powder the path, cross the path

Static equals no blogging, and I know I should be updating the sidebar too--here's a piece about the Belle & Sebastian comics anthology, and a few more things are coming shortly. Took a day trip up to Olympia yesterday to talk to a class at Evergreen; since they're all learning to play the ukulele, those foolish enough to stick around after it was over heard me play them "Oops! I Did It Again." Fortunately, nobody in the class asked me a question as tough as my favorite question one of Sarah Dougher's students asked me a while ago: "are you part of the old-boy network?"

Really, though, it's been Me Vs. Entropy lately. Like the ant in "The Grasshopper and the Ant," I am working diligently toward stuff I hope will be useful in the future. Like the ant in Harvey Kurtzman's version of "The Grasshopper and the Ant," I am not entirely sure what the grains I am packing away actually are.
