Sleep styles

I've been having problems lately... It's been sleep related, lack of sleep and anxiety over having to constantly clean up after everyone. I spent a few hours cleaning up after my mother-in-law's unnatural mess in the living room. She spent two weeks making a dent in a mess that would have Marc Summers in the corner crying while having a heart attack. It was bad. So has been trying to constantly clean up after everyone. 

No one wants to help. I can't really say anything about my 3 year old, he actually does try to help with some clean up. 

There is an article on Wired about three things that would help you sleep better and function better. The whole sleeping 8 eights a night is a misconception, it suppose to be ten. Also sleeping in is suppose to help with being more like Ernie and less like Bert, to paraphrase the article.

If I can, I'll be trying this tonight. Sleeping longer, getting my son in to bed sooner and then knocking my ass out so I could feel rested. My body feels like it couldn't even be used in science fiction. I don't want to snap at my boys over nothing, but my patience is nano thin right now.

I updated the publishing software to 4.25Beta from Movable Type. It has all the Action Streams and Motion stuff, I want to play around with it so I can see what can be done to integrate this into a University environment. 

I'm getting a 500 error. I don't know what that's happening. 


Update: 
The blogs works fine, it's the ACTION STREAMS AND MOTION template sets that are giving me the hassle.

Sometimes, you have to hate people. It's not out of spite, but jealousy of their style. That's my feelings on Les McClaine's Jonny Crossbones. It's a wonderful story of adventure. The only downside is that it's the reason why there haven't been more Middleman stories out. 

You might call it a rip on TinTin, but you my loyal readers would be a wrong. The only thing that it shares in common is the clear line style that Hergé made popular so many years ago. That clear line is the bees knees and this all age story makes me happy that once Dark Horse collects this, I can be proud to show on my shelf next to the Middleman series that I have in my collection. 

Of course there is a lot of similarity to Hergé's TinTin in terms of the lettering. Lots and lots.

Of course it helps a lot that his Gretchen Fiveash looks a lot like my wife that it makes me like the comic even more. 

Read Jonny Crossbones, and when it comes out in a dead tree edition, purchase it, incase you missed the second chapter of the story. Since Les McClaine's deal says that he has to keep one month up at a time except for the first chapter of the story, we miss things if we start up late. 

Every guy gets like this...

Especially when they have to wait those fucking three LONGEST minutes known to man. I've seen non-smokers turn to cigarettes waiting those minutes.

Warren Ellis over at Whitechapel has this thing where he spits out a character from public domain every monday and offers a remake/remodel the character. The last two were good and I was lazy, but I swear to whatever, I had something Domino Lady, I just never really drew it. This time around it's SpaceHawk. No other name. Just SpaceHawk.

Music

As I get older, I start to wonder if I should stop looking for new music. I know that sounds really odd, stop looking for music. After a while though, I start to feel like a dirty old man listening to new music. Maybe I should start sliding down the dial to truly boring people's SMOOTH JAZZ. 

I look at the people for the radio ads on television and would never believe that anyone would ever admit to owning up to listening to the station unless they were being paid. Smooth Jazz stations are stations that employers make their employers listen to so no one gets offended. 

I can't do smooth jazz. Instead, I'll have my over the ear headphones on my head listening to these new bands that come out. Being one of those well preserved guys listening to music getting long looks from people half my age trying to figure out of I'm a lecherous old man trying to get into a girls pants. I'm just there for the music.
