Sorry for the unexpected absence yesterday, kittens. I had to visit my local physician to get poked and prodded a bit. Don't worry - everything's okey doke. The medical community's initial reports of my elephantitis were wrong: it turns out that I just have really huge balls.
On that note, I can't tell you what a wonderful, fluffy feeling it is to unexpectedly miss one mere day of journal writing only to have everyone on the message board start yelling at me. Even my own guitarist has gone on record and publicly called for my replacement. You can't buy that kind of loyalty, folks.
In other news, you all may want to check out Assy McGee, a new cartoon on Adult Swim. It's a noir-ish hard-boiled cop drama in which the hero just happens to be a talking ass. Here's Assy:
I've only seen one episode, but it's pretty hysterical. You would think that a cartoon about a talking ass would just be an excuse for a bunch of fart jokes, but they really don't overdo that aspect of Assy. Sure, the occasional fart slips out, but it all depends on Assy's mood and state of mind in the context of the story. The farting is all realistically grounded in the character.
Man, that was a fun paragraph to write. Anyway, the Assy McGee/Metalocalypse combo on Sunday nights on Cartoon network is a killer one-two punch. I don't get to see much TV these days, but I recommend both programs. Anyone else seen these shows?

It's good to know you're not dead. I guess.
Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that we were all so worried and concerned and you return, greeting us with an ass cartoon.
Oh, that was a self portrait you did on your day off?
Awww...that was sweet of you.

Calling for Mike Nastri to replace me - yeah, I sure felt the concern about my well being.
If Assy McGee were here, he's shoot you all. All of you!
For the record, my call for the return of "Mike's Diary" referred to the short-lived awesomeness that was Mike Mirabella's daily (haphazardly semi-monthly) journal.
I want that back, mostly (entirely) for the accompanying (terrifying) graphic of a batshit insane Mirabella flying over... Venice, was it?
at a glance, Assy McGee looks like Ally McBeal.
am i referring to the words or the characters? YOU DECIDE.
