chocolate!
i decided to go by the store and get some chocolate during my late lunch break.
i couldn't find those lindt bars the store had on sale, so i got ghiradelli instead.
mmmm! now this dark chocolate i can handle!
Also, while there i stocked my junk food stash! got ken a bag of hot fries. 8^)
i know he likes them, but part of me feels a little guilty since he's trying to lose weight.
i know! i'll help him eat them 8^) then it won't be so bad.
man, i wish all solutions were this easy.

last night, i was adding the dialouge to my comic, when i noticed that my comic fonts was gone! what?
i didn't delete it, it just vanished. i noticed that the bold and bold italic versions disappeard months ago, but i was getting along without them ok.
and now they vanished?
lucky for me, ken had copies and sent them to me over yahoo messenger. i love my boy. he saved my comic. 8^)

i bumped into leif at mcalister's (that is were i went for actual lunch food.)
he mentioned the music on main street thing they've been having on weekends downtown.
i'll this for jonesboro, it's got a cool downtown area. my friend nancy, who's a native new yorker, once called it a "mini-manhattan."
maybe if ken wants to, we can go. don't worry, jo, i won't mention you or foss. or mention where i live.

and now they finally told me that yes, they've decided to have labor day off. i wish they would've told me earlier.
i could fly down to see mom in texas, but that means less time with ken.
ack! i hate decisions like this. see why i want all my decisions to be easy? but then life prolly wouldn't be worth living without tough chocies.
i'll talk to ken tonight and then call mom and see.
i've hardly been calling home at all. part of me feels real guilty. why am i doing this? glad to get out? axnious to get away? with dad i can kinda understand, even though he's easier to deal with now that i'm not under his roof, but what about mom? i guess i'm so used to her calling every day like she used to when she lived in state.

i opened my e-mail this morning to a piece of fan art from tim. 8^) he's trying to start his own webomic as soon as keen_ activates new accounts...
yay!
also, i heard from a fan who hadn't written in awhile. he wants to get a tattoo, with ferdinand on it. i get to design it. this ought to be interesting...

darn! i have to re-e-mail that ad again!
why aren't they receiving the corrected version? dang it!

signing up
just send out for my cbldf membership. 8^)

i want!
*sniff* i want this for my office!

now i've seen it all
behold, the bible tranlated into...pig latin?

delays
well, my comic wasn't finished before bed tonight, the sleepys hit hard. good thing, too, since one of the big bosses was in this morning.
i'll finish the comic after work. all i need to do is scan it, do graytones and dialouge.

oh, great.
and now, they're finding things they want to change on the ad, after deadline. i doubt they'll get the corrections in time.
ug! why don't you people look at this and comment before the deadline is up, huh? sheesh!

ken has decided to start back to work on in shining armor while he waits for the keenspace account for monday the 13th to be activated.

plus, the chocolove strong dark chocolate bar is too strong for me. 70% cocoa!
maybe i should get a pure dark one instead next time. that won't be as bitter with 55% cocoa.
i'll give this stong one to jo. she'll like it.

And now, a fortune cookie moment...
"A good home is happiness.
Lucky Numbers 8, 21, 32, 37, 38, 39"

you know, i think they quit trying on those last three numbers. 6^)

leaks and assorted ramblings
i moved my keyboard at work this morning to discover a small puddle of water. it was about 6" long by 1" wide.
what tha? i didn't spill any water...
turns out that the unbelieveibly fast and hard storm we had on saturday caused a few leaks, one of which right above my computer and printer.
both are ok, i mean i am typing this on it, so no worries there.
i had some help and we rearranged my office so my computer is safe from leakage.
only thing is i hate the new layout. it makes my office look smaller. ick.
perhaps i can move it again once the leaks are fixed...

i've got to draw a comic this week. i never got a chance to build up a buffer the past weeks while i was fiddling with pngs.
i did spend alot of this weekend playing worms:armageddon with ken. we managed to find a copy. 8^)P oh, that game is so fun!
maybe jo and i can paly a round if she's not too tired after class. that reminds me, i need to pick her up at wilson hall tonight.

i think keen_ may start activating new accounts soon! yay! that means ken can start his new comic! 8^D
i can't wait for him to start that up. we also discussed bringing out our old spy ducks and such. it would be fun to bring them back in comic form. we never got past idea stage last time.

plus, it looks like next year's keenspace spotlight comic book will be given away on free comic book day as well as at next year's comiccon. 8^) now, i'm happy about that. i wonder if i can get the local shop here to get a box to pass out...
the next issue of the zine for the nice is starting to get underway. perhaps the comic shop will pass those out, too.
i'm anxiously awaiting my membership stuff from the friends of lulu and the msca. i'm hoping i get another "real women read comics," bumper sticker. the old one was rather attached to my old car, leon the neon, when he was sold.
*waits patiently by the mailbox* that reminds me, i need to buy some stamps...

updates and stuff
well, today's comic loaded fine. why?
i used a jpeg. but i have not given up on the png. i'm gonna wait awhile and then try again.
thanks to Russ over at KO Fight Club for fixing the preivous png.
also, thanks to all on the ecartoonists list for the helpful png info. it was very helpful.

the second roomate has returned.
actually i'm the third. 8^)
emily stayed with her folks this summer and now that college has started back up, she with us once more.
i don't know emily that well, but from what i've experienced she's quite nice. hopefully, things will go smoothly.

more fan art! cute odile sketch from b.j. hiorns of jackie's fridge! i love getting fan art. it makes me happy. 8^)

i tried fixing my archive page last night. didn't take. what am i doing wrong? is is some little something that i'm forgetting? what?

i'm thinking of cutting my hair shorter once again. maybe after crown list. i might need that extra length for the period hair style.

i'm also tinking of saving up and getting a bigger monitor for my computer at home. it's hard to use adobe golive to design webpages on a 15" screen. i wish i had mom's monitor. that would be a nice one. i'll just have to shop around and see how much i can get away with for little money.

i renewed my membership to the friends of lulu on monday and sent in a check to join the msca as well! 8^)

ok. that's all i can think of. back to work.

stupid pngs!
what did i do wrong? all i got was a black box instead of my comic. ;.;
that and the url to the fanart page is wrong! on two of the 3 links to in on the main page.
use the blue button for it instead of the text links. i'll try to fix it tomorrow.
i may just load super-huge jpegs on the page after all....
the fanart is just precious! valentine drew a cute image of odile and amelia. so go see it. 8^)

darn!
i just returned a call from my bank...
apparently the check i deposited in the new roomates grocery/bills account made me overdrawn by a little over $2.00.
yuck. hmmm.
i wonder why the bank's amount and mine is so different? according to my checkbook i have enough...

update 8-15-02 i took care of this. i wonder why it was so off...did i add instead of substact? o.0
