playing the drums feels a lot like playing the rhythm guitar; your right wrist is the hand counting the tempo, hence the wrist getting tired. only difference is, there is no upstroke, so you can only count with the downstroke. so in analogy to the rhythm guitar, you feel like you're playing punk music, ykno, power chords, palm muted downstrokes all the time.

concerning comics, i find i've been reading a lot more "get fuzzy" lately, hence the new link on the side. and i've added tmnt to the mix as well.

i never understood why i used to like "garfield" so much as a kid; come to think of it it's not really funny. i loved how "pearls before swine" gave like a sharp dig at garfield in one of the comic books(think it was nighthogs), where rat threatens the author by saying if his demands aren't met, he's going to read more and more lines from garfield. cracked me up.
