I don’t know what was up with February, but I drew a lot less than I have in the previous few months. I don’t know, February is always a weird bummer. It’s dark and cold and rainy and I mostly just want to stay inside, sleep, and watch Parks and Rec for the thousandth time. But I did some stuff worth sharing!

I am a hot mess. It’s a lifelong chronic affliction. Remember that, it will be relevant later.

I just rewatched Gilmore Girls, including A Year in the Life. People are always surprised to learn that I love that show - a feelgood small town mother daughter drama is not my usual thing - but I love it.

So, yeah, Gilmore Girls is a fantasy fairy tale and I love it.

I feel like January is the “first pancake” of the New Year’s resolutions timeline. It’s always a disaster. You should know going in that it’s going to be a disaster. But you have to get it out of the way so you can get to the good second pancake. So you make your messed up disaster pancake, feed it to the dog, and move on to the next one. Or you don’t get pancakes. And who wants to live in a world without pancakes? Not me, thats for sure!
