It’s been a while, but I’ve had hangovers in my days. I can’t imagine this tacked onto it.

Been a busy couple of days. Lots of writing. Getting ready for travel. A friend from Seattle is going to be an hour north of here, and then going to visit family for the weekend. Looking forward to it.

We managed to capture a local stray today (big-paw Roger), and took him to the vet. Snip! Snip! 3-to-4 million cats & dogs euthanized every year, so if you want a pet, adopt! And in the meantime “catch & release” / neuter & spay your local strays!

Annnnd spring is back in motion. It was high seventies on Monday and then snowed tuesday night. But it has melted, so sanity can again be pretended.

Phew! I finally resolved the navigation issue. Yay! You should be able to find your way around now. 🙂

I missed studio drawing this week because I finally completely mapped out the next chapter in one of the novels I’m writing, and pounded the entire thing out. Fun! But I did do a little bit more work on my oil painting. It’s coming along.

04/14/14 What’s Up

Had a nice weekend. Read some of my poetry at a poetry reading at a friend’s house on Saturday. Saw some classical piano on Sunday. Enjoyed the warm spring sun.

Still trying to figure out why the heck my wordpress theme is not picking up on permalinks. The “next” and “previous” links only work from the home page, but they go along a different route than the actual archive pages (which are listed on the left). I added the BIG double-arrow navigators to the outside of the page, which work from the actual archive pages, so you can use those. The slowness is that I’m having to ask various people for help (it is beyond my knowledge) and although the people helping are absolute saints, it takes time to respond etc. But, hopefully up soon! (if curious, watch the exciting discussion here)

Ah, busy busy. I joined a second wrier’s group, which met for the first time on Monday. Good people. I’m gonna’ like that. Tuesday night the local library showed Joss Weedon’s “Much Ado About Nothing” which I hadn’t seen yet, and so my sweetie and I went (and for all the lousy reviews I read, I thought it was a delightful time).

The website is pretty much revamped. I might tweak here and there. There might be a tad less functionality to the archive, but not much. Simply said, the last theme I was using got over advanced/complicated, which simply confuses things and was becoming a hassle to keep up with.

Oh, and I went to studio drawing again on Tuesday, although I could only stay an hour. but I got a couple nice doodles in, in very different styles too. 🙂 — (the un-fig-leafed version is here)

03/26/14 Orion’s Dream

This strip was actually (loosely) based on a dream I had. It put me in a very off-kilter mood for the day.

Tuesday is severely-reduced-price tickets every week at the Saratoga theaters, and The Grand Budapest Hotel finally came to town. What a delight! :)

Phew! I got back in the studio drawing. It’s been 3 weeks. Too long (none on spring break, and then missed last week because working on deadlines). Below is the “safe for work” version. For the NSFW version, click here.

03/24/14 Final Words

Ah, seeing the the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra was nice. And it totally got my brain cells working too, which I love. I often come out of classical music with one or two new really good ideas. In fact, I wonder these days if I even enjoy the music as much any more, or if I just go to get ideas. Either way, it was great timing, as I’m working madly on two graphic novel scripts.

Saturday night I held my own playing “Sheep’s Head,” but Charlotte was the clear winner of the night. Next time. NEXXXT TIIMMMEEE! :)

Other than that, I’ve just been kicking around with my sweetie.

Been busy writing. Finished the current draft of the Little Dee graphic novel script. Spent all day Thursday working on my regular novel, and will probably be on that all day Friday. Made a cake, and rice, and fed the birds, did laundry, etc etc. Good times.

Been social too. Thursday night was writer’s group and then drinks afterwards. This weekend I’ll be volunteering helping the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra set up (and will get to see them perform Sunday) and then GAME NIGHT again on Saturday. More cards. Fun fun.

Sweetie was totally sick on Monday,  which was sad. So I drew and took care of her and it was an indoor quiet day. Spent all day Tuesday working on the Little Dee graphic novel script. Considered going to studio drawing for about twenty seconds, but kept working. Painted a tad bit to relax. Ha!

My friend Matt is running a Kickstarter for his comic Catbeard. Solid stuff. Check it out. Here’s a link to the strip itself: Catbeard.
