TODAY'S NEWS: On Monday, I barely left the house. As much as I loved the weekend, I very much needed some decompression time. Today I was back at Big Happy Fun Time, where I'm neither surrounded by artists engaged in fascinating creative projects nor greeted by screaming fans. So yeah, it was a bit of a let-down.

One of the great things about Stumptown is that it remind me of all the projects I've got going, and how they're not just entries on the Never-Ending List Of Things To Do, but they're exciting and fun! And I want to do them! And share them with others! So I'm looking forward. I want to have comic books to sell next year, as well as a collection of columns. Plus, there are podcasts to work on! And I'll undoubtedly think of other compelling projects which will try to distract me, but I'll focus on these first. I wonder how much I can get done in a year?
