i don’t don’t know if you’ve ever played parappa the rapper, but if you have than you’ll understand exactly the complicated tangle of sensations implied when i say that i’ve got the soundtrack stuck in my head. on the one hand, it’s deliriously addictive. and on the other hand, it’s deleriously addictive. what a quandary!

you know what? gabe is, quite simply, the man. as a sort of thank you for the design i did for penny arcade, he’s drawn me. it’s amazing. you can see the full-color version of this masterpiece here, and check out a black and white version at gamespy’s daily victim for yesterday. i have to admit, i’m tickled pink - my favorite line from the victim commentary is “I did not come from outer space to mate with you“. i’m going to have to find somewhere more permanent to link to that, but for now, check it out and share in my glee.

i’m heading into manhattan shortly to meet up with gundam and spencer. we’re going to do the shopping thing for a bit, and then i’m returning to crooklyn to get ready for albion tonight. jim and i are venturing out again, finally, so that should be fun.
