Tear-Stained Makeup pg.18

Yikes. Yesterday was one of those days. I lost a photoshop file I was working on, my printer ran out of ink, and my coffee tasted like soap. S'ok. I'll be alright. I got a three day weekend coming up.

I'm currently reading "Shadowlands", by Kim Deitch. I've never been all that interested in Deitch. This book is changing that fast. It's insane and gorgeous. Freaks abounds. I only wish Carl could be so crazy. Speaking of which, after I finish the chapter I'm working on, I'll be done with the layouts I made last August. I've been thinking long and hard about layouts and have decided to stop doing them. I generally know what's going to happen but I don't want to nail it down. Hell I may even throw what's supposed to happen out the window. This chapter ends with endless possibilities. I'd rather just do whatever I feel like, maybe make mini-stories within the main story. Get really out there. We'll see. It might test my own patience. I'm just tired of thinking of CLS as one story that's done in my brain. You can become a slave to that and get bored too easily. Tear-Stained wanders aimlessly, why shouldn't Carl? I think it's in my nature to annihilate narrative structure anywhere I go. Structure be damned. Intuition and sweaty inspiration will win the day.
