Are YOU game?

Dang hell if the weather ain't all screwy. 26 and humid one day, 6 degrees the next..rain, sun, rain blah blee blah blee..it's making me sick. Literally. Damn throat and ears.

Head office has sent a dvd of Al Gore's film so I guess I will be seeing it. We were supposed to take time off work to watch it but no one here is game so I'll just take it home. Watta bunch of peens, not wanting to lose precious work time.

I stayed home yesterday with plans to nurse my sore throat and maybe do a little drawing but I ended up working somehow. I had to recreate a bitmapped logo for T. He's lucky he's cute or I'd have charged for my time!

One thing I won't charge for though, because it's for a good cause and so sporting of the people requesting it, is some drawing I have to do. On saturday, a friend and I bought this great box set of prints. We split the cost and the prints and in a tragic turn of events, she lost hers before the night was through. It was made by a collective here in Montreal called the YPF. They are swell. Now I think they are even more swell because I emailed them the story and asked if they maybe had some extra prints or something they could donate to my friend for her loss. They got back to me and said yes, if I would draw a group portrait of what I think they all look like. Isn't that right on?

I think so. I'm even going to do 2 of them becuse it's so game. This is a word I have picked up from T and I can't stop using it now- Game. I'm game, your game, we're all game. Aren't we?

Soon, I will post my offerings to the YPF for the cause of my friends bad luck. Incidentally, she lost all her prints in the same bar that I lost my favourite black scarf in. A tiny bar where we hardly move around and things just effing disapear. Somewhere, someone is wearing a black scarf and looking at their newly aquired prints. I hope they are game.
