Idle Brains

Another day ending, fading out into gray clouds and a light misty rain which the infant sunflowers in the planter on the deck appreciate. Soon I will transplant them to the side of the house, so they can grow tall and look impressive in that country sort of way.

It's good to finally have something to do again. I spent my five weeks off just sort of bumbling around, not doing much, and not looking for work because I am a super - fantastic genius to whom work comes on its own. So now I've got a gig, with deadlines and deliverables and all of that grown - up professional - style stuff which has given me something to fight off the anxious - bored heebie - jeebies that I was overcome by during the past four years or so, when my last gig ran out of things to do but kept paying me. Some might think that's a fine situation. Trust me, it's not, especially if you're a super - fantastic genius. Idle brains are the devil's testicles.

So, the weekend rolls in, welcome! Some errands: I get to visit Johannes to get a new cassette for the Street Machine, and I get a haircut to return me to stunning handsomitude. I'm so excited I can barely stand up.

And now: a comic for you. It might be the first in a series. It might not. That's what's so wonderful about Astonished Head: you never know what you're going to get. If anything!
