Christmas At Home
That's where Christmas should be celebrated. =)
Christmas pipes, Christmas pipes / Calling us home on Christmas night / Call us from far / Call us from near / Oh play me your Christmas pipes.

All That's Left...
I can't believe it never popped into my head until now:
Are most rebellious people left-handed?
Because in analyzing myself, I see a pattern that probably starts with the inherent fact that I am left-handed. A natural deviant, automatically different and in the minority.
And when I ask of "rebellious", I'm going for the broadest possible meaning, that can still have meaning, that is.
Not just statistics on people in alternate lifestyles or subcultures. Psychopaths? Homicidal maniacs?

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief / For it's such a lovely day to have to always feel this way / And the time / That I will suffer less / Is when / I never have to wake. [Portishead, Wandering Star]

"You Know That I'm Standing / Right In The Middle And I Am..."
I was so in love last night.
And not with any one girl per se, but because of the culmination of little things, kindnesses & love, that came my way all evening:
Interested conversation, a flirty & playful friend, being given $20 just for being me (it wasn't a tip on a bill, it was handed directly to me), compliments, a love note, smiles, many good laughs, and on and on...
Spencer & I watched "In Bruges" last night. We thoroughly enjoyed it -- great movie. I'm sure it's too subtle for most people, but that's one reason why I liked it: it was a comedy, but with -0- slapstick schtick.
Before I went to bed at ~5:30am, I had a single homemade chocolate chip cookie. It was so powerfully delicious that I couldn't possibly have another. And it amplified that feeling of loviness, I swear I must've had hearts in place of my eyes [a comics reference, btw]. There was nothing that could top that, so sleep was necessary.
The feelings weren't there shortly after I woke up, and that's probably a good thing. ;P
While I agreed with Shannon last night that the anticipation of things is usually more fun than having/experiencing them, that cookie man... oh man. ^_^
In other news, a bread machine believed to be thousands of years old was found in an alley today, film at 11.
Oh wait, sorry about that... [Only Joe will understand the reference anyway, hehe.]
At Starbucks this past Wenzdae I spontaneously designed a new comic character. Liqwid Jelliman. He's so expressive -- I love him! [Don't worry, I will be drawing him a lot, so you'll see him here in the future.]
Sara kept thinking of ideas/situations for him and I'd draw 'em [not entirely unlike the premise behind Jellyfist (thanks Spencer!)], so I have a page full of zany mini-comics about a cute, hapless being made of a gel-like material in a semi-human form, with floating hands, feet, and head. =)
I just read [digitally] through both issues of "I Feel Sick" by J. Vasquez, and besides being really good (of course), it also fills in some background for JTHM. >:-]
Also, candy canes. I have lots of those.
But no Barista of Doom. Where did you go?! Your cuteness knows no bounds!
The Christmas, it fills me!
And with that, I will reveal the reality:
[continued from this post's title, clever no? You love my insane ingeniousness good, yes?]

Candy Canes
Candy Canes are the Cadbury eggs of Christmas.
Both candies are special, available during a certain season of the year, are tasty, and although there are several flavors, the original is the best.
(This revelation brought to you by a completely mellow Diavo at a Starbucks, last Wenzdae evening.)

He yelled "Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen / Comet, Cupid, Donner & Blitzin / Gin & Tonic / Rum & Coke" / Bloody Marys ain’t no joke. / Juke joints, late nights, bad food, bar fights: / Last night, I went out with Santa Claus! [Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Last Night (I Went Out With Santa Claus)]

Lightly Tangled
My Christmassy wallpaper for 2008. It's been added to my Deviant Art & Photobucket galleries.
It was directly inspired by a comic I did in 2006.
Each bulb was added by hand, then lit with 2 layers of different Gaussian Blurs behind 'em. There are 2 bulbs out on purpose; don'tcha hate those? ;P
The words are a quote from a wacky anime version of The Nutcracker that my sister & I grew up watching each Christmas. >:-]
Updated version here -- I added red & green glows to the top & bottom of the screen.
