A Foolish Consistency

the past week(s) (has/have) been revelatory…

1. I have figured out that I am lactose intolerant.  The cronic stomach problems and acid reflux that have plagued me the past few years only happen when I have dairy.  I’ve always wanted to go vegan, but have lacked the discipline (and now live in NYC where it’s really really hard to eat anything not fried in extra animal guts) except when I was in Berkeley, where I hope to live again someday.  My body is telling me, GO VEGAN!  Yes, body.

2. This is something I’ve had to realize over and over, but drawing is central to a healthy mental state for me.  I haven’t been drawing for the past year, and I’ve been really depressed and crazy.  I started drawing again this week, and the drawings aren’t very good, but it’s hella therapeutic.

ZombieHarmony.

I haven’t been updating for a variety of reasons, including depression, physical illness, and wicked insomnia that makes it hard to put coherent thoughts together.  If only I was able to make *use* of all that awake time, but alas, my brain, she is jelly.

Anders Loves Maria (occasionally naughty, but in a European “Life” way, not a gratuitous way) is an excellent webcomic.

Subway speed

July 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure everyone working at the Subway I went to for lunch was on speed.  They had the works: impatient manner, bulging eyes, rocking back and forth on their feet, clipped, interruptive speech…everything I remember from kids doing speed in high school and college.

Webcomics

July 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’ve been spending way too much time lately reading webcomics – I’m a sucker for narrative about subcultures I am/have been a part of, and media that is largely not determined by industry types that don’t love the medium.  Or something.

Here are some of my favorites; I easily found a Questionable Content banner, but the rest are just links.  Ole!

Questionable Content

-xkcd, a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. (a favorite: …loves the Discovery Channel)

-Diesel Sweeties

-Dinosaur Comics

-Wondermark

-The Perry Bible Fellowship
