Theo and I have a special friendship. It's one that has transcended difficulty after difficulty over the past, what, like, five years? And probably because he is consistently hounding me to illustrate a comic for him. I think it's a kind of obsession.

At first, it was a simple biography comic - a sort of 3PS[link] deal, involving the lives of ourselves and our group of friends. A good few entertaining things came out of that, but it never really got off the ground, and as usual, things change...

Around two years ago-ish, Theo invited me to lunch in a local Irish-themed pub. I got a delicious sandwich, and once I couldn't escape, he threw his new idea at me. It seemed pretty good, and my god was that sub tasty, so I took it.

His first mailing of script to me floored me, though, and made me realize what a daunting task I'd taken on. I now had to consider perspective and architecture, real and imaginary, as the setting is Missoula itself. I had to create consistent characters with recognizable features, stances, and styles.

So, I avoided doing it for two whole years and worked sporadically on character design and perspective, until Theo finally shoved my nose into Questionable Content and said, "See? SEE? HE GOT BETTER BECAUSE HE DREW IT A LOT."

I'm sweating myself to death over the first page of a chase scene in a parking garage, which I will complain about TO NO END THEO, but it's getting there. And the rest of it will.

Just so you all have something to look forward to.

I love my Matt. He is so awesome.

Nerm nerm nerm sleepy.

Oh my gosh. He's perfect. MATT YOU'RE PERFECT.

For fuck's sake.

I can't believe anybody could be so utterly incapable of holding a decent argument, much less solving one or handling it properly.

Circling your same point around over and over until your opponent is in tears and can no longer psychologically defend themselves against your repetitive drilling is NOT THE CORRECT WAY OF GOING ABOUT THINGS. Listen to their defense. Listen, and try to confirm. If you have one eyewitness stating false, and two stating true, MAYBE NUMBERS COUNT.

I've come to the point that I actually feel physically ill whenever I witness this. I hate it, and when it's happening, I hate them.

I can't argue, I can't defend, I can't stand in the face of that. You won't allow me to, and you won't allow her to.

Stolen from Eek, because I have to find something to distract me from homework. Also, can't type out a real journal because I sprained my wrist. More on that when I'm better.

The Lion King was incredible - easily the most spectacular show I've ever seen onstage. The costumes, props, set... everything... was so elaborate, stylized, and just all around amazing. The actors did well, and while our only real criticism was that we'd prefer to hear Rafiki speak more English, I will never forget how Mufasa spoke:

"That hairball... is MAH SON."

Spokane is filled with grumpy people, but the ones who are nice are really REALLY friendly. The streets are pitch-black and absolutely crazy at night - in one memorable incident, Matt was forced to drive over a traffic island that mysteriously appeared in the middle of the road, despite there being no evidence of one beforehand.

Oh, and it's also all controlled by wizards, did you know that? Spokane. It's run by wizards. That's the only way we could've managed to make everything work out as perfectly as it somehow did. Thank you, Spokanizards!

One last thing.
