Just Coasting...

Greeting from this place where I am!

Second week of work is well underway - I picked up a few extra shifts. Today I had a conversation with a customer about Washington people, and how they skip using the verb "to be" quite often, as in "That needs washed", "Hey, kid, the floor needs swept", etc. It's true! They do it all the time!

Boone didn't get the bus driver job, but is still applying, and he's probably going to cut off his mohawk so he can apply for some office-y jobs he might not have a chance at otherwise.

I been raiding the library like crazy and rekindling my love for bringing home a huge stack of books - half of them reference books I page through for the pictures. I'm watching Bill Nye and the Muppet Show, and getting ready to get out some half-finished canvases I brought with me. Sometimes not having internet or TV is a blessing, and I'm always drawn to it - but in the end I really enjoy internet and TV. Maybe going back and forth - having it, then not having it for a while, then enjoying it again - is a totally excellent solution to that conundrum.

Something is wrong with the video card on my computer, but I am slowly figuring it out with the help of Boone and the Ubuntu forums. I'd like to install some sort of music-creating software on my computer, but I think Ubuntu Studio would crash my system at this point. :(

I also been re-reading Scott McCloud's series on making comics, and it has me all inspired. It's the writing I get stuck on, the drawing I could push through and practice. Anybody have a comic book script lying around?
