Midweek.
Today and tomorrow left in the work week.
It’s Comics and Sushi Wednesday.
And all appears to be well.

It turned out that SaraRules didn’t have rehearsal last night; she did, however, have plans to go swimming with my brother-in-law. So, she did that. I didn’t really feel terribly inclined to sit at home and play videogames (no, really, I feel fine…), so I headed over to the local Barnes & Noble and did a little drawing. I got three small/rough figures done. It wasn’t a lot, but it was nominally productive. I may go again tonight; we shall see.

For the past four-and-a-half months, I’ve been using shaving creams – Razorantium and Prince Triple Orange Blossom – from Lush. Fabulous products. (A tip of the hat and a nod to SaraRules for introducing me to Lush products.) I’m out of the creams and waiting for delivery of replacements, so I had to fall back to using Edge Pro Gel. While it’s not quite the same shave as I get from the Lush shaving creams, there is one benefit from using the Pro Gel: I can shave Better. Stronger. Faster… mainly because I can actually see the lather from the Pro Gel, as opposed to the more lotion-like nature of the shaving cream.

Stray Toasters

• I consider myself reasonably intelligent and occasionally even smart. (Yes, there is a difference; for the gamers out there, think INT vs. WIS) Despite this, there are times when I just miss something, regardless of the number of signs pointing the way. Case in point: I just realized, within the past… month or two, I guess… that this Thomas Broening is the same Thomas Broening that I went to school with. I’ve seen his work in a number of ad magazines over the years, but for whatever reason, 2+2 never equalled 4. Yep… I’m a genius.
