Beyond this life.....

FRIDAY- I get up around 10am to meet my parents. I am dead tired cause of lack of sleep, thanks to my job, natch.

I eat some breakfast with them and shoot the shit. They leave to go shopping and I go home and pass back out. I wake up around 4pm to the wife getting home and heading out to work again. I mope around, watching the JAY & SILENT BOB SILENT BOB commentary track while sketching and doodling. I head to work.

Things are going pretty smoothly and it looks like I might be getting out around 1am, which is great. I can come home early and get some DRAGON QUEST 8 playing in! But of course, a commercial job I am handed takes FOREVER to print, and I am stuck there till 4am.

I get home and pass out watching Family Guy.

SATURDAY-

I wake up around 10am and report to the CMU's Bovee Center with my milkcrate of comics and artboards to sell. My buddy Dean is there and is already set up. For the next 7 hours, I sit and draw and bullshit with him. I get some more EARTHGIRL pencilling and inking done, and draw some new HYMNS headers for the website, as well as an EARTHGIRL T-shirt design.

At 5pm its pretty slow, so I opt to leave and go meet my parents. I meet them at lil' chef again and I eat with them. They say they are going back to Illionis in the morning, which is okay. Its too bad that all of our schedules were so screwed up that we couldn't spend more time together. But they say they are coming back in a few weeks and we agree to make plans for then. We hug and kiss and say our goodbyes.

That night, I spend about 8 hours playing DRAGON QUEST 8, also get in 2 hours at the drawing table. I knonk out around 8am after a full day's excitement.

SUNDAY -

I wake up around 1:30pm, and start playing DRAGON QUEST, as I am totally hooked on getting farther now. I stop around 7:00pm when the wife gets home to take a nap from 7-10:30. I give the wife her backrub as I eat some pizza. I start to play again. Then the wife and I get in a two hour discussion. We agree to make a "date" for ourselves tomarrow to watch ICE AGE and spend a night together. She goes to sleep.

I sit up and cry about a few personal things. The first time I have cried in about 8 months. It feels pretty good, but ultimately bums me out. I spend the rest of the night updating the website, drawing and watching VIVA LA BAM and CKY before konking out around 8am.
