Endings, Beginnings, and the Push by Canadian Troops on Falaise
There is no comic today (5/13/09). You can see that. Work (which is usually awesome), has leaving me wiped out. We are suffering from “product launch” and there are simply too many things to do. I’ve come home and not had the energy to work on comics. My creative juices have been depleted. Thusly, my buffer has been depleted. However, I hope that I can scrape together enough entertainment to post. I am a monkey who is hauled out to dance for you.
I don’t mean that in a derogatory sense for either of us. I make a funny strip. If I didn’t want to entertain you, I really shouldn’t have put this website up. Really.
For your part, if you aren’t entertained (in some fashion), why are you coming to the site? This a mutual experience. If watching this monkey dance, I am happy to dance for you. Which is why I’m a little sad that I don’t have a comic today.
However the project that has soaked up so much of my energy has ended (mostly). I am starting to recharge my batteries.
On Monday, I saw a film that is a reboot of a television franchise that was created in the 1960s. If you need any more clues about the film, I will say that the characters are “culturally iconic”, and that the film caused me to pee my pants with its awesomeness.
On Tuesday, we had our traditional date night. That is to say, we hauled out a boardgame and had at each other. As is typical with date night, we played Memoir ‘44. As mentioned in previous posts, She often does better than I do. We’re playing a “Grand Campaign” (a series of linked scenarios where the outcome of one game has an impact on the set-up of the next).
After a series of defeats, I lead my Canadian troops into the town of Falaise and an overall win of the Grand Campaign.
OK. Not a big win. In fact, the Grand Campaign was decided by the tie-breaker (33 to 30).
I’m going to spend one more night playing hookey from comics to go our monthly classic book group. Tonight we explore Ringworld. I was going to try and construct a literally/literaturely pun, but the art of words isn’t coming to me today.
