Well, this one is like, 6 hours from where I live, but I know a lot of Canadians read me. You might be interested to know about this Industrial Festival, in Montreal.

Xyloart sent us this Christmas card with a little Onezumi Comic in it! Looky:

Last week and this week were the weeks of limping for me since I hurt my foot. This is no big deal. I remember back in the day when I had major surgery on my foot. I was in a leg cast for 6 months and a walking cast after that. That sucked! However, last week a guy slammed me into a wall by trying to walk through me and an other guy body-blocked me from getting to the microwave at my day job . It reminded me that people don’t pay attention to their surroundings. It is obvious today that I am struggling to walk – I’m wearing obviously stupid shoes and limping bad. I guess it didn’t register. with these guys who would rather push me down the hallway. I found this interesting.

For example, back in the day when I was in a cast and on crutches I had to ride the crowded trolley to school each morning. while carrying a heavy bag of school books. There were no seats left. Sometimes, a person would give me a seat. Often, they would not. I had to stand on crutches and get squashed by business guys.

I noticed that when I had a larger cast, it was more likely that I would rarely be offered a seat. When I had the slightly smaller cast, I almost was never offered a seat. It hurt a lot to stand like that – my armpits got rubbed and sore from the crutches and I had marks on my back from the heavy bag. Often I was pushed off balance by the trolley and accidentally put weight on my foot when I was not supposed to. Ow. That was painful. At the time I thought people were incredible jerks.

Now I think that some people just don’t pay attention. A lot of people were very nice to me these two weeks and also back when I had my surgeries many years ago, but they weren’t always around. I have to admit it is frustrating to be in pain and slammed around by the oblivious robots.

Enough thinking. I have all the reminder I need…I am looking forward to an un-ouchy future and I think I will try to pay attention more than normal when I am out in the future just in case another person ends up in my same situation. The best part is that I can kind of walk normally now…I want to go to New Hope, PA and do some photography on the day after Christmas. If I can do it, I will be sure to post some photos for you! :D

It’s Christmas. All the shops are closed. I am busy drawing comics while drinking Cosmopolitans rather than coffee. (I am still updating the comic this week, regardless of the holiday.)

Will I see you at the Silent Hill dance? The prefect way to ring in the new year! LOLOLOLOL.
