And not in the dog poo sense either. The husband and I are chatting on-line and I made that remark about my drawings, and he found it to be clever. Maybe that's what I'll start referring to my comics as: "Messes on paper." Of course, once they're in the computer, they're "messes on the screen" but that's beside the point. I've been doodling off and on all day while archiving yet another web comic, and I really do think that most of what I draw is just messy goop which is (and should be) uninteresting to most. Who lets me get away with this stuff? I think that after I'm done with my thesis, I might audit an art drawing class or something. I'm sick of knowing only two things about my art: 1) I don't practice enough and 2) I suck. Maybe I should stick to poetry and fiction.
Hmm, though I wonder what a comic strip using pics of my Lego people would be like… Hehe. I'm massively on the Lego addiction track right now. I spent two and a half hours today on their site looking at what models are available today as well as models made by kids ranging from 4 to 31. Mostly goofy stuff, but hell, someone probably likes it. I think I'll play with my Lego sets some more tonight after I clean Squeak's tank and do some exercises. I have to get in better shape before I can even begin hoping to start jogging any time in the near future. And I also need to remember to close the blind in my office over the weekend. Cthulu's twice as furry with algae now. I need to get him a pet pleco or something. What an interesting symbionic (sp!) relationship that would be! Cthulu doesn't move fast enough to freak out the pleco, and the pleco could take care of Cthulu's back hair for him! How cute!
At any rate, the caffeine I just had is making my bladder want to cry, so I better get to the bathroom. Then it's back to not doing any work for the rest of the afternoon.
Hmm…:
Crying bladders are not good for anyone. Would a toothbrush work? Whatever you do, get all of the algae, I know what hell it can be to get rid of it. I had some really nasty red/brown algae that I'm just now getting out of Mr.Pinchy's/Alfalfa's tank. Btw, think of some appropriate clown fish and anenome names. I figure once I get settled into the new house next month I'm going to add some new denizens.
Legos!!!:
Hooray for Legos! When I was a young kid, my aunt Jenny gave us a steamer trunk full of 'em; I really want to dig 'em back out and play sometime, but they're buried underneat mountains of my mom's old ShopGoodwill.com stuff.
Symbiotic:

What's a pleco?:
Too lazy to Google…
Uh:
Short for plecostomus (sp?). Hang on, lemme check the spelling on that… Yeah, here: plecostomus. You can find the little guys here on Petco's page: http://www.petco.com/caresheets/fish/Plecostomus.pdf
Oh yeah!:
We've had those before. Remember Jenny's gigantic one? hehe
