Waste

I'm watching NYC Prep, because I'm sick of hearing about Michael Jackson on the news. NYC Prep is a soulless vapid shit TV show about 16 year olds, similar to the LA shows with identical premise. I realized something... people from New York are really awkward looking. None of them are ugly... just really strange and gawky. Maybe it's because they're teenagers.

I'm really tired of TV. Thanks to Jerry I read thru a great webcomic "Wasted Talent". Good art style and cute sense of humor. A lot of the humor surrounds the bizarre language she shares with her boyfriend, which is just strange enough to be endearing rather than obnoxious. They both call eachother "Jam", which is a weird pet name for one person and a weirder pet name for two people to call one another. I also like her moments of taking things teachers say literally. Like "for the following calculation assume there is no air resistance" and then imagining people getting killed by rain, assuming there is no air resistance. Hilarious nerd humor.

The art does get MUCH better 300 pages later.

Steady State Equation

I was at work until almost 8pm today. I started working at 11 though, so I'm not sure if that makes me a workaholic or incredibly lazy. I kept working when I got home.. I like making manuscript figures. Looking beyond my laptop, I can see three bags of canvas and a pile of paper on my living room floor. They're hungry for ink and blood. I can't feed them.

My plate is full. I've reached that steady-state where I don't have time to do extra enjoyable things... but that in itself is strangely enjoyable. I think it's the TV. I am a slave to it. It's the only thing that turns my brain off at night. I tried reading the other day and stayed up til 3AM.

Somehow I still find 2 hours in my day to search for a karaoke version of Coin-operated Boy by Dresden Dolls. Why is it that the only place you can find this song is a random bar in Philly? Karaoke Obscura.

Ah time management.
