Whew. Hot. Air conditioner is broken. No relief, not even at night.

Went to life drawing tonight – didn’t get the message that it had been cancelled. The naked person was a no-show due to poison ivy. Several of us showed up, and we went to the Copper Bar in downtown Marshall. Played a little pool. You can throw your peanut shells on the floor there. The air conditioner was half working. It seemed pretty stifling in there, until we walked out into the suffocating night. Or is it sultry?

Finally got around to renting Crumb. It was great. I know it was great because my wife was thoroughly disgusted by it. It did go into his perversions a little, but it was cool to see his work in progress. I picked up a few technique tips.


Wife’s taking off for St. Louis in a couple days. Maybe I’ll clean up this dump.

Maybe I’ll get Sean to do it. Equally improbable.

Sean’s been writing some stuff. I’m trying to get him to do a blog.

Checked out the Silverleaf Renaissance Faire again this year. The jousting reenactments and such are pretty cool, and you see some people dressed in some great period garb. Others seem to use the Faire as an excuse to dress in the most bizarre costumes they can concoct, regardless of their authenticity or relevance to the occasion. But at least they’re having fun.

I’m pushing myself to do another drawing. Oh, it’s painful. A form of torture. Might get a chance to do some blues jamming on Saturday. Beer ‘n blues, yeaahh.
