I was at a local deli yesterday morning to buy an onion. It seems I was the only one who wasn’t there to buy flowers for my mom (she’s in Taiwan). I guess I haven’t really gone to a store on Mother’s Day morning when people are scrambling to buy flowers because the whole sight was new to me. There was indeed a woman instructing a guy (who I’m guessing was either her brother or boyfriend) to buy the expensive flowers.
For those curious, I skyped my mom that morning.
For all my complaining about never having ideas, major holidays are usually the refuge since I’ve only done as many comics about them as there are years my comic has been up and running. So why is it that I so often miss or almost miss them? I guess it’s because I don’t keep a calendar. I think also this was one of the few weeks where I had several ideas stored up that I really wanted to do.
But anyway, Happy belated Mother’s Day Mama.
This is at Nintendo World around Rockefeller Center. This photo is taken on my crappy cell phone camera because my good camera’s battery was dead. I got in line at 9:00 am this morning (two hours before opening) because my mom really likes Wii Bowling so she gave me money to get her own Wii whenever I had the chance. Coincidentally it’s Mother’s Day so it all fits in. When I arrived there were already a dozen or so people waiting and by the time they opened the line was considerably longer.
There was a photographer from Fortune Magazine there, so in two or so weeks maybe I’ll have my photo in Fortune magazine. He was taking a lot of large format and also snapshot photos. He said it was a cover article so I guess the probability of me being in it is high.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Am I a terrible person for not knowing the whole “second Sunday of May” rule for when Mother’s Day is? I mean really, I never had to know that rule because when it approaches you have everyone in the world reminding you not to forget Mother’s Day. It’s never too late to learn anything. Well, there must be SOME exceptions to that rule, but I don’t feel like delving into those right now.
What can I say? I really really love my mom’s fried rice, and yes I’m very silly.
