Sparklehorse: Don't Take My Sunshine Away |

If I was a chair, I would be a rocker,
If I was a Furry, I'd be Chewbacca!
Big wind/rain/hail today. Guess I'm not transplanting plum trees.
New Sinister Bedfellows went up last night!

| OK, that's most of the really cool stuff from this week finished with. |

Want to hear witty banter about webcomics on the radio? ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ursulav, m_monique, and myself were on The State of Things. Best review so far? "does anyone else think that Larry has a very sexy voice?"
Yes, yes, they do.
Wonder what I would look like if I did a major Hollywood movie with a mix of DC and Marvel heroes and some webcomic artists? Here's a shot from Free Comic Book Day. I'm standing between Batman and the Joker.

I'm not happy with this week's comic, but I'm too tired to change it. It seemed a lot more interesting when I was snapped the photo. But, if you are interested, Sinister Bedfellows #200 is up.
It would have been up last night, but for some reason, ComicGenesis decided to capitalize everyone's username and it took me a couple of hours and a dive into their forums to discover this. It kept telling me that I didn't exist.
Also, be sure to read the subheading "below the fold" in the comic for important news.

Managed to snag about 4 hours for Free Comic Book Day. Highlight will be seen on Sinister Bedfellows when I finish it tonight. (double-sized episode 200!)
Working on plumbing at new house. After cutting a few holes in wall and ceiling, we have located the leak (again, photo later tonight).
Lots of late night driving, home reconstruction, and cooking... and on Friday,

Sorry, between two dead vehicles (off to crawl under jeep in a few minutes), moving the work office, and working on the new house, I've been fried lately.
Totally forgot to mention that Sinister Bedfellows #199 went up this weekend.
Thinking about something special for #200.
Off to Tennessee to work overnight, talk to you tomorrow.

I called Hemphill Library, Greensboro's new arts centered space, with gallery and studios and such, to reserve a meeting room for the next North Carolina WebComic Coffee Clatch.
When they realized what the group was about, they moved a reading group to make room for us and asked if we would be interested in helping with their teen art programs. Seriously, I heard two librarians squee in the background.
We are also appearing at Free Comic Book Day at Hero's Haven comic shop in Burlington next weekend and I need to get back in touch with the Burlington Library about donating some of our books for a local cartoonists display.
And May 12 at 12:40 pm, we are live on the radio (WUNC), rebroadcast at 9:40 pm and via podcast.

1. I really really love the sound of Baby Gramps' voice. Wish I could find more than two songs by him. Help?
2. Not content with running weeks behind in everything I'm doing and being consistently a month behind on my budget, I have embarked on another surreal secret project which seems to be creeping a few people out.
3. Aching Back says "time for a new mattress."
4. House related photos and news are moving to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) thimble_cottage. Feel free to join Jess and myself there, as we asphyxiate on paint fumes and electrocute ourselves in the Name of Beauty!
5. I hate even-numbered lists.

1. There is a new Sinister Bedfellows.
2. I'm going to be live on the radio! On May 8th, at about 12:40pm, ursulav, m_monique, and myself will be interviewed about the North Carolina WebComic Coffee Clatch on The State of Things, on our local NPR station. It will be rebroadcast that night, then released as a podcast on the site. We are also negotiating to have excerpts animated for the site.
3. New house issues. The upstairs bathroom sink leaks into the dining room ceiling. I have removed half the acoustic tile and sheetrock, to expose a mild case of black mold. Fortunately, the actual ceiling boards (7 inch tongue and groove!) seem fine, so I just need to cut a hole to access the leaking pipe joint, repair it, then put up new sheetrock. We were going to need to replumb for the new shower anyway, so this gives us an excuse to get rid of the acoustic tile.
4. My sister borrowed our van to drive to Biltmore yesterday and overheated climbing Black Mountain. We think she blew a hose or gasket ($), it doesn't seem to be a cracked block or head ($$$). Dad is towing it home today to check it out while I worry about the plumbing.
5. Got projects going on for Free Comic Book Day, too.

First, let me say that I too am missing the original content which normally appears here. But, well, work... lots of work.
And the new house... lots of work there too. I haven't even read any webcomics in about a week.
And the doctor. I have a cyst in my big toe caused by wearing Chuck Taylors with no arch support. I have a low red blood count. I seem to have had a low grade persistent sinus infection... for a couple of years!!! due to my deviated septum. Fortunately, all minor and treatable problems.
And the cats. Simone is insane, knocking things around in the middle of the night. Sasha is highly allergic to fleas, to the point of losing a lot of fur.
And the wife. No, she's almost perfect.
Maybe, possibly, this weekend, I can tell you a story :)

Anyone out there familiar with the music of Sa Dingding (other than what the BBC has covered recently)?
I think she is going to be my soundtrack for BearCats of Mandhu.

Took a load of remodeling remainders to the dump, gave the small angry cat antibiotics six times, moved a load of furniture to the new house, mowed the new lawn, planned out the electrical upgrades (a five bedroom house needs more than six 30 amp fuses), attended the NCWCCC meeting in Raleigh (two new members, we are starting to outgrow our coffeehouse locations), steam cleaned the living room carpet, visited the daughter of the previous owner of the house and raided her photo collection (there are a few we are going to enlarge to hang in the living room {I'll show you once I get them scanned}), attended a gallery opening in a comic shop for several of my friends, oh, yeah, and...
totally forgot to update Sinister Bedfellows. There will be a new comic tonight.

As I cross over the mountains, through Virginia and into Tennessee, I lose the signal from Neurotic Intellectual Radio and tune in to Screaming Idiot Radio.
It's very educational.
Did you know that most of the fear-mongers in the country get kickbacks from gold dealers?
At least I can get really good old-fashioned local bluegrass music.

If current trends hold true, the internet access will be handcranked.

From: Dr. Noor
Hello,
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft of $800,000.00 United States Dollars which I promised you, but I did not hear from you since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, because of my wife that said I should not compensate you. I have travelled out of the country for a Months Course and I will not come back till end of April.
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE as soon possible to know when They will deliver your package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($350.00USD)Dollars only, being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.
Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $350.00US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow;
Contact Person: Mr Martins Cole
Email Address: fedexpost_147@yahoo.com.hk
Telephone:+2348063198535
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get to your address.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their Security Keeping fee of $350.00 US Dollars for their immediate action. You should also let me know through email as soon as you receive your bank Draft.
Yours Faithfully,
Brain Hurt
