The Current State of Lurker
Dec. 26th, 2008 01:36 amSeveral hours ahead of schedule at work. Exceedingly tired. Trying to reread Hogfather. Chorus to the song "So What?" keeps running in circles in my head. Am likely blinking an excessive amount.
Hmm hmmm hmmm. So what. Feeling rock star. Something something. Dah duh dah dee dah.
Over five hours to go. Wooooo!

Car? Why you no go car?
Jun. 29th, 2007 09:31 amMy car would not start this morning. It made evil clicking noises at me. So I had to wait for the AAA battery guy. He cleaned all the yuck off my battery. Then glared at it, because a Toyota Camry Wagon manages to have damn near everything be non-standard from a Camry. But eventually we got the car to make with the go. He thinks its MOSTLY the thingys that connect the battery to the cables that draw the power. But the battery is at LEAST a year and a half old (how long I've had the car), with the average life of a car battery in Phoenix being 2 years. Hopefully its not the rest of the cables. Or the starter. Or the alternator. It would be nice if this stays under $200...
Also last night was full of idiots. One of whom called the police to harass one of the other idiots. So. It was a less than fun night in many ways. Now for sleep...

Please line up in an orderly row
May. 20th, 2007 03:15 amI am not a happy person right now. For which I blame people. Drunk people. Immature internet jag-off people. Television Network Executives. Defensive fans of jerks. All must die. I need an Overreaction Violence Stick +5, a list of addresses and a series of alibis...
Or a substitute for sugar that actually TASTES like sugar. Fuck I want some Oreos without having to worry about getting sick for a day afterwards...

Loooooooooooong day
Apr. 9th, 2007 10:41 pmGot around 7 am to finish clearing stuff away for the carpet guys to take out the old and put in the new. Which got done around 8 pm (which was pretty fast). Watched The Departed on dvd, then went and saw The Last Mimzy (very good, everyone should go see before it leaves the theaters or at least remember to grab it when the dvd comes out). Bought some books, dropped off meds, got car washed. Finished Tanya Huff book, started Elmore Leonard one. Moved a few things back after the carpet guys left. Computer at home still isn't set up and the connection here at work is a little wonky tonight. Plus over 7 hours to go on shift. Very tired. Now going to try and catch up on everything I missed today...
How to get people to read your comic
Mar. 29th, 2007 02:12 amI was flipping thru various old comics blog posts and I somehow kept stumbling across variations on "How to Get More of X Readers". Where X is women or teens or kids or gay penguins or whatever. And there are various answers always posted. Mostly boiling down to, write better stuff and the readers will follow kind of thing...
They're all wrong of course. The best way to get more readers is to put a $50 bill in every issue of your comic. I guarentee your sales figures across ALL demographics will go thru the roof. Except for the gay penguin one. You need to put sardines in for them. Though since they only read martial arts comics translated into French it doesn't much matter. No one knows why this is true. But it is. You can look it up. Trust me...
Ok, off to sleep...
