A Dark Labyrinth of Silly Putty

[jackshoegazer]

Ta-dah! Everything is back to normal. Mercury quickly retracted all of his evilness and put everything right. How much longer until I can go back to normal thinking?

The only lasting effect is that I was forced to spend six hours sitting in a coffee shop editing the Book. I got 130-something pages done, which puts me at over half done. (Remember, these are double-spaced pages, so it's not as thick as it sounds. We're looking at a 250-275 page book when when published.)

I was playing around on Photoshop last night and designed this Book cover. I've probably done close to twenty different covers. This one is probably close to my favorite. We had the idea of releasing the Book with multiple covers, each gaged for slightly different target audiences, plus the collectors who would buy every version. (Because it's that good, you know.)

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm kind of bored and lonely today. My roommate is at band practice for I-don't-know-how-long. Ethan and Ben (my roommate's son) have a couple friends over today for a sleep-over, so they're all occupied. The house is full of rambunctious boy noises, which seems to amplify my boredom. I can't seem to settle into anything, let alone folding my laundry, reading or even editing.

Did you ever see the episode of South Park where the lesson learned was that marijuana is okay, but it makes it ok to be bored when you could be doing something else or learning a new skill? Yeah, I'm bored and I can't even make it okay to be bored.

Im at the fireside cafe in eastside portland, and im sitting here and doing my thing, my computer seems to be working unlike all weekend.. which means that three downtown bars have broken internet routers - or I need to get a new driver for my wireless g - and anyway these THREE COPS come in and sit down at the frickin table right next to me. I have pot in my pocket - I was smoking all but ten minutes before I trucked up to the fireside...
Im thinking about stepping outside to smoke a cig.. and doing something that I would normally do... a little joke, "Hey watch my bag eh?"
If the patron responds I kinda "tell em I see em" by saying something "gauged" for their apparent attitude.
"Somebody grabbs it.. get a description eh?"
"Somebody grabbs it.. I said its ok to beat em up eh?"
"Somebody grabbs it.. just let out a holler heyeah?"
for the cops
"Somebody grabbs it.. cuff em eh?"

What do you think?
BTW - I like the cover concept... but I would switch up the potter-esqu font for something else.. more skidooper... you need pdf? you email me and I get you a pdf man, real quick like, homie discount (free ;)
