Less than 12 hours...

Nervousness abounds.

I'm snapping at customers left and right.

Can't concentrate on what I'm doing.

Had my last REGULAR meal for the rest of forever about 10 minutes ago, a Wendy's Mandarin Orange Chicken Salad. Why? Because I wanted to say farewell to my nemesis The Salad, and I wanted to do it in a way I had always wondered about but never dared explore. I mean really now, WHAT TYPE OF PERSON putes fruit on their salad???

Now I know. It's the same type of person who enjoys cherries and appricots in their thanksgiving stuffing.

BLEAGH!

So my final meal was kind of a bust. Oh well... on to a new lifestyle! On to a world where an ounce of lean beef wrapped in bacon served with two spears of asparagus is a full-fledged MEAL! A world where the Suggested Serving Size on any packaging will be MORE THAN ENOUGH to feed me! A world where an 88-cent Swanson TV Dinner is a FEAST!

Excited.

Nervous.

Anxious.

HOKEY SMOKES!!!

BRANDON GRAHAM IS COMING TO THE EMERALD CITY COMIC CON!!!

Who the frig is Brandon Graham?

He's the acclaimed artist of such independant projects as "October Yen" and "King City", some go so far as to call him the next Warren Ellis. But none of that really matters to me. The reason I'm stoked to see him here is because I was one of those people who knew him "Way Back When"! Like, when he was a punk-ass teenager drawing metalic penises on the backs of newspaper machines!

He better still have the Kingdom Come comics I loaned him back in '96! I'll be sure to bring his brother's Lone Wolf & Cub...

And if YOU are reading this (yes YOU know who YOU are), there is an EXCELLENT chance that if you come to the convention you will see a pudgy Bobba Fett motionlessly staring at you, breathing heavilly as the wet stain on the front of his jumpsuit grows larger and colder with each passing moment.

***EDIT*** Been reading up, seems Brandon has Cancer :(
