Sunrise again, behind my house
Summer is here! Okay, sure it's actually spring and normally feels like winter, but the temperature reached 29 degrees Celsius in Moncton which was where I was! I spent the day with my friend Colin, his sister Chandra, and her son Mikey. Mikey had gotten good reports from school and was being rewarded with a day trip where he could visit Toys 'R' Us and Pets Unlimited. I was looking for an excuse to get out of the city for the day and opted to tag along to buy some art supplies which are pretty much impossible to find around here. Colin, on the otherhand, was eager to give his new Impalla a road test.
The day was fantastic. People were out and about everywhere. The mall was full and entertaining. The salesman at the art store sold me on a set of somewhat expensive pens and I am happy he did. I got a chance to try them out on some doodles when I got home and they make nice, crisp lines. I also managed to find an ink sketchpad which solves my problem with bleeding ink. I was running out of the sketchpads that I bought in Korea and this was the first one I found here that provides and good texture for cartooning.
We broke for lunch (grand slams at Wendy's-- 1 lb. of hamburger spread over 4 patties) and then dropped in on my cousin for a visit. He's in a new house with a new baby named Hannah. She's very cute and well-behaved. The house is in a nice spot of Moncton too. It's not too far from the downtown (maybe 10 minutes walk) but it's in a quiet suburb near Jones' Lake.
It's also nice to know that Colin and Chandra haven't settled down either. They still lambaste each other savagely. Mikey is obviously used to it. It was quite entertaining to watch one set the other two up against each other. The combatants switched each time, as did the devilish provocateur.
