Just so you know: I just took a swig of coffee that tasted like wet dog. Yum!

    Yesterday, I had my first session with my new coach/counselor/therapist (let’s call him “Bob”), and I really dug it. That is not surprising, as I love such things. One thing that I’ve learned over the years, is that the standard 50 minute session does not work for me. I was end up feeling like I’m racing the clock, since I have such a tendency to expound upon things. I think that this gentleman might well be precisely what I need at this point my life. For years now, I have really felt that seeking the aid of a skilled professional is exactly what I need -- but financial constraints of always kept me out of it. The thing that propelled my ass to get going on it was that V became concerned about my emotional state, given that we spend an hour or two every night hanging out  and talking in the hot tub, and the vast majority of stuff that has been coming out of my mouth  recently has been such a horror show. As luck would have it, she recently had neck surgery (which was surprisingly minimally invasive, and went off without a hitch), and was taking time off from work, so one morning she woke up and did some research for me to find someone who might be able to effectively bring some mad noodle skillz to my aid. In addition to these new services that I am enlisting, I do believe that I also will be looking into meditation, as quieting my crazybox would be useful.

    Bob is the first therapist that I’ve worked with who is male. Out of all the therapists that I have known a personal level, as well as a professional level, he is only the second person sporting the XY chromosomez. I like him a lot, and am hoping that together we can hack and slash our way through me tangled beanwad in order to bring about a semblance of order, and forward momentum. It is about time to get unstuck. Time’s a-wastin’

    All of the pictures that I am posting in my blog these days, come from sketches I’ve done for brainstorming sessions for work. Speaking of work: I have recently found out that my departure date has been pushed back a month or more. Now it looks like I will not be leaving until sometime in June. That makes my trip to Colorado (in order to spread my mom’s ashes) a little more tricky, since I need to make sure that it is during the summer. Perhaps I’ll end up shipping out of Africa shortly after that trip...

    I am really happy with iWeb, and though I’m sure it produces the most unsightly code, it certainly makes getting websites up and running super easy. I’m sure from a designer’s point of view, it is somewhat bland, or unsightly, or some other negative-type of thing -- but for somebody like myself, who just wants to get content up, it is a godsend. Candycartoon is now back up and running, though unfortunately, the ability to add comments is done with. Such is life... Besides— Candycartoon is more of a static archive nowadays anyway, since I consider it to be a stand-alone body of work, that is finished.  I am looking forward to producing new content For a new body of work, as well as resuming the Float-E-Cast. Right now, all of my art time is being taken up with producing stuff for work. I think that probably the only Float-E-Casts that I will post while I am still in California will be ones that I produce with a guest cohost. First on the list is me frind, Beefer.  Unfortunately, nailing her down for a specific time to do a show has proven to be immensely difficult. I guess I will have to set a deadline for myself, and if I don’t manage to get hold of her, maybe I will force one out by myself.

    As you can see, I still have yet to get comments up and running on this here blog. It is one of the limitations of iWeb. There is a workaround, but I have yet to implement it.

    Okay: off to work!
