it rained today. this meant that the kcra3 news team got over-excited, and wet themselves. it was the kcra3 chief lord-high supreme meterologist mark finan's day off (either that or he was out delirious in the rain with dave bender), so the substitute dirk verdoorn (aka vice-captain dirk) was wheeled in to salivate over the precipitation. everybody on the news desk got to comment, even pamela wu and her huge immovable hair (it did wobble slightly last week; that's how they knew there had been an earthquake), and Dirk recommended bundling up tonight, staying in and eating soup. Because it was raining a bit. I'm from the UK. Believe me, these Californians really are wimps when it comes to the weather. the second news item (less important to kcra3 than 'it's raining', apparently) was news of a shooting (not fatal, thankfully) in a motel today in Davis, just yards in fact from where I drew the above picture! Actually on the other side of the road there. Police are still looking for the gunman. I knew none of this of course when I was drawing, though I had overheard a few people in passing talking as if there was something to talk about, mentioning 'motel 6' and 'abandoned car'. I just sat in burger king, making use of the free refills on diet coke. and below, that was in the arboretum, and my mind was on getting more RAM. I wasn't too happy with it though. Perhaps I too need more RAM.
take me in and dry the rain

karen at pen in hand / Website (13.11.07 02:21) If you don't draw Pamela Wu and her huge immovable hair, I might have to cry. But since Cleveland Ohio is more like London than like California, where precip is concerned, no one will notice. :-) |

petescully / Website (14.11.07 01:08) i cannot draw pamela wu's block of hair, i don't have the ink for it. Similarly for other big-haired newsreaders. There are many many newsreaders in sacramento whose hairstyles could be used to shore up levees in the event of flooding. Mark Finan's barnet, with its unseen-to-cameras gaping breach, could not, sadly. But Dave Bender's hair could, for certain. For non-sacramentans (in fact, anyone who doesn't live in my house) this will mean nothing |
