Unicorn Tea Party

go on and fly to the dead moon if you want to

Every word has to be carefully chosen.

You remember my last entry when I mentioned the spaceship comic? It has a logo now! It will be a few months before it starts up properly, sorry, but in the mean time I’ll post bits as they become postable.  Yesterday I wrote the first chapter, and I have to tell you… it’s awesome.

And there were vessels that are wrought by magic of Mahound out of seasand and the air by a warlock with his breath that he blases in to them like to bubbles.

Happy Bloomsday folks. Keep it in your pants when you’re hanging out at the beach OK? In about fifteen minutes I’m cutting out of the office to go home and watch Jeff play Ghostbusters. Is this a fitting Bloomsday celebration? Yes.

The art show at Vox Sacramento went great, apparently I sold five things! You can see pictures of the event starting here on Jill’s flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jillallyn/3625650766/

I just got to look at the galleys from the children’s book I illustrated over this past winter, and I’m very happy with how it came out! It will be for sale here in a few months, I’ll be sure to let you all know when it goes up on amazon.

All this good art news is pretty rad, but the best thing is that I’m starting up a new webcomic soon and I’m not promising anything, but it just may have a space ship in it. Are you excited? I am!

Meanwhile, instead of throwing out all the concepts and procedures of the past, let us search them for values that can be put to use today.

Yesterday I collected up the past six years, put them in an envelope and mailed them off to Sacramento California so that they can be here:

I’m not going to lie, it feels good! I know they are going to be happy hanging at the Vox show, getting looked at by hordes of wandering Sacramento pedestrians. Then on to further adventures, any of which will be better than sitting out eternity in a pile here deep within the unmentionable recesses of Unicorn Tea Party headquarters.

Speaking of the past and unmentionable recesses, a couple months ago my high school boyfriend gave me a blog award! It’s true:

I think it is very shiny and awesome, and it’s also awesome to win a blog award! It seems so quaint,  like out of the past when blogs ruled the earth… It’s nice to hear from the past, and it’s even nicer to hear the past appreciates the future. There’s some wormholes getting kicked up around this event but I’m just going to ignore them and move on, it’s all good, right?  There were rules associated with this award but I think the statute of limitations is expired on that so in exchange I’m just going to set up a permanent blogroll of awesome.

Pretty soon though, not right now, right now I have to finish up this afternoon’s work so that I can get home to sushi and rifftrax Casablanca with my future husband!

PS: Sorry I’ve been away from blogging for so long – obstensibly this place is supposed to be for book reports, but believe it or not I just haven’t finished A World Between yet – I think I was too heartbroken over Anathem to be able to get into anything at all – it seems to be subsiding though. Right now I am completely absorbed in Drawn To Life, 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes by Walt Stanchfield.  It’s causing revolutions and the next step is going to be a doozy folks, thanks for hanging on with me, whoever is left! Peace out for now.

i just lied to get to your apartment

I drove across Pennsylvania this week to meet my brother’s first son, Elijah Joseph Onuska. He has the cutest most smooshable monkey face. On the way there, I listened to Heretic Pride, on the way back, I listened to Sarah Vowell read Assassination Vacation. I might have died and been born over one thousand times or more.

Today I finished Live From New York, An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live, As Told By It’s Stars, Writers, and Guests. My favorite person on Saturday night live will always be Brian Hooper, who would re-do all the funny parts with his friends every Monday during art class, but these guys were cool too. Lorne has lunch with Paul McCartney a lot, by the way.

I started Anathem and I’m ok with that being like it is, I think it’s going to be fun.
