comic books

At some point here I’m going to talk about the fascinating (to me, anyway) collaborative process of creating a comic book. I’m also going to talk about real life comic book physics, or at least stuff that makes me think of them that way. Apparently, however, I’m not going to do that now. I couldn’t figure out why I was so *tired*, until I remembered that I walked 6 miles today. I trekked down to the bank to try this whole wiring thing again. We’ll see how it goes, won’t…

Wow.

I was right. Livejournal *does* contain All Knowledge. I’m never doing research again…! You have all been incredibly, insanely helpful.

big day.

Big day planned today. Going to spend the morning typing in the Chance pages and seeing how much of a script I’ve got here. Doing to do some laundry in there, too. This afternoon I think I’ll go into Cork to sign up for a class or two, and maybe do some shopping: apples, jeans, new shoes, shampoo; that sort of thing. Maybe a couple of more winter-weight shirts. Need to call the bank and speak slowly to them regarding a wire transfer. Should do that before I go to…
