Beyond getting the call about my dad, today was pretty uneventful, as per usual. I got up, went for a walk, came home, had my protein shake, and then sat down to do some drawing.
The one advantage, I guess, to UPS screwing up on the delivery of my external hard drive was that when it finally arrived today, it did so along with the shoes I’d ordered online the other day.
Both the new hard drive and the shoes are very cool, though I thought for sure that I ordered a hard drive that was both Firewire and USB 2.0, but this one is lacking Firewire. It doesn’t really matter, though, as USB 2.0 is faster anyway (I don’t currently have the latest generation of Firewire, for those of you who like to pick nits and would point out that it’s faster than USB 2.0).
I really like the shoes. They make me feel just like Dwight in “Sin City” …even though his shoes are red...and he has exciting adventures and hangs out with gun-toting hookers wearing skimpy outfits. And, both before and after his plastic surgery, he’s much better-looking than I am.
(Also, I kind of doubt that Dwight has ever been “gellin’,” though I most assuredly am. Hey, for a crazy walking fool like me, massaging gel insoles are a must-have shoe accessory.)
Anyway, we both have Converse All Star shoes now, so we have that much in common at least.
Well, that and being at least a little crazy.
Actually, though, if we consider Dwight as I first encountered him at the beginning of his first “Sin City” adventure, “A Dame to Kill For,” he and I have a bit more in common.
We both lead quiet, solitary lives. We both have trouble with women. We both have given up drinking, after an extended blubbery binge, and smoking, and we both try very hard to rein in our darker impulses.
...and we have the same kind of shoes.
All things considered, though, I think I’d prefer the “hanging out with gun-toting hookers in skimpy outfits” lifestyle…
I actually drew three pictures last night, though two of them were simply variations on the same image. I was trying to do something at least a little bit outside my usual style. I don’t know that I can really judge the extent to which I was successful in that regard, but hey, at least I tried. Overall, they’re decent images, and I think I’m going to put them up for sale as products over at Zazzle.
I’ll post them here as well, but not right now, as now I’m going to watch the episode of “Smallville” that I just recorded on the DVR.
