| Oct. 1st, 2009 03:24 pm State the Patric Dear blog, School is a-going. And i'm going with it. Teaching has been going well. I enjoy the supply-side of education far more than the consumption-side. The classes they're making me take this semester don't interest me very much. At least I have my thesis to work on to keep me sane. I had my proposal meeting today and it went well. I have some really great people on my committee and I'm really excited about where this play is going.
Meanwhile, I still make comics. After I get done with this FNS story, I'll stop and come back in 2010 with FNS in black and white again. I've decided that the color is cool, but it's slowing me down. I'll just do it for special stories I think. Fun Factory continues to be a blast, but each strip takes me like 4 hours to do. Urg. The better I get, the slower I get. I do think that Fun Factory is a better strip than FNS right now just because I've been holding in all these ideas for so long that they're pretty refined. On the other hand, Freaks N Squeeks looks prettier and it really has some well-defined characters in it. I don't have to "write" FNS so much as "watch" what the characters do.
In personal news, April 16, 2011 looks like a pretty important day in my life. Just saying. Looks like a game changer and all. An expensive game changer. Band sucks these days. The fucktards on the band board fired Glen, the awesome director. There was a loud complaint about this by a good portion of the membership that was essentially ignored. I swear, if I hear the phrase, "we're getting back to how it used to be" one more time at practice, I'll scream. Things look grim there. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be with that band. Tiffany already left and it just doesn't feel fun any more. Why should I stay with a group that doesn't want me?
