This is the living room of the new house where I live. I'd say it's quite a step up from the Dirtfarm. Look at the windows! Those are real blinds, not church pews! I love my new place. It's in the Mt. Pleasant area of DC, and I got a really good deal on my room. I'm also just a 15 minute walk from work and close to plenty of amenities. I'm in a group house with one other guy and 2 girls. They're all very chill and drama free (so far).

this week's comic contains one drunk elephant.

It was great seeing everyone over Christmas, including various members of the killoggs army. I met with Kiche, Emily and Rick on Xmas Eve at Cafe Du Monde in Da Quarters. We drank much cafe au lait, made voodoo dolls in the likeness of Milky, Jeff and Meredith and then stomped them into dust.

I randomly ran into Zack for the first time at the Red Star that night. Very cool guy. We exchanged awkward hellos chatted, made voodoo dolls and subsequently stomped them into dust.

I went to Louie's with Nathan and Heather. Much fun. We ran into Talice there. Amazing. We ate, drank coffee, made voodoo dolls and stomped them into dust.

Now I'm at home, waiting out the year until I can shed my skin and begin hating everyone afresh.

Cheers!

This comic won the xeric foundation grant. I picked it up at the comic expo in MD last autumn and was floored. Excellent story, excellent illustrations... I love the man who drew this. Sincerely. Click on the book name link to see the first few pages of the book...

An awesome book about two myrmecologists on the hunt for a new species of ants.


Into the Wild

About a starry eyed kid from Virginia who decides to live in Alaska. The author follows this kid’s route to Alaska, trying to figure out how a kid, who came from a middle class family, graduated from a good college, could have ended up dead in Alaska, frozen to death (don’t worry, this isn’t a spoiler, it’s on the front of the book) after excommunicating himself not only from his family, but also civilization.
