Where is Arms Longstrom?

Welp, a few of you have given me some choice words as to how you feel about the current delay in release of Episode 4 of The Story of Arms Longstrom. (Reese, I'm looking at you in particular.) I've got the storyboard written and all my ideas on paper. I've made it that far. I'm beat lately.

I get up early. I get home late.

Yesterday I had planned on working on the first half of the illustrations for episode 4, but my aunt was having some printer troubles, so I headed there directly from work. I got home at about 8:30pm and after a day of eating a fruit cup and water, I was starved. So I eat, check fantasy scores, watch Pokemon Diamond & Pearl and go to bed. Tonight I'll be headed back there to finally get this printer working again, so I'll not be in the studio for the umpteenth day in a row.

The good news is that I've freed my entire Saturday (sans 11:30am hockey game) of ankle-biters so I'll finally have the time it takes tol illustrate the whole episode. That'll take most of the afternoon to do. Saturday night we have a HUGE Uniontown bar crawl planned. I'm really looking towards loafing around the mean streets of Fayette county with a less-than-sober crew.

I'll sit in with Monte Lowe sometime on Sunday and get him to narrate the thing. He's not much for honoring the Sabbath day by resting, so I think it'll be relatively easy to convince him to come talk into a plastic tube for an hour or two.

In the meanwhile, Charles Holman (who happens to go WAYYYYYYY back with me) has been giving me some extremely good advice as if he were my would-be voice coach. He even went as far as to type up a rather long email, citing examples of what I need to work on and how I can improve Monte Lowe from a viewer's standpoint. This has been some excellent advice from an even more excellent friend.

Thanks again, man. Whenever you get home, hopefully we'll get some time together to work a bit more.

This has been a computerblog by the one, the fun -- Crock.

Hah, he goes sleeveless most of the time. You understand.
