Yesterday was another busy day. So much so that I didn’t even get the chance to do a quick sketch of the Chinese girl that was working the counter of the Tex-Mex place I went to lunch earlier in the week (some folks already know where the studio is located, and to them, yes, I actually had Mexican food in Chinatown). Anyway, she was literally a girl, so young it was criminal; it was like 2:00, and she couldn’t have been older than 10, meaning she should have seriously been in school. But the thing about her was her insanely horrible hair. It was this really bad mullet that looked all chopped up, as if her head was in a huge pencil sharpener, or maybe some mean girls at school beat her up and all took huge clumps of her hair. Maybe that’s why she wasn’t in class then?
The other thing I wanted to draw was the little kid in my dream who held a mock funeral for my soul, and was so sad that he couldn’t stop crying and peeing, and was shooting out so much urine that it was gushing out his right sleeve (he was wearing a suit, all formal like) like a firehouse. Its… very hard to explain. I guess you have to see it… which is why I wanted to do a drawing in the first place… sorry Katie.
Anyhow, why so busy? Well I’m flying “back home” later this morning, in just about three hours to be precise. And as is usually the case, the timing of this trip couldn’t be worse. Aside from the fact that I just started a new job, and how I’m overseeing a major project on that end, plus assorted other major projects that are at a sensitive time right now, I’ll be missing out on a number of social engagements that I wish I didn’t have to miss. Such as K Thor’s book launch party and what promises to be another killer chiptunes show. Hey, Jeremiah or Dave (Mauro), one of you guys make sure to let Joe (Simko) when its happening. Then there’s FIGHTING WEAPON BATTLE OF THE PALE FACE VOL. II, which means I’ll also miss the chance to see Colin, plus the opportunity to also play Metal Wolf Chaos over at Dave’s. Bummer…
Oh well, at least I’ll get another chance to catch some Almost Live, as well as go to my favorite childhood arcade and play some Virtua Racing, then grab a corndog. So yeah…
Anyway, I’ll be back in a week. Till then, here’s a few random YouTube vids, including the news as seen through the eyes of a PCP addict, further proof that Germans are fucking awesome, and, as if anyone needed it, further proof why the Transformers kicked the GoBot’s asses.
Okay, time to wake up MK and have her drive me to the airport. Later!
