No Talking Tuesday # 61


The List:


all your controller talk made me realize i forgot
to tell you i'm leaving for s.f. tomorrow morning

i'll be back monday night

obscenley early

i'm taking a cab

some packages will likely arrive for me in the mean time
just bring them in

i would be worried that you would mistake
the boxes for recycling but since you never
take the recycling out it wouldn't matter

No Talking Tuesday # 60

This Tuesday found me stalking the halls of a Toys R Us. I thought it was blasphemous to my childhood that I should now live right near a Toys R Us (Which would have been something I would have only dared dream as a child) and that I've strayed so far from my roots, that I don't even care.

So I went in prepared to stock up on all the lost favorites of my childhood:
Don't Break the Ice, Connect Four, Monopoly, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Yo-Yo's, Jenga etc.

Like so many of my wistful adult expeditions to return to the glory days of my youth, I no longer saw the glittering bright, colorful towering isles of toys rush past me as I drove in a mini race car whipping around isles sending flustered soccer moms shrieking. Instead what I found was a cavernous, dimly lit warehouse full of licensed I.P's like Star Wars etc, and baby gear (strollers and whatnot), scaffolding and dusty tarps lightly muffling the sound of hammering and construction, apathetic employees slowly stalking the isles like necromancers roaming the wastelands.

Still, Toys R Us was always about content, not cosmetics. So I held out some vestige of faith appearances not withstanding. Until I found to my horror many of my favorite games have since been re-cast into some awful, often more curvy plastic laden, gaudy new design. And what wasn't malformed no longer existed.

Toys R Us does not carry Yo Yo's...

Truly the world has reached a low point I hadn't yet imagined possible.


The List:


It would be hilarious
if I made a rule
modification where
I could speak but
only like Beaker
with varying inflections
and tones of "me"


I think I may have left my
black back pack in the juice
bar yesterday. Has a
backpack turned up in the
lost and found?


One carrot/orange/apple
juice please - small

Polaroid/Drawing Series

I’ve decided to get the most out of my dwindling supply of Polaroid film
by starting a new series where I take a Polaroid of the subject I have drawn.
Specifically the more refined brush pen/wash drawings I’ve been doing recently.
The idea being I present the drawing and Polaroid together.

The drawings are to be done in my sketchbook,
though I’m still trying to decide if I want to present them that way,
with the Polaroid pasted on the opposite page,
or to present them a little more deliberately.
I did a little experimentation with the first one in the series and tried both approaches:

No Talking Tuesday # 59

A historic night.

Obama becomes president and i'm forced to question my cynicism about America.

I wouldn't have thought America was ready for Obama, luckily I was proven wrong.

The List:

I think everyone should vote

it's the most important thing

we can do to make a difference

in our government

California is going to Obama for sure

so it's less dire than if I lived in

Ohio/Florida etc.

Also I believe everyone should vote

for who they think would make the

best president.

(regardless of party/who is in lead etc.)

which for me is Ron Paul,

which of course would

be pointless for me to vote for.

But mainly I'm uninformed

and rendered jaded by

behind curtain influence of

world banks, the ease of manipulated

voting fraud of electronic voting

machines etc.

Luckily I have the luxury of

living in California where people

have enough sense to not choose

to encourage the very real danger

of Palin becoming president

(if Mcain dies during term)

I thought it was just o.k.

until it opened up, then

I think it was good

I think your voice could

stand to be a little

smoother from that point on.

Oh hey i've been meaning to

ask you; one of my old books

has come apart (the outside

from the bound pages) would your

new found glue making skills

be of use to re-secure it?

The most straight foreword tea please

I oscillate between

libertarianism and

socialism. Both semi

extremes have very nice

outputs but both only

really work when done

uncompromised, which

isn't really realistic
