Complain about your schedule. Apparently people like that sort of thing.

Time for something light, methinks...

QOTD: What is your favorite comic strip currently (or otherwise) in the 'papers?

Either Bizzaro or Get Fuzzy for me. Have a sunday strip from Get Fuzzy on the wall next to the computer, "Fang in There!" which parodizes the '70s kitten poster of old.

DRC: Twelfth day of the month. Twelve days to the wedding. Freakouts and fun, all the way. :lol:

I dig Maakies, Calvin & Hobbes, Foxtrot, Non Seq and Pearls before Swine.

DRC: Doing chores; a bunch of Septemberian stuff that will make my artist happy; and finally releasing the 5th episode of The Other Night I Dreamt of Knives. It's an excellent show music-wise BUT I forgot to use my pop filter. Damn P words.

Pearls Before Swine is the only good comic strip in the papers. I like that rat because he's a hateful motherfucker.

qotd: whatever that political one is in the Creative Loafing...I want to say Modern World but I couldn't be sure. Sometimes it goes a little too far to the left but normally I get a chuckle out of it while thinking to myself 'its so true'.

This was supposed to be my last shift here at Traffic Pulse...but after talking to the boss, and the this place losing two employees (I would be a third) in the last two weeks... I might stay on and help until they can get someone else.

Lots of people 'really need to see me' before I leave but yet nobody seems to have the time to. I was also going to have dinner with my cousin tonight but she ended up canceling. Tomorrow I go to San Francisco for a week to look at real estate, and when I get back I'll only have three days, all of which are booked, socially. Unless more people cancel on me.

I've mostly finished cleaning out my fridge. I need to figure out what I'm going to do about a few items I want to get rid of (my futon and my desk for example) and when I'm going to do it. Probably I'll just donate them to goodwill.

I've been working on my webcomic again lately. Which is appropriate to the qotd:

I don't read the newspaper, but I do read a couple of newspaper comics online. I used to read a lot of them but then I came to realize that most of them suck. So now I just read Get Fuzzy and Dilbert, and then I also read The Comics Curmudgeon which is a great way of keeping up with how retarded mainstream newspaper comics are. I do read several webcomics, however.

Just discovered this here roll call dealio. Pretty cool...

Did an entire take for "Thank God For Memphis" that might have been the best take possible, but forgot to press "record"! Second take was pretty good, will probably use it for this week's entry. Very bluesy tune...we'll see how it goes over. :)

Came up with an idea for a AAD or AAW concept album. Have rough outline prepared for when the day comes.

My favorite in the comics is probably Dilbert, but I also really dig Speed Bump, Foxtrot, and a few others.

My favorite all-time is Calvin & Hobbes.

Nice link! This looks great.

Just got in from an open mic at a local bar. The Weird Al show on Friday went pretty well. I got some video, but it didn't come out that great. I might still YouTube a track or two.

QotD: I don't read the paper. I miss Charles Schulz, though.

Glad the show went well, Jim, seemed like a big deal to me.

I no longer read the papers and the local paper, the Hampton Union, or Bunion as I prefer to call it, doesn't have comics. Doonesbury is on my home page and I enjoy that. Calvin and Hobbes was good and I used to enjoy Bloom County very much as well. Those were at the top, anyway.

I don't complain much about physical woes, but I have what is apparently a slipped disc in my back. Not a good feeling and it makes sleeping difficult to boot. Don't slip your disc, it will repay you with much discomfort!

QOTD:
No favorite comic strips in the paper. I'll read something if it's put in front of me, and I usually get a chuckle. but I don't go out of my way to read comic strips. I like some of the links that you guys have posted for on line comic strips, but I don't bookmark them, I just look and move on. :wink:
