Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.Sleepytime journal #4
Ten things I'm thankful for today:
-pajamas.
-leftover Italian food. Lazy!
-the new Strokes album. delish! (and on vinyl, too, bahahhaa! awesome!)
-Scrambles. She brightens every single day. She's just so goddamned cute and precocious.
-Echo and Topher, by that same token. They're always like "WHY IS THE WEIRD LADY PUTTING HER HANDS IN THE CAGE AUUUUGH" but they'll still come up and take a pine nut when I offer it. They're so damn cute it hurts. Plus, learning that they don't like carrots has been hilarious. They will literally pick up a piece of carrot and chuck it across the cage. I'm like OKAY, I GET THE PICTURE!
-all the weird people I know on Facebook. Everything from the frivolous -- links to Mortal Kombat 9 trailers or adorable little cutesy videos -- and emotional appeals to change all the horribleness in the world keep me amused and involved in life in general.
-disagreeing with a total stranger in a comment feed on a popular website only to have it evolve into an in-depth conversation that ends in mutual respect and education for both parties. Best feeling ever.
-Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer. I wear Nutmeg. It heals even my worst cases of chapped lips within hours, is minty, and has a lovely color to it. I go crazy like a fiend when I don't have any.
-Old episodes of "Are You Afraid Of the Dark?". Nostalgia. What else can I say?
-Bottled water. Our fridge water filter is broken but we had the cash to buy a case of the stuff. I'm very happy. Too bad I don't have instant coffee (Starbucks makes an iced coffee instant mix) right now, but soon as I get it, blammo. You just pour that stuff into a bottle of water, shake it, and you're done. I'm kinda fiending right now.
I realize all my grateful things today are weird and not terribly emotional, but that's what happens on days when I don't wind up talking to anybody. :D
One nice thing I did for someone today:
I really didn't talk to anyone today, so it didn't come up. :D Shame!
One nice thing someone else did for me today:
See above. So sad! These journals aren't terribly inspiring when I don't have an answer to these last two, but I still encourage anybody to go ahead and do them anyway. Every day isn't gonna be a Mary Poppins Sing-Along... :D
To make up for that, have a hilarious video.

of course, you'll need a coffee machine to do that...

Wassup?
Also: if you ever get a Mocha or hot chocolate from McCafe, ask for extra vending chocolate, it's free. or confuse your McBarista and ask for a expresso with an extra expresso shot.
see, my comic has this whole weird super-secret scholarly organization that has set its base of operations in NZ, and as a texan, i know very little about the place. mainly, i have this hip young character named max who is kind of a young upstart in the group, and i want him to sound, y'know. authentic. so slang and the like -- i'm kind of retarded about that. i've been hoping to run into someone who could help me with his dialogue when i come to it, make him sound authentic. do you think that's something you could help me with? like, just look at his few lines and help me "translate" them into more legitimate dialogue for him? <3 because i really love him, and i don't want him to seem like a horrible caricature!
