Today was my last day in Brisbane before I head back to the sticks for another two months.
I spent time with my grandmother and father, nursed an epic hang-over, saw a screening of Citizen Kane and ate a 1kg burrito.

I feel none of these things are as awesome as having a stripper pole on my car but damnit, Paul, I'm trying.

A 1 kg burrito.  Sorry Doc, but I pity anyone who is your traveling companion.

Today I'm gonna eat cupcakes for breakfast while watching a download of the most recent episode of the United States of Tara.

Also, it is a long weekend here in Canada, and I've declared it "the weekend to end procrastination" which shall include:  dealing with boring documentation in order to change name on medical card, health claims, credit car and passport to married name (yeah, I've put that off over 2.5 yrs), dealing with taxes bullshit (they were due in April, but what ev.  I likely get back a small amount as usual so no big deal), pricing out the cheapest vet for heart worm, flea and distemper treatment (meant to deal with that earlier), vacuuming (probably will procrastinate on this a little more), and a whole bunch of other shit.

Canucks and Sharks - in HD! Also, during that, Les Paul on my new Marshall practice amp. Sorry, neighbors!

Yesterday we got new crashes, a new throne, and a new snare stand.

yeah, also, you need an undergraduate degree in architecture. All of my friends who graduated with that degree are doing things like waiting tables, or volunteering at the STL Landmarks Association (basically the Preservation Society).

I am considering urban planning or something like that. I need to take the GRE.

My dad, after a solid year of me talking about this stuff, commented that he knows the guy who is the head of the Federal Housing Something Something. So I guess that is worth looking into.

I am mad because I got really excited about these paid Department of Housing and Urban Development internships, and then I realized you have to be a currently enrolled student to do them. Boo.

My brother-in-law has a biology undergrad degree and he did his MA in Landscape Architecture in 2 years and got a job in the field before he graduated. Sure, the job market sucks for architects, but it sucks for everyone just starting out.

I dunno, you just are always talking about all the cool old buildings in STL, I figured you'd love studying it for real, do what you love, find your passion and all that jazz. To me, there is very little difference between working at a grocery store with an anthro degree you don't know what to do with and working at a restaurant with an architecture degree you can't yet use.

Just a thought.

I won the Coveted Brother Bryan Bryan Memorial Award.

Is that the award for the raddest artcar dude in Houston?  'Cause I'd say it's overdue.

Basically yes.  The award is given to the H.A.C.K. (Houston Art Car Klub) member who "Walks the walk and talks the talk" of artcars and is voted on by the members of the Klub.

How do you not win that award every year?

I am the award's eighth recipient.  They gave it out for the first time the first year that I got involved in artcars.  The first recipient was Rebecca Bass who as a high school art teacher every year builds a car with her students.  The next year the award went to Nicole Strine who has been an artcar daily driver for over 20 years.  She's now also the president of the K.L.U.B.  The next winner was Bryan Taylor who has been described as the George Baily of Houston.  He co-founded and led H.A.C.K. for 16 years.  The only reason it took 3 years for him to win is because he recused himself from consideration because of his position as H.A.C.K. president.  Kenny Browning won next.  Kenny is the ring leader of BFH (Bastards from Hell) his crew which drive these really cool stand up scooters.  He also has a party boat (trailer) that he pulls behind his artcar filled with as many as 20-25 people.  He's also a former street skater and champion skate jouster.  In '08 Shelley Buschur won the trophy.  She's been making artcars for many years and her daily driver car is a political statement (formerly anti Bush, now anti war, which is a pretty bold stand in a conservative city such as Houston).  Then Ben Gibson won for being a great helper to his fellow man and artcar artist.  And last year the award went to Johnny Rojas who always volunteers in a big way to serve the artcar community.  Hell, he made the trophy. 

And this year they gave it to me.  I really can't believe it.

...apologize for being on here a lot less but I've thrown myself way into finally doing a second mini-comic.

Five pages inked and my left hand is numb for totally non-erotic reasons.

today my roommates are leaving on a road trip to Baltimore, NYC, and Boston. Fuck. Having a job sucks.

Living with two unemployed dudes is going to drive me insane.

Today I am going to begin my first night-shift hitch since '00 or so. Thankfully it's pretty slow. I should try to take a nap.
