Okay, I admit I'm just posting here so I won't have a blank front page anymore.
However, if you're at all interested in what's going on in my life, I'm putting my shit together to try to buy a house (actually, my mom's house, which should be interesting), so wish me luck. I just hope whatever happens happens for the best. The same goes for whatever job opportunities or non-opportunities may be floating around in the ether. And, I suppose, for my comic, although I'm far more specific about what I think "For the best" means in that case. That would be getting it published, ASAP. Hopefully in two weeks it'll be completely done (the pitch, that is).
Any questions?
So the California Education Secretary is doing a public appearance and a preschool girl walks up to him and says. "My name is Isis. Did you know that means an Egyptian goddess?"
Unfortunately the secretary, Richard Riordan, misunderstood the question as "Do you know what my name means?" So, naturally, he replies, "It means stupid, dirty girl." Naturally! Of course, in his position, you would have told this sweet looking preschooler that she was stupid and dirty, too. Who among us wouldn't.
As usual, you have to dig a little further into the story to get to the best part. Here's a quote from the story, from CNN's website:
"Riordan, a venture capitalist who started a foundation supporting literacy, has a reputation for awkward -- some might say insensitive -- remarks and behavior. As mayor [of Los Angeles], he once greeted hunger strikers outside his office eating a hamburger."
Sometimes life is so much like sketch comedy it's scary.
I've been busy lately. Busy with what you ask? Busy with the comic of course! The pace has accelerated! Art is well under way. The cover is inked and being professionally colored. The first page is inked and soon to be professionally colored. The logo is being designed, the scripts are being tweaked (or need to, rather) and I just finished the first draft of the fourth issue this weekend, meaning the first storyline officially has an ending. I'm not good with endings, so forgive me if I'm feeling a little proud. What's new with the rest of you?
