TIL: barefoot / minimalist running shoes are fantastic on ice. Increased ability to grip naturally?
“let’s fly”
Can’t wait for this to start, don't want it to end. Alas, all good things…
Mr Bean in HITMAN 3
Think I enjoy this one even more than the classic Ron Swanson in HALF-LIFE 2:
i brought home a chair
Did some volunteer heavy-lifting work emptying a church for an org/store that donates all their profits to hospice and couldn’t pass up the chance to bring this chair home (made a donation to hospice in lieu of cash). The Paintshop is well and truly sardine-packed now, but I can put my claustrophobia aside: such is my ardor for this chair. Her name is Orangina and we are in love.
more TRUE DETECTIVE + Issa Lopez = win
I don’t know if I’m more excited because I can’t wait to see where Lopez takes the series next or because of its middle finger-ness to Pizzolato’s petty bitching. Probably a bit of both: ‘True Detective’ Renewed For Season 5 At HBO As Showrunner Issa López Strikes Overall Deal (via Deadline).
Spent part of yesterday drawing a four-panel comic strip and having the time of my life, side of left palmmeats smeared in graphite, eight-year old inside thrilled to no end with his aging, decrepit 42-year old vessel. About fucking time, he said, more than once, About fucking time. Trying to get into the practice of drawing from a basic notion/idea, sans script: the thing took on a new (and far more interesting) life from what I had intended in writing; might as well roll with it. If nothing else, I finally found a use for all those old backer boards. Next up: figure out a workflow for inking, shrinking, and pubbing; eventually: a regular schedule.
