PIllow Talk


Our late night conversations range from a multitude of subjects from different career paths to ideas about what the universe is up to while we aren't looking but they almost always end with DJ bringing up the fact that I have to get up early and he doesn't.  It's always been this way.  He doesn't like to get up early.  He doesn't like to get up at all really.

As you can see in the comic above we've got a sweet set up with DJ's loft bed and my Murphy bed.  I've never had a bed that comes out of the wall before but I have to say that I'm a fan.  It's a really convenient way to save space and open up an area for whatever activities that one might like to do that requires floor space.  We mostly just sit in chairs.

Have a good week!

Decaffeinated


DJ can't drink most things.  Caffeine makes his heart go crazy.  There was a short period of time where doctors were involved.  It's OK though, he just doesn't like things that adults drink.  But, clearly he does enjoy himself some ninja unicorns.  You'll also notice a not so subtle tribute to the double rainbow.  He's a big fan.  How can you not be?  I was made a big fan again after I watched him discover the video a good three months after everyone else.  It was like watching someone rediscover the fun of a toy you just couldn't remember the reason for wanting in the first place.  He's a champion.

Good morning Monday,

A Sticky Situation


DJ has returned triumphantly from Sacramento.  He had a booth at the Sac Anime convention and was selling prints and giving out free Get Job stickers.  Results of his venture can be witnessed here.  Also, if you're not sure what stickers i'm referring to, that information can be found here.

It was pretty quiet in the apartment while DJ was gone so when he got back, naturally a flood of conversation occurred.  Recently the idea of a leak-causing liquid and the scenarios that could follow such an element were discussed for an extended amount of time.  Don't worry.  I won't go into it, mostly for your sake.

Eventually we got on the talk of game of the year.  It was really great to see a few awards go to smaller games like Minecraft and Limbo.  Games that didn't have millions of dollars poured into them.  Games that had a lot of heart and are designed on really unique, interesting, and most importantly, fun ideas.  That being said, Red Dead Redemption took game of the year with a lot of websites and with us.  All around great game and the best thing we played that came out of 2010.

See you next week!

Grown Up Problems


It's a new year now and along with it came a lot of changes for DJ and myself.  I just finished up at the atelier and DJ is in his last semester of college.  We're slowly becoming real life, responsible adults.  Now that we're heading into grown-upville we're also trying to make something of ourselves.  I guess what I am trying to say in that middle panel is that we're just trying to figure out the right steps to take.  It can sort of be tricky.  Some of you might remember where this conversation started here.

DJ was busy in Sacramento all weekend with a booth at the Sac Anime convention.  He was there selling prints and handing out some free stickers.  He even called to tell me someone recognized him from the comic. I guess our first official fan encounter has happened.  WOOH!

Happy Monday!

The Birds and the Bush

In case you aren't sure what commercial we are talking about in the comic here's a link.  After we heard that play a few times questions started to arise.   

Ever since TV turned to digital channels instead of whatever it used to be our TV no longer works for, you know, TV shows.  Thankfully, Hulu is there for us to get some of our TV show needs.  An even bigger plus is that there are still commercials and I'm kind of only half joking when I say that.  Anyway we really still don't know what the saying means.  I have ideas but I haven't discussed it with anyone to find out if I'm even close.  Maybe when DJ makes his return to San Francisco I'll pass it by him.

I hope everyone had a good entrance into to 2011 and all of your resolutions have been made.

Happy Monday
