Will write more tonight probably – now it’s off to the beach!

Let’s play "good news – bad news"!
Good news: Yesterday, my new scanner came!
Bad news: Yesterday evening, this cold/flu/ugly thing I’ve been fighting got the best of me. I was running a fever (99.7), had a horrible sore throat, and was totally exhausted and didn’t get my scanner set up!
Good news: This morning, my fever’s (almost) broken! (98.8)
Bad news: I slept until 9:15 and don’t have time to set up my scanner. Oh, and I’ve lost my voice. (Okay, some of you might count that in the good news).
Good news: I’m feeling better, so I’ll still be able to go to the beach tomorrow!
Bad news: I have to get all the stuff together for tomorrow to go, so I probably won’t have time to get a comic together tonight.
Good news: The Mariott has high speed internet access.
Bad news: I’m not dragging my scanner down there.
In other, shorter, words, comic schedule still iffy, but I’ll have *something* up even if it’s lame.
Dark!
I saw today’s comic on a PC today, and wow, is it dark. Sorry ’bout that, I’ll try to color test on the PC before publication next time…and if you have access to a Mac you really should check it out there. Much more blue.
Speaking of dark, I’ve got a script for saturday’s comic – sort of – and a start on the storyboard, but one of my models is busy sleeping on the sofa and refuses to go pretend to eat so I can take pictures of her. Mangy mutt ;) Maybe tomorrow. Tonight my throat hurts, so I’m going to bed. But be forewarned that Saturday’s comic is currently behind schedule.
You can lead a horticulture…
I don’t like William Carlos Williams but I do like Dorothy Parker.
New Routine
My work schedule changed as of yesterday, but thanks to the headache from Hell I didn’t get to try it out until today. It’s 8:45 and I still have 1 hr and 45 minutes until I have to be at work. Wow. I’ve already gotten up, worked out, taken a shower, and gotten dressed for work. Wow again. Jessdog is totally baffled – she thinks I’m staying home, I think. (She’s currently trying to burrow her way into the blankets on the sofa so my typing doesn’t bother her.)
And this extra time is good because the house is a pigsty and I might be able to get stuff done before work. Wow.
I know I’m going to miss the extra day off I once got from working a 4-day shift, but to be honest, things are looking pretty sweet right now.
Night, and the stars for keeps
Someone turn down the world, already.
Today’s forecast, migraine-level headache with steady throbbing pain throughout the day, accompanied by occasional crackling noises in the cheek sinuses, nausea, and the desire to throw the livingroom clock through a window because it’s ticking too loud.
whee, fun.
