not falling down

Hey, I just noticed that today is my red hat’s first birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RED HAT!

Really ought to wash that hat, actually.

Yeah, remember Short Bus? The comic where I used to rip off Penny Arcade jokes and print them in the newspaper? Apparently it was the best comic strip for colleges with under 5000 students in Kentucky last year. Who knew?

It’s nice to have the validation, except that I know nothing about the competition or stakes in KIPA Division B. I may well have been the only entry. Also, this only drives back into my head the fact that I never draw comics anymore, dammit.

Will White is a genius.

“I had never seen something so corrupt and lawless in my entire career … interference with a federal investigation of the most serious environmental disaster in the history of the Eastern United States.”

I have a friend who’s from Inez originally, and I remember talking to him over IM when the spills happened in 2000 (we were home on fall break at the time). He took some pictures of water in the area; I’ll have to ask if I can post some of those, if he still has them.

See, it’s funny because I actually have a casual acquaintance with Dr. Unheimlich, and (I assume) he knows I have an American accent. Darn you, Dr. Unheimlich!
