Caramel Frappuccino, Cartooning Policies, and Jazz
Yesterday, the drive-through at Starbucks was just nuts. Everyone in the universe, and a few visitors from other universes I think, came through the drive-through and ordered at least one and usually 2 - 5 caramel frappuccinos. Nothing else. No coffee, so pastries, no tea or tazoberry ... just oceans and oceans of caramel frappuccino. The caramel smell was enough to knock you down after a while! Oy. Thanks goodness I have today off at home.
As of this week, I am instituting a new cartooning goal: that by Saturday midnight, all the strips for the following week (both SJ and NN) will be drawn and posted, or at least sent to Hikaru (i.e.,
katayamma) for coloring. I am getting really sick of all these missed days. I'm spending all of today and whatever time I have tomorrow night working on next week's strips, to get them out of the way. Then, in the future, if I can get the strips done before Saturday, I can use the rest of that week to write, play games, work on D&D, or whatever.
Once pay starts rolling in, I need to add a few tunes to my jazz collection. I have a lot of swing classics, particularly of Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw, but I really want to get recordings of:
There's also a song I haven't heard in a long time, but would like to find, called "The Tennessee Birdwalk." I have no idea who did it, unfortunately.
Anyway, that's all the news that's fit to transmit electronically at the moment. Catcha later!
