Things I’ve Named

So, help me out here and tell me all about the inanimate objects you’ve named so I don’t feel like a complete sociopath. Bonus points for truly geeky names. Not that we’re keeping score or anything, no.

I’ve become just like a terrible mess
Searching the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
But the crowds keep me coming back
Cheering
– “My Slumbering Heart” by Rilo Kiley

Lights Come On, Lights Go Off

That final panel represents my car’s engine light going off. Yup, I’m totally lazy clever.

Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won’t feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way

Momma Dukes Takes My Picture

Don’t hate, she’s still getting the hang of this…technology thing. Did you know they say “whiskey” in Latin American countries and “potato” in Spain when it comes to picture-taking? No? Well, now you do.

Now if she does it like this
Will you do it like that?

Trying to Send a Simple Otter E-Card

I blame the…Internet?

To rectify this situation, here’s what the e-card might’ve looked like:

I know, I know. Dorkasaur, right here…

Well I suppose we’ll all make our judgment call
We’ll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall
So we better be happy now that we’ll all go home

Letting It Do Its Thing

Actually, I have a second carbon monoxide detector plugged in elsewhere, but I’ve been waiting for the old one’s battery to just die out. Let me tell you, those warnings LIE. As of writing this post [10/13/08], some two weeks later, the thing is buried deep in my closet and still beeping. Hm, that warrants repeating: still beeping. Low battery, my ass!

Well, I’m stubborn enough now to just wait it out…

REMINDER: I’m posting TWO comics a day until the week is over. Check below for an earlier comic!

I lived in lies all my life,
And I’ve been living here for a long, long time,
And I know its been coming down a while now,
When it shows, then you get me on the dial,
But right now you’re half way around the world,
Maybe I’ll see better days, but I’m not so sure I will.
– “Art Isn’t Real” by Deer Tick

It Is Time to Rock the Vote

Well, the voter thing isn’t complete. I have to mail in a bunch of…photocopied documents. And have I done it? Nope. What have I been doing instead?

Reading comics, duh.

I kid, I kid. I be busy than a beaver with a butt of bubble bombs. (I don’t know what that means.) But it’s true, I’ve been busy.

Anyways, if you look to the right you’ll see I’ve signed up for Twitter. I don’t really plan to use it for much other than to let you readers know what’s going on here at MyLifeComics–such as when the next update might be and so forth–but do not be surprised if you see such Tweets as:

• Eating a sandwich
• Missing my sandwich
• Crying
• Cursing my PS2 to Hell and back
• Running around naked and making baa baa noises

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle…

My Scanner Hates My Existence

Yup, it’s a bitter beast. I’ve been using it for, oh, a week and some days now and I’m still not used to its mannerisms. Plus, that way it vrrhh vrrhh vrrhhs at me in the middle of the night makes me a little bit nervous. Let’s all go back to the Stone Age!

A Trip to the Montclair Book Center

It’s kind of my home-away-from-home.

I’m currently in a really grouchy mood. Why? Well, I finally got around to setting up the free printer/copier/scanner that came with Macaroni and dang-it-all, the thing is actually worse than my scanner from 1995. No joke. It won’t let me scan like I’d like to, and I’ve been playing with it for…hmm, three hours. Wow. What a good amount of time wasted. I had to actually re-draw the left side of this comic and 08/16/08’s comic because the new scanner likes to crop and cut and be annoying. What’s the purpose of that? There is no purpose. Just more work and stress for me. I’m sure I just need more practice with it to figure it out, but I’m already grouchy.

And I’m out of ice cream.

The Cover of Darkness

Yes, I’m like a ninja. Only less stylish. Hmm, that old lady looks familiar…

#374 – The Mac Guy

Granted, he did have a lot of good information hidden away beneath all those blah blah blahs. And he showcased his website dedicated to…Olympic weightlifting. Yeah, exactly. But either way, it all worked out in the end. I learned that I can type wordy words here and still open them up via Microsoft Word on my PC. So that’s a bonus. It just took forever to get that outta him. But the stretch of time gave Tara and I’s stomachs plenty reason to start growling. Grr. Arghhh. Mrow.

Question of the day: What’s my MacBook’s name? The one that gives me the best answer gets a free drawing…of anything (well, nearly anything; no dinosaur porn) their little heart desires. Drop as many suggestions as you’d like. So get to the name-calling!

So you say I’m better off here
As dry as the shoreline
In an ocean of fear
So you say I can’t be alive
Until there is nothing
When we’re meeting eyes again
