Daily Kurt: Day #2

So I'm fitting this in just a half hour before the end of day two. Been a quick yet long day. After leaving work at 5am I got home to set up my air mattress, throw on sheets, shower and pass out, only to wake up sweating to death in an apparently record setting heatwave.

Then I quick-stepped to work, melting in jeans and a button up shirt through Harlem with its open hydrants and slew of kids making their way to the skate park at 145th & Riverside. No time to go get a fan, ugh. Then the trains took twice as long as they did before to get me down to 34th.

But the first day of my new shift went okay, although I feel the tendency to go postal a bit more. I fear what the stress of the tail end of day shift and the start of night shift will do to my work demeanor. At least it's overly air conditioned at the Daily News.

Inbetween work I spent some time reblogging stuff on my tumblr 'BRAIN THRUST', which seems to be paying off. I'm gaing new followers every day and it seems a handful of people read day one of this blog, so thank you for reading! It's hard to build an audience on the internet when you're not a topless underage girl.

I tacked on a few more paragraphs onto the latest Tower of Brahma chapter, but still have a bit to go. I'm anxious to start on a new script for what will be either a comic or (hopefully) an animated music video. Get to that on my days off. Just remembered that Starbucks now offers free wifi so guess where I'll be on my days off? Starbucks on 9th & 2nd Ave, my fav one of course.

As I got out of work I saw a slew of girls all dressed up in ridiculous prom dresses or whatever, and I guess it's because Lady Gaga was performing at MSG tonight. It just reminds me that my ex fucked her DJ who was a published writer. I try not to let that get to me, but ti does. Mainly for the fact that I'm still struggling to have my stuff read online for free.

But it's coming together. Boston is up in Northhampton loving his new job as a Park Ranger, getting writing done, and has fallen in love (again) already. I also found out that Grant Morrison's documentary will be premiering at New York Comicon so now I don't feel so bad not going to San Diego with Reilly now.

Tomorrow should be easier and more productive, and then it's two days off where I'll be working all day and doing up some Video Games & Beer with Stu Horvath. If I can I might try and check out the new Midtown Comics (ironically in the Financial District) and maybe grab some stuff from storage.

I'll also try and get back to daily Improv Writing where I take two suggestions and craft a short story around them. It was a great writing exercise and a fun way to involve the audience (you guys) more.

Thanks for checking up on me. Now I'm off to do some stuff I can't talk about on here before I pass out.

Night!
