for $375 a month, the next one was very nice and $350 plus electric. I ( Read more... )

I don't have any idea why I felt compelled to scribble this. Or why I felt compelled to share it with you. But nonetheless, it is sheep rape. And right now, it is good. I feel happier now.

First week at the new job wasn't bad. Actually as far as sales jobs go, I kind of like it there. But that's all thar be to say. It's an easy paycheck. Nothing else is going on except sketching for my other job. Hopefully the meat of that project will begin soon. I'm also beginning to look seriously into moving out, though it won't be able to ( Read more... )

So I did end up getting a new job. For immediate financial reasons I got a job at the bed bath and beyond at the waterfront. It's not bad. I had my first training day. Everyone is pretty laid back. I'm not leaving my face art job either. It turns out this year I'm going to get the power that I wished I had last year. Supposedly there is a totally ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've really looked on livejournal, and even longer since I've updated. Most people don't frequent here anymore, and it used to be such a buzzing place 2 years ago! Well enough people still use it, so what the hell, maybe I'll get on it again ( Read more... )
