I do not know who michael buble is at all, but somehow I get the feeling that I should be embarrassed to like this song!



I'm gonna be all busy with the holidays and visiting new york and new years, so I'll do a little 2009 recap now

Here is a ballet dancing pug dog

My friend Emmy made a shocking discovery recently; someone in Japan is totally ripping off my comic! Fortunately she has a friend who knows a little bit of Japanese so he helped translate it into English. It's a little rough but it gets the idea across. Still, can you believe this??

A Scottish cartoon, since I am back home for the holidays.

I'm well acquainted with the tune "Lord Lovat's Lament," since you hear it around these parts every time anyone has to pick up a fiddle and learn something. But you know, it's one of those tunes you know so well, you pay no attention to it, it's just there in the back of your head.

Then one day, I was looking up a bunch of works by Hogarth (the best) and came upon this portrait of 'Lord Lovat'. The lovely old tune and that devily face, they didn't match. So I wanted to learn more about him!

Lovat (Simon Fraser, born 1697 - there are about a million Simon Fraser Lord Lovats) really epitomizes how reading Scottish history can make you want to tear your eyeballs out, or laugh because it's nearly a farce it's so nutty. Either the people involved are disastrously loyal, or disastrously duplicitous. Everything is a disaster, but it's a hell of a ride.

The past 6 days or so, maybe less, I've been feeling very weird. At first I thought it was capstone audition-ing stress, and then I thought it was end of mod stress, but it hasn't gone away yet, and only seems to be getting worse. It's not the weird I normally feel either. Basically:

-all food - even food I really love, really - tastes odd, and a little like ash
-I can barely bring myself to talk to anyone I don't have to
-I'm not even excited about seeing my girlfriend, and having her stay over for the first time in months (something that normally would make my week or at least day)
-all the "art" I like - favorite paintings, books, movies - seem weirdly lackluster.

What is this? Is it a stress thing? I barely have anything to do these past few days, and everyone is being very nice and pleasant to me, so I don't see why that would be. And I have been sleeping enough. And eating pretty correctly, vitamins and whatnot. Why the change?

Ideas? Better yet, how jump-start perky Emma into action? Freaky morose Emma is getting on my nerves.

please refer to a previous post in which i outlined the process of thought when pulling an all nighter to write an essay. times that by four, and you have roughly my state of mind right now. i'm still not done with this goddamn essay, though i almost am, and it was due 45 minutes ago. i have pulled four all nighters in the past five days. crazy shit man. i officially hate finals. i want to go home and sleep for hours and hours. i still have to pack. i'm leaving in a few hours. i need ot sleep. i need ot finish this goddamn essay. i love write or die. it is a beautiful beautiful thing. sarah, for real, sexual favours anytime oyu want them for introducing me to that baby. i wrote five pages of rough draft in 45 minutes. also, i am shkaing from all the caffeine i have ingested in the past few hours. it's legit ridic. you can tell because of my abbrevs.

did you know that in arabic "insaan" means "human"? i tohught not. but it does. i think it is appropriate.

Doodling. The eternal struggle continues!

I saw a stage production of A Christmas Carol today. I love Dickens, I will always love A Christmas Carol. Even if they don't do smoking tricks in it.
