Being back home always leads to coloring time with the niece. Yesterday, we sat down and created two masterpieces. This first one is a surrealist-inspired crayola-on-printer-paper by my niece, entitled "Cats and Dogs."



Next up is my latest genius-stroke, a sweeping futuristic war vision, inspired by the great Revolutionary War painters Alozno Chappel, James Peale, and Augustus G. Heaton. Its title is "Epic Battle in Federation Space."

Headed back to Sacramento next weekend to stay for a spell, to help out with the family while my brother in law is laid up. On the good side, it's forced me to quit the job just a bit earlier than I had expected to. On the bad side, I'll miss rising above early and working on comics with Jeff and I'll miss staying up late and going to bed with Michele, a routine I've become way fond of over the last 6 months or so. But life tosses this shit at you sometimes, you just have to roll with it and make the best blah blah. And it'll be nice to be able to torture the niece again every day like the old days, so there's good in everything. Coming back to Los Angeles a year or two ago didn't always feel like the right choice at the time, but it's turned out much much better than I had thought it ever could have back then. Funny how shit works.

Anyways, the point is, if any of the Sacramento friends are reading this, I'll be back in a little while, for a little while, so let's do Sacramento stuff!

And anyone who hasn't been watching the Finals has been missing out!!

The NBA goes all Borg on your ass...

...my heart, it tows the line."

It's been a shitty couple of weeks for the family. In short, my brother in law, Torrey, is way sick. If any of you out there pray to Jebus or Bootah or the Force or Tom Cruise or whomever and pray on a regular basis, do me a solid and throw in a good word for my niece's Dad. I'm not a religious guy, but I do believe that good thoughts and good minds can help when needed. So even if you just toss out a mental shout-out of well-wishes to him, it'd be much appreciated by myself. His name is Torrey, and he's damn fine people. Not gonna go into details here, but my sister has set up a bloggity to keep people updated on his condition.

Many thanks.

....that if my best friend and I were basset hounds, this would be us. (He would be the one that wanders in at around the :33 mark and walks away.)



Yes, I just wasted your time with that.

Ever get that feeling that something is too good to be true? You meet a girl (or boy or dog or whatever), she's amazing, but there's that unsettling feeling that it's gonna come crashing down at any moment. Or your team gets into the playoffs, and they're doing really good, but you just know something's gonna fuck it up. Or someone brings german chocolate cake over, but it turns out there's fucking nuts in it and therefore, it is decidedly un-edible. After Barak's win in Iowa tonight, I'm really getting that sinking feeling that something shitty is gonna happen. Like I'm living in the parallel universe where all our leaders are cocksuckers and the good ones go too soon. What would have happened if Kennedy, King, the other Kennedy and/or even (and especially) Lennon survived? Is there an Earth out there that's the shiz because a bunch of whack jobs decided to leave their guns at home? Could any of us know how cool things may have been if Nixon wasn't elected? Seeing B-Rock (that's my new nickname for him) deliver this amazing victory speech tonight (and this is just the first lousy caucus), conjuring up MLK and Bobby and Jack all in one package, I'm just hoping they're tripling up on Secret Service is all I'm saying. We need the man in one piece for the next nine years. NEED him. Someone make me a B-Rock shirt.

Randomly changing gears before I have to go to bed and wake up to pizza rolls and comic books... yes, I'm eating pizza rolls tomorrow morning, I'm all out of english muffins.

Just cuz I know she's MySpace-deficiant these days, and it's been awhile since I've posted art on here (Alien Echo shit coming soon, promise) here's a housewarming present I'm working on for my homey. It's her dog as a zombie.



Find of the day:
Holy moly. The Beatles in the studio recording Hey Bulldog, my second-favrit Beatle song! Yay for YouTube. Check it out, though, John's totally got helmet hair--



And if that ain't to your liking, just stop what you're doing and soak in this little slice of nutless german chocolate soul:



Thanks, Jeffbuckley, now I can go to sleep.

Okay, here we go. Time to put an end to this crazy Vulcan woman and her highly illogical assertion that Vulcans are cooler than Klingons. I would have written this ealier, but my Vulcan cable modem is on the fritz.

1. Klingons got rid of one of the lamer characters in Trek history. Mama's Boy David Kirk was probably the lamest son in the history of everything, his lameness compounded by the fact that he has Kirk genes, and yet is STILL a weeny. Didn't even put up a decent fight against a Klingon flunky. David Kirk (wait, I know his last name was taken from Kirk's baby's Mama, but I ferget what her last name was) was like the Julian Lennon of the Kirk Universe. Thanks for keeping us from further David lameness, D'oc Br'wn!

2. Vulcans may have built-in sunglasses, but Klingons have secondary EVERYTHING: two spines, two livers, two hearts. Two hearts! Twice the heart, twice the cool!

3. A Klingon faced with a dog that pees on his carpet is a Klingon who now has fresh food for his Targ and a rug that no longer gets peed on. Problem solved!!

4. Video Evidence, Exhibit A:

Maybe the coolest pickup line EVER:



5. Video Evidence, Exhibit B:

Klingons can make even Opera cool.



6. Video Evidence, Exhibit C:

And finally... you will never ever EVER EVERRRR see a Klingon do this:



Spock is singing a ballad about Bilbo Baggins. Nothing can possibly trump the absolute lameness he brought to his fellow Vulcans when he did this.


K'Plah!*


*translated from Klingon, for "success!"

Case closed.





















Okay, but while I'm at it, this is still the coolest scene in film history. So Vulcans get a kudo for that.

Klingons vs. Vulcans: The Youtubes Debate


Or: The nerdiest thing I've ever been forced to write.


Here are ten definitive and conclusive (pwning) reasons why Klingons rule so much more than Vulcans.


1. Klingon Cleavage:



2. When a Vulcan wants to get in a person's head, they use a wimpy mind meld. If a Klingon wants to get into a person's head, they use a knife. (Or Bat'leth, whichever one is available.)


3. When Klingons mate, the result is usually an abundance of scars, bruises, sometimes even broken bones. Battlescars of luurv-making. That's hot. When Vulcans hump, on the other hand, a psychic bond is created between the two mates that can last for several days. Let's think about that. A psychic bond. In other words, if I get some lovin from a Vulcan, they'll end up knowing that I really wanted to slip out to Burger King instead of cuddling afterwards. Or worse, that sometimes I (involuntarily) think of Bill Cosby mid-coitus. See? That was gross, right? Now imagine feeling that way that every time you get freaky with someone. Uncool, man, uncool.


4. Klingon's beverage of choice is Blood Wine. Awesome, right? Vulcans, on the other hand, prefer Vulcan Brandy. How quaint. And by "quaint," of course, I mean "laaame."


5. Famous Klingons include:


Dee-bo (Random Klingon in Star Trek: Enterprise)



Doc Brown (Krieg in Trek 3)



And, um. John Tesh. (Think he was a Klingon in a cameo for Next Gen. Not helping my case, I know.)



6. Vulcans all have the same haircut. Which is also the same haircut I had when I was ten. Pretty lame, Milhouse.


7.Klingons live by the motto "Today is a good day to die!" Vulcans live by the motto "Live Long and Prosper." So, to sum up: Klingons are like James Dean and Vulcans are like The Golden Girls. Or something. Moving on.


8. Admittedly, Klingons have relaxed brains. But yet they rule like half the galaxy or something. The Vulcans have been around for like thousands of years before either humans or Klingons, are way smart with their fancy logic and yet, they rule over... um, their own planet? I think? Maybe time to play catchup?


9. They destroyed the Tribble home world. Dirty Tribbles.


10: Worf!

...you just crush yourself and walk away.


Planet go boom.

So, as you know, I am a nerd. I like sciency-type shit. So I kinda marked out the other day when I read that NASA had created a way hi-def map of Antarctica, for the first time in ever. And then I saw the thing. And, just as you'd expect, it's just a whole bunch of white. Pretty lame, Milhouse.

Which got me thinking once again to a point a friend and I were jabbing about a week or so ago. As much as I love love love space, why are we spending so much damned tax money going up there and doing fairly useless stuff when there's so much work to be done here? Do we really need a map of Antarctica, for that matter? How much do you think that cost? I'm all for exploration and stuff, but now that the private sector (read: a bunch of nerdy rich people) seems to have been taken by the space bug, can we just shut NASA down and call it a day? They can't seem to get a shuttle into space these days without having the foam (foam? really?) they built it with fall apart, and why anyone still trusts them for a safe ride to the corner store let alone the Moon is beyond me.

I was in jolly-old England when the whole Challenger disastrophe went down, and, as space-fever didn't really hit in the UK when it did in the US, I wasn't as shaken by that day as a lot of my current friends were. I didn't see it live, as live TV didn't exist in England at the time (I'm lying, but I think it was past my bedtime over in Greenwich Mean Time), I heard about it the next day. But I would imagine that the kids my age, in the next 20 years or so are going to be the ones in real power, and they'll probably be all too happy to put an end to public funding of the organization that motherfucked their childhoods on that day in 1986.

And if they don't, I may just. If I run for President in 2020, (after I've already conquered the world, mind you, being elected would just be a formality, or kind of a vanity project), I think I'll run on the anti-NASA platform. That is, unless, they start designing their crappy shuttles based on Star Trek ships. Then I'd run on the pro-NASA platform. I'm easy to please.



This is what happens when I blog at 4 in the morning.

But here's a sketch.

-NBA season just started this past week, so I should be praising Jebus, but I'm actually madly conflicted about it. On one hand, having the TNT postgame show to come home to every Tuesday and Thursday will make me a happy boy, but on the other hand, my beloved Kings are looking to have an absolutely atrocious season, given our current lineup. Just awful. I seriously think I should move to Boston for like a week so I can claim to be a Celtics fan. If anyone wants to get me a Boston Kevin Garnett jersey for Christmas, I won't turn it down.

-I have been one busy mothereffer. And it looks to get busier. Which is fine, I have a few weekends coming up in the next two or three months or so visiting family or friends out of town, so I'll have time to recharge. But still, this past week has been the first time I've had a somewhat consistant pain in my right hand from all the drawing and shit I've put it through lately. Nothing I can't deal with or take care of, but still, I need one of those wrist brace things to prevent dirty carpel tunnel from cropping up. Another item on the xmas list, I suppose. Or I'll just go to dirty Sears and get one.

-I'm not sure what qualifies something as "dirty" in my eyes. I just called both Sears and carpel tunnel syndrome "dirty," and there doesn't seem to be a connecting theme. Buell's rules, I suppose.

-Page 16 from An Alien Echo, without letters.


-Page 17 from the same.


Believe it or not, that is a two-page conversation about clogging the toilet. NOT!

And pages 20-21.


And, of course, here's announcing the requisite Alien Echo Myspizzle Page. It's a lonely lonely page right now, still working on it in my spare spare time, so forgive the mess. Feel free to add it to further clutter your friend list.

Why can't I choose this video as my mood in that thing below?


Whoa, oooohwhoawhoa whoa!
