Wednesday List

It's been a while, but to be fair it's been a while since I've been terribly excited about anything. So. There you go then.

• New favouritest web comic ever:  Girls With Slingshots. You'll click through to the very first comic. And then you can follow the whole story like I did the other night, I went mad and read the whole thing! It took me just over two and a half hours, and I had square eyes.
• I am going to make this for my bicycle, but it shall be cooler.
• And when I learn to crochet, I shall make this. Actually, I think I can adapt the pattern and knit it, so I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
• The Pioneer Woman makes the best oven roasted wedges ever; you'll NEED the butter by the way. (If Jeebers hadn't meant us to eat butter, he wouldn't have given us mouths/cows/buttermaking equipment, I say).
• Tagata Pasifika presented a Mental Health Special at the beginning of March. Seulata Fui-Mau'u's story made me rather weepy. I'm super pro people working towards their own mental health - and having hit rock bottom myself, I always feel so inspired when I see how hard people work to make themselves better. It's a top up of good feelings! So so worth the work.
• Stoked to see that Guyana Girl is also confused about the Russian guy with the fir tree in his lung. Maybe he inhaled the tree while he was drunk. Hm. There was this one time when I thought I'd swallowed a needle, but actually it was just my imagination running away with me.

A Picture I Liked

Do you follow Tiny Kitten Teeth? They make pritty. Love the Little Golden Books inspired graphics too too much. Also, I like saying Tiny Kitten Teeth.

A picture I liked [or] Hello. I am having a mental health day.

This is because I am batty at the moment. Weeeeeeee!

I saw these two comics and they made me very happy, so I'd like to share them with you all.

This is the first one. It's from the bloggy comicy Married to the Sea.

This is the second one. It's by Natalie Dee, and I think it perfectly reflects my attitude to the comic above.

I'm going to watch more Charles Dickens' dramatisations and then maybe go for a nice relaxing ride upon my velocipede.

Hourly Comic Day

Last night I drank too much, which isn't at all surprising. While drinking I had a conversation with Bea who has asked me to join her in "Hourly Comics Day", which I agreed to, because I was drinking. Bea is keen on this because she can actually draw, my contribution will probably be considerably more useless and pathetic. Also, I don't have a scanner except at work, and I'm planning to not be at work the entire time I'm awake, if that makes sense.

Man. I am so talentless with the drawing.

And I ate deep fried chicken. Shame.

Funny story; while we were eating aforementioned drunken shame chicken, a very young American tourist came and told us he'd been arrested in Taupo for driving at 130kms, and had to go to court on Monday. Shannon told him he was going to jail, and to take some lubricant.

Shannon is wearing my "Will Dance for Food T-Shirt" and attempting to dance the Charleston.

 

He could show more leg, I think.
