Lilactose

Cleaned up a bit before I have the kids tomorrow night, got groceries, made tacos, and made my NCAA men's basketball picks for three different tournaments. Of course, each one came out a little different, so I have a better chance of winning one, but I didn't get stupid. Not too many upsets, certainly no 16 seed picks. Should be fun, as usual.

All I wrote was one day's worth (Day Two) of the 30 day continuity for Phantomcat, a proposed online strip I want to do for fun. Full of puns and word combos; I'm not really planning it out too much, though who knows, I may want to give it a bit more structure.

Listened to Daft Punk's new one, HUMAN AFTER ALL, and I didn't think it rocked quite hard enough for my taste, but I liked it. A solid B. Kaiser Chiefs' EMPLOYMENT worked better for me--really strong songs with more range than I was expecting. Not that it all worked, but I admired the stretch.

Off to read a bit and then sleep, maybe finish BUDDY DOES SEATTLE.

Wore a blue dress shirt with no undershirt today--I hate that feeling. Never again. Also, the guy who sits next to me had the same outfit--royal blue shirt, black slacks--so we had to endure that "did you call each other to plan your outfits" shit. Sounds like, at my office, OFFICE SPACE has become the new FLETCH--supplying otherwise unfunny people with handy lines they can use every day to elicit dutiful chuckles. "Hey, Peter...whaaaat's happening...?"
