BFL, week 3, day 5: upper-body

I set my alarm clock for 9 AM, but it didn’t go off. Also, I was having a really nice dream, mmmmm. Still, need to work on starting the day earlier.

My upper-body workouts continue to be more satisfying than the lower-body or cardio workouts. And while I really do lose weight when I follow the meal plan, I really don’t when I don’t.

That's so 1997!

“The earliest bloggers have been at it for two years now” writes tech analyst Bill Thompson, clearly totally unaware that Pyra Labs released their “Blogger” weblogging software just about four years ago, that Peter Merholz had coined the term “blog” a few months before that, and that some of us have been at it even longer than that.

Some minimal productivity

OK, so I didn’t waste all day in front of the Internet. Since I seem to get more sketching done when I’m out of the house, I zipped over to Ground, a local coffee shop (running into neighbor and former co-worker Sam on the way) for an iced coffee and (bad of me) a raspberry and cream cheese brownie.

The observant reader will have noticed the demonic women theme running through a lot of my sketches for the past few months. I’ve got this idea for a comic strip that I’m trying to coax into something coherent. Today I came closer than I ever had to nailing down the appearances of a couple of the characters.

( Sketches... )

The brush markers are forcing me to work simpler, to create more basic forms. I like this.

Now I should head downstairs. We’re hosting Games-Club-in-Exile, and people are starting to show up.
