-Got my mom some tulips and some junk for mother’s day. It was a poor mother’s day, meaning I had no money to get her what I wanted to so I made her present as presentable as I could get it. Matching bag and everything.

It’s like some sort of unknown planet.
-Being bald this time is different. It’s like I’m extra bald this time. It has to be because I actually interact with people this summer. Last time I was bald I was tucked away in Lakeshore. People keep noticing things about the back of my head now and telling me about it. It’s interesting.
-She and I are setting up our bikes lately in the hopes that we will actually start getting more exercise. I saved up from my old job at Blockbuster and bought my bike years ago and then never really rode it. It’s a good bike. I bought it when I was so hung over I had been hallucinating. I had a huge headache and stumbled my way to Peddlar’s and let him charge me way too much for it. When I got out of the store I wobbled my way home with it narrowly avoiding being hit by a car. Oh, rum.

-I’ve waited 12 years for Diablo 3. I had some quality time with it over the past weekend. So far so good. I didn’t really even pay for it so even if it’s bad I have nothing to complain about except being disappointed. I doubt I will be though because I didn’t put it on a pedestal and get my hopes up for it. It is fun though. I got it for free because I play Warcraft. Blizzard had a deal a while back where if you agreed to keep playing Warcraft for another year they’d give you D3 for free. Sweet deal because I’ll probably be playing WoW for the rest of my damn life anyway.

-I’m reading Bartending for dummies. I’ve read all of the basic information in it so far, and I plan to over the course of….forever, make each cocktail recipe it has in it. It has something like 1000 recipes. I used to want to be a bartender before I got into comics, and I only wanted to do that because I figured I would be an alcoholic deadbeat anyway. I’ve been meaning to try all different kinds of booze and increase my tolerance for hard liquors for the past while too, so this will be perfect.

-I’m finally reading again. Just finished up to volume 5 in Black Jack. An 80’s manga about an unlicensed doctor made by the same guy that did Astro Boy. He draws guts really well.
-Once a month I’ll be adding a new product to Evvieco. Calendars, posters, mugs, stickers, buttons, bookmarks. Whatever, I’m going to be a huge whore. Evvieco will almost certainly have a booth at Fan Expo 2013. I start advertising sometime next month.
Now you can order anything I’ve ever drawn on my site in print form.
April 27 - May 07 2012
-I think my capacity for remembering things clearly only spans a week. I can’t remember what happened at the end of April. Probably nothing important.

-As of May 1st Evvieco is 12 years old. I think I’m in it for life. I usually celebrate it by throwing a huge kegger and giving it away for free with more pizza than is necessary, but this year money is super tight. I might need to start a keg fund raising event. If I can’t find the cash for this thing the farther away it will be, but it’ll happen. OH IT WILL.
-My debts total about $650 and I’m freaking out about them. Pretty ridiculous. How do university students cope with owing tens of thousands of dollars for pretty much the rest of their lives? I can imagine there being a lot of newspaper cartoons with little illustrations of students being crushed with large bags labelled: DEBT. maybe one with a piggy bank or a pie chart joke.
-It was her birthday recently. I got her a sweet new stereo for the car and some upcoming gym clothes. We spent an evening with our local car guy installing it. Saved me about 100 bucks. I probably could have done it myself I just didn’t know what to do with the wiring. I figured there would be something special you need to do with some specific tool I don`t have and that you don`t just tie the wires together. Turns out that`s exactly what you do. Before that we used the new BBQ her Mom won at a stag and doe. It was some pretty sweet dead animal. After that we drank and watched Wayne`s World.

-I shaved my head because I didn’t want to pay for a haircut. People are literally startled when they see me now. Makes me want to be a tough guy.

There it is. Comic prints and art prints will be the next product I add.
