Important World News

I work at a car wash, usually by myself.  There is a lot of down time involved.  That's not to say that there isn't usually something to do - trash needs to be changed, the lot needs to be swept, the tunnel cleaned, equipment greased, etc.  But there are days in which we wash only a handful of cars, and even if I do everything on our checklist I still get bored as fuck. 

One day I started doodling on a piece of printer paper and wrote my thoughts out on it and it ended up being a fairly amusing read.  To me, at least.  I'm pretty sure I drew a pair of testicles with angel wings flying around, talking about my recent obsession with Call of Duty 4.  I kept the piece of modern art brilliance and brought it with me on my way home.  But first - I needed to get some groceries!  On my way out of Kroger I stopped and looked at the bulletin board they have set up and thought it might be funny if some grandma saw the flying angel sac up there.  I ran to my car, grabbed my newsletter and tacked it up proudly for all to see.

I've been doing this regularly for a few months now, maybe one every week or two.  The other night while going through various boxes about the house, Rachel found my scanner.  I thought it had been left at my old Van Buren apartment I had been evicted from.  I was thrilled to have it back.  The first thing I scanned was a microfiber cloth at 12,800 (!!!!) dpi.  

I made another one of my newsletters at work today, and decided it was time for me to reach a wider audience.  I made up a new MySpace page, got a new GMail account and now Important World News can be seen by anyone with an internet connection!  I'll be adding them to my rusty ol' Sailblog as I make them, too.  At least until I lose interest.  So, here you go - the first of many e-installments of IWN.  I don't know how to make pictures small in the interwebs, so click the image and it'll hopefully take you to the full size bad boy.
