Reinventing Rob - April 2006 In Review
Man, April was a LONG month, wasn't it? What causes that? There were only thirty days there, but that sumbitch seemed to go on FOREVER.
A lot of changes in my outlook on things over the course of April, too. For instance: Not dating's A-Okay. I hate dating, anyway. I'm a relationship guy. It's like the difference between Navajo sand paintings and Jackson Pollack (is that the second Pollack reference in as many months?). It just reinforced that, hey, I like my life right now. It's a'ight.
Dayjob's been killing me softly. Running two departments while still doing the work of two people and training new hires, and starting up one of those new departments, all at the same time? It makes Rob's hair fall out, is what it does. Worth it, though. Just for those heartwarming moments where one of my people calls me, and I quote, an "Inhumane despot." Suh-weet.
The new music season's really amazing so far, isn't it? I picked up the new Streets and Yeah Yeah Yeah's albums, and they're fantabulous. Between them, the new Beth Orton, Flaming Lips, Josh Rouse, and Little Willies, I'm really enjoying what I'm hearing. DJ Danger Mouse has a new one out in May that I've heard a track from and it sounds god damn astounding. Can't. Wait. For that.
Got back on track working out, doing two sessions a day now. Resistance training in the morning, and treadmill at night. I feel great, and continue to look better and better. I know, how is it possible for me to look any better, right? Blows me away, too.
Comix are exciting again, too. Scotty Skyrocket starting up, and more Band on the Sun on the horizon as well. I don't know what's going on with Black Chamber, honestly. What a strange experience, but ultimately the knowledge gleaned from working on it has been invaluable.
Finished strong on the art front. Did four(!) paintings yesterday. Two of them I still need to scan in and post here. One of them is the latest installment of Reckon. We're a few pages from the end of installment one on that, which will just ask more questions than it answers, unfortunately. I'm gearing up for the genre and style change in the next installment, which I'm excited about. Should be fun.
Oh, and my cat's still cute:
