Well, it took me the better part of the afternoon.  I cleared my desk of all the business-y sort of paperwork that had piled up in the past week. And now I can get down to the fun of zine’ing.

Worked on a mini-zine last week. I’ll post it later today. Promise.

And it rained this afternoon. Life is good.

home. road. house. family. journey. cloud.

some of the words from the Thesaurus and Dictionary and book of Synonyms, Antonyms, and Prepositions that I have that I’m copying for my Road Trip Zine. There are some interesting associations. Not as dramatic as some of the past issues, but, hey, it’s a road trip. It’s not supposed to be serious.

zine’in’. working on the middle touches. It’s like last minute touches, except that they happen in the middle. I’ve got most of the photos into the places where they’ll go. Now I’m adding zine flare. This is the really fun part!!

I’ll post a page later today (this week-ish) so you can see an example of what I’ve been working on for the Road Trip Zine.

Mark your calendars. This fall, October 5 – 6, Third Annual ABQ Zine Fest!!

TheZINEsaurus has signed up to table. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More details to come.

And in other news, I have been working on a zine from my road trip earlier this month. And, in a sort of way, I’ve been working on my depression zine by not being as depressed as earlier this year, which has dampened my spirits – so to speak – about writing about my depression.

This is the “sporadically” part, folks.

And there are still plans to make/publish the adult poem for masturbation month. May is masturbation month. When it posts, it’ll have this symbol

(‘)

to let you know it’s adult oriented.

ZINE FEST!

TheZINEsaurus is pronounced \thi-zeen-SOHR-us\.

so, last night, as I was unwinding to be able to sleep, I thought,

“Wow! Tomorrow, on 12/12/12, would be a GREAT day to publish my latest zine!”

And it still is a great day to publish my latest zine.

However, my latest zine is not yet complete, thus making publishing somewhat less, um, complete.

I’m zine’ing today.  I plan to post what I’ve got done so far, and then work on getting the rest out in a timely fashion.

You did notice that this zine is sporadically produced, didn’t you?

Yep. Working on the next issue.

I’ve got a theme and some of the ideas. Don’t have a story yet. There may not be a story.

Maybe the story will develop as I’m working on the zine.

Then again, maybe not.

I’m having fun with my scissors and my glue, though.

And I know what recipe that I’m going to include. …

I created the PayPal button tonight and pasted the code onto the “Obtain” page. And stuff happened, but not what was SUPPOSED to happen. I’ll keep working on it.

In the meantime, if you haven’t check out the excerpt from the last edition II.I. On Spiders, Fear, and A Sense of Home.
