Today’s A Softer World is brilliant.

Also, I get to have lunch at the newly opened Deschutes Brewery today! Must love pub food, happy birthday (almost) to me!

Si! Si, it is nearly party time! Birthday party time, that is! We are just 2 short days away from my 35th birthday and it’s starting to be exciting for me! Dinner will be fun because my birthday is one of the few times I get to pressure people to drink tequila and they HAVE TO DO IT! Mind you, I won’t pressure them to drink crappy tequila. Oh noes.

As if for my birthday, Kate Beaton made this lovely comic. Ok not really for my birthday because she doesn’t know who I am other than some random emailer from Portland, OR. But still, a girl can dream right? It’s not important WHO this is for, just that there are others out there who find Mr. Darcy as dreamy as I do. Audrey?

Today was my volunteer time at Stumptown Comics 2008. So fun, so many greatly talented artists around. I got to chat with a couple of people whose comics I really admire, including Julia Wertz who draws “Fart Party”. This is probably my favorite Fart Party comic, “Bitch Cookies.”

The comic book fest is going on through tomorrow as well. It’s at the Doubletree Hotel, Lloyd Center. If you love comics, check it out! www.stumptowncomics.com

Where did this bizarre compulsion to share every detail come from? One day I’m normal, sort of, and the next I want to share everything. New ideas, thoughts, concepts, wardrobe choices (seriously?), lolcats, everything.

I guess it happened for the world sometime around the invention of the internet, but for me, well I guess I’m a late bloomer. I should probably spare some of the world and just buy a notepad, you know, the anablog. That is so much less appealing to me though.

I lie, I know at exactly what point I decided that I wanted to start sharing the information, but how do I determine what is necessary and what is simply annoying? That’s the best part, I’ve got the will to start but not the will to ask when to stop. Nice. Well, luckily for me, no one reads this, so it’ll be up to me to determine and in the end I can only hope to make the right choice.

Until then, sorry. Hope you can stand it.

Please enjoy this katebeatoncomic. All of her comics are radtastic. Her hair is especially lovely, and her comics drawn in paint are the best ever.
