Can you feel the heat?

So Sunday was the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, which means it's officially summer time. It also happened to coincide with father's day and pizza night. I heard some rumors on the internet that you could use unglazed quarry tiles for baking pizza instead of the usual thirty buck stone so off to the local store I go...

Well, they worked! (And I'm still here, which means I wasn't poisoned. maybe.) They cooked thoroughly and had the crispiest crust I've ever baked. Needless to say I was pleased. I only came across two minor problems 1) It was the longest day of year-I had to wait until 9PM to warm the oven because it was so flippin' hot out and my apartment already feels like a sauna.

2) The tiles didn't fit very well in the oven, in fact one cracked (I can still use it)

Anyway, I was happy, the pizza was superb, and I will be using the tiles again.

I like my coffee dark

you tool

I believe that the best way to learn something new is to just jump right in. (Splash!) Don't disregard theory, but sometimes you just have to tool around to figure something out.

So I'm learning Illustrator and it's not hard or even very difficult, it's really just a matter of taking your time.

Once I figure out how use the pen tool I'll post some "vector art".

In the meantime here is a kitty for your viewing pleasure:

welcome to the 24 and a half century

Hang on, wait a sec, okay I'm back.

I can't seem to get this daffy duck short out of my head. He's quite ridiculous and full of character flaws.

So it's the

24th and a half century and I should post

more often. Agreeeed.

I have some drawings to
