I've been in the habit of taking naps for too long. What's supposed to be a quick 30 minute power nap ends up being 3-4 hours. Sometimes I wake up the next morning and realize all the lights in my apartment are on and I feel all grimy from sleeping in my clothes and forgetting to brush. On top of that I haven't done any work. Talk about a shitty situation. I've been using the patch and cutting the smokes so I think that's what's been affecting my sleep. Argh.

Anyway, I'll be off to Anime Reactor this Thursday. It's a great con in Chicago and they always treat their guests well. I'm really looking forward to this. I'm scheduled to speak at 3 panels: One on portfolio prep and tips, one on comics and one on the future of manga. If you're in the area, drop by and say Hi.
