today i went and got a couple applications....Dionne Commons wants a per diem chef so that looked good, and Goodwill in Bath needs a couple sales associates, so yay. i best be gettin hired somewhere soon.
also i went and picked up tickets at Bullmoose for Lewis Black (3/8) and Henry Rollins (3/20) for me and Zack, they're both performing at the State Theater and they should be awesome.
i have to write a scene of my story about Waddlesworth, the penguin that leaves Antarctica to see the world, but i don't really feel like it...but i have to. sucky. i'd rather work on my comics....speaking of which, i went to Slave Labor's site and copied their submission guidelines, and once i have more material and a good idea i'm going to go for it....Slave Labor Graphics, btw, is the company that publishes Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Lenore and Gloom Cookie. i'm not really into creating an epic tale of mental anguish and gory death (JTHM) or anything as soap opera-y as Gloom Cookie, but i guess Lenore is kinda close....just a bunch of really cute, odd, sometimes morbid stories, not necessarily centering around a cute little dead girl, maybe alternating main stories, like Penguins in Hats and The Fridge Presents, with cute little fillers like The Easily Offended Angry Killer Bees. i wish i got a chance to work on the comics more, but my house is definitely NOT conducive to working on anything, because, well, its just not. the atmosphere is sucky and people are always being loud and retarded and bothering me, plus the dogs aren't very helpful either. i can't wait till i move out....this endeavor will probly have to wait till after i do. i guess i'll try for submitting my work to SLG by this fall, that will give me all spring to develop my themes and style and all summer to draw....so my motivation is, if i keep working whenever i can this winter and spring, in the summer i'll be able to spend nice long days outside drawing, and that sounds awesome. so, if i ever complain to anyone that i'm bored, remind me of the summer to come, ok?
