Comics orgy overload...

Yesterday I hung out with Matt and Erin and ran around town with them, buying spices and eating sushi and whatnot. I bought new books, including a punk-rock knitting one that had new mohawk-hats to make. I loved the one I made for Matt, but now, looking at the cool harajuku-style mohawks in the book I can't help but think, "I want one tooooo! Never mind that I look dorky in hats!!! I WAAAANT ONNNNNE!!!" *sigh* Another project in the queue...

Also, I got to go to Big Brains and blow the beautiful gift certificate they gave me on comics.
I gloried in the comic book carnage. "Sweet Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, why lookit, their new comic's out! And Pirate coasters!!! Vampire shojo manga! The new Aaron A. comic! A new compilation of Squee, since I gave the last one to my other! A new small Vasquez book! A Roman Dirge children's book....sorta...Wheeeeee!!!" I was like the hyperactive kid falling right into the box of marshmallow peeps, I tellya! Most of the afternoon was spent in reading bliss with my new and wonderful aquisitions.
I really miss Big Brains being closer to where I lived...back in the day it was just a trot downtown, next to Let it Be records. I'd go downtown and pick out some new music and scurry home with my arms full of "mental health reading" and spend the day and most of the night listening and reading and sketching. Now the building's a site for a new huge scary condo. Progress:/

I think I need some tea. And another mini-wallow in the comics before I go to work...It just makes me so happy. What a cool gift:)

A meme that wasn't tagged from someone whodidn't tag it either...

Sometimes memes can be fun or irritating, depending on how big they are, how long, how dull or how much you can play with the format. I thought this one was short enough to play with...and if you put your own, that's always entertaining:)


Seven things about me...(It's all about me! Mememe!)

1: I speak English, some French, and enough Spanish to know when someone's cussing me out. and I can say, "That's a stinky squid" in Japanese...

2: I love to bake, though I have the occasional horrible cake snafu. Horrible! And even pink!! with sprinkles!!

3: My collection of skulls, both plastic, ceramic and otherwise, grows with every year. It's not as cool as Captain Emily's glass eye collection, but it's fairly sinister, yes...

4: I've knitted things out of twine, paper, and plastic bags--it took forever to do the plastic bag kimono, but it looks pretty interesting...

5: I've been briefly on tv and the radio a very small handful of times.

6: I can do an inpressive Pinky voice from "Pinky and the Brain". These days, it's a vanishing skill.

7: I was up on stage once with Penn and Teller as a volunteer from the audience. They gave me a cordless drill and everything. At one point I had Penn's boxers on my head, and I was laughing so hard I could barely hold the drill straight.



So there you are...
