I want to work on my Dr. Horrible pop-ups, but my eyes are so tired. :(
Lame! That’s the whole reason I follow =)
Haha, I will post some more pages when they are up to my standards! I will for sure have something by Tuesday, I should think. Maybe even tomorrow.
Take your time. Nothing could be worse than a flubbed NPH. Ho hum.
Meh.

Joseph: I'm finally busy.
Joseph's Creativity: Have you considered another Today Terrific?
Joseph: Not really. Maybe. I need to meet more artists.
Joseph's Creativity: You really should work on your own drawing.
Joseph: That's true, i should. Hum. Maybe tomorrow?
Joseph's Creativity: Maybe.
I’m still alive! How?
Sometimes, when I talk to teenagers, I can only think of really obnoxious things to say, like “Your friend is really named that? How pretentious.” Call it a problem for my generation. Or maybe it’s just my problem.

Hello World Zine #2 Looking for Submissions! →
Dear friends,
Hello World is a compilation zine run by very good friend and extraordinary artist Mike Jasorka. The zine is a celebration of life through artwork, comics, essays, poetry, doodles, and indescribable moments of creativity. Mike is an old friend from college, and he and I tabled at my very first zine fest together. Getting to know the guy is almost as ecstatic as being published in...
I’m doing a massive reevaluation of my friendships, the people in my life. I’m thinking of a grand reallocation of effort, taken away from those people who require a lot of work but give little in returns, and making a larger go of befriending people who will be easy to talk to and rewarding. I hope it goes well.

Upon inspecting my fingers and palms, I’ve found three rough patches, that could most likely be cured with lotion, two warts, and what look to be cysts, almost, just extra pockets of tough flesh. Hands are disgusting.

About once a week I log into my myspace account and this is the shit I find in my inbox.
Ahaha.

Dear Hank,
My favorite cheese is probably horseradish cheddar. It melts very well, and is great on/in almost anything. However, if we’re talking just cut up and eat it cheese, I’m probably going to go with brie. Give me a nice thin cracker, a wheel of brie, and a hot pepper jam, and I’ll be a very happy person for a very long time.
Now, if you want to get crazy and discuss drywall...

Ugh. What do I post about nowadays.

Is it me, or am I the only one tired of talking about Avatar? This seems like a vaguely familiar path… Like it happened to another of James Cameron’s mega-films… Titanic anyone?
We all liked Titanic when it came out until it became overkill (or when we couldn’t stand listening to Celine Dion in our car radios anymore). People now look back at Titanic and laugh. I’m afraid...
I was out all yesterday gutting and beginning to remodel a mobile home with a friend of mine, and I came home to three new followers. Apparently I should do physical labor more often.
Hello all! I’ll get to the interesting and entertaining posts soon, but for now, I have to pick up new sewing needles from the local vacuum/sewing machine repair shop.

dancingwithpostcards asked: Hey hey! Don't discriminate. Us girls so our fair share of hitting.
But. This isn't anonymous.
Ehh. Screw it. *waggles eyebrows* How you doin'?

Hollywood Exec: Joseph, now we have an interesting proposition for you.
Joseph: Shoot.
Hollywood Exec: We want to make a movie with you, but here's where it gets SUPER wacky; we want to cast it with all the actors and actresses that you don't like.
Joseph: Wild, sounds like a movie I'd hate.
Hollywood Exec: Probably, but we need your direction. So hit me, I'll get on the phones.
Joseph: Fair enough. OK! Let's see, Jessica Alba, Jaime Foxx, Jessica Beil, don't like any of them. George Lopez, that guy is really awful. Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, I don't know how much further I can go. I'll round it off with Queen Latifah.
Hollywood Exec: Ah. I see. We have a problem.
Joseph: What's that?
Hollywood Exec: A movie, um, uh, Valentine's Day, just came out with that exact cast.
Joseph: Well, what do we do now, then?
Hollywood Exec: Sorry man. That's already happening. So, hey, great meeting you, say hi to your wife and kids, I'll be in touch if I need you. Buh-bye.
I've noticed
Since Tumblarity has gone away, I hardly ever get likes on my posts. Am I just making lower quality posts, or is the drive to like things gone?
I hope it’s the second one!

isatsan:
Thank you so much, Mary Carmichael. This is exactly the stuff I rant about because the science isn’t conclusive. I think it’s a general mindset in this country to exaggerate and also to stick one’s nose where it doesn’t belong. Our bodies aren’t public property!
Ahaha! That’s fantastic!
It’s rainy
I spent about an hour and half at the library trying to print 14 pages
Oh, I’m out of ink in my printer
I broke my last sewing machine needle
I did not sleep well
I forgot to write down numerous addresses

Also, have we all seen trailers for this new Mel Gibson movie? Who’s he trying to fool with that silly sounding accent? I probably won’t see the movie just because of that.
Ho hum.
Joseph's Creativity: Hey, remember like a week and a half ago when you felt inspired? That was cool.
Joseph: Still do, man.
Joseph's Creativity: Oh, really? What have you been doing?
Joseph: I finished a short story, I finished a sweatshirt, started a cardigan, wrote some poetry, and sent out a few submissions. I'm in good shape over here.
Joseph's Creativity: Why don't I ever know about this stuff?
Joseph: Because I need an antagonist, and lately, you've been him. Sorry I've been hiding it from you. I am using you, though, a lot.
Joseph's Creativity: I feel so used. I feel so happy!
Joseph: Hooray!

The Most Important Part in Picking a Webhost
As many of you know, a few months back I bought and kicked off Joseph Carlough dot Com. It’s a place to see news of me, news of my goings-on, and links to all my blogs, my Etsy, and a gallery of things I’ve done (If I ever get off my ass and do it, already). It allowed me to have a nifty email (joseph@josephcarlough.com) and has a contact box so people can email me straight from the...
I spent an hour and a half in a three foot crawlspace yesterday, hammering 4-6 nails each into about 8 new joists with a 1lb sledgehammer. Check out that handyman speech. I also moved a lot of lumber and 4 concrete posts.
Needless to say, my forearm is on fire, as are my shoulders, my neck, my back, my thighs, my ankles, my wrists, and just everything. It’s a nice burn, though.
Yesterday,...
