Hey look! It's August! Who wants to kick my slacker ass?? :P 'Sorry.... I guess i was stalling so that i could incorporate some news regarding 2 website launches. Some of you may already know about this.... but for those who don't: YES: 2 new and exciting web projects to be launched very, very soon. So, here's what i've been up to :) ....
My sister flew in from NJ for a week-long slumber party at my apartment. Here she is in all her sky-high french toast-eating glory. (( And yes, she totally killed that mountain of balanced breakfast. :D She doesn't mess around. )) She brought along her friend, Jade. And in case you're wondering, Niles did NOT maul anyone....which is a damn miracle!
Some adventures:
We took her to Nine Thirty at the W Hotel in Westwood; the most "LA" restaurant we could think of... (( *stock-photo alert* ))
...it's got some very 'hip' decor, and food is excellent...though expensive. **While entertaining out-of-towners, we tend to go to more places and spend more money than we normally do in an entire year. ;) I believe the pretzel bread, alone, was worth the trip, though, the highlight of the 930 experience was definitely the rat we met around the valet area. We were his biggest fans!
....i think we were his only fans. Some dumb ass bitches kept screaming at the top of their damn lungs as they attempted to 'run' away in their ridiculous heels. Hahaha. Rats = the perfect 'dumb ass bitch repellent'.
We visited the second happiest place on earth: Disneyland! :D The infamous, Rob K., my hilarious brother, joined us for adventures....
Yeeee-hawwwwwrrr!
<------Rob K. and Melissa: love them varmints! ^^
(( 'More disneyland pics in my flickr account....including your favorite pirates!!! ))
**COMICON 2006** We only attended for 1 and 1/2 days; Rob and I drove down early Saturday morning along with magic-pants-Larry. It was so great seeing all the out-of-towners from the drawing board again ^_^ Alberto Ruiz, Marty ( Paintmonster ), Clarke ( CSnyde ), Brad ( Agent Helix ), Bob ( Animal Qwacker ), Francesco ( TheRonin ), Big Al, ScribbleMonkey, Ragnar, Bill Presing, Cedric, Monkeyfeather, Steve G., Autumn Turkel, Michel Gagne.... dammit, i think i waited too long to write this report /:P Apologies if i'm forgetting anyone. Picture time!

We didn't buy much.... 'though i made sure to pick up Chris Sander's new sketchbook and put my name on his mailing list 4 thousand times :) Alberto, very generously, gave us an AMAZING set of his most recent prints! 'Also got copies of Marty "Paintmonster"'s new book, Clarke's book, stickers from Ragnar and some awesome Pea and Bear pins....
This year, we crashed at my brother's new San Diego apartment... which was just a few miles from the convention center. CONVEIENT! That saved us at least $200, so he was the comicon hero :) Larry bought these really awesome King Kong and Godzilla movies and played a few select scenes before we headed out for breakfast Sunday morning.... ahhh, the sound of a boulder hitting a sea monster in the head ...i'll never forget. ...Never.
Also worth a mention: my brother recommended this cute local place for breakfast:
The Broken Yolk. 'Not a fan of eggs in the least, but the pancakes there were top-notch <:) It's one to keep in mind for next year, guys.
'Vegas entry coming soon....
