A fly can’t bird but a bird can fly

So when I was selling comics at APE a couple weekends ago…someone picked one up and contacted me to design a character for them. My heart was pounding and I was so excitied to be asked!! So all weekend I slaved away and sketched and watercolored then sketched some more until I came up with someting I liked. Let’s see if they liked it too. Now comes the waiting to hear back from them part…

We also had another out-of-town guest stay with us this weekend. This time it was Joellyn. An awesome chick who has been friends with Ronnie for 6 years. She was visiting up from LA to apartement search. She found a couple she liked and one she LOVED near our place. All three of us are keeping our fingers crossed because she works from home and has offered to walk Byron around her lunch hour. That would be sweet…

My ankle is still bruised so I have decided to go to Kaiser tomorrow to get it looked at. I am very scared of the idea of perhaps having to do surgury…

So my ankle contiues to bother me. It got all black and blue and puffy. So I an walking around like Mad Eye Moody from the Potter books, trying not to feel like a giant beast. I also steped back on the scale to jump back into weight Watchers (I have been off it since Paris in March) and am disappointed at myself for how much weight I have gained. So yeah..a tough morning.

Easter was good. Dad, Ronnie and I went to Foreign Cinema and feasted for hours. Dad and I tried to go see V for Vendetta after that, but a street fair was blocking our way as it was right on Union. ah well, I just spent the rest of the afternoon playing with Byron and Kingdom Hearts II.

Now I am at work with my foot propped up on my wine.com membership box and a katamari damacy stuffed toy as a pillow for softeness. Doesn’t sound real? Believe it my beauties…it’s true.

Last weekend was APE…the Alternative Press Expo where Ronnie and I sold our comics. It was very sucessful for Ronnie and I sold a few of my comics too! Someone even left a card for me to be an animator for their company. We’ll see how that goes. Ronnie’s friend Mark flew out to also sell things at the con. We had such a good time togther. the three of us ate pizza and played a lot of video games. Ahhhhh college-ish life..hhaha.

Byron our pup is doing well. He uses his potty pads about half the time and has a small parasyte he is taking meds for. He is such a love. He came to work the other day, met lots of people and peed on the carpet in front of one of my bosses. Whoops.

Last night Ronnie and I went to The Smiths night at Popscene. We had so much fun dancing together. I even got a bit drunkish, which hasn’t happened in a long time. Well, my drunkiness, combined with not looking at the ground and talking to Ronnie lead me to fall on a piece of broken concrete and sprain my ankle….again. I guess it has been a few years….so I am trying to ignore the annoying pain.

Oh and Happy Easter everyone!

PS_ I am sorry about all these stupid ads. Friendster is dying to it’s competitor myspace and need to find the most annoying ways possible to milk a few last dollars. If you have a myspace account…I am going to start posting this blog there. If you don’t have a myspace account…(yes family members that’s you) I will keep posting here too. Again…sorry for the ads.. )

Pics below are of our table at APE and Amy, Mark, Ronnie and myself selling our goods.

Our pup is now home. We drove down on Friday to the dreaded Bakersfield, checked into our hotel, then met Ricky and Steph at Mimi’s Cafe for a nice dinner. The next morning we went to pick up Byron., When we walked in the door he came running right to Ronnie, ignoring his puppy sister. Of course this melted Ronnie’s heart. The ride home was good. It was very hard to drive and not look at the pup because the sheer cuteness is too much to take in while trying to be a good driver. He was wonderful. Went potty on the puppy pads, slept and looked out the window a lot. When we got home, he took a look around then made himself at home.

He sleeps a lot. (Except at night when we want him to) Byron also loves to cuddle. He is a love bug. He is still learning how to use the potty pads, but does half the time which is good for a 8 week old pup. He really wants to sleep with us at night, but we are going to wait until he has better potty skills. If only this fella knew how many people want to see him! His first visitor tonight is Kirsten.

Below: pictures of Byron. He loves to chew converse. Good taste.
