Tuesday night Chris and I made an offer on a home and we still haven't heard whether or not it was accepted. Part of me knows that there is no way we'll get the house. Everything is working out a little too well and it just doesn't sit right with my inner pessimist. The other part of me is ripping pages out of decorating magazines and has already picked out the perfect tile for the kitchen back splash.
Chris is just as bad though. He spends his time absent mindedly drawing out the house's floor plan while discussing landscaping. We'll debate which room has the best light for the studio and in the next breath whisper "...ohgodohgodohgod we're not going to get it..." while rocking back and forth.
Realtors take a perverse pleasure in playing with people's emotions... I just know it.
Speaking of tragically premature plans...

I was recently chastised by my father for being a little heavy on the Obama. I tried to explain that I'm not obsessed with the campaign... I'm just lazy about posting, so it just looks that way.
There are two solutions to the problem of perceived over-obamanation: 1) Create an entire post on the positive aspects of one republican pundit of my dad's choice in order to create balance. 2) Post more often.
I'll go with upping my post frequency since I'm tired and, as admitted above, lazy. Dad would probably choose someone like Ann Coulter anyway and, while I enjoy a challenge, I don't think my fragile soul could take it.
Things I'm enjoying at the moment.
1. Online Comics
2. New curtains in the studio
3. Today at work we're ordering biscuits for breakfast. ROCK!
4. New art in the mail from Ashleyg! Thank you!
5. Tiny Showcase
6. Rollie Fingers

Labor Day...just...won't...die....
Okay, now it has. I'm done.
The final copy is at flickr. Download it at original size so you can make copies and pass it out to Starbucks workers and incite conflict in the workplace... be an organizer. Keep in mind that the poor thing was killed before the proofing process began so pass it out at your own risk.

Happy Labor Day
Last week I worked up this illustration of "The History of Labor Day" for a special section in our paper. Sadly the piece was nixed as it was viewed by our publisher to be a little too friendly to organized labor and "not the message that we want to send out". Well. Fair enough. The guy is from Michigan so I understand his distaste for unions but when I was told to illustrate the history of Labor Day I wish someone had told me to keep the Labor Movement out of it.
So here it is...my unpublished labor of love.
