Inktober Day 5. Some Faces And Some Class Notes.

My posting speed on these is about to slow down DRAMATICALLY because I’ll be studying for my licensure exam next month. So, read, re-read and leave comments.

The first page of my Naruto fancomic. From here, I’ll post the comic in two-page batches as I complete them.

I've been listening to the audiobook of "The Killer of Little Shepherds: A True Crime Story and the Birth of Forensic Science" by Douglas Starr.

It's the case of a French serial killer in the late 1800s, Joseph Vascher, and the development of early forensic science by Alexandre Lacassagne.

Lacassagne worked in Lyon, France, where the morgue was housed on a barge in the Rhône. The reasoning was that this would keep the stench away from the city and it was close to the two largest sources of corpses -- the hospital and the river itself. However, there were problems.

Joseph was a problem child...

The Hamsa is a symbol of protection, popular in the Middle East and North Africa, in Jewish, Muslim, and Christian groups.

Fom the dowel to the bottom of the fringe it is 14 inches long, the tapestry itself is roughly 9 inches long and 7 inches wide. The dowel is 12 inches.

currently sick

dreamed that me and two girls that I went to middle school with were recording a song, reading the lyrics from a dark blue book with glowing white letters. don't remember the lyrics.

dreamed that there was a huge block party going on in my neighborhood, with tents set up all over and one of those janky ferris wheels. I decided that I wanted a milkshake and a burger. Every restaurant that I went to was getting held up by a delusional man with a shotgun. Every single one. Same guy, too. I'd leave and go to the next restaurant and he'd have moved on to hold that store up. I just really wanted a milkshake.

Part of some sort of giant videogame world. Built like one of those marble tunnel toys. Riding the marble down a spiral slide. Giant monster crushing the marble tunnel world. Water is rising faster.

I keep sleeping through the curtains falling out of the window frame and on top of me.

Reaching that point in working on a piece where I lose any sense of reality and my brain just chants "I AM A GENIUS I AM A GOD" over and over. Well, working in customer service until 11:30 pm will certainly beat down that overblown sense of confidence. Off to work!
