I turned 40 today.
It’s a major milestone on my way through life to the inevitable, yet long-off destination of rejoining the circle of life and becoming worm food.
A morbid thought, to be sure. Especially upon the anniversary of one’s birth, though my sense of humor does run a little more toward the aberrant, as can be seen in both my Deadjournal entries as well as my LiveJournal postings.
I reported in my last entry that I had been experiencing computer problems and indeed, I had thought my computer had reached a point far closer to Death’s door than I, but it turns out that my fears of a moribund motherboard, a graphics card giving up the ghost and a PCI-X port passing into PC paradise were unfounded. No, instead, it turned out that the memory simply had to be removed and re-seated…
So apparently, Alzheimer’s disease is conspicuously curable in computers by the simple removal and replacement of the malfunctioning memory module.
Ah, alliteration. I adore your alluring appearance upon the asphalt of my attention. An Apician apparatus alluding to no affront against anyone, attempting only artful avocation in amusement; the articulation of an Anglish ancestor. I am aroused by your amaranthine appearance, aggrivated by your anointed acclaim, angered by the awkward arduousness of your application. I am ambivalent before your awesome approbation. Allow this asinine advocate of your ambrosial arride to accoy your agony. Abide my affection and accommodate my adulation.
But don’t call me, “A.”
Oh, and before I forget. I recently acquired a program called ComiPo!, which is a system by which a person such as myself with absolutely no artistic ability whatsoever (damnit, the alliteration is attempting to access my acumen again!), to create what is in effect, Japanese style manga comics.
I really like manga and its unusual, appearance. There’s a sophisticated simplicity to the art style that makes it sastisfying to see… (God Dammit!) And now, I have the capacity to make rudimentary and relatively revolting (is there an “off” button for alliteration?) comics which allow me to express my unusual and non-sequitur form of humor in a graphical medium.
If you’re interested in seeing the product of my wacked-out imagination, you can find the comics here, indexed by “volume,” though in no way are they in any consistent form. I just threw things together to amuse myself, and if you are also amused, which I hope you are, you can let me know either at my usual, unstated (as this is a public forum) email address or at jador@satiricalrogue.com. Which you can either cut-and-paste into your email program, or click on the link. Or write it on the back of a self-addressed, stamped envelope which you can then place upside-down in the oven and crank the heat up to 450° Farenheit. Though I would not advise the latter of these options.
Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of my day off. I’ll probably just make some more comics or something…
