New Apartment

NewApartment2014-06-14-16.51Well the day I’ve been waiting for finally came to pass.

Due to the  owners needing to get the apartment cleaned up, they would not have the place available until the fourteenth.

So this gave me two weeks to chill and recover from moving out of the old place, take care of some last minute logistical matters (which I had a little too much time to overthink and blow out of proportion) and start drawing again.

So finally the day has finally arrived It was nice to see that the place was bigger than I remembered it being not to mention being in some primo location. Of course there was a whole lot of paperwork to sign and the walk through to do. So it was all set except for one catch. The door key I had been given didn’t work the door. At first we thought it was a simple mix up and she would get me the right key the next day. However the next day came by and found myself waiting til noon (this was not doing good things for my sense of humor as I had access to a friends car for the weekend and this was taking a number on my move in time.) I finally called to see what the hold up was. It turned out that there was as much of a comedy of errors going on on their sides involving the handiwoman getting stuck on the highway, and then the there usual locksmith being closed on the weekend and probably a few other things that was not mentioned.

Finally I was told there was a place holder key for me but they didn’t really recommend me locking the door and I wouldn’t have to worry about theft If i didn’t put anything in the place. Anyway I went to pick up the key. I couldn’t find it at first. (I had been told it would be on “the counter” and I didn’t realize which counter she meant until after I called to say I couldn’t find it.) As a final straw for the day I couldn’t help noticing a small hole in one of the windows which I was sure I hadn’t seen in the walkthrough. It looked like it could have been a bee bee pellet (or perhaps a slightly higher caliber) which had me feeling just a little paranoid.

Still it will get this over with so I can start figure out how I furnish the place.

Tuesday Rhapsodies

Now that we’re back in business It’s time to drum up the regular features starting with the Tuesday Rhapsodies.

And who better to start with but with good old Franz Liszt, but not, emphasis NOT, another Hungarian Rhapsody.

I know! I’m just as surprised, and I found out about it completely by accident. This one is his Spanish Rhapsody here performed by Yeol Eum Son.

Enjoy

Well now that the drama of the previous month is over I can sit back and laugh. The new place has been acquired (though thanks to last minute details I won’t have my key until the fourteenth) I am moved out of the old place. That felt like it took forever, going back in fourth between the apartment and my storage area. Desperately trying to make sure I had enough boxes (you only realize how much junk you own when you move) And despite my best efforts didn’t get my security deposit (You spend a week cleaning, scrubbing and vacuuming and you still get a long itemized list that makes you look like a negligent slob!) 

But anyway right now I’m chilling being a houseguest at some good friends and trying to play catchup (I know I said I’d startup again right on June but it took me a little bit longer to get my groove back. My bad)

Happy Birthday Miles

A very happy 88th birthday to Mr. Miles Davis. Let us celebrate by listening to him run the Voodoo down.

 

Note much to my embarrassment this post was originally done on the third due to having the date wrong. On my calender this has been corrected so won’t happen again. Apologies.

Well this crazy month is nearly done. And I now mostly have a handle on it with a new place located and only about two days of packing housecleaning and a few other things left to do. Now the only mad rush I have left is making sure I have enough people to help me move furniture next Saturday the 24th. (To all my friends in the area, I’m talking to you! ^-^)

Anyway this has allowed me to stop, take a deep breath and start getting back to work. So I can restart the strip properly on June.

In the mean time I’ve had the time to do one of my favorite activities, sketching at public events.

This one is of Grace Love and the Haters performing at U-District street fair. (I would have done more but it started to rain.)

Alice in Wonderland

Once again we arrive on May fourth, the anniversary of Alice’s dream. For all the reasons I believe this go here.

Anyway here’s the Alice going down the rabbit hole from Jonathan Miller’s 1966 version. Despite the lack of costumes or any overt fantasy elements I think this is one of my favorite versions. He captures the dream like quality better then most of the others and Anne-Marie Mallik, the actress who played Alice. Is one my favorites capturing the complete unflappability of the laic in the books.
