current mood: hot
After making one of my deliveries at work, I came back not feeling well. Even after I took my lunch break and rested in my office for a bit, I still spent the rest of my day woozy. I felt better once I got home but when I started to feel that way again at about 4 in the morning I decided to skip work today. I figured the heat was finally getting to me and I certainly did not want to make another delivery today which I would have had to do. Do you think workman's comp covers heat stroke?
Well, okay - not funny - but at least I got to spend a quiet day at home actually working on important stuff. Got one more page out of the way which leaves me with ONE MORE PAGE!!!!1!10 I'm hoping to have that done or mostly done tonight. Everything has got to go to the printers on Monday.
I've also been putting together my
shopping to do list for SDCC. I will be doing my
color sketches along with selling books as usual. I haven't decided if I'm going to take a costume this year. I haven't worn my costumes in a couple of years and I'm really feeling like bringing the blue "Belle" dress again (now with matching sparkley cat ears!). Depends on how I feel and how much stuff I end up packing. Bad enough airlines are charging per bag - I don't need to add an overweight charge on top of that as well - wouldn't AA just love that though).
Trying not to go crazy with my MUST TO HAVE list - the new Tokidoki dolls will be available outside of SDCC so I figure I can skip picking them up at the con and wait until I get home (That baggage thing again). The French comics and the Japanese
hentai art books can also wait if nothing really catches my fancy (I'm keeping my list specific to
Blacksad and Urushihara books although I may have to get into a fistfight with
martes if we find the
Blacksad books at the same time ;) ) But if I come out of SDCC with
only one thing, it will have to be this:
Clobber Monkey I have been wanting this since I saw the prototype at SDCC last year. I will be
pissed utterly dissapointed if this thing sells out before I get my grubby mitts on it.
Don't ask what the appeal is. I can't explain it to Jose either. I SO WANT IT though.
Edit: I just saw the SDCC website - 4 day / Friday / Sat passes are
sold out with Thurdsay and Sunday already in the "yellow warning" zone. With SDCC two weeks away, what are the chances of the show being
completely sold out by then? What do you think will be the consequences of
that? It's not like the show can rent out any more convention space. Last year there were rumors of moving the show to another city (which I don't see happening) or
adding days to it (which is crazy but possible). Wow.
