I've been seriously neglecting the blog for the last few weeks, but I have excuses. I work three jobs: news photographer, Everquest 2 half-elf bard, and wanna-be comic book writer.



Anamorphic, my comic book project is nearly ready to send out to the publishers. I've been working feverishly on proposals, scripts, and all that kind of paperwork stuff. Over the past few months, I've assembled a pretty kick-ass team of collaborators, and all our hard work will soon be evaluated by the professionals.

Here's something interesting I kinda realized today: This project has been done entirely through the internet. I have yet to physically meet or speak to anyone. I've only used bulletin boards and email for communicating (and paypal for expenses). And, some of the publishers are okay with primarily using email to communicate. But, I guess eventually I'll have to talk to someone, right?

This is reminiscent of my several attempts to order pizza over the internet, in order to bypass human communication. I just can't get past the meeting-the-person-to-get-the-pizza part of it.

I've been watching the entire run of SciFi channel's Battlestar Galactica over the past week. And, I've learned that all this internet electrickery comes with a price - the eventual conquest of the human race by robot overlords.

So, I think a comic book publisher calling me in the next few weeks wouldn't just be rad...it'd be one small step in taking back our doomed humanity.
