Bridge:02 [Post-A-Week]

Chasing Comets was conceptualized as a weekly blog. It hasn’t even been updated monthly. And hell, I’m unsure of many of the previous posts even have content. (Like last night. Seriously, did I have a point? GOSH.)

So I’m doing it. I’m going to subscribe to this post-a-week nonsense and I will kick ass and take names and keep my sanity by writing occasionally. And posting original artwork and comics. Because I have a scanner, goddammit. (And people I don’t know actually follow me on Tumblr for some reason.)

So 2011 will be the year Chasing Comets actually becomes something greater than a mental vomit bag. Now let’s hope I can also print Nuclear Fiction v1.1 before March.

Track:09 Take Your Time [Coming Home]

Getting the self-mockery out of the way early this post.

The past few months tossed me multiple opportunities to make a fool of myself, which I gobbled up with misguided enthusiasm. They also waved some chances to reaffirm my belief in myself and my love for my pursuits over my head, which I plucked from the air and treasured. With another stretch of road behind me in this travel tale of experience and friendship (I wonder what the MacGuffin is in this story), I find myself tired of dwelling on my trials, mistakes, and revelations. What wasn’t covered in my surprise comic “I|WILL|FEAR” (part of Nuclear Fiction v1.1) was made light of on other sheets of Bristol, so dwelling on it in prose would be reaching a level of self-indulgence I would be uncomfortable with.

So where does that leave me today?

Bridge:01 [Activating Vacation]

I survived the semester, so legitimate post to come in the next few days.  This is how I’ve spent my first day free:

• Woke up at 6 AM to Daft Punk feeling fresh and splendid.
• Took a walk to see the moon. It was no longer eclipsed, but it was still dazzling.
• Watched the sunrise through my window while making a comic about feeling fresh and splendid.
• Ate a sandwich
• Rewatched the first episode of G Gundam. (A lot stronger than I remember it being, actually.)
• Slept some more to Metric.
• Got up again at noon.
• Facebook campaigned for my friends to spend the winter break watching Mobile Suit Gundam. Y’know, if they’re bored.

Things to do:

• Clean
• Pack
• Read A Contract with God (Eisner <3)
  
• Read some Madman (Allred <3)
• Watch The Life Aquatic (acoustic Portuguese Bowie covers <3)

Hopefully the rest of the break will keep up to this high standard of awesome (with additional PunchGun revising and drawing).
