Journal: A Monday Miscellany

I have a bad habit of starting books in the middle. Usually only nonfiction books, obviously--I do have to have some idea of what came before--though I have been known to do this with fiction, too (usually things I've already read, though.) Right now I'm on page 285 of The Last Lion: Alone, the second volume of a biography of Churchill. Since I haven't been reading it for long, this would be great--except that I started somewhere around page 230. XD
Unsurprisingly, I tend to have lots of books around that I've read only parts of. I am always getting more, too. We have a great bookstore in our little town where I can often find the esoteric objects of my fancy for cheap.

We have 19 inches of snow outside. It was snowing all day yesterday--my dad got stuck in an unplowed section of our driveway and I had to pull him out.

Now, I did say I'd talk about the answers to some of those silly questions I put up the other night. I'm not entirely sure what was going through my head at the time, but I might as well just deal with it.
--I haven't actually come up with a name for my new comic yet. In fact, I haven't even talked much about it here, though I did talk about the characters on Define Cynical. I'll get to delving into the subject more thoroughly here later. Suffice to say all three characters are pictured in the sketch dump I posted last week. I don't want to talk about the characters too much anyway, for fear of spoilers. (Don't you just wish you could read my sketchbooks? One of you is actually mentioned someplace in all the character description and plot snippets. Heh, heh, heh.)
--It's obvious considering both my right-wing leanings and my name that I would like David Cameron, the current leader of the British Conservatives. Plus, I always favor the fresh face over the longtime political operator, especially when he bungles things (read: that poor Gordon Brown.)
--Tristan-Chan [link] adopted me as her big brother for her "dA family."
--I called on Friday and, as it turns out, no jury duty for me. So I was just kept on my toes all month for no reason. (I'm actually sort of disappointed. It would've been interesting.)
--Heh, I was voted Best Newcomer and Best Artist in the Annual Define Cynical Awards. (Javsthemute was the pollster.) Didn't win Most Charismatic, though. Wonder why.
--The last question was a lame attempt at humor. Staying up late makes me act strangely sometimes. Maybe I was hopped up on chocolate.

Just a reminder: still taking commissions! Still have unsold books!

Any Floridians reading this? Just a voting reminder for you: vote for Guiliani or McCain and I will kick your butt. Vote for Ron Paul, and you get a yummy cookie. If, on the other hand, you were planning on voting Democratic, then I'll just pity your exercise in futility (but don't vote for Clinton anyway.)

Anything else? Oh, yeah, almost forgot--I've started using my blog again. It's my website link below now. I'm duplicating these journals there, in addition to lots of random thoughts on life, the universe, and something.

Have a most excellent Monday.*
