Why am I enjoying this?

It looks like I may in fact have to take my former landlady to small claims court to try and get my deposit back, and for some reason I feel a bit like I've been given the gift of an adventure.

I do want the money back but I might just be happy to have the experiance of even if for some strange reason it doesn't go my way.

I could get all dressed up and stand in front of a judge and answer politely any questions asked of me and tell my story to the court (I like story telling, as you can probably tell from my epic sagas of the mundane days in my life).

It gives me squiggles of happyness, which may be the key to caountering the pink socks of the apocalypse. I don't know I'll have to think on that part more.

So research the process of doing this I must. Though I think I shall be very put out if she doesn't show up and I win by default, more so then I would be by going there and getting told I'm in the wrong.


I still got a lot to do but that's okay, it's sort of part of my life at this time of the year.

Take care of yourselves,

Buckle down

No not to the therapy couch in the psych ward, I need to do some major cramming to get myself ready for connecticon.

It's a month away but I may well need all of that time to get everything done and ready for the trip. I'll likely be bussier then I am when I'm working during the school year but if all goes well it will pay off big for me come the first few days of august.

Take care of yourselves

Hum, I should really tally up

I'm looking at all the things I'm doing of late and realising that I've not really done a master list check in a while and That might help me see how much I've done this year and where I should be focussed next.

Sorry this is so short but I had errands to run today after makeing a map of an item that I submitted to the cartographers guild and my deviant art page, then did a bit of research and started getting ready for the weekend.

Busy time right now.

Take care of yourselves.

Where are they now.

I've found myself wondering where have all the toys gone?

Not the flashy and shiny things that clutter kids rooms or whir and beep their way into stores and home around the country, but real toys.

The Kalidescopes and gyroscopes, the yoyos, and spyrographs, the cup and balls and there timeless kin.

I have had an urge to find and tinker with kalidescopes lately, thinking of ways to alter them and create new and intresting one for my own amusement and the amusment of others around me. I looked in all the places one might go in search of toys and have not found anything at all of these old classics, they are gone from this world and I missed their passing.

Take care of yourselves.

It's only been three days

no biggy, only they went by so fast I didn't even notice. I think time is catching up with me. I'm a little worried I'm going to blink and summer will be over and I'll have gotten nothing done.

Well not nothing done exactly, It's just that it's taking so long to actually get some of the things I planned done that it feels like nothing is getting done.

But never fear I've got lots of little things going on that will get done anyway.

Got about half of what I wanted to do today done, but that was a rather sustancial list anyway. Now hopefully tomorrow I can get some big stuff out of my way and then proceed to work on a few of the other projects, Then spend all day sunday getting some major headway through the lists of things. Then monday through wednsday I hope to get myself into a confortable in control and making good progress kind of place.

Who knows by this time next week I may have taken over the world. Ugh, can you imagine the amount of work that would require each day. I think I'll pass on that. Too much to do already and no minions to delegate to.

Anyway...
Take care of yourselves,

Who is that in the mirror

Or some similar confusion. I seem to have forgotten how to live my life.

Okay so maybe it's not that severe. I spaced that tonight was socrates cafe night and only caught the last half of it. I only got half my planned errands done and I gots stuff still to do tonight but no time.

I should pull it all together by the end of the week and then I have to figure out what I'm doing for my birthday.

lots of errands to do over the next few days. and I need to settle into getting some much needed work done on some projects. I just feel so scatter brained lately and I've got a great many things I need to do and get organised soon.

And I also just heard that some of the genetic family down south a ways have decided to open a whole new chapter of drama for themselves.

Sigh, can I go insane now for a little while, it would be very relaxing to be an absolutely nutters fruit cake for a bit. But I've too much to do at the moment. Maybe later.

Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack.

Right, well

I managed to get a few errands done today, sort of get prepared for all the stuff I have to do for tomorrow and mailed off the reply to the courthouse about jury duty.

It struck me as funny to realise today that worrying about having to stress my system out by waking early for jury duty and sitting for long hours in a court room in order to not get picked while constantly worrying about my digestive system collapsing and having to make a break for it. And yet it never occured to me until today that it might just be a legitimate excuse to not be on a jury.

I mean aside from my obviously tweaked view of the world, the only other more disruptive thing for a court case would be somebody who has to use the bathroom 8 or nine times in an hour... and in a hurry.

The don't want me. Which sort of stinks... but only sort of. I'd love to get payed for voicing my opinion on many differant things. Just not so much at a time thats about halfway through my regular sleep schedual, in a place where I can't get safe food and the stress of both those things causes a problem for my illness.

I wonder if there is such a thing as a professional juror for night courts. I think I'd be good at it.

Right, well, gotta go take care of some things tonight before bed and then I've a whole busy day ahead of me tomorrow.

Take care of yourselves.

We'll see

Okay, I've had a few of the occasional flashes of brilliance occur to me today, and a bit of pride in well thought out ideas, a bit of beating myself up about not doing some things I should. I tripped over a keyboard cable, talk to somebody who will get together with me next week so we can use power tools (it's okay they are not too far from the hospital and I have seveal days to recover from/ addapt to injuries and maimings), discovered a few places to supply me with supples with which to make many wonderful projects.

Read up on a few of my favorite web comics. Don't have a full load of laundry to do yet. Measured and planned some arranging of the living space, got some more inspiration. Came up with some more story ideas, and set my plans for the weekend. Among other things.

Which brings me around to my muses.

we've sort of been disagreeing, ... wel more of moving at cross purposes, of late. They keep tossing new things out and I keep trying to take care of things I've already set myself as goals, and there just doesn't seem to be enough me or time to make it all happen.

But the thing is That fighting with them about it just means that neither gets done. So I'm going to have to have a sit down tonight and check out my level of investment in certain projects and then see if we could spread the time and effort out a bit to make room for something that could make the muses happy and finally let some loose threads get tied up in such a way as to cause a bit less impediment to forward progress on some of my goals.

I'm not crazy, I don't have multiple personalities and yes I do have more then one muse, and yes I am aware that technically they are not called muses but that is how society at large is farmiliar with them.

The thing is for all the crazy chaos of the above, it's fun, exciting and a well rounded adventure between these two ears. If the rest of my world were as stable and posative I should think I'd get much more done and worry a lot less.

I'm not entirely sure when Next I shall appear, I'm due to meet a few of you all this weekend, then sometime in there I've got to update Goober again. and POTCW before monday. So likely sunday at the latest possibly tomorrow if I get a need to feed the net muchies.

Take care of yourselves.

Still a little off my rythme

I'm getting really bad about doing my comics and all but I'm getting back into the productive swing of things.

I've changed the style of post I do to the lady of the mechanism and I rather like the new way of doing it.

I've another day of doing Adult word puzzles and I will be glad to be turning over to the new style puzzles.

I'm making some headway in other projects too though I'm not sure what good they are in the long run, we shall see.

I guess that's all the time I get tonight. I may or may not be in tomorrow but I should get here before the weekend some time.

Til then take care of yourselves,

Things to do

things to do and places to go in the near future.

I got some images ready for Goober buttons and a calling card for the con. I'm going to make a post card design for the People of the Clear Waters comic, which thankfully did update last night and looks okay.

Then again I may do a bussiness card for that one too and reserve the post card for a list of the other things I do. I'm not sure yet. I know a supplier of them that can print the cards out and it will only cost me shipping (which considering over a thousand bussiness cards and maybe 500 post cards might be more then I think).

I also spent so time researching roman numerals for a change coming up in the styles of puzzles I'm making.

I did a little informational research on hardware store stuff for some projects today too.

I have to remember to get one of my side achemical projects going to be ready in time for the Con.

And I need to ask my mum about the book sale this summer. Specifically When it is, where it is this year and where I can drop off a donation.

Then I've got to call Eddie up and see if he'd be willing to get together with me this friday. He could help me with one project I have planned but can't do by myself, then he and I could decide on a movie to watch or something like that.

And that only leave a few hundred other things to take care of.

MINIONS!

take care of yourselves,

Roving Jack

better but not perfect

amazing how much better the room is when I put my bathroom stuff away and do a couple loads of laundry that had just been put in grocery bags for the move.

It should go together quite nicely. I've gotten myself back on track with the word puzzles and am set to begin a new style in a few days.

I'm not horrible off on my comics right now.

It feels like weeks but it's really only been about seven days and in that time I managed to make some decent progress on POTCW for posting. The second page should go up after midnight tonight if I schedualed it properly. So sunday night monday morning posts are what I'm aiming for now. I may throw in non story line poster art ideas for filler.

I'm looking to get some bussiness cards or something like that printed out for both my comics to hand out at the convention in the end of june and early august.

I'm also hoping to go down to the Members appreciation day this month. I want to try out the game I came up with, talk about my web comics and my artist alley table and get a feel for how I need to get myself together.

I'm also rather pleased to see that some really good comics will also be at the con this year (well every year, but a few that I'm very fond of are definately coming). I need to get going on some of my big goals for the year and to organise lots of things before the con.

So, I have to admit it's getting better...

Thrown out of synch

I've really got to get my mind back on track. It's not really helping to be so far off my game.

I think that over the next few days that I should be able to get my word puzzles on track, create the goober holiday images, plot out some goober bonus stories for printed versions of the comics. Then I can work on the finishing touches of People of the Clear Waters up through the end of august. Then Finish up the year in advance flesh it out and then from there on out it will just be doing one or two of those per week. and three or four of goober comics per week.

Once that is taken care of and I'm where I need to be with my word puzzles each day, I will get my jewelry underway.

In the meantime I need to start getting my room into shape. Get some laundry taken care of, and settle in to the new place. It feels like I've been doing this for a long time but thankfully it's just been, about a long week.

The plan is that I should be able to get it so that each morning I wake up a a better time then I am right now, Spend the first two hours cooking and getting ready while using the moments to do word puzzles and a comic or two. Then once I'm ready to go out I run any errands I have to, get some writing done and take care of the other things in my life.

Then I can do a bit of reading at night, work on other projects for a few hours ect.

It's all doable, I just gotta do it is all.

Hopefully I'll have gotten a good start by this time tomorrow.

witty vauge title here

I'm once again procrastinating doing the things I should get going on. It's just taking so very long to adapt and settle in to the new place enough to establish a new routine.

Though my muses are alive and well. I can looke around me and see and come up with intresting ideas fairly well. Unfortunately I've sort of hit a bit of a stall on what the next chapter of the goober comic will be that I draw up. I'm more then a year ahead so it's not exactly super urgent. I'm a little more worried about getting some things done on the People of the Clear Water comics. They are done up to 2/3 of a year in, but they still require typing in the words and doing the inset window before scanning them into a computer and essembling the art to the finished dimensions.

I've got just enough worked out easily enough to carry me to the end of the month.

Lately my mind has preferred to play more with the idea of the newest comic which is really just a means for my muses to express themselves.

I'm thinking that if I can get myself back on track over the next few days with my daily standard work, then I should be able to step things up a bit and make progress on a few of the things I've fallen behind on doing. Well not so much fallen behind on but really should try to set them in motion anyway.

I've got to try to do a little something here tonight before heading back to the appartment.
