Day 833 of 365 Again. All packed up. Tomorrow is my big shoot. The largest (non-wedding) I’ve ever done. It’s all headshots, and all quick sittings – about 15 minutes a person – definitely should be interesting. Packed up my studio tonight, along with all the gear the company sent me and some of my…

Day 829 of 365 Again. I’m going to do better. I swear. I know I said that last time. I was going to try to do better at answering people’s comments, and I was on task for a few days, then fell behind again. Three weeks behind. Well, I caught up tonight. I went and…

Day 826 of 365 Again. The end of the work week. Wheee! I guess I could have done something exciting with my Friday night. Really I considered it. But no. Instead I just stayed home and watched TV and played some video games. No drawing. No writing. No photography except for this. No work! But…

Day 818 of 365 Again. My new camera got here today. This is as excited as I’ve been about anything in a while. The Olympus Stylus 1030SW. Waterproof to 33 feet. Rated for 6.5 foot drops, 220 pounds of crushing force or -10 C temperatures. What more could you want in a camera? Ok, it…

Day 803 of 365 Again. Still working on my Halloween costume. Don’t you just love the way he drama is building? I thought so. I know it doesn’t look like much. hell, it acutally doesn’t look like anything. But trust me, it’s all part of the process and we’re well underway. This is going to…

Day 753 of 365 Again. You know, in 752 days, I don’t think I ever got around to doing one of these before. Crazy, huh? First day back at work after a long weekend is always rough. I was exhausted when I got home. Exhausted and sore. I spent the entire 3 day weekend soaking…

Day 723 of 365 More. This is the best time of year. It’s driving me crazy, but its great. We’re less than a week away from Jammy Jam, my annual birthday party. The comic is going great (in fact, I put a new episode up today so go check it out). On top of that,…

Day 704 of 365 More.

Sometimes every day just seems longer than the last.

I am so far behind on everything. I have pictures of Leia to edit. I have two or possibly even three shoots to get through this week. I have a bachelor party to throw this weekend, and through all of that I still have to get Thursday’s Cosmic Hellcats up and find some time to do next Monday’s since I’m going to be so busy this weekend.

Speaking of Hellcats, Max and I are almost caught up through all the plots I’ve written so far. So I need to find time to throw together another few months worth of strips before then so he has something to draw. I also have been wanting to work on the second issue of the paper comic but I haven’t even had time to think about that (or any of the other related projects that I haven’t yet announced) in months.

Speaking of writing, I even have a nice little rant brewing in my head that I’ve wanted to get up in my blog but haven’t had time to compose. I have written anything there in months. I suck on so many different levels.

I also have a birthday coming up. And with my birthday that means planning Jammy Jam. I am so far behind in preparations for that that it’s scary. Maybe it’s best that I really do blow up the sun. But you know, you’re all welcome to get me presents just in case.

And on top of that I have an actual 9-5 job to hold down.

You ever just feel like your drowning? If so you’re probably doing better than me. I don’t even remember what air smelled like

Day 675 of 365 More.

*sigh*

So I hobbled up to the cigarette store after dinner to get some smokes (my knee is still screwed) and I looked up in the sky and the clouds were back lit in the absolute most beautiful way and I knew it had to be today’s self-portrait. So I hobbled back home and got my camera and my 50mm lens and tripod and then hobbled back up the hill to set up.

And then I kncked my tripod over!

*ARRRRGGGGHHHHH*

Luckily my camera is fine, hence me not just killing myself on the spot, but the casing to the 50 completely cracked open. It’s ruined.

On a good note, at least it was my cheapest lens. But as any photographer knows, the 50 is like the bread and butter. I’ve already ordered a new one.

*sigh*

Day 652 of 365 More.

It’s a hockey night in Pittsburgh!

Tonight was the first day of the Stanley Cup championships. I’m not nearly as big a hocky fan as I am of football, but on a night like this, I have to support the team.

Fat lot of good it did us.

We got blown out 4-0. Luckily, its a long series, so hopefully we’ll get them next time.

Actually, I had kind of predicted the blow out. I’m in a pool at work for the cup. I predicted that the Pens would win the series in 6 games with a total score of 11 points. When Steph asked me how they were only going to have 11 points after 6 games, I told her they were going to get blown out in at least one game, and win another 1-0, so really its only about scoring 10 points in 3 games. Much more reasonable.

Also filmed the podcast today. In a total surprise, 2 min. into the show, Stephen introduced my mom. Apparently he was in the area, so they filmed the episode from her house. It was a total surprise to me, and pretty much the whole show is just about embarrassing me. Still, it was a fun time. I can’t wait to see how the final broadcast turns out.

GO PENS!

Day 635 of 365 More. I am such an attention whore. The Half Show asked me to be the guest on their broadcast for this week, and since I am all about shameless self-promotion, of course I agreed. Show went pretty good. After so many weeks of doing the 365 Days Podcast, it’s interesting to…

Day 626 of 365 More. Yep. Just like I thought. I really don’t know what to do with myself. I had been thinking, as much as I loved the Hellcat project it would be nice when I could get away from it. Today was my first day where I didn’t have to do Hellcats stuff…

Day 614 of 365 More. Oh god my head…. I have no idea what’s wrong with me. I started getting a headache during the middle of the day at work and its grown since then. I’ve taken a couple Aleve and I can function, but only barely. It was my intent to just take this…

Day 607 of 365 More. It’s gonna be another of those bitchy posts. Just so you know. Sometimes I love this project. A lot of the time really. Every few weeks or so, someone sends me mail or leaves me a comment telling me how 365 has changed their life and thanking me. 365 never…

Day 537 of 365 More. And now, my sleep schedule is all screwed up. I decided to do that Kevin Smith movie extra gig. My call was 8am, and I didn’t want to be late, so for the first time in ages, I went to sleep early. Around 4am Steph woke me up. The wind…
