Over the weekend, Amy treated us to an afternoon of pottery painting. We painted a bowl and a plate for her to use at work. Amy went abstract decorative on the bowl. I went fanboy and did the Venture Bros. skull on a plate. We won’t get them back from the store until this weekend. I’ll post pics of them when we do.

“Lost” returns tonight. As Amy put it, I’m kinda jazzed. It’s the best sci-fi on tv right now.

Arkham Polytech – New strip over at ArkhamPolytech.com.

Girl and Her Gunship – First chapter coming along. First chapters are always rough. You’ve got to establish the universe, the main characters, the style and tone, and do it all without losing the reader to exposition.

Man, without caff, getting started in the morning is a lot harder. Doesn’t help my sinuses are balloon-filled today.

Had to replace the case fan in my main PC over the weekend. It had started to rattle. Probably nothing, but why risk a fan failure? So bought a new “quiet” fan. Case temp seems normal.

Girl and Her Gunship – Started in on chapter one Friday. Full steam ahead today.

Arkham Polytech – New strip tomorrow. The next five strips are already “done”, to varying degrees — drawn and inked, and just waiting to be digitized. Haven’t gotten much feedback on ‘em at all. Few viewers. But the only “marketing” I’m doing is low-key twitter and friends on facebook. At this point I really don’t want a lot of viewers — the strip is still evolving. Once I get 50 strips up, then I’ll worry about getting viewers.

Watched the return of Psyche last night. Great show. Good episode. The WWE or whatever guest star could almost act.

Girl and Her Gunship – Leaping into the writing this morning. Got the first sentence, so the book’s as good as done.

Arkham Polytech – New strip. Slice and Dice.

Okay, one iPad joke and then I’m done.

“iPad just works. But you’ll only need it once a month. And not at all if you’re over sixty.”

But seriously, it’s a five-hundred dollar (at a minimum) web browser. It doesn’t even have a phone, which means you still have to carry around your cell. And instead of a real op system it’s running the iPhone/App store system, which means it’s a closed garden system you can only run “approved” software on. And no stylus means it won’t even be any good as a digital drawing tablet. I’ll pass — on this round, anyway. ‘Course if I didn’t already have a Kindle, I’d be thinking about it.

Didn’t watch the State of the Union. I’m done with politics, and politicians. Unless I’m elected, of course. Then I promise to usher in an age of graft and corruption not seen since the Taft administration, and you’re all invited to the party.

Girl and Her Gunship – Outlined it yesterday. Doing a breakdown of the first third today.
