Agreed. And we can only imagine that this is the tip of the magic iceberg!

I have a hard time going to work everyday because it seems like my funniest ideas, concepts and creative energy are all at toxic-high levels at about nine a.m. I attempt to remedy this by doing a lot 'sneaky art' around the store. I've already been doing this 'sneaky art' for a while (little tags here and there, some funny faces drawn on concrete walls around SE, scratching WEEN in to the pavement, etc.). I can only imagine what life would be like if I could just focus on art and managing ANYTHING with out having the pressures of a very full-time job.
I’ve been spending a lot of time inside my building or hanging out on the dock smoking cigarettes with Guy, our neighbor from across the hall who is a ridiculously talented artist and pretty successful at that. He's a pretty awesome dude to bond with. I'm bad at hiding my enthusiasm at times like these. It's like I'm totally retarded. Maybe people like him take a shine to people like me because of that reason? It’s not like I’m focusing on my concepts and projects in a ‘quaint’ way. Quite the contrary, but I have much work ahead of me and improvements to make as I attempt to take myself seriously as an artist. I would never describe myself as serious. I guess I have a really hard time picking any kind of side, or mood, or candy bar.
So yeah, the new place is certainly working out. It’s just one big slab of empty concrete space. It’s cluttered at the moment, so we're getting a vast amount of shelving put in. Jason has been diligently archiving his works from the past year and developing a better portfolio. He's also quitting his job this week to put his full attention towards the book he's illustrating. We've been super productive. A website is on its way as well, but probably won't until we can attack our video work so we have more content.
Have you ever seen the BBC Documentary "THE SECRET OF DRAWING”?
It's amazing. In four parts, Andrew Graham-Dixon (who is only mildly hot, but that accent makes him at least a 7) delivers a plethora of information that will certainly make you think the next time you pick up a pencil. Part two opens with a long insight to Daniel Clowes, and then the series moves onto David Shrigley. Totally worth checking out.
I couldn't the HTML to post the first episode because I cannot read Japanese, so here's a link to PART ONE
PART TWO
PART THREE
AND PART FOUR. ENJOY!

At first I couldn't stop laughing because I thought he sounded just like Kermit the Frog. Kermit the Frog talking about Wii remotes! Then I realized he didn't sound that much like Kermit. I hate it when that happens.
Anyways, watch this video. Johnny Lee, a nerdy asian genius, has unlocked the key to making a Wii controller even cooler than it was before.

Been spending a lot of time being a great person. Not really using the internet much anymore, not really by choice, but I'm just so busy now. I hate that I barely have time for most of my friends, except for the ones I live with. Anyways, today is my Mom's birthday and on my walk to work this morning I found a dead squirrel with it's eyes pecked out and I love Nyquil. I love Nyquil.
 
At some point soon, we three will lock ourselves in a recording studio and make music .
L-S-DANGEROUS!

I made a flickr account for my art work. Things are coming along.
Oh! Jason and I bought another little organ from Really Good Stuff on Hawthorne! It's a Conn Electric Band. Probably one of the best sounding things I have ever played. We're picking it up on Friday.

Ughghghghghghghghghg. I feel horrible. This morning I woke up all fresh and happy for a new day. I made tea and toast and sat in my bed answering drunk text messages from boys of the night before and watched the Sarah Silverman Show. I got stoned. I put just enough honey in my ginger dandelion breakfast tea It was so happy and light. Then I guess I ashed a little on my toast while getting up to put my boots on and walk to work in the sunshine with my iPod playing this High Top Fades remix. After a brief adjustment in the mirror for my wooly hat, I grabbed some toast and took a bite as I walked out the front door. My stomach turned sour in a second (it was the ash toast! Drats!) and I made it to the loo just in time. I threw up my breakfast and then some for about twenty minutes, rendering me unable to walk to work and get there on time. So I called a cab and I feel horrid.
WHAT A WAY 2 START THE DAY.
On the bright side, my roommate just gave me this awesome coat because it was too 'boring high fashion' for her. I rock it like a hurricane and it's waaaaaaarm.
