Why do I suck so much?
It’s a rhetorical question, of course, but one I’m sure both exsulis and Jezmon (hey, by the way, nice to see you here…now where are the other two?) would have answers for in spades.
The prescribed “method” for the way things are supposed to work around here are, I post on Monday, I post on Wednesday, I post on Friday and “tada!” we put up a comic. Erratic is certainly a word one could use to describe how we’ve been doing things. Much in the same way big is a word one could use to describe the universe.
But do not despair, with help from the ever gracious exsulis, we are slowly but surely stumbling toward a real website, instead of our url slapped on top of a wordpress template (thank you, wordpress, for your free template!).
And in my defense, I did have a post written, or at least started, that was going to go up on Tuesdayish, but I didn’t really finish writing it. Plus it was on the “serious” side, which is a side I find quite perplexing and disorienting. Also, the article it referenced is something like 5 days old at this point, which in internets years is like 20,000. That shit may have already become fossilized!
So’s anyways, work continues, as it tends to do. And I thank all of you (or, maybe I should say, all 5 of you) for your patience.
One last piece of miscellaneous information. I’ve really been into the new Spoon album of late, and while checking out their site I came across an old news post that said they were playing a show on July 12 at “Cafu Nord” in San Francisco. I assume they meant Cafe Du Nord

which is a pretty small club, literally, a ten minute walk from my old apartment in San Francisco. Don’t believe me? Well see for yourself…

Sometimes, and by that I mean, often. I fucking hate living in the god-damned suburbs! Sure, we own a house, which is certainly better for the kid, but fuck I miss being able to drink heavily in the full confidence that I can, probably, stumble the quarter-mile necessary to reach my bed. Hell, I miss being able to drink heavily, period!

Suck lots!!! I think you somehow sent my your dreaded plague over the inter-web.
NO drinking does indeed slow some days down but such is the life of having a child.
Hmm, old Frisco we need to make a food run one of these years.

On more than one occasion over the last year the wife and I have seriously considered how well the kid might sleep during an overnight drive to the City. We could then eat 3+ meals over the course of the day, and drive back once it’s the kid’s bedtime again…as of yet, we have not tried out this plan…

Well if it’s any consolation, mini-me made a trip up north this summer to the Bay area/Lake Tahoe-ish and slept just well for the majority of the trip. Of course, he was only 5 months old at the time and didn’t have much say in the matter.

Yeah, unfortunately the daughter’s in the “big girl” seat now and doesn’t sleep a whole lot in the car anymore.
