Not Ready for Sat Cartoons

I hope you all had a good holiday Thursday.

Here's a few cartoons that are more girly than trans....

On the slim strip of land known as the Outer Banks, there is a (minor) road that parallels the ocean beach, and a major road that parallels that a couple of tenths of a mile further west. 

Our hotel faced the beach on one side and the minor road on the other.  A couple of blocks south along the minor road brought us to the restaurant.  Sidewalks are iffy but traffic is light.

We got to the restaurant and it was mostly empty.  We were greeted and put at a table that seemed to be in the "no service section."  Eventually a waitress came by and apologised profusely for making us wait so long ~ there was a mess-up and no-one was assigned.  I asked her if we get our meals for free because we had to wait and she said no but we could have a free appetizer, which was fine with me.

Dinner was good, the restaurant continued to be lightly used although more people came in as we ate.  I also continued to joke with the waitress ~ for instance, I mentioned that I didn't expect this much traffic but had to point out that Traffic was all they were playing since we came in.  She asked if they should change the music; I said no, I love it.  It seems one of the staff put together a Steve Winwood mix CD and that's what they were playing.  A little Blind Faith followed Traffic, and some Winwood solo work after that.  I didn't hear any Spencer Davis but maybe that was before I arrived.  I did hear "Low Spark of High Heel Boys" which made me smile.

I also seem to be more comfortable talking with civilians these days.  I'm sure there's a reason.

The waitress also gave us a free dessert and pointed us to their gift shop (does EVERYONE on the Outer Banks have a gift shop?) and said we were there on the right day ~ there was a ten percent discount twice a year and Labour Day was one of those days.

So we went to the gift shop and chatted with the woman there and looked at the clothes, jewelry, and other items they had.  I picked up a pair of sandals and we walked back to the hotel.

It was dark out now and I was determined to get all of my makeup off before bed that night!

Hey, It Takes Time

Even for women.  And some other makeup cartoons.  Click to enlarge.

She's fun.  That's why I read "Reply All"

It's an all-day affair for me, but she's just a teen!  C'mon!

"best?"  For me, it's just "passable."

Yup.  That's me.

I'd pay a buck for the regular

So It's NOT Just Me

I've commented before that if I went 24x7 I'd never get to work.  I'd be trying to figure out the perfect outfit every single day, and I'd keep changing until I decided on that skirt and top... the mid-length skirt and v-neck sweater.  No, the matching blouse.  No, I think a dress would be good today.  Wait... there's the staff meeting today.  The blue suit is what I want.  No, the pink suit.  No, the pink sleeveless dress and jacket.  Yes, the pink and the black patent pumps.  No, the black boots.  No, the grey boots. I think I should just go with the mid-length skirt and v-neck sweater.  No....

I Am Disorganised

I plot and plan different ways to organise myself.  I follow through ~ briefly ~ and then go back to my old ways.

When I started posting cartoons, I started putting each into folders as I used them, so I wouldn't use them more than once.

It never worked as well as I hoped.  Something like Picasa probably would help.  I really want to sort the pictures in at least two ways.  I put them into folders by strip, and then I put the ones underneath each strip in a "used" album.  But once I was "too busy"* to put them in the appropriate folder, everything fell apart.

I should have the cartoons in one big folder and flag them by strip, by whether they're CD  (or CD-ish like this one), and whether they've appeared in the blog.  I could probably come up with another half-dozen tags that would help me sort them for the blog, or my own enjoyment.

It's going to take some time to organise.  I have roughly 3000 cartoons right now, and perhaps another thousand in print that I've cut out of various sources over the years.  At least I know the printed ones were never in the blog.

As for the strip today: I need to pay attention next time Charity does my mascara.  Do I open my mouth?  Does she?  Or do both of us?

* "too busy": there's never time to do it right.  There's always time to do it over.

Alas

I was never cute.  But I sure would love to wear the style of clothing she's talking about!

It's nice to know that "real" women have dressy oh-my-god-I-can't-wear-this-outside that they'll wear around the house too.  I thought it was just me.  Oh... the strip is called Reply All.  It's pretty uneven, and I'm still not sure I love the art style, but girl strips always catch my eye.
