I wanna do a feature for our under appreciated stock artists. So, give me 3 or less thumbcodes for stock you like. It could be your stock, or someones stock, but just three to keep it under control.

A thumb code looks like this: :*thumb122410810*: without the stars. Thank you!

I'm sure a number of you know I am an accountant (fixed asset accountant thank you very much!! Death to taxes!!). I would like to share with you an unusual affliction of the accountant.

Let us say it is the month of July (which it is... had to think about it). During the 1st 2 weeks of the month we are closing the books on the prior month. So in the month of July it is all about the month of June for us. Close is a period of absolute and utter stress and quite a bit of chaos. Ever see office windows in buildings with the lights on until the god awful hours of the night... those are the accountants.

This results in an embarrassing anomaly where we don't know what the frick month it is. Ever.

During the months of September-December... you are doing budget for next year. January-August all you talk about is prior year actuals and this years budgets. So now not only do you have your months totally screwed up, but now your years.

So if it is July 2, 2009 and a poor, disheveled, raccoon eyed woman flies into the main apartment office (or anywhere) and hurriedly writes a check

... which she dates June 2, 2008...

... Do not look at her like she is a total fucktard on meth. She might be an accountant and honest to god doesn't know what the fuck year or month it is.

You should see the looks I get when I ask people what month it is before I write the check.

Happy Independence Day to all the Americans out there! Jesse and I usually eat hotdogs and watch Independence Day. We had pigs in a blanket and mac and cheese!


I want to redo this drawing for =AlameaLio's contest:

The link seems to be completely crapping out on me. Let me know if you can not view the picture and I will attempt to re-upload it if I can find it on my computer.

I want to draw Jarome using this reference:


Both of these will be graphite...

I also have a slightly surreal digital painting in mind... we shall see.


Lamb chops with oregano, lemon, and garlic
Spaghetti with an olive oil, roasted garlic, herb toss
Green Beans... I suck at green beans so we shall see with this...

Soooooo... I still hurt from working out Monday night. I'm hobbling everywhere.... Srsly... wtf. I don't even want to have "relations" I'm so sore. God this sucks. I was thinking I was going to do the exercising 3 times a week, but I've come to the conclusion I'll end up killing myself if I do that for the 1st few weeks, so I'm gonna go with twice a week. Friday... Friday I shall do upper body.

Damn my butt hurts...

In other news I might actually not have to work this weekend and Friday!! Which is rare in the accounting field.... being quarter end and all...

Okay, so I worked out yesterday for the first time in MONTHS and I was pretty hard on myself. When I got home I thought I was going to throw up (20-30minutes of free weights... cereal before) but that alleviated.

Was going to work today. Walking down the steps was quite a challenge (noodle legs, and my head is feeling funny). Fall into the car, knowing I need to get gas. Driving out of the complex I quickly come to the realization that I SHOULDN"T be driving. WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY?!?! As I was pumping gas I was seeing double... literally... ever person there had a Siamese twin. Everything far away had this blurred tone to it. I'm wondering if this is realated to the workout.

Call the boss, leave a message "I don't think I can come into work today. I feel really bad. I'm at a gas station right now and am seeing double, so I really can't make the drive. I worked out really hard yesterday, and maybe that is it. Hopefully this will get better and I'll be there later today, you will see me tomorrow at the latest." Gave her my number (and my phone is almost dieing btw)

As I walk back up the steps to the apartment I slowly begin to realize that I may have taken my Ambien (Sleeping pill) instead of my Welbutrin (ADHD meds). So for the next 8 hours I am screwed. Wonder if I should go to sleep or stay awake and see what happens......
