At the Head.

Days pass. Things Change.  I am waiting patiently to see what I'll have to do for next year.
I am such an impatient person. I wish I had other things to occupy  my time but I don't.
Once I know for certain on what I need to do, I'll be more motivated.

But I am not a whiner. I gave that up awhile ago. It's now all about figuring how to continue going down the right path and not getting myself into trouble.  Luckily trouble doesn't follow me too much. Just in random spurs.

I got to meet Harvey Pekar, (He's most known for American Splendor,but has written numerous stories and was once an avid Jazz collector.) He talked mainly about how he got into comics and the progress it was to get to where he is today. He talked about his days with Robert Crumb and how they started working together. He did talk abit about the movie. He pointed out that the only reason why he did the movie was because he was being paid. And when the movie turned out to be good that was just a bonus.

He touched on alot of different  subjects, a big one was the state of the publishing companies. He currently has 4-5 books in limbo because of the demise of publishing companies and fear of them getting wiped off. It's crazy about what's going on but hey, it a recession, only rich people have anything and the rest of us are just floating. I never expected to be rich from making comics, it was about being happy from making comics. We all should be able to do something that makes us happy even if it doesn't leave you with riches and jewels. Even if I always have a side job, If I am able to make and publish comics, I'd be pretty set with that. And who knows maybe I won't even need one.  Rambling.

All in all,the talk was pretty good. I got something signed and sounded like a fool as always. I have been going to shows and meeting bands since I was 15 and I'm still an awkward girl. I am slowly replacing my music days with my comic days.  I am ready to let go of all the reckless part of my youth. Hello, adulthood I am ready to work so I can be a lazy old woman in the future.

Ugh Norbit is a horribly bad movie, But you can't look a way. It's that bad.

So I didn't get to go to Meet the Writer for Neil Gaiman but I think this one was alot better. Plus it was in one of my old neighborhoods on the westside, across the street from my middle school. I was thinking about if I do "The Lonely Hearts Project" I might based it on Cleveland or Chicago. I might never named it actually. Just a random 'quasi-big city' in the northeast. Ah we'll get to that when it comes.

It was thanksgiving the other day. A nice holiday to celebrate nothing at all. I would say something rude about the holiday but we all know what happened no need for me to repeat it. :D I barely celebrate holidays anyway. I don't really care. I'm not expecting anything for christmas and it's okay. Christmas is a children's holiday.

I did get to hang out with E and Tiffers. Tiffers was in from bowling green and we got to talk,hang and eat. We were suppose to go to Melt, but it had a 2 hour wait and we didn't want to wait that long. That's what happens when you go out on saturday night and all the yuppies are out. Old yuppies to be exact.
Ended up eating at a bar down the street where I had a ok hamburger,good curly fries and a nice long island ice tea. Then headed back to Tiffers house where we go drunk and tried on wigs and snuggies. Like old times. Can't drink cheap liquor though.

And since I have decided to participate in "What I wore today" here was last saturday's outfit:

I have been lurking about the fashion blogs and such and realized that I should start showing off my style and stuff I want to experiment with. I'm pretty happy with the way I look and I do like dressing up and being creative with my clothes. Because clothes are suppose to be fun and expressive.


I'm tired of yapping. Here are some sketches I did with some brush pens. I love brush pens I think I am going to start using them more. If I get a better handle on those I'm sure I can start working with ink and brushes.




And here's a random sketch of Poison Ivy. Mainly drew it because I have been reading  'DC: Covergirls'.
I was never a big fan of mainstream DC comics, Vertigo is much more my speed. But I think I do want check out more Batgirl storylines esp with Cassandra Cain as new batgirl.





I'm off to eat something good,make some chai tea and watch the always sunny in Philadelphia Christmas special.

I leave you with Chewie being a brat:
