Work, Crow, Moon
Had another busy day, culminating in a trip to the Moon & Sixpence.
My ‘unemployment’ has been anything but the lazy layabout life I was hoping for, with all the freelance work I’ve had since my layoff in mid-January, and I continued along that path today by working on yet another project. This one for a good friend of mine for his new engineering firm, Greenlight Engineering. I built a quick "coming soon" page for him until the full website is designed… which included the logo I helped him with.
Afterwards I made a trip down to the bank (near Lloyd Mall) to deposit my gub’mint cheese, and then took the MAX back up to Hollywood district on the way to meet Kelly and some friends at the Moon & Sixpence. On the walk from the transit center I ventured into Things from Another World, a local comic book / gaming / collectibles shop. Fun place, picked up one of James O’Barr’s ‘The Crow’ set, this one featuring a female lead. Looking forward to having the time to read through it.
Afterwards I walked up to Moon & Sixpence to read, sip beers, and await the gang. As usual, had a blast there (despite a first; a rather gruff server, rather than the super-friendly serving staff I’d encountered previously). I got to meet my friend Brian’s brother, and later my brother and sister-in-law arrived. We ended up hanging out past Kelly’s bedtime, but we had a great time.
Thanks all for coming out to the pub! Hope you liked it as much as Kelly and I do. 
P.S. This post is partially prompted by my friend Miranda, who pointedly reminded me that I’ve been slacking in my blogging duties. That, and I’ve been waiting for a good reason to post. hehe.

Hehe…I was going to hassle you about your blogslackery, but I figured you were hard at work being the busiest unemployed person I know.

hehe, yeah, I’ve been a slacker about it. Stupid freelance projects. Maybe one day in the coming weeks I’ll wake up without a long list of things to do.
