Ugh, one of those days you wanna call out sick at work. Unfortunately I can't do that. GRRRRR. One day I will get that.
I drew the squirrel cause I saw it and thought awww, I need to draw that.

I know I should appreciate this job, but lately I just get pissed off at the littlest thing. I guess I'm just annoyed in general or something.
Eh whatever. See you guys tomorrow.

I like Say Anything. I should buy tickets to their show. Along with Less Than Jake and other shows I can't think of right now.
Also did anybody know that R5 shows are starting to show up on ticketmaster.com?

Thanks to Leah for the pimping good time. And a shout out to Joe and the Voice of Defiance crew.
I got hit by hail and was soaked to the bone on the way home. It was not fun.
Well I put it iup early so I could focus on work so I'll see you later.

That's right I'm going to a toga party, thrown by my good friend Leah. It will be awesome.
Yea, I just thought of the punchline today. Ain't I quick witted? Since I don't think he reads this I will tell you that Marlon is considered one of the wrose animators currently in the program. Even though my reputation around the lab is one of being EXTREMELY lazy. God I hope he doesn't find this and bitch at me.
Have fun tonight and be safe all.

Now Marten might be working at a library. Knock it off Jeph, your stealing my life. Haha.
Why do people insist to stare at a sign that says ring the bell for service and just stand there till someone comes around?
My job for the game company is just been killing me lately. I gotta learn a new program and learn more about the one I use already. I might have a soon deadline or not. I don't get why I have to do it, but I figure I'll figure it out and some point.
I'm forming an opinion to miss today's meeting so I can go out. Cause I'm just frustrated. On the other hand I need to know how soon I have to get everything done. Gotta talk to some people.
GRRRRRR RAWR RAWR RAWR.

They closed Dave and Busters a private party. THE WHOLE FUCKING BUILDING!!!! So Me, Jay and Theresa went up to the D&B near the Franklin Mills mall. It felt different but it was basically the same. We just played pool and had some drinks.
Yup.

Ummmm, yea. I guess I find the cartoony version of me funnier cause he has no rules. THe classical(black haired) version of me is closer tied to my reality then the cartoony version. Cause the classic echos things happened outside my head(though technically classical says what I think) while the cartoony does the funny things I think about.
But in the end they're two sides of the same coin. Just different sides of my personality.

Lot's to do today.
Yea, me and a fellow animator are working on our final project for animation production. It's an idea we had that might be in the clip. Hehe.
Also thanks to Shane for letting me use the little guy.
Since December 1st 2005, I have not missed one single day of this comic. That's 9 months, shit I'd have a baby by now. Fucking shocking shit. That's 270 days worth of comics, and about 85% of them are actually funny. So statistically I'm doing pretty good haha.

Not gonna lie to you guys. I was in a big hurry when I drew yesterday's comic out. I should mention I actually said it to the waiter at Golden Empress. Thought it was funny as hell, so that's why I put in. Had fun though.
Today's comic is in reference to my recording session yesterday. Chris is very professional in the sense he wants quality, not quantity and efficiency. He extremely picky and demanding, but eh I can take it I've had experience with such things (I imagine a few people are gonna wanna asks specifics but, not gonna do it). It's just very different with the go in for one day, argue, get five songs done, and just try to do the best we could. Now since we don't have to pay we're taking our time and making something relatively good.
I have a beef with the recording process. Before I record I do wish there was a genral sit down and discussion of each song and how they are going to played for the recording, not just decide while we are there. Tooo many times have that happened and it just annoys me. Cause I'm going to play it like I have since I learned it, you can't just all of the sudden change it at the last minute. Also sometimes nobody notices that they we're playing the wrong note since the begining. So I feel a sit down and a discussion and rehersal of the songs to make sure everybody is on the same page is a good idea, cause that's less time arguing over he said/you said and you can just be all buisness and get shit done.
Well enough ranting. Later folks.

Man, work apparently piled up since I've been gone. Funny it starts today, not yesterday. Ugh.
I saw Talladega Nights yesterday. It was hilarious, over the top and kinda dorky. So I think it's worth seeing.

Sweet show yesterday, fun times had by all. Thanks to Tremor and Without Parachute and all those that actually saw Twenty-One Up.
Sorry I forgo my usual drawing of the band. I just can't I feel like crap so. Maybe tomorrow.
That is all.

Let's give a hand for Awesome Jess for filling in. I much appreciate her doing it. Also I'd like to thank Mark at Autumn Lake for making an appearance in Wednesday's comic. He's my only webcomic friend.
Well onto my absence. The Conference/Trade Show/Whatever was fun, lot's to do lot's to see. The boring parts were the listening to people talk. The interesting bits was seeing how they made everything for movies. I also got to see Monster House in 3-D hehe. Got lot's of free stuff and hung out with all my animator friends, which was good and bad haha. Didn't see much of Boston, closets was walking around the edge of Boston Common while some people were finishing eating. Otherwise, I only went between the convention center and Malden(where the hotel was).
I bet your wondering if I drew some comics about the trip. A little yes and a little no, I wrote up a few funny moments from each day but didn't draw them. So I'm eventually gonna draw them all up and post them all on one page as extra content. You'll also get a bonus comic from my away time that I forgot to upload. I should have it up around next week(when I get time to draw at work hehe).
Well I think you should come to my free show at Krunch on 28th and Reed with my band 21up. You get to see two other awesome bands Tremor and Without Parachute. We go on at 9:30, BE THERE!!!!!
Man did I have to play catch up. Had to read all the webcomics I missed, emails, myspace crap, whew. I guess it happens when you don't go online for a week.
That's all I got, great to be back. PEACE!!!!
