Ha! I had the opposite realization: that having no job, no money, and no friends around makes me miserable and sick, so I’m changing my circumstances to include those things.
i thought i had a realization once then i burped and it was over.
but really yah people blame things on all sorts of stuff and it sucks but i was always told blaming myself was as useless as a taking a rocking chair for a walk.
i don’t what the second one means but the two counter-statements always seem to be battling for my sanity.
WHOA, Whoa, whoa! Stop right there! Deep introspection that leads to you solving all your problems leads to me having to put up with a lot of crappy comics about happy little elf-girls. Nothing that is wrong is your fault. It’s ALLLLLLL due to stuff you can’t control. It’s not your fault, it never was, and it never will be. Now about those cookies…. mmmmm…. cookies….
-when your tiny left arm craves cookies, I think that’s called diabetes.
-Julia is not only one of the funniest people on the planet, but she is the master of subtlety. The change in ma from concerned parent to the consternation she shows in the last panel is genius, Genius!
-I wonder if NY State will get a redesign based on Julia’s realization instead of the heart-ripping meany one?
delurking to say:
owning your crap, dealing with problems head on?
soooo much easier when you like the general way your life is. ie, where you’re living, who you’re fucking, and who your friends are. cuz then you dont know if they are problems or just architecture.
I just need to clarify, I am not that other michael. I responded first. I guess from now on, I shall refer to myself as sully, if that’s okay, or anyone cares.
I lived in the Mission and then moved to Brooklyn. The pizza was good, but everything else was dirty, smelly, rat infested, cockroached, bedbugged-sucky. NYC is dog shitted and generally unpleasant. Do yourself a favor and move back to SF–which ain’t perfect but is pretty nice.
Or heck, if you want nice (people, place, general attitude) move to Portland or Seattle.
NYC is suffering from a long term bad case of the nasties. Bed-stye my eye.
You cannot make up for long term structural problems in a place with just a good attitude.

My elbow craves cookies from time to time too.

Well, to be fair, architecture CAN make you miserable, especially if chunks of it fall on you.
May 29th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Or if the architecture includes rooms that are shaped like trapezoids…..because it’s enough to drive a person insane.
My cousin saw a show on it once….so my sources are totally valid.

No preaching from me. All I’ll say is, “Well done, J.”
May 29th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
A place CAN make you miserable, don’t throw that concept away outright.

DC sucks too, not just NYC

But right after that I said “don’t worry, everyone blames external stuff for their misery! I do it too! we all do it. It’s impossible not to, etc.!”
what i should have said, when I noticed you being insecure about that comment was: “FACED!”

I love the really long “fuck” in panel two.
May 29th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Yeah, Panel #2 is one of the best stand alone panels ever.
May 29th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
so you really only answered your mom’s last question.
May 29th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Bah, you know SF is better than NY any day.
May 29th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
hahah, “Own your crap”… Your mom rocks.
May 30th, 2008 at 8:13 am
actually, I didn’t answer any of the questions. that’s the joke.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Wait, you were joking? What the heck? I thought this biodocumentary-slash-memoir. Comedy sucks.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Meanwhile, I’d just like everyone to start practicing Fung Shuart - that’s farting in the right place, at the right time, and from the right position.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I want cookies!

It isn’t all internal, New York really does suck.
I lived in the Mission and then moved to Brooklyn. The pizza was good, but everything else was dirty, smelly, rat infested, cockroached, bedbugged-sucky. NYC is dog shitted and generally unpleasant. Do yourself a favor and move back to SF–which ain’t perfect but is pretty nice.

“tiny mind being blown”… funniest thing so far.
and actually, it’s Portland that rules.
