Hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving and whatnot. Seraphim were just simple not here all day yesterday. The joy of holidays being that there is a lot of travel and moving around When we did finally get home last night, i started working on a DPD sketch for friday while watching the tail end of Tomorrow Never Dies and then Goldeneye… gee, small surprise that it ended up being some sort of “piroko with a weapon ready to off the viewer” kinda sketch You may recognize the spirit of this DPD to have some ancestry in that old Ruriquake image i did years ago, the one that lead to the whole idea of Piroko in the first place. I have tried to do a piroko version of this image many times, sort of the de-facto ‘ph34r t3h cute ones’ image, but i’ve yet to really be satisfied with any of them. This one was ok, and the poster of it isn’t bad, but it’s really a different kind of image. Todays DPD is getting closer.

I’m sure all of you are sick of hearing about the whole ‘black friday’ thing (the biggest shopping day of the year, etc etc, day after thanksgiving, blah blah blah). I need to start pimping things a little on the MT site, so forgive some of the advertising and product promotions i’ll be doing in the next few weeks We almost lost an entire month due to the cart software fiasco in October, so we’re defintely looking for your support this Christmas – that and MT stuff does make for decent gifts

The MegaGear store is up and running fine, and we’re getting into Christmas mode – which means i have a lot to do today MT rant in the works, should have it up tonight. Right now we need to get busy getting some international shipments out the door. whee!

I know this is gonna sound like the lamest thing in the world, but i spent the entire day yesterday cleaning up leaves and doing yard work. We raked leaves, cleaned off the driveway, piled them up, ran them thru the mulcher to make mulch to cover the flower beds. I also took great care in bringing the hoses in (i actually left one of the hoses on and filled with water for the first heavy freeze earlier this week. If you know what this can do to a hose and outdoor faucet, you can understand my relief in having things thaw so i could get things put away properly.) We cleaned bird feeders, straightened out the garage, put away stuff, generally cleaned up. I even put my tools away (there is a build in workbench in the basement) I even hung up many of them, in order, on the pegboard in the basement…

my god, what is happening to me? Am i becoming…. domesticated?

Nah. Not domesticated in the traditional sense, at any rate Between the comic, our business (megagear) and my ‘everyday life’ which is Sarah and and our kids (our cats) it is kinda hard for me to compete with the real hardcore otaku fanboys these days. I do feel like i’m not as on the cusp of things as i used to be, but for a ‘domesticated’ guy i do ok. I don’t think too many domesticated males in this country sat down and watched Karin episode 3 last night, and then proceeded to read Kashimashi vol 1…

I could be wrong, i suppose.
