Getting a ticket. It's not that he's getting a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot which might be a couple hundred dollars, but he's in the gr/eats lot getting served by the parking enforcement but he was eating at Furaibo. I'm not sure how people think 1) parking in a lot that's not Furaibo's parking lot, and 2) in a handicapped spot, is alright. But 3), why didn't car next to him who parked...

There’s a couple of other shirts that just got done, and more on the way. I’m making efforts to design a few more shirts. I draw in Illustrator with no mouse or Wacom. I’m using the track pad and my index finger, and usually I do this stuff while I’m watching TV – preferably Law and Order Criminal Intent or SVU. That’s Jordan Fu who works at GR holding up the shirt. Will any females buy this shirt? I didn’t think so… This is Abby wearing the new brown cap with yellow robot. It’s SD Padres-ish, forgive me Dodger fans.

Does anyone like Suburbia by Richard Linklater as much as me? 1996, I think the word to describe a generation of kids coming of age was Slacker which was ironically, Richard Linklater's break out film title. Usually rating a 6 or a 7, a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes, and that's about it. It's a two hour film, which I keep hoping is going to come out on DVD, but it hasn't. I found a torrent and got to...
