+BEEFY+PHO+TOE?




I'm starting to think there's a bit of a pattern in the making my frequency (or lack thereof) concerning my blogs--but I can say that there's plausible reason behind it! I've been working pretty hard (not as hard as I should, yet...) on my comic book, Part Time Shuffle, writing the sample chapter, drawing, inking, and just making sure the book is made in a printable form sometime before the year is out! At one point, I realized that my sample book was becoming way too long to be called a sample and seemed like an unnecessary investment so I'm deciding to technically do 2 sample books. The current one that I'm working on now will be printing physically and people can actually sample at my table during conventions, the other will debut on my website in its respectful section.

As scary as this might be--its definitely a fun experience working on my work and I welcome all of the pain, frustration and lessons that come with journey of printing/publishing. I think if anything--the only woes I have right now are that my computer has been acting a bit weird but I fear not (O_O) because I'm actually going to have a friend look at it for me and diagnose whatever flu-shot my computer needs to continue being the subservient, nice e-slave--I mean, assistant its been to be for so long. When I'm not busy drawing pages, or trying to land other freelance for support, or playing RE5 trying to get an s-grade in single player Mercenaries--I find myself enjoying some of FEW GOOD Asian fusion restaurants in the are. Of the 3 that I go to from time to time, there's one place in particular that I tend to go to alot called, Ichi Ban. Well, they revamped the restaurant recently so its actually "Asian Bistro"...rather to the point, I guess. Anyway, the food there is really tasty and its a very nice, tranquil environment to eat and I never feel as if I've stuffed myself afterwards--its always this nice, "refreshed" feeling. So much so, that friends say I'm painfully addicted to this place.

I usually go at the end of the week--to get away from well...everything. I usually end up getting:

-California Roll (maki cut)
-Shumai
-Miso Soup
-An occassional Egg Roll

Sometimes I get saucy and I get the Fried Tempura Rolls (and they're insanely good!) but just such a small meal does wonders for me. It doesn't sound like much but that plate in front of me eases my mind for some reason. Then again, a few matches of CVS2 with some friends does the same. Arguably, I make others unsettled when we play but for me...it was Tuesday. Speaking of days, today I did receive some good news concerning some freelance project that was thought to be defunct has been brought back to life and it should be resuming rather soon so I'm excited about that as well. Which leaves the weekend to celebrate...mildly--I still have pages to do.

Despite all this, I still made time to update my blog like all of us aspiring visual entertainers should do in this e-age...where attention whoring digitally is a way of life.

Meet me on Twitter in 20....(I'm so kidding!).

Take care!
