TUESDAY---
I wake up and go to McDonalds for a 10:30-3 shift. I work and head home and watch Dr. Phil and Oprah with the wife. Its interesting cause both shows were talking about money management. Something both of us have been struggling with. But are already on the right track. We cut up our cards 3 months ago, pay more than the minimum, and no longer use checks since around February. We're paying off our debt right and never fight about cash like we used to a few years ago. Its so much better that way isn't it?
But we still don't have any!!! lol
I head to work and chat with Shane about a song idea I have for this weekend when we record. My computer at work was fried so they replaced my harddrive and all, and I mean ALL my files were gone! So I have to rebuild alot of things like all my print templates for my comics and my IDIOTHEAD CD stuff, DVD stuff and promo ads. All gone. Kinda a bummer but oh well.
I also get the sad, sad news that SYD BARRETT, Pink Floyd founder, has died. Being a HUGE Pink Floyd fan as I am, I feel the loss immensely. But not as much as I would feel it if any of the remaining four of them passed on. Its a reminder to me that all things end, and that one day soon, everyone will be gone. Its inevitable, but what is important is that you leave plenty behind for everyone to look back and and remember. For a short while. Thats all you can hope for. I hope I can do the same in my own life as well.
I spend time uploading what I do have back onto my computer and send melody the PDFs of EARTHGIRL. I got the Earthgirl proof yesterday and its really looking nice. I'm quite happy with it. Too bad there isn't enough time to get the books printed in time for SAN DIEGO con for Melody. But I am making it up to her the best way I can. I feel bad though. But its really beyond my control. It happens.
I spend the rest of the night making copies of PLEASANT LIFE, updating sites and emails. I go home and pass out after watching the extras on the 1966 BATMAN movie and eating some Frosted Flakes.
WEDNESDAY---
I work a 12-5 at Mcdonalds. I am very very tired today for some odd reason.
I head to the newspaper job and right away get offered the chance to draw an album cover for a band. Another commission!!! Also, I check email and I've got yet, ANOTHER commission offer! And there is a possibility of doing a wedding characature gig. Busy I will be!!
At the newspaper job, I enter into a going away party for one of my closest co-workers (and one of the only guys left in the department!). I'm greatly saddened by his leaving, but very happy that he has managed to escape. This particular individual I know has felt the "stuck" feeling I've felt for the past two years, and I am glad to see him going for it and getting out of here and into the world beyond the Mt. Pleasant walls. Its sad for me cause we are the ones left behind, wondering why we cannot do the same thing yet.... someday... (miss you already sir.)
I work a solumn 5-4am shift and head home. I manage to squeeze in some networking stuff and update websites when I can.
