Calling in sick [of work].

Calling out of work the past two days was oh-so-nice. Friday we played around the house and went for ice cream. We wanted to have a 'stay up all night' kind of party and draw and write but I was totally not feeling inspired. Go figure. So rain-check on that. We ended up watching 'Steamboy', directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. I've seen it once before, and was reminded of how much I love it. Otomo delivers. Yesterday we went on a little road trip to the beach. We went to a couple of bike shops, since we're looking to build ourselves some bikes. We also went to a comic book store, which ended up being somewhat disappointing. It was more of a 'Super Hero' store, which is okay but they didn't have anything I was looking for. Their website was quite misleading. . .Man, I'm jonesing for some new comics. We walked on the beach for an hour or so, playing with all the little sand-digging creatures. There was one snail-like creature that lived in a cone shell who slimed my finger. Gah-ross. Then it was back home to watch movies: 'American Psycho' and part of 'Tron'.It was a wonderful break from everything. Back to the real world today, and work. This week the search for a new job must continue.
