When you say "I do," oh, I don't believe you

( Photos from the zoo, Oktoberfest, and some bugs )

The rest of the week has been kind of lame. My sleep schedule has been completely fucked up lately (thanks, college!), and it's gotten so bad that it's interfering with my work. I can't get anything done - either I'm too tired to focus on anything or I'm already asleep when I shouldn't be and can't fall asleep when I need to. I keep trying to correct myself, but things have gotten worse instead of better. I'm not ready to give up yet, though. Someday everything will be normal again.

I also feel bad about abandoning Sconeborough. I really want to start drawing the comic again, but I just don't have time (thanks to not sleeping right and college). And on the off-chance I do have time I don't have the creative energy to do anything because I used it all on other stuff. The same thing has happened with that book Rashied and I are doing, and he's not too happy about it. I don't blame him. I'm kind of mad at me, too.

Well, more like a couple days, really, since I don't have photos of every day that happened this past week. Things that did happen: Rashied came to visit! Fireworks downtown and in my yard! Bugs and cats (but not at the same time, sadly)! And a hell of a lot of food. Oh god. No more restaurant food for me for a couple months. Things that didn't happen: Taking photos in the abandoned neighborhood again because they tore all the damn houses down. Rashied and I drove around there to make sure everything was as we remembered it before we dragged all our camera equipment over there and it totally wasn't. I guess it's good that St. Louis is slightly less trashy, but it's still lame.





( You know how it goes. Photos of bugs, fireworks, cats, and creepy skulls behind the cut! )

Then Rashied went home and it was sad and blah. Then I had to do laundry and take care of my fish since somehow they're sick again. Voltaire hurt his fin on something and two of my other fish aren't eating. And yeah, I guess that's about it! Good times.
