Dave Sim has made an extremely generous offer to readers of this journal (and indeed, to readers not of this journal, but just people who simply hear about his offer elsewhere on the Internet. Memes propagate, after all), which is the kind of offer that I found as interesting as he did. It’s this:

If you’d like to read one of the Sandman parody issues of Cerebus, Dave will send you one. He’ll send it to you very happily, free of charge. He will sign it for you, too. And he won’t charge you a thing. Not even postage.

We have a second-part of the plan too, which involves doing good things for the CBLDF. But that’s for later. For now, if you’re even mildly curious, write Dave a letter. Tell him you’re curious…

I have written the anti-cover letter, and I’m pretty sure that it’s going to get me hired at the Ann Arbor Paper.

My doctor is great.  The other doctor in the office, and the physician’s assistants, are all perscription-happy twits.  When I make appointments to see the doctor specifically, I’m pushed off on his incompetent PA’s.  No more.  I’m going to change doctors.  Maybe I’ll get one that will listen to me, and treat me as something more than an ignorant child/layman.

So, the plan on Saturday was to stay home, because I was feeling anti-social, and let take the car to ‘s place for the bonfire.  I ended up giong, and was better off for it, in the end.  I miss my tarot cards.  Gonna have to break them out and brush off all of the dust.

My apartment complex wants me to renew my lease at the same rent amount, but is going to start charging for water and trash pickup.  I already pay for heat.  I’m pretty sure that I can get a better deal somewhere else in Ypsilanti, and agrees.  Time to start apartment-shopping, it seems.  Maybe a house-apartment in Depot Town.  That would be pretty schweet.

Pssst.  Somebody has job interviews this week.  Send her good feelings, and give her calls to keep her cheery during the dehumanizing ordeal that is the interview.

Blast Punch Optimus Primal from Beast Machines is now at work.  Total of 8 Optimi.  :)

So I got called out for my mushy post yesterday.  Thanks guys. :)

I slept a lot better last night.  It helped my mood initially, but I’ve been swinging a bit while I was here.  I think I’m just ready for a weekend.  Oh, and for the re-debut of my Mage game.  That’s right, , you suck.  Heh.

There’s all this meaningful stuff rolling around in my head, but it’s all little meaningful stuff.  Like, how I was all happy that I signed up for an IPM early, because was going to be jumping out of a plane that day, and then Deb posted about her bonfire, and I was all, “Well, shit.”  Then, after the small important thing about signing up early, the small happy re-realization that I was as spiritually at home amongst all that electronics as I am in front of a bonfire hit me, which made me smile.  There are little things about searching for the battery for the laptop that are pleasing, and make me feel like a real writer.  This is a reward for re-determining to work for the Ann Arbor Paper, as the hell calls today are a punishment for taking this long.  Little things.

I’m not all about this Maya Cosmos book by David Feidel, Linda Schele, and Joy Parker.  It’s well-researched, well-written, and such, but something about the Mayan artwork, how it’s so packed in and over-busy, makes me twitch.  I think I’m going to put it back on the shelf.

Transmetal Optimus Primal is now at my desk.  Optimal Optimus and Beast Machines Optimus Primal will come next week.  Soon… soon, I will have my weekend. :)

Woke up with a skull-crushing sinus headache this morning. Slept for crap last night. Obviously, I miss the . I’m amazed and reassured that we still miss each other this much after only one day. Yes, it’s sickeningly cute… deal. :)

An Aleve took care of the headache, and work has been very tolerable since then. I was sure that I was going to be late this morning, thanks to the construction that’s causing a backup RIGHT before the Zeeb Rd. exit, but I was smart and got off on the Jackson Rd. exit. On time, with two minutes to spare. :) Unfortunately, I was so sluggish this morning that I didn’t pack a lunch. Subway turkey sammich, here I come.

YAY!! I won’t have to import this from Japan!! It was originally a Japanese version of Optimus Prime called Big Convoy (Prime’s original name in Japan was Convoy), and was never issued here. I wonder if they’re going to do something similar with LioConvoy. Huh. EEEEEVIL PRIME!!
