Lao Comics | Online Comic Book

I don’t know what happened to my site recently, as I couldn’t access most of it. But, someway and somehow I found a way to fix it. It might have been hacked or had an online virus.

I can’t believe I am so lazy. I am paying Dreamhost for this site and I am not doing shit with it! I haven’t posted anything since last September! My comic book, oh my comic book, I probably will never get it completed. Heck, I haven’t even practice my drawing skills in a year. I need to do something!

I recently crashed on my bike, a Trek 7200, and my knee is all torn up. I will be stuck indoors for a few weeks and I want to start working on my blog again. I actually enjoy doing this when I am not too fucking lazy. So, here’s hoping for an active second half to 2010. I’m back, baby! I’m back!

I was talking to a co-employee about our apartments. I heard from him that you can get a decent apartment for just a little bit more than I was paying, which was $330. Keep in mind, the cost of living in Lincoln, Nebraska is a lot cheaper than places like New York City. That put the thought of moving into my head. The place I was living in was a small studio apartment, about 393 square feet.It was built in the late 1800′s. I had been living there for almost 10 years and realized I was getting very complacent in my life. The place was small and cramp with all the things I had been accumulating since I had been living there. I needed to make a change! I loved the location of it, but that was it.

Location of the apartments

I made my mind up that I was moving. I looked through apartment classified ads and craigslist daily. I wanted a place that was at the most 12 blocks (preferably 9) from where I work. It also had to be at th most 2 blocks north of it because I lived 9 blocks north and wanted a change of scenery. I had a bunch of places written down. The irony of all this work was that the place I would eventually get, I saw while biking passed it. My max budget at first was $360, it crept up to $375, $400, $420, $450 then back down to $420. I wanted either a 1 or 2 bedroom that would fit into my price range. I did this for more than a month.

My bike when it was brand new!

On August 5th I rode my bike around the area that I wanted to rent from. Since they don’t have prices on the for rent signs, I had to get a good look of all the places. If I liked it, I would write the phone number and address down. I did a grid pattern. My workplace was on 17th st, so I looked west to east from 10th st to 27th st and north to south from 2 blocks north to 6 blocks south to a major street called South St. I covered most of that area on that day and had to stop because it was getting too dark to see any good details of the “For Rent” places. Not done yet, read the rest…

Also, large and in charge… Big fish in a small pond… Huge dick in a small vagina… You know the saying! Yes, I finally got my internet back. Windstream (my phone provider) sent someone over and sorted out my problems. It turns out that the wires got mixed up.

I’ve been working a lot and don’t have that much energy and time for this blog, but that’s about to change. I have an inspiration now. I’ve just moved into a new place! I had lived in my old studio apartment since late September in 1999. I decided to move out before the 10th anniversary. The place I just moved into is a hundred times better and I am not even exaggerating. I post pictures of it later.

Oh, yeah. I did make this blog to show my comic book I’ve been too lazy to work and improve on my drawing skills. That’s going to be different. I live in a much bigger place now and it won’t feel so crowed anymore.

Welcome back me, Phet!

I just got back from talking to the human resource manager that interviewed me for the job. I thought orientation would happen today, but it’s actually tomorrow. It’s at the home office for the company, which is 3 miles from my apartment. I don’t have a car so I’m still figuring out which route to take with the bus. The difficult thing is that about 2 hours later, they want me to go back to the store where I’m suppose to work and begin my training by shadowing some other workers. I’ll make it work somehow!

I am more anxious than nervous right now. This will probably be the last time I talk about anything related to work. The things I hear about what happened to other people that have done it and lost their jobs. I’m trying to establish an online comic book, so being anonymous is not my plan. I’ll be responsible for what I say and I posted my bio on this site. It’ll be nothing but trouble, but I’m just excited and wanted to say something.

Peace, I’ll be back.

I was browsing Live Journal and stumble upon a great art site. It’s a community website where amateur artist post their work. A lot of it is really good and the site is frequently updated. The layout of it is really nice, a lot of good art with very little clutter. I want to warn you that the site is mostly posted by Russians.

Here’s some of my favorites. Visit them for more.

I’m really struggling with the comic book. It’s taking a lot longer to polish up my art skills than I thought. I’ve always had a little bit of talent, but it’s something I’ve always neglected and taken for granted. I’ve been practicing on Gimp2, but it’s been a slow progress. My idea is to sketch my drawings on paper, scan it to my computer, then colorize and clean it up. I’m still fleshing out the main characters.

I got my main site up and running. I tried to match the design to the blog. It took me just a few hours to write everything by hand. I don’t think I will need to use a webpage building software to maintain it. I have a good understanding of html. I searched for things to put up on my site and found a load of cool widgets and games. I’ll rotate which items to display.

Anyways, the comic is coming along. Just stay tuned… Same Lao time, same Lao site.
