Speaking of dots, a couple of years ago my favorite glasses were these glasses with dots on them I bought at a cvs. I liked them so much I took lots of photos of them. But, sadly, I don’t have them anymore. They were cheap plastic and cracked after about a year. Sigh…
The weather has been so warm all the flowers are coming out and even the cherry trees are about to bloom a month early. And yesterday I heard an ice cream truck going down the street! Is it summer already?
Because of some crazy circumstances I missed a post last week, totally messing up Kuddle Week. So, Kuddle Week is getting extended! Another whole week of kuddling!
The kuddle kittens told me that next week they want to do comics with kuddling. They haven’t done any kuddling comics in a long, long time. They reminded me that they are the KUDDLE kittens.
My new coffee maker! The instructions very helpfully say, ‘after a few minutes the water will boil and you will hear the familiar sound of coffee percolating into the top part and the wonderful smell of coffee will fill the kitchen.’
They’re right!
Now I’ve drawn pictures of my stove, my little league town championship trophy, my coffee maker, and my lamp. Pretty soon I will have drawn a picture of everything in my apartment!
For some reason, who knows, I’ve been using the same pencils to draw the kuddle kittens since I started the website eight months ago. Now they are tiny little stubs. Well, it’s time for me to move on. It’s time for these old pencils to be put out to pasture. It’s time for a new beginning!
Here’s a picture of the old worn out stubby pencils and the exciting brand new ones!
My stove is back. Evidently, seeing another stove getting attention was too much. As seen below, last summer, my stove liked to perform in front of the kittytown cam, trying to get noticed. And, then, wanting to audition for American Idol, spent a few weeks practicing singing in my shower (for the good acoustics). What next?
This week: the first daffodil! The weather was colder this week, but that didn’t stop one foolhardy little daffodil from blooming two months early. I saw it huddling beneath a large bush. Poor little daffodil, I thought. It made me want to write a poem!
O’ little daffodil,
What are you thinking?
It’s cold and you
Have no coat!
O’ foolish daffodil,
Are you crazy?
Don’t come out to play
Until spring…
Oh well, it needs work, but you get the idea…
What I did this week:
Successfully avoided doing laundry. Each day I was able to think up new excuses, justifications, and other things to do, rather than wash a very menacing giant pile of dirty clothes.
Seeing the first flowers of spring is always a big event, and on Thursday I saw a couple snowdrops! (They’re blooming about two months early. It’s been a very warm winter.)
Coming Monday: The One Hundredth Kuddle Kittens Comic! (the exciting conclusion to today’s cliffhanger!)
what i did this week! (a new regular friday feature!) it was a big, big week for s.r. sheldon:
mummers on new years day!
reading martin chuzzlewit!
saw hawk on porch roof looming over the sidewalk on spruce street! (exclusive photo below!)
It’s a New Year and I’m going to try to write more blog posts. More artist’s journal kind of posts, keep everyone up to date on what I’m doing: thoughts on my comics, news about my site, my awful procrastination on making t-shirts and mini-comics for the site ‘store’, etc. etc…. Plus, all the other exciting things I’m doing! (Actually, I’m not doing much, mostly drawing and writing, reading, and sitting around my apartment with my stove, my lamp, and my little league town championship trophy watching Sixers games. But, I’ll try to find interesting stuff about what I’m doing to write about, and, if that doesn’t work, I can always MAKE THINGS UP! Ha, ha, ha!)
