Today!

I am starting a new comics class today with Matt Madden.

Exciting, huh!?

I am excited.

The thing about this class is that I seriously considered not taking it because it's at the same time as American Idol AND the last season of LOST.

I am missing the last season of LOST to take a class on comics. This is serious, man! I have watched this show since the first season, and I have now watched it longer than any other show I have ever watched (mostly because it's run longer than any show I've ever watched). I have rarely missed an episode. I have scheduled things around it. Now I'm going to miss every episode through the end of April.

And I don't even have a DVR.

This must mean something!

But man my comics are going to be awesome.

There is no good substitute for an in-person chat about nothing in particular and vent about local things. The median age in my town is 43, so a lot of my in person social engagements involve talking to people in their 60s-80s with drastically different life experiences than me. The local anthropology professor and I struck up a friendship and now we religiously meet once a week just to talk. If we miss a week it feels like I'll completely pop from holding in whatever the most recent small-town insanity is.

For example, the local mortuary used to have a local TV spot that advertised they would "give you piece of mind". Which of course had me thinking about zombies...
