Animal smothers

Over the course of the week of watching my mom's place, the pets were getting more and more lonely until I was smothered in them. Kikkens is the little grey cat. Curry is the monsterous ragdoll cat, and Blue is the dog. Kikkens never did end up on my head, but it came pretty close. And Blue did prefer trying to crawl into my lap than chase the ball.

Pet sitting

I watched my mom's house for a week and a half while she was in Italy. It was the first time I had to take care of a horse in about 15 years. And Moby was not amused by my cabin-fever-esque antics.
It was kind of like vacation because I was somewhere new, but I still had to telecommute to work. Blue, my mom's dog, just made me miss Ernie more, too.

Edit: I forgot to mention why I haven't posted in so long. I was too busy with school. So much school. I was drawing nonstop for three months and only 1% was comics I bet.

Jim... You're gross

True story. Srsly. So true it doesn't even get the vowels in seriously.
However, that is not my best drawing of Jim, which would be thus one.

In other news, I will be at the Olympia Comics Festival on June 8th from 1:30 to 6:30! I will have all the Flying Dodo Publications regular stuff, be we should also have the first printed copy of Spaz Hands. It will collect the first 50 comics.

Isaac's birthday

I got a hat at the Museum of Flight gift shop, but then realized later, as I always do, that black is a bad color with all the dog hair in our house. Lousy with corgi hair.

Mistaken identity

This was a nice show but is now forever tainted with the memory of what an idiot I am. I have been paranoid ever since and look a little too hard at people's faces sometimes. Also, I now have a little bump of a scar on my hand from that puncture wound. Stupid dogs.

Ink Tub Art Show Stress

Ach, setting up is so stressful. This was from the Inktub show back in November.

My Parents

Little portrait of my partners from about when I was born for the Beautiful Life Project.

Xmas gifts

Jeez. This is old. Maybe I should post things related to holidays closer to the actual holiday.
I forgot to post on Tuesday because I am sick. Mega Con Crud from ECCC. Oof. I am so gross right now.

Family Tree

My family tree. Nothing more to say.

Thanksgiving 2012

I was supposed to help Jim with the polenta this year but he started without me. And mom bought brussel sprouts still on the stalk! I hadn't used that before, but they are really easy. Just snap right off. We had a really good Thanksgiving this year.

Morning person

Still not a morning person. Abe found me this morning half oozed out of bed and back asleep again.

Hearing Loss

So we are going on week three of moving next weekend. I am not kidding. So here's hoping some day, we are done moving.  I have next to no energy left. So that's all for now and we are staying on the Tuesday Thursday update until I have more energy.

Stroganoff

This is a tale from the art trip in Bellingham. After Mr. Smarmy. That's my mom and her new husband Jim. They were not yet married at the time.
So we really did all eat the same dinner, but with very different results. I liked it the most. I couldn't believe how delicious it was. I think my mom was disappointed because she knows what real stroganoff is supposed to be like and was expecting that. I had only vague expectations. Egg noodles, beef, sour-creamy sauce hopefully with chunks of mushroom and onion. We were at Skylark's. I want to take Abe there, but we still haven't gone. It is a pretty nice place. I like the atmosphere. Lots of mirrors on the wall and a weird living room up where no one can get to it.
