A Sleeping Bloom

Bloom, a friend of mine, had this picture taken of him. I liked it a lot and wanted to make it more... illustrated, I guess. It's now available as a t-shirt.

Please, help. Candy High is dangerous.

Please, help. The summer pixies are eating me alive.

Please, help. I'm only super sometimes.

Finally, my superpowers are again useful.

This is a remix of a friends work. I just loved the pieces independent of each other and wanted them to be a congruent image. The main image is done in pastels and I unfortunately don't do it justice in the PC rendering. She also did the intricate line work in the background. simply beautiful.

Please, help. I've found my own, "Measure of Comfort."

I think I saw the first preview for this movie when I went to see "The Dark Knight" this summer. Now, I'm not into Bond films (most action movies are ridiculous to me because they're mostly just explosions and fighting) so when I saw the title of this one I just died laughing. I couldn't stop. The whole theatre was quietly sitting in awe as the silhouette of Bond comes over the hill carrying what looks like a sniper rifle. And I'm dying in one of the first or second rows. The title sounds so technological and tough but is really soooo cheezy.

Of all the creepy things... do not let your imagination wander on this one

90 year old placed in care after decaying siblings found in home

Posted Mon Nov 10, 2008 8:14pm AEDT

The decaying remains of three siblings have been found in the Chicago home of their 90-year-old sister, according to US media reports.

Police found the bodies after being contacted by a city social worker who knew the woman, Margaret Bernstorff, the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper reported.

Elaine Bernstorff died in her 60s sometime in the 1970s, while another sister, Anita, died in May aged 98. A brother, Frank, died in 2003, aged 83.

All three died of natural causes, according to an official with the Cook County Examiner's Office, which examined the remains Saturday.

The bodies, some covered with blankets, were found Friday in different rooms of the Victorian-era house in the upscale Chicago suburb of Evanston.

Investigators continued to probe how the frail nonagenarian could have kept the bodies at home, but no charges were filed.

Neighbours of Margaret Bernstorff knew she was a pack rat, but none imagined that along with the old furniture and stacks of old newspapers, she was storing the three decaying bodies of her siblings.

"I'm shocked. I think we're all shocked," Evanston contractor Allan Redmond, who had become friendly with Ms Bernstorff after doing repairs on her home, said.

"A few weeks ago I asked her about her sister [Anita] because it had been a long time since I'd seen her. She said that her sister was sick and upstairs, but I couldn't have imagined something like this."

The Bernstorff family had lived in the historic Evanston neighbourhood since the 1960s, when Margaret's father, Frank, was an assistant professor of German studies at Northwestern University.

Frank Bernstorff died in 1966 and his wife, Lilian, died eight years later.

The home has since been occupied by all four of their children at different times, police said.

Some neighbours occasionally checked in on Ms Bernstorff, bringing food and groceries the woman did not always warmly accept.

"She could be stubborn and she didn't take help a lot of the time," Mr Redmond said.

The 90-year-old has been placed in a senior care facility.

Please, help. All my milk has been jugged.

While not totally true (they haven't got /all/ of my milk, (I making more by the second)) I do feel more and more drained by my 9-5. Anybody could do it. If they could get a monkey trained they could have someone working for peanuts, literally. It's just that it's easier to train humans (we did evolve for nothing, you know).

Actually, this comic has more like a compare/contrast with the last one. I may not be hip but at least my life can't be interchanged with someone else's; without some difficulty, anyway.

Please, help. I have a problem fitting into those round holes.

I think it's mainly that I don't try. I have a hard time figuring out what "hip" is. And then I see things that are "in" & I just think it's gross. So that sort of contributes to the whole not-wanting-to-figure-it-out thing. Paisley is in again this year. Also plaid. So I've noticed but it's like what? Was it ever gone? I thought Eddie Vedder made that possible.

Please, help. Almost all the mud's been slung.
