Sigh. I've started the great comic reorganization of 2006. It will take a while. It makes my OCD happy.

beauty

My mother annoys me. She needs to listen to people (not me) who know more about things than she does.

This is David Mack's cover to the upcoming White Tiger #2. It almost makes me cry.

EXPLODE

It's possible today was one of the worst days ever. I don't even want to talk about it. It involved my car breaking down on the way to Lubbock and being stranded in Seagraves (where it still is), having to have my mom come and get me to take me the rest of the way, being late for my test (which, fortunatley, they still let me take, although I don't know how well I did on it with my shattered fucking nerves), locking my keys in said car when we were coming home, and then getting in a fight with my mother over the condition of said car. I have no fucking clue what it wrong with it or how in the hell I am going to get it back home.

I cry.

roads

We got my mom about half moved on Saturday. My thanks goes to Chris and Amanda for their unwavering and absolutely wonderful assistance.

Sunday my mother and I drove to Austin for my uncle's funeral. It was your standard funeral. My cousin Shawn and I seemed to bond for some reason. We've never been close, but losing your father can change all of that.

We attempted to drive back Sunday night. Both my mom and I were exhausted. We would take hour longs while the other person slept until she got pulled over in Llano for swerving. So I drove to Brady and we got a motel room so that we wouldn't die on the road. It was best thing we could do.

Starbuck went with us. She got play with my aunt's dogs and we stopped at a park in Sterling City for about an hour we she probably had the most fun she's had in a long time.

Good trip under bad circumstances. I'm taking to day so that I don't explode and we can finish getting my mom's things from her house. Most of them, anyways.
