Some Shit I’ve Been Doing
Ohhhhh man. It is possible that I stretched myself a little too thin this fall. However, it was worth it. I LOVE COMICS. Comics are better than people. Which means I am still totally digging my Div III. Spring semester? BRING IT ON.
(I do hope that during the spring I will have slightly less going on, so that I can devote a greater percentage of my time to Burn Book. This image makes the Slut issue look like an afterthought!)
ALSO: The Daily Cross Hatch recently did a post about the Best Comics of 2009. I added my two cents, by listing five of my favorites and saying a few words about each. Check it out.

Hey Athena -
Very impressive gallery of accomplishments.
I’d love to be able to click on the pieces and link to the originals.
…in your spare time.

This page serves as a guilt trip for the rest of us. I for one am very proud of you, and letting your accomplishments this year serve as a goal/aspiration for my own art goals… sorry that sounds so corny, but it’s true, you are awesome. (BTW don’t forget to add all the domestic shit we do EVERY DAY… it’s boring but cooking, laundry, cleaning takes up a LOT of time.) Also:
-searching Craig’sList for pugs
-group readings of amazing literature
-Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami
-Alice in Wonderland
-themed parties (dinosaurs, office, Halloween, Decade Dance)
Whew! We get it all done. One more semester!

Some things I have done over the last 3 1/2 months:
-Read approximately 1/4 of assigned readings.
-Wrote approximately 40 pages of bullshit essays.
-Watched seasons 1, 2 & 3 of The OC with Hannah.
-Watched seasons 1 & 2 of Gossip Girl with Hannah. Twice.
-Decided to go to Europe. With Hannah.
-Made a shoe out of wire.
Clearly you are the better daughter.
SEE YOU IN LESS THAN 8 HOURS. FUCK YEAH.

Dad: Thanks! But I don’t want to share links to all of these projects online. I can assure you that everything I make is AWESOME, though. And you can read any of my papers and stuff if you want.
Hannah: Dude, do NOT have a guilt trip over me. You are one of the hardest-working Hampshire students I know. And you’re right, all that fucking house-cleaning totally adds up. And the cooking too. Which is why I was living on canned beans and tortillas (which set off smoke alarms…) by the end of the semester. Oh, and our theme parties RULE. We need to have a bunch during the spring. And bring in some new faces, too. (Boy faces???)
Dylan: Oh, I could make you an avatar. No guarantees it will be something you’d LIKE, though. Maybe that’s a good project to work on during your visit! Wow, so soon! Have fun packing up your London life!
Phoebe: Mmm, they still like you more. It doesn’t matter how many pages of comics I finish. I’m still a raging bitch! Then again, you’re a princess. But at least you like wrapping presents.
Chris: D’aw.
