Inks from page 7 of CARRIER, which is coming along, slowly but surely. Can you see why I am sick of drawing pigeons?
It’s ridiculous with the heat wave here. Over 100 every day this week. THIS IS BULLSHIT. Also, my shoulder hurts, and I am pretty sure the humidity is making it worse. BULLSHIT! Also also? My air conditioner sucks. I have to be sitting on top of it to feel cooler. I moved my drawing table into my office. BULLSHIT! THUMBS DOWN!
I am dog sitting for Tony and Kara, who are at WW Chicago. My house is full of dogs. I am planning to invite Ellis over for tea, just to be mean.
Conversations I Only Have in KCMO, #23:
At the Post Office. I have been waiting in line for 20 min. There is ONE clerk working. I get to the desk, give her my packages, and toss my Netflix disks in as well. There are still about 10 people in line behind me.
CLERK: Did you watch anything good?
ME: Well, I like to watch TV shows on DVD, so that’s what those are. (I am trying to avoid telling her that I was watching WEEDS, so she won’t have my packages searched.)
CLERK: You can get TV shows on DVD?
ME: Yeah - pretty much anything on TV eventually comes out on DVD. (How does she not know this? Does she ever LEAVE the Post Office?)
CLERK: Like, THE NANNY?
ME: …
CLERK: With Fran Drescher?
ME: … Uh, yeah, I guess.
CLERK: I really love THE NANNY. Everyone says I look like her. (She is a short, fat, Latino woman with frizzy dirty blonde hair. She does not, in fact, look anything like Fran Drescher.)
ME: Oh yeah, I can totally see that.
CLERK: It’s such a good show. Do you watch it?
ME: …Yeah, uh… in reruns. When I can catch it.
CLERK: You should get it on DVD!
ME: I totally will.
I escape, getting dirty looks from the 20 people still in line, who have had to listen to me chat with Crazy Postal Lady about THE NANNY.

God, that’s funny. But keep in mind…that conversation could definitely happen in NY.
I can’t believe you lied to her about watching The Nanny though. That might be the funniest part.

I fucking HATE the Nanny. For, honestly, as long as I can remember.

I had to re-learn how to mouse when my shoulder started dying a few months back. I always used to hold my shoulder and elbow rigid, and move the mouse with my forearm and wrist. Now, I try to move my whole arm. It keeps things a little looser.
Also: FEATHERS!

I guess I won’t show you my talking Nanny doll the next time you come over. :(

Hilarious. I heard something the other day that Fran Drescher is running for office. I don’t know what her politics are, but the clip I heard of her made it sound like she’s as ditzy as you’d assume.
Great Carrier drawing. Girl chained to a bed while pigeons fly around? It’s a great tease.

Ya know what’s funny? When I lived in Tampa, where–due to central and northern Florida being almost completelydeviod of the Chosen people–Jewish women are actually considered exotic, more than one shaggy whiskered hipster boy told me had a secret, undying crush on Fran Drescher. That would explain why I got so much play in college, I guess.
