February 28th, 2005 -- All the way to 11
Alas lays down the funk! In truth, you can't have a conversation in an Istanbul bar once the band starts playing.
I've just received a mock-up of the new layout for the site (thanks, Lee!) and lemme tell ya, it's going to be pretty cool. Currently the strip is just kind of there on the page, floating in the void. While conceptually that sense of lack may have a certain moody appeal, in reality it doesn't grab the eye. We're going to change that. The toughest part for me is that prettier packaging means people are going to expect more from the content. Hopefully, a few of the things I have planned for the artwork (and the old girl) will match up to the expectations created by more professional looking site design.
I missed the Oscars, by the way, because they aired in Istanbul at three in the morning. On the upside, there was also no sitting through grating and ingratiating small-screen small talk.

Within 24 hours, Bauhaus releases a new album (inspiring my inner black-hearted Goth), and Gary Gygax passes away (crushing my inner magic-user geek). What up with that, world?

I'm getting better-- the arrival of nearly 40 lbs. of temple oranges bodes for the return of full health. I'm genki enough that I'm trying out some really weird things this week-- expect amateur attempts at illustration stunts instead of plot. The blue pencil really has me trying things out.

Day 8 of this ruddy cold, and little sleep last night due to coughing. If a strip for Monday goes up, it's most likely to happen on Tuesday.
