Celebrate my 420th post by NOT smoking up. M'kay? M'kay.

SUNDAY---
The bots wakes me up around 11 (thank god!) and I feed/change him and check the email. I start immediately working on WISE word balloons when the wife calls me to come get a bunch of cheap ass food she bought at Wallgreens. A bunch of freezer stuff on clearance. Suffice it to say, we’re covered for a couple weeks on food! Good thing, cause I haven’t got a call on jobs yet.
The wife gets home and I cook some steak and fries. We eat and I pass out on the couch for a nap. All throughout my nap, I am very aware of a constant pounding from our neighbors above us. Sounds like running on a treadmill, or a very active video game accessory. After two hours, I wake up and Kelly is playing with the bots, equally annoyed at the pounding. I take a mop and pound repeatedly on the ceiling and yell some choice phrases like “STOP IT! THERE’S OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE TOO YOU KNOW!!!!” The pounding stops. (I’m officially an old complaining fart) I work on word balloons while Kelly watches jewelry. Brian calls and we chat for a bit. The Sabo show starts at nine and I join in, reading some lists and vegging out with my virtual pals about movies and other such things. I go well into 3am and decide to pass out cause I got an early day tomorrow. I pass out finally around 3:50am.

MONDAY—
The wife wakes me up at 8:40 cause we got an appointment at H&R block to amend our taxes. We head there in the blistering cold (after feeding/changing bots of course) and sit to get our taxes redone. After about 40 minutes, we’re out of there with the forms to mail into the IRS. We get stamps and drop them off in the mail. We head to the unemployment office and there’s about 35 other people in there already, and one window open. I say, “fuck this!” and head to the gas station to drop off an app. I stop by another and they are out of applications. I drive to a sister gas station and get an app to fill out for both places. Then the wife says we got a little bit of cash left, so we stop for some McDonalds. We get home, scarf it down and the wife starts applying online for my unemployment. After a while, we see that I’m approved and in a few days I’ll get a packet with more instructions. I try to take a nap on the couch, but bots is being extremely fussy. I lay him down, attempt a feeding and try another nap. It doesn’t take cause bots is in full “I’m tired, but too fussy to sleep mood.” So I get up and the wife heads to work. I put bots in the vibrate chair and finish re-coloring a commission I did for a customer who wants some colors adjusted. I shoot out some emails, update blogs and check websites, all while trying to make the bots fall asleep. He passes out and I do some drawing on some new DEVIANTART pieces, as my eyes are sorta hurting and I don’t feel like doing word balloons. I call Tim Fischer and we chat for a while. I make the decision to start my own talkshoe show called “STUDIO CHATTER” that is basically a live chat studio for artists to be in. Basically, a catch all show that I will “host” sorta. Excited to start it this Thursday.
I start inking the drawings I am doing, while watching the extras on my new ED WOOD box set and watching 6TEEN with bots after he wakes up. He’s quite fussy and fidgety, so it’s a good thing I opted not to do word balloons today. If I kept getting interrupted doing them, it woulda been a rough day for me. Brian calls and we chat briefly. I cook a pizza and hang out with bots till he finally passes out around 10pm. I ink art until Kelly comes home with beer and wine coolers. We celebrate the start of her vacation week by boozing it up. I mix vodka with strawberry daquiri and it isn’t long until I am really feeling it. I get pretty sloshed and eventually, we stop playing beer drinking games and go pass out to some Family Guy around 3am.

TUESDAY---
The wife wakes me up around 9:30 saying she has to head into a doctor’s appointment. I get up and feed/change the bots and check emails. The wife returns a couple hours later and we all play with bots and check the internet together. Then around 12:30, we all take a “family nap” on the floor for two hours or so. I wake at 3:00 and go get the mail. The wife applies online for all sorts of Michigan aid that we can get cause of me losing my job. I have $5.00 and a $5.00 off coupon for Best Buy so I opt to treat myself by heading to Best Buy and getting the new U2 Cd. Kinda stupid, but its only $5.00! I listen to it on the way home, grabbing some food for the wife on the way back. I get home and start tackling word balloons on WISE INTELLIGENCE #2. I finally finish the entire issue, after wanting to stop doing it several times. My dad calls and I chat with him for a while, talking about all things unemployment. Kelly enjoys jewelry on QVC and playing with the Scott Bot. He passes out around 10pm. I eat a quick snack and finalize word balloons and check the internet one more time for news for the show. At 11pm, I start the first “STUDIO CHATTER” podcast and it goes till 3:30am. All in all, a good time. Standard talkshoe with my pals. Quite enjoyed. I decided not to actually draw anything during the show. More just wanted to sit back and enjoy myself. At 3:40, I update blogs, check email and close the comp down. I head to bed and pass out sometime after 4am.
