dolariSorry I haven't actually been writing about anything IN my life recently. It's been pretty dead - wake up, go to work, go to bed, wake up, talk to emily, go to bed, go to work, go to bed, rob a bank, talk to Emily....
One thing that's gone way downhill with this shift sleeping is just Going Out an Doing Anything. On my days off, I stay at home and draw comics that I haven't drawn over the weekdays because I've been asleep. With the 6 day work week, that's been keeping from even THAT.
So there hasn't been much to say, really. Just posts about whatever has caught my fancy for that day (That last post about American/Canadian History, and the one before that about the cartoons are a good example).
Yesterday, though, I got an invite from an old old old friend,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hurricane_amy, to come down and nosh on some barbecue and visit with her family. I hadn't seen any of them in over 15 years (almost 20 in her mom's case). And it was a blast. Kim, Amy's sister, gave me a hug that lasted at least two hours, and her mom's hug was just as long.
I hadn't had a good barbecue in a long time, and this was a GOOOOOD barbecue. We visited, I got show Amy's nieces that you CAN draw comics if you put your mind to it (one kept complaining she could only copy, and I told her that's how I got my start). People played with my hair, we played a lot of Rock Band (If I hear another round of Blitzkrieg Bop, I'm gonna puke), and when I left, I'd had a damned good time and reaquainted myself with some very old good friends.
I'm hoping to see them again this summer when I go through san Francisco my way to Seattle. :)
