It's 2 am, and yet i feel tired.
Went to the club. After a couple hours the smoke was killing me so I went to some other club.
Apparently a lot of the difficulty i think of as being drunk, has to do with being in smoky places, because I haven't had a drink since rehobeth 4 days ago.
This isn't a great comic. I go crash now. Maybe a new day will bring some concluding witticism.
no, not really. i got up, still feeling smoky, sent some emails and wrote a memo. off to do errands.
i won't be able to hand-file the memo because they won't let me in the courthouse after my wallet was stolen.

today's going pretty well. i wrote a memo and printed it and delivered it.
the marshalls at the federal courthouse let me in without an ID, escorted me to the clerk's office.
i got a working cell phone by bartering for some old ones i'd dumpster dived. saved $50. i confirmed that i'm in for the study in jersey, and emailed back and forth with a reporter about my lawsuit.
i got my rent paid. i did some dishes. i didn't look for my birth certificate or take the computer back to walmart or clean the house pay the bills or go through my to-do list. i bought okra for lunch
i'm paying for stuff with cash since my new cards won't be here for a week.
i guess i could unpack the car before i go to the club. i only have tomorrow to pack and get ready for my next road trip. so i'll need to hit up walmart re computer and look for my paperwork for an ID

In the old days, when the tribal elder would take a young man and teach him the stories of our people, they took a week-long walk, and every landmark was keyed to a story.
But then, we got the toyota land rover, so we can cover the whole tribal territory in an hour, so i'm going to be talking reallly fast. take notes.
So I've been away offline for a week, so i'm just going to skim a few highlights, instead of how I used to do a comic a day. Take notes.

$3500 minus $2000 expenses
On Sunday, I drove to north carolina. Monday, last blood draw, picked up my $3500 check, mailed it home, drove to Maryland with wendell, on our way to new jersey..
stopped in my old college town for the food co-op and the coffee shop. drove to wilmington, couldn't find the birth certificate office, japanese buffet, stayed with mom.
$265 minus $500 expenses
with mom with me, they gave me my birth certificate. off to new jersey.
i was in the study for one day, got kicked out for irregular heartbeat. had malaysian soup, got on the turnpike, flat tire, tow truck, hotel, bar, service station, back on the turnpike, drove home,
hit the club, slept, if i'd gotten up earlier i might have been able to catch a bus to denver to vote for bob barr at the convention, but i skipped it. coffee and internet,
and here i am. i need to pick up another study, one with less driving, to get back on track for the year. enjoying coffee and alcohol, first time in a month.

stuff that wouldn't fit in the previous strip - stopped in washington pa, dumpster dived almost enough to cover the $4/gallon gas. stopped in (small town) pa, bought a blueberry bush and strawberry
plant from a cute veggie woman (she was vegetarian and sold vegetables - read it either way)
stopped in wheeling and bought 20 used books for $40 - he said it was his big sale of the week. i was replacing a book i bought there before but lost, the gentleman from indianapolis, booth tarkington
stopped in columbus ohio. i had to use the can, so i stopped into the first place i came to - it turned out to be a trendy gay bistro, so i had the wasabi mashed potatoes.
happy birthday c7m
it's the 500 race weekend here in indy. i usually try to get out of town; things'll be crazy.
maybe it'll rain tomorrow and i'll be able to get in free, like i could have that one year.

This just in. NASA has landed a phoenix on mars. We go now to our correspondent, Twinkles.
Bob Barr was nominated for president on the 6th ballot in Denver tonight. Would auction NASA.
This raises NASA's success rate to Mars to 50%. One giant leap.
Here with an opposing viewpoint is Phyxnrx.

My plan for the day was to check the mail and do the laundry. Instead, I wound up going to three different license branches before I found one that issued me a new license.
The name on my birth certificate is different from my actual name, and this makes their head explode. So I checked my mail, and I was gonna cash a check and pay off my credit card and car insurance,
but by the time I got to the second bank it was 5 o'clock and closed, so I'm nervously sitting on a big wad of cash so I don't want to risk getting mugged at the laundromat.
I'm taking a calculated risk that stripcreator readers and local muggers don't overlap much.
Meanwhile I have a couchsurfing houseguest, and the kitchen is mysteriously cleaning itself
while I do important things like play solitaire and submit stories to slashdot.

This just in!
In the Idaho primary, Ron Paul has beaten Obama and Clinton.
DEM Hillary Clinton 16,119 38% Barack Obama 23,988 56% REP Ron Paul 29,749 24%
I haven't bought my copy of Ron Paul's new book "The Revolution: A Manifesto" but evidently plenty of other people have because the book reached the number one spot on the New York Time's May 18, 2008
"Another reader points to a quick report from Fortune magazine on the ruling." http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl? sid=08/05/28/1845254
in other news, the supreme court decided three cases yesterday, even an election case, but they were dull so no sound bite.
slashdot only used one line, uncredited, of my story on dell losing court case in new york

This just in: In Winnemucca, at the Players Bar + Grill, a Mr. Villagomez pulled a gun and started shooting people, including Margarito, 19, now dead.
A man from Reno pulled his own gun and shot Villagomez dead.
Here with an interpretive editorial is Mr. Jingles.
At the Players bar, Winnemucca, Villagomez pulled a gun, yelled "Die sucka!" He shot Margarito, when a man from Reno, said, eat hot flaming lead, mother********
Stay tuned for the weather.

I closed on the house today. Went over there and weeded and picked up trash.
Went to the club. It was packed, nowhere to sit, full of smoke, good show. So I left and went to another club
and got to talking to a dancer and it turns out her ex husband is a dancer I know, so we compared gossip, and I got her email and a lapdance.
that's all i got. is it too late to make this two panels?
she had a great story about how they met, but it would need 6 panels.

and on the third day, stripcreator rose from the dead
houston, we have a problem
man, i missed this place. volokh.com and here went down at the same time, so i thought it was my computer, but it turned out to be that fire in texas.
sure, i could have just used a pencil and paper, but i've gotten used to organizing things here.
like, i have to get up at 4 am to drive to missouri, so i should be in bed already.
not much to report. a hurricane or two, and it's still raining.

6-05-08
most of the year i'm lazy and shiftless
but this time of year, 84 F and 66% humidity, i slow down a lot.
the fuse blew in our most recent not-quite-a-tornado
my goals for the day were, check the mail, do the laundry, replace a fuse, make a better list.
it was too late to check the mail. i did the laundry. the fifth place i checked had a fuse. i put in the new fuse and it blew, so i called the landlord.
yesterday i went to st louis, screened for a study that pays so little i might not cover my gas, came back, partied hard at the clubs.
half my apartment is dark until the fuse gets fixed, and my ceiling fan isn't working, so i'm sweltering.

 

it appears that my most recent comic was eaten by a grue, or, didn't get saved before the modem went down again
i've been offline for 4 days, spent today calling tech support
by arbi, 6-11-08

 

5 days later, my internet came back up. for how long, dunno yet.
phone is working again too

6-16-08
I feel like I didn't do anything today. Mostly true.
But I did make buckwheat pankcakes, clean a closet, stack books in boxes, weed the garden, make some phone calls, catch up on the internet. Tomorrow pay rent, make a better list, get truck fixed.
This panel represents my dates friday and saturday, with mercedes and brian
mostly i've been compulsively playing solitaire waiting for the internet to come back up.
Pride day went ok. I marched in a parade, staffed a booth, saw some people I knew and thousands I didn't.
The weather was nice - It didn't hail till the next day.

6-17-08
This morning the landlord came over and fixed the lights that weren't working, and the internet's stayed back up. The club last night was off the hook.
The lab called and my thyroid test went ok so I might be able to work for eli lilly again - not that I have yet, but that was their excuse for not using me for gigs.
Baltimore will call me back if a spot opens up in an $8000 study they are doing - right when I have vacation scheduled.
I spent today hanging up clothes and going through old boxes. Strange the stuff one finds in those boxes.
In 1982 I cut off my long hair, and I saved the braid, but I hadn't seen it in years. It turned up in a box of welding supplies.

6-22-08
when my dsl wasn't working the phone company did nothing for ten days. i called back to say the phone wasn't working either and they came right out and fixed it.
i was happy, until they sent me a "we fixed it" email, that wouldn't let me reply, and i got really annoyed.
anyway yesterday
phone rang while i was making this comic, lost my train of thought.
* and by friend i mean a bum who lets me drive him around
the call was to give a ride to my friend* - we just spent a few hours playing cards and drinking.
i watered down my drinks and took little sips, so i was able to keep up for awhile.

 

by arbi
6-22-08
anyway yesterday i wrote parts of a first draft of a memo. the judge is hinting he wants to dismiss my voter ID case. I've tangled with this judge before.
otherwise i didn't get much done. my zinnias are blooming, and the summer squash is squashing.
happy summer solstice everybody.
come to think of it, a night of drunken debauchery is the traditional way to see in the new season.
For monday, we're hoping for an opinion in the 2nd amendment case, DC v. Heller

 

by arbi
6-25-08
the supreme court just announced 4 cases, which leaves the last 3 for tomorrow
way to keep us in suspense on dc v heller!
today the court decided no death penalty for non-murder cases, and knocked two billion off exxon's bill for an alaska oil spill.
there was a case about indian reservation courts, and one about whether a witness's statement can be used against the guy who killed her.

cleaned up the junk ouside my house, as the landlord has been asking for a year. got the big fan going, wrote a story. dinner for 3. washed a rug.
dinner for three: salmon, cabbage, mushrooms, lemon, thyme. the fish was dry and the cabbage was too thymey.
yesterday: moved three carloads of boxes (books mostly) to the new house. called eli lilly, no answer, no call back.
didn't: do laundry, make better list, revise the memo.
christopher7murphy/435651/ first time i've had a comic done about me. whee.
tomorrow: blog DC v heller, find a dentist, mow winthrop lot, revise memo, make better list, laundry, call ward boss.
tomorrow: fix flat tire.

I won a monopoly tournament once, at a scince fiction convention. Got my picture in the paper.
Me with my teddy bear, G. T. Bear, playing against some kid, and a guy in a vampire costume, and I forget who the 4th guy was.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Monopoly
The reason the guys at work found it funny was that our agency regulated monopolies.
That was back when I was in the Ashcroft administration, and still thought I had a future.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_tax
The game of monopoly was invented as an open source simulation to teach the single-tax theories of Henry George. How it became a Parker Brothers (TM) monopoly is a story in itself, one I won't tell in
this somewhat restrictive format. I is a proud graduate of the Henry George School of Social Science, SUNY, got my economics certificate when I was 18.

6-26-08
well it was 3 hours ago but i had to change a flat tire and read the opinion
This just in! The Supreme Court today decided it last three cases for the year. Two of them are big, 5-4 conservatives over liberals.
In DC v Heller, Justice Scalia upheld the 2nd Amendment in a historic landmark opinion.
In Davis v FEC, Justice Alito found McCain Feingold's millionaire amendment unconstitutional.
That's it for us till October. We iz gettin' drunk tonight!
Prediction: the Heller case will help sink Obama. People will worry he would try to appoint judges to roll back this civil rights victory.
Scalia did make one little error: he said that Miller, in US v Miller, was convicted. False.

Well my houseguests finally left. Usually when people couchsurf, it's for up to three days, but these guys stayed about a month, and it was getting old.
But they cleaned the place top to bottom, and helped me move stuff, so I'm not really complaing.
http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl? sid=08/06/28/177234 arbitraryaardvark writes NASA to Launch Solar Sail
plus they even left me a tv. it turns out i still had cable all this time .
I didn't go to chicago for wizard, where I could have met some great cartoonists,
(local con is inconjunction, not injunction as I mistyped first)
but i'll go to our lame local con, inconjunction, next weekend. I can even this time afford a membership.
Monday's a deadline for if I want to run for office this year. Probably wont, might.

A man had a rowboat, a fox, a goose, and a sack of grain. He can only fit two items in the boat. How does he cross the river?
My car wouldn't start at the club last night. So I walked home, slept. My key won't open my bike lock, so I took apart the fence, got my bike, air in the tires, oil the chain, ride to my car
before the rain starts, hoping my car would start today. It did. If that hadn't worked, I would have driven my broken truck to buy a battery or jumper cables.
I haven't done much else yet today. Took out the trash, putter around my garden, which has lots of pretty flowers and butterflies now, yay.
I need to work on this memo. 12 days left. Instead, I cleaned the pantry and hooked up with some guy and took him to the club.

This is the third year I've lived in this village-within-a-city, but it's the first year I got up early enough for the 4th of july parade.
It rained like crazy, but a good time had by all. There were floats made from litle red wagons, and kids in costumes, and wheelbarrow and sack races and hoolahoop girls.
The best part was when the rooster crowed during the national anthem at the flag raising at the town hall.
They do some cutesy event like this about every other month, have been since 1875.
now i can either work on the memo, or go meet john scalzi at a local con http://scalzi.com/
It lets us try to forget we're right in the middle of the ghetto. Head east of town past the arsenal and turn left at the women's prison
I'll be moving out once I have electric at my new place, cuz it's $425/mo to live here, but I like it. I moved some of my flower boxes to the front yard.

I went to a con tonight. I wanted to blend and be inconspicous, so I wore bunny ears, a tail, my hello kitty backpack. I don't own a utilikilt.
I had $30 worth of fun, saw the usual acquaintences, sat in on a couple of good panels including John Scalzi, had some drinks at the Barfleet mad scientist party, heard some filksongs.
* "Science: it works, bitches." xkcd.com/store
Noticed xkcd* and questionable content tshirts. It's the usual demographics, overweight, bearded, geeky. I fit in all too well.
Trader Joe and I donated 10 pounds of tortilla chips to the con suite. The "schlock, mercenary" author was there, but that's one strip I don't read.
I didn't buy anything or get laid or have any religious experiences, but i got a few flyers, heard some new jokes and songs.
This is one of my rare attempts to go out and be social; at least here I have stuff in common. I still feel like I'm some non-player character, that it's not for me.

yesterday: cut the grass, did the dishes, worked three hours on the memo.
today: will do laundry, do the next revision on the memo, which is due this week.
joellpalmer.blogspot.com - a voter id case now back in federal court
i spent all last week sitting at the computer not being able to get started, but now that the deadline is looming ominously, i think i have an ok start on it.
the judge seems really hostile - he's already rejected an earlier version of this memo. in the end that could be a good thing, because it sets up an appeal.

my process for writing is, angst, angst, angst, last possible minute, write like crazy. college was 12 years of hell. let's not talk about 3rd grade.

Saturday night i went to the masquerade at the con. I didn't go in costume, just some bunny ears and a tail.
There were some great costumes - Iron Maiden was one of my favorites, but the best was "the kirk and spock show", where kirk got spock to do this crazy dance.
Mr Spork, it seems we've traveled back in time to 21st century Earth. Unfortunately, we have none of their Earth "dollars", so I will need you to (whisper whisper)

Today I didn't do anything. Didn't get dressed, didn't leave the apartment, didn't get gas and check the mail like I planned. Didn't write a word of the memo.
On the other hand, my blog got 600 hits from being slashdotted, and one of my posts got a +5, and there's a new clinic in town where I might get some work, with a possible lead on doing some
http://www.schlockmercenary.com/ nope, neither the plot nor the art really grab me. the blog's ok.
recruiting for them. Mostly I wasted time online, drank a lot of coffee, read a bit of the Michener Hawaii book, took a couple baths, a nothing day.
I read a bunch of the friendly hostility strips from 2004-2006, and I might try reading Schlock Mercenary since I have its business card.
So this is basicly how my life goes.
I don't really do anything, but it takes up all my time.

I got the memo done. Started around 2 the day before it was due. I basically had to take three drafts and edit them down to one, and proofread it a few times. 16 pages.
Now I'm off to kinkos or the library to print it, and I can file it tomorrow. (had to go to two libraries and kinkos, but I got it printed.)
With that out of the way, I'll be able to take a look at my to do list and see what else i've been neglecting for a month. Not writing the memo has been keeping me pretty busy.
Club tonight! Didn't think I'd be able to go.

This morning while I was busy not working, I found a video of a donkey girl singing the miko miko leekspin polka song. If I can find it again I'll link to it.

I spent most of today doing nothing, but I did get a few things done. Went downtown, filed the memo, fought city hall. Bought chili ramen.
Dinner was ramen with okra collard peas mint from my garden. Last night, came home drunk, a friend/crack whore came over for sex.
Spent at least an hour on the phone today with the phone company and they turned my internet back on and corrected my bill and out it back at $20/mo, not $50/mo.
Now I need to make a new list, since for three weeks the memo and housecleaning was all I worked on, and I've lost track of other projects.
I sent some mail to the election law list and submitted another slashdot story. Read a chapter in Hannibal.
Watched a Cary Grant/Tony Curtis movie. Mostly doiug nothing. Plan for tonight: more nothing.

(strange, i ordered curtain3)
Stop me if you've heard this one, but i didn't get a lot done today. Took a nice walk, talked to mom, rode my bike.
I fixed the lawnmower, mowed the lawn, mowed the lawn at my new house, and moved a truckload of branches that have been lying around our neighborhood since the last tornado
and last night i helped a friend start a blog. "I, chanslut." But I didn't make a new list, and I didnt do any of the stuff on the old list. I watched judy garland and tony curtis movies mostly.
monday: i cleaned the gutters and wrote a settlement memo.
In some neighborhoods, there are annoying jehova's witnesses. In my neighborhood, it's door to door crack whores.
tomorrow: fix the truck, X make a list, X, discovery memo, X, call lilly, oops, pack for colorado, not yet, get phone charger, not yet.

I do not love thee, Dr. Fell. The reason why I cannot tell.
Stop me if you've heard this one, but I didn't get much done today.
I paid the rent and picked up my truck - they only charged me $10 to fix it. I took the recycling downtown and went to print a file and realized I forgot to email it to myself first.
But this I know and know full well.
I went through my tomatoes and weeded out the male plants.
I started cleaning out my car to get ready for the colorado trip, and made a couple screening appointments for future work.
I do not love thee, Dr. Fell.
this space left blank - maybe i'll get to kinkos before it closes and print that file, probably just stay here and read.
Clarice has just found out that Hannibal, disguised as Dr. Fell, killed the Italian detective.

7-16-08
today i printed the file, still need to mail it. i went to my bank but it was closed so i went to the branch in the suburbs and just squeezed in the door - got my money at 6:03 pm. checked my mail.
i'm about ready to head off to the mountains for a week with my extended family, so comics unlikely
unless the coffee shops in boulder have computers.
in 1916 my grandmother saw mountain goats while climbing long's peak. she lived to be 99 and came to these mountains every summer. i'll probably just see elk from the car.

 

by arbi
8-11-08
I've been back from the mountains for 10 days and havent made any comics yet, so I guess I might as well start back in.
Today, after staying up online past dawn, I celebrated turning 48 by going to the state fair ($8)where I had a peach cider slushy ($3) and fried stuff.
My entrepreneurial-idea-of-the-moment-that-i'll-never-follow-up-on is deep-fried sushi on a stick. The sign said "slushy" and i misread it.
I saw an elephant kick a football, and some white tigers, and the usual sheep and cows and ribbon-winning vegetables.
(I still don't know the origin of that meme.)
It's a tiger! Get back in the car!
meanwhile, i paid some bills and will go to the club tonight.

Sometimes I get bored online when I've caught up at all my usual sites, and I have to go find something new. Yesterday's find was a story about a guy who
puts an inflatable pool in his apartment so he'll have a place to keep his pet penguin.
http://www.betterthanyourboyfriend.com/the-infamous-ghetto-indoor-pool.htm
today i'm reading his whole blog front to back. I'm a bit too hung over to accomplish much more than that today.
Maybe i'll make a list of ten urgent projects I'm way behind on.

8-13-08
yesterday's penguin comic got a record 4 coments so i figured i'd make it a series.
when i was in colorado i was hanging out with mountain marmots and ground squirrels prairie dogs and chipmunks, so today i was googling to see if what's involved in buying squirrels for my 'hood
http://animal-world.com/encyclo/critters/Squirrels/Squirrel Profile.htm#Purchasing
http://xkcd.com/325/
so far i haven't found much. probably illegal, and $300 for a squirrel a bit out of my range. lynxes ($3000) and bobcats ($2000) for sale oh my.

just another one of those monotonous did/didnt strips from that pink armadillo thingy
today (weds) i worked on my of things i didn't get done last friday. cashed checks, paid a bill, got my rent money ready, planted the ginger, transplanted flowers, picked up trash on our street,
found my bike lock, even buried the stuff in the compost barrel. had okra/tomato ramen for dinner, washed the dishes, blogged, sent emails, made a comic.
but i didnt write any letters or memos, didn't buy a car, didn't do any of the big important stuff. the landlord mowed the lawn, i was going to do that friday. he's a bit lawn-obsessed,
i tend to let it revert to jurassic prairie.
i made a list of stuff still to do but it's not a very good list. i might have been more productive today if my friend the crack whore hadn't stopped by at 6 am, when i was trying to sleep.

Last night I was going to go to Gencon. I even made a blog entry: remember to go to Gencon.
But it would have involved stepping away from the computer, and in the end I just didn't get around to it
anyway, i did get into a $3000 study for next week, so I can almost pay the rent this year.
Today I was going to go to Gencon...
Stop me if you've heard this one.
Tonight, I'm going to go to Gencon, after I have some coffee and make a comic, but by the time I get there it'll be cosed for the day.
I guess you can figure out my plan for tomorrow...

awhile ago i had a mouse in my house, and i didnt do anything about it.
i got one of those live traps that don't work. i'm a conflicted semi-vegan
the trouble is mice expand exponentially like tribbles limited only by the food supply, and i had a big box of chips.
and i went away for a few weeks
so now, judging by the noises, there are whole colonies of mice, so i'll have to do something.
next up: a boy and his moose

I got to bed at 6 am. At 8 am, the phone rang, the phone company wanted money, a billing error.
So I've been a half-awake zombie all day, and now it's 6 am again and I'm crashing.
I mowed the lawn at the new house, gardening, and wrote a short memo, and started a longer one. Then I took a break which is going on 7 hours now, just wasting time online.
I called Obama's lawyer a liar on a list his friends are on, so I'm getting some feedback about that.
todo, laundry, memo, dinner at 6:00
I have a few days in Indy before I go back to Evansville, where I was last week.
The 4 hour drive home took 10 hours, what with the truck breaking down 3 times. Then I went to the club. Had a great time, but found out a former lover is now hiv+.

I haven't made comics for a few days while I was stressing about a memo. Printed it at Kinko's at 5 am, I'll take it to the courier tomorrow since the court is closed for labor day.
Friday my truck broke down. I spotted a car to buy while walking home so now I have a volvo wagon, $750. Getting a guy to pull my truck home with my big rope, $20.
Mercedes was supposed to come by 4 hours ago so we could do laundry, cut grass, wash the car, etc. I glad she didn't, I needed the sleep.
This comic is my waking up process. I'll have coffee, a bath, then go do those chores. She came over, laundry's done, car's washed, grass cut.
The rest of this week I'll be in evansville so probly no comics.
The guy who towed me home is probly going to be my new caretaker, fixing up the new house.

And this is Janice, our operations manager.
Uh, it's "Janus".
it's a trap?
Whatever, Janice.
So Janus, why'd you get out of politics to come work for ABCco.com?
Wasn't two-faced enough.
