What if all I had was a sword?
Sorry for the late update. We hosted a group of high school students this morning. They did a mock negotiation of the type I normally do at work. I'm worried that maybe I'm a bit more replaceable than I suspected.
The world is still watching
I intended to post my Olympics Horrible, but I can't find the energy to write about the experience. This one needs fewer words.
This was inspired from this cartoon background found in this collection of Pocahontas (1985) backgrounds.

"Go ahead, ask me anything about the government's secret experiments"
I love this guy.

The blank page is sucking out my soul
That's an OLPC (One Laptop per Child) in the Horrible. One of my writing mates uses it to write during our Sunday morning meet-ups.
We're off to watch the women's gold medal match in Vancouver on Friday. It took some arm twisting, but I am looking forward to a new photo album (it's sad that that's the reason I do things now).

It's not always an easy bargain
There's no sun! I can't figure out what happened.

I should be sleeping
Another beautiful Monday morning. I can get used to this. The weekend went by quickly again. Lots of parks and dogs. I didn't doodle as much as I had hoped. I may end up paying for this.

I have to stop living in my small head
It's Friday (yeah, I know, this shouldn't count as a post).

I would be rich
Ah, the dream of doodling for a living! We'd have to move from the Villa to a cardboard box and I'd have to pirate electricity to power my drawing tablet. But think of the fun....
Today's kitchen tidbit: don't place salt in an air-tight metal container. The trapped water and salt eat away at the metal and the rust turns the salt brown.

What haven't you told me
Nothing to say today. I'm exhausted from not enough sleep and too much Naginata yesterday.

Injustice is a dish best served cold
Another morning, another blue sky. This time sans fog. My back feels straighter today. At least it did before I slouches into my office chair. So much for good posture.

There is no perfect world
But this one is close, at least today: a foggy morning gave way to sun and blue skies, with temperatures heading again into the mid-50s.
We downloaded all of our camera's photographs this weekend. We're a bit heavy on the Naginata pictures. We'll hopefully have lots of other things to photograph this year to fill our 2010 photo albums.

Another rainy day. It certainly beats the snow.

It loses its meaning the further away I go
Must have coffee.... Too little caffeine flowing through my veins. Must rectify.

The emperor has no clothes
We're stuck in the middle of a group of suffering Horribles. (Luckily, my actual suffering took place last summer.)

They want me to change
It was a fun-filled shopping weekend. It's foggy over here, but as soon as it clears, it'll be sunny and hopefully warm.

Sometimes frogs do fall from the sky
I love this horrible. There are frogs in it. And they're falling from the sky. I sometimes crack myself up. Like in multiple pieces. Happy Friday!

That's going to be us some day
Looks like another nice day out there. Might be time to take out the rocketship.

If I lived in a different time
Or a different place. I have lots of greener grass fantasies. I imagine I'm not the only one.

I never said I knew very much
Another feeble attempt to create a multi-panel comic. As you can see, this went as well as the last two.
The sun is peaking through the clouds. It's another glorious Tuesday.

Too hot to doodle
Back in July this was true. Today, not so much. Although it has been very dry because of the forced air in the house. We went out and bought a fancy humidifier last night after Julie woke up with a bloody nose from the dryness. The white noise is very relaxing. It still felt dry even though it said it was close to 48% humidity.
