And now you know exactly how embarrassing and graceless I can truly be. I only hope that this atones for the lack of work being put forth by this humble artist.&nbsp; -Nerdy Goth PS: I had bruises on my arms from the dresser drawers...&nbsp;

I am currently watching the sleet outside shift over to snow as it gets colder and this winter of Polar Vortexes, thundersleet, and grossly misjudged "accumulations of less than an inch" continue to torment me. This new round of snow days follows swiftly on the heels of a long solitary 8 hour drive back from Nashville. In this time, I have had a lot of room for my mind to wander. In those

FACT: I am not a graceful creature and this conversation or something very similar to it happens on a very frequent basis in our home. I've just gotten used to being bruised and usually not knowing how the hell it happened. Sometimes there's blood to mark the occasion but mostly I just look like what I truly truly am: a clumsy fucking woman. ::shrug:: I am going to try to draw more, guys,

Wow! So, where to start? Sorry it has taken me almost a week to get this typed out and posted but it's been a hectic week around here. And promises to be a hectic month from here on out so no time like the present, yeah? Yeah. This year's Dragon*Con was just as fun as last year and even more so in some ways since we were a team of five this year. B and I were joined by Minion and our best

Every year we go to the Elk River, load up in a plastic boat and drink until we are blind drunk,passed out, or in need of medical attention. These are the privileges of adulthood, boys and girls. This year we had an iphone with a water proof Lifeproof case on it and were able to grad some great pics and some okay videos. Well, one video is flat out awesome and I thought for sure someone was

I've been spending this week trying to make some extra money by working a data entry monster project for a friend who travels too much to do it himself. So, the cartoon has been put on the back burner for a short time. I have a second installment of Taco Run formatted in my head and just need to get it onto paper. &nbsp;Also, I made a friend this week in Cardiff. &nbsp;Yes, that Cardiff. The one

Last week I packed up the car and drove off in to the sunset. &nbsp;Well, I drove South East so not really but that is beside the point. I went home and saw some people there. I then headed for the Big Easy (New Orleans in case you didn't want to take the time to Google it but feel free to once you're done reading). I intended to spend two days and nights down there before jumping over to Houston

Hello again! Well, last week kind of sucked....A LOT. The very night that I got the new cartoon posted I wallowed in severe pain for ten hours. A nurse friend told me to go to the doctor the next day and after some whiny protesting, I did. The clinic I normally go to said "You need to go to the ER." Frak. Really?! I barely made it to THAT office without killing myself or anyone else!! Okay okay..

Ah yes, the FINAL day of con. Packing the room. Triple checking to make sure we haven't left anything behind. And then checking again. Packing the car with almost twice as much stuff as we arrived with. Side note: the new Prius is pretty damn spacious in the rear (GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER...wait...that was mine. Sorry. Carry on.) and held everything with only a little rearranging. Car

Now, you have to understand that the first day of pretty much any 3-4 day convention is the calm day. The second day is the day that all the locals come out. This is&nbsp;especially&nbsp;true if the convention opens on Friday when people (who aren't as dedicated or insane as some of us) have to work. Saturday. THAT'S the big day! &nbsp;This was just as true for our darling Dallas Comic Con as it

Where to start?! I mean, I just spent three days in Dallas, TX, with four of my best peeps at one helluva convention! Dallas Comic Con&nbsp;has just grown exponentially over the last few years and gotten better with every step. Okay okay okay before I get ahead of myself, take some time to go check out Our 411 Page&nbsp;and meet my new minion, April!! &nbsp;Yes, that's right. I finally have a

My crew of cohorts and I went to go see the new Evil Dead movie this weekend. As a long time fan of the original cult classic and Bruce Campbell, of course, I have to do a review of it! As a die hard horror movie fanatic, this was a film I have been looking forward to since first viewing the crazy eyed Jane Levy desperately uttering "There was something in the woods." My&nbsp;commitment&nbsp;to

So one of the other creative things I like to do and just haven't been in a while is photography. I see the world in terms of how it would look through the lens of my camera. &nbsp;Maybe I should have made a flickr a long time ago but I haven't until now when someone wanted to see some of my pics. &nbsp;This&nbsp;was a lot easier than bulky emails or anything like that.&nbsp; I am going to be

&nbsp;I made the mistake during my last year of college of watching a lot of true crime shows on Investigation Discovery. It became a morbid obsession. From that addiction, I developed the nagging belief that everyone in the world that I have not personally met and assessed is a potential a) rapist, b) murderer, or c) child molester. I don't let my kids play in the front yard for the fear that I

Every spring it happens. Every Spring without fail it happens. The attacks begin. Attacks on me. There are attacks on my children. Hell, even my kitten isn't safe! This yearly assault never surprises me, but it always makes me agitated and, in truth, really pathetic for a few days. Not only am I pathetic, the kids are miserable and pathetic. There's coughing and sneezing and germs and snot and

Yes I realize that these three things sound entirely random at first glance. However, upon deeper inspection....hmm....nope still unrelated to each other except that all three have happened today. Well, technically yesterday. This is where the insomnia part makes things a little&nbsp;squirrely. Let's start from the beginning shall we? A call from the school nurse about your autistic son

After a promising horror film on Netflix touting a red hooded girl snuggling a shotgun on the cover turned out to be in German (and I can't draw or write while also trying to read subtitles), I switched over to Mad Men. &nbsp;I've admired the fashions in the ads from afar, it was time to dive in and actually watch the show. Five minutes into the show, I am pretty sure I would have gone to jail

Last August, we attended Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. &nbsp;While we were there, I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Eastman, the creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. &nbsp;I mentioned that I used to draw a comic strip and just kind of fell out of it. &nbsp;I told him how I wanted to get back into it and Mr. Kevin Eastman himself told me that no matter what I did, I should keep drawing.

Five years ago, I sat at home and started having these nightmarish chest pains. &nbsp;After trying, in vain, to cope with them, I was taken to the ER where they discovered a gall stone the size a ping pong ball. I was told it had to come out before my gallbladder ruptured. So, despite having no insurance and only a part time job at the university, I went under the knife and the offending organ

Scary Mommy&nbsp;is a blog that I happened upon not through idle web scouring or frustration fueled parenting woes. &nbsp;Nope. I found this bastion of parenting madness and mayhem by first stumbling onto her book "Confessions of a Scary Mommy" while trolling through the iTunes book store. &nbsp;I was scrolling along and paused at the &nbsp;title and thought, "Oh yeah.
