It's really late.
You know what I have to do tomorrow? First, I have to go try and figure out some more odd things about financial aid at the college campus. Then on the way home I have to buy kitty litter for our geriatric cats that have become more and more... productive. And ice. I have to buy ice. For our drinks.
I also have taken to going to frisbee again with people from my high school. The only problem that arises with this is when an actual game of ultimate frisbee gets going I realize that I've never really been a "sports person." I am, as they say, a "Knight of the Dinner Table." I like board games, puzzles, and other games that don't necessarily require me stumbling across a field, gasping in ragged breaths. All of which done to give the impression that I have some kind of athletic skill and, thus, more worth as a person. I like throwing a disc around as much as the next guy, but there's something about organized sports... Remember Calvinball? That's right up my alley, generally. I was the arts'n'crafts kid, not the running-around type.
- Appreciation: Peanut Butter, Jelly, and M&M sandwiches (toasted, of course, as all sandwiches should be).
- Resentment: That my house is still predominately messy, which means that my many planned projects will remain in limbo until it becomes cleaner and more orderly.
Science: I've always maintained that it would be great if they could somehow devise a healthy chocolate, especially now that I'm no longer a teenager and have to start worrying about health-related issues. Well, it turns out that dark chocolate already has some good stuff in it. Problem is, I'm more of a milk chocolate guy.
Art: The works of Kazu Kibuishi are found at his site, Bolt City. Really nicely done comic art. The various episodes of "Copper" may seem a bit random, but they're still well done. He seemed to capture my current, general feelings about romance in this one quite nicely (love is like a blackberry vine: sweet fruit, painful thorns, and invasive like nothing else). He also has me wanting to read more of Daisy Kutter than what's online.
Otherwise: I saw this, by the makers of Magical Trevor, on TV tonight and immediately fell in love with it. I wish my kitties did that dance.Also, I think I want a T-shirt with the quote in the third panel of this.
