Hello gentle readers,
I just got back from a Writing Center conference in Bellingham. That little bit of context probably doesn’t matter to those of you reading this, but it does set up the fact that I’m pissed at Travelocity. I don’t if you have ever had to worry about getting reimbursed for travel, but for me, I have to turn in all my receipts to the University after the trip. I had my credit card billed but the hotel I stayed at has no record of anything. All the account detials go through the website and Travelocity deletes records after the trip is over. So, I’m s-o-l. Now comes the fun part. What manner of torture can I inflict on the roaming gnome to make myself feel better? My current plan involves lighter fluid, two dozen Peeps and ceramic glue. Anyone else have any suggestions?
I regret to inform you, my loyal readers, that there will be no regular Kingdom Heights updates for about the next three weeks.
Due to a rather large illustration job that has been graciously granted to me, I’m going to have to spend approximately every waking moment of the next month working on it. But don’t think for a second that I’m complaining.
Illustration, as an activity, is like the smell of Christmas wrapping paper, warm sun, a triple-fudge sundae with peanuts and whip cream, a birthday party helium buzz, and the lightsaber duel from Empire: thoroughly enjoyable.
But you shouldn’t forget about ol’ King Sheep dot com here.
During my precious few moments of free time, I’ll be combining my powers with Pat to produce Coming Distractions with a new comic every day for the first week of May to commemorate the opening summer movie season.
Expect hilarity, irreverence, and a few things you didn’t think we were capable of.
It all starts tomorrow, so bookmark http://www.king-sheep.com/cdcomic.html and hold onto whatever it is that you’re going to laugh off.

There was a time when I used to think I had a knack with machines, electronic or mechanical. Often, my mere presence was enough to cause a previously finicky copier or VCR to spring to life and whistle merrily about its normal routine.
Other times, I would pop its casing open and just follow my nose until I’d done something, then close ‘er back up and everything would be fine.
I’ve recently revised that theory regarding computers. In the past 9 months, I’ve ruined two whole systems to the point where new machines needed to be purchased, destroyed one hard drive, and rendered another system so ill that it cannot function for longer than two hours without shutting down.
I was finally able to get my own system back up and running a couple days ago (hence the new comic), but I’ve left quite a swath of destruction behind me. In the end, it was accomplished through a combination of assumptions, mad scrambling, Judeo-pagan rituals, jazz dance, and human sacrifices.
So, what do people think of the new site layout?
Being a general hermit has removed me somewhat from the opinions of my peers, but I am curious. Is the site easily navigable? Are there confusing directories or dead-ends? Lay it on me, folks, I’m not faint of spirit.
Let us know as King Sheep and I continue to come up with ways to dazzle and astonish you.
