Gloaming or other people’s blogs are better than mine…
I’ve lived in my current place for almost seven years and last night I did something for the first time: sat on the stoop with a friend in the twilight. Chris came by for a chat, and since we’d tried to pull together a dinner date but it had fallen through, I hauled a couple of chairs down and we sat out in the midsummer warmth and watched the moon rise. It was a lovely antidote to some of the prickliness I’d been encountering earlier in the day. At one point, a little girl named Fantasia came by on her scooter with the flashing LEDs embedded in the wheels. She was out with her mom, passing out fliers for the upcoming block party.
Chris and I hung out there for about an hour and a half, and then, refreshed, I came inside and worked on some drawing.
Truth is life offers us all the respite we need, if we’re willing to look for it.
Also LJ continues to surprise: I’ve recently run across a new bunch of comic artists on here posting great stuff – you should add them to your friends list:
Finkenstein, whose strip is NSFW, but is always under a cut.
And especially this one which made me SHUMBATD (Snort Hard Under My Breath At The Desk).
