Whole Day Off, Part 24

...and so concludes my first 24-Hour Comic. Okay, not the spookiest ending for Halloween, but I didn't realize it was going to end today when I started posting it, and by the time I was done drawing it I had trouble remembering my first name. I promise the next one will be nothing but torture porn.

Time to listen to some Cyndi Lauper and do some psychoanalysis.

I just learned that today is They Day, when They Might Be Giants fans customarily write "THEY" on their foreheads in black marker. I would totally be doing it, but I'm about to get on a train and I'm afraid of being put on some kind of terrorist watch list.

In other news: tomorrow night (God willing) I will see Genesis at the Hollywood Bowl. Banks! Collins! Rutherford! EEEE!

And just like that, I have alienated all of you.

my camera is infested with GHOSTS

So just in time for me to go on a week-long trip to Los Angeles, I discover that my 4-year-old digital camera is going senile. But I got some pretty pictures of Lead Ave. with it anyway, which you can see on my Flickr page.
