And it looks like we live again. Don’t know what happened, but I fixed it.
Oh computers. Is there anything you *can* do?

this page is apparently down, and you can’t even read this. So we’ll see if I can fix this or not.
So things are going well. Sure, I’m tired all the time and I work six days a week, but things are going real well at the store, and married life continues to be awesome.
That’s a mature way to look at marriage. “Dude, it’s awesome!”
Speaking of Dude, when did “Nice” become the new “Dude,” as in, a word that you can use in almost any situation and convey meaning based solely on tone and inflection. Sarcastic, happy, whatever, “Niiiiiiiice” is now there. I was having a conversation with someone the other day and every reply, about seven times in a row, was “Nice.”
“So yeah, I got married, and it was really great.”
“Nice, nice.”
…
“It sucks because Marvel releases these covers, but the don’t give us any breakdown on the ratio, or let’s us know if it’s not 50/50.”
“Psssh. Nice.”
…
“This one time I had my wisdom teeth out, and they had to send me to an oral surgeon because they were so jacked up.”
“Niiiiiiice.”
Anyway, for street fair this weekend, we had balloons all over town with our business cards stapled to them, making a trail to the store, which had a crap-ton of balloons around it. Naturally, some of the balloons got loose Friday night, or were then released into the stratosphere. Today, at work, someone from Maryland emailed us, saying they found what was left of one of our balloons. Nice!
I’m jinxing it just by saying this, but it looks like I’ve got a new artist to work on comic stuff with. Best, he not only lives in Yellow Springs, but in the building next to mine. He came into the store a bunch of times, and we were talking about comic, and he showed me some of his art, which I liked, and then we started talking about one of my ideas, and I sent him part of a script and bingo. We’ve met a couple of times, and he’s working out character designs, and I’ve re-roughed the first issue script, and need to finish typing it out, but hey…you never know. He’s said he’s really excited to be working on it, so that’s nice to hear. It gives me something to do while I wait to hear from agents.
Going back to the wedding, I’m slowly making my way through the seven extra boxes of wine I bought for the reception. Hey, someone’s gotta drink ‘em. Cheers!
