Checking In
Things have been super busy of late!
Over the holiday weekend Katy and I went out to Western Kansas for the annual Schamberger Open golf tournament. It was her first full exposure to the family, and she managed to survive! It's always great spending time with Grandma, the aunts and uncles, and the bazillion cousins. We got back in town Monday afternoon and did pretty much nothing the rest of the day to get our strength back.
For the rest of the week, besides battling off some sickness Wednesday that kept me from going to see my folks perform, I've been working on some freelance work and Too Late pages as well as continuing to get the word out about The Black Chamber and AIV.
During the two weeks before this one, I felt like I absolutely hated everything I was doing, but just kept plugging along. After being out of town for four days and coming back to the work though, it's like I'm seeing it with brand new eyes. Like, "Hey, this ain't too bad!" The pages I'd been working on were really difficult and forcing me to draw stuff I normally wouldn't which is where I think the frustration was coming from.
Also this week I finished reading Philip Pullman's 'The Golden Compass', a book I normally wouldn't have picked up on my own, but that Dennis Hopeless got me for my B-day. Thanks for that D, I really enjoyed it and am already into the second book.
My current obsession right now is with Indian food. There's a place within walking distance of us, Swagat, that was almost like having a religious experience when I ate it for the first time, and leaves me feeling post-coital after eating it still. Mmmmmm. I'm really interested in learning how to cook it and have been reading up on it and talking with their staff about how they prepare their paneer, or what they put in their masala. I can totally see why Spain had Columbus try to find a quicker way to get those spices.
