068: Dead Fish Handshake

on Aug. 14, 2006

I got caught up in some stuff this weekend. I'm not amazingly happy with the way the page turned out, either. I really had to squeeze it out.

This past week wasn't that impressive. I got a gigantic sore on the side of my tongue that has been making it difficult to talk (and, as a result, I suppose I seem more standoffish to my family). I've got a bunch of art projects I need to finish for school, and on top of that I've got this gigantic English summer assignment looming over my head. When I was younger, summer seemed to stretch on forever, but school comes too early nowadays.

At least I got into that work study program for school. Now I get to take off early and be a "computer aide" for the D.O.D. I never thought I'd ever find myself workin' for the Man, but here I am. My activist rocker brethren would be ashamed of me. (Still, the Man pays pretty good, so…)

T-shirts are still coming soon. I've got the first design all laid out, but I want to order one to see if it looks all right. Hope you don't mind.

Next week: More exposition. Sorry, guys.

Sincerely,

Ian Jay
