I swear that bag of Cheetos in the cupboard was calling my name…
Today’s comic was penciled, inked, colored and lettered completely in Photoshop. This is the first time in 4 years I’ve used Photoshop for inking… What brush did I use? Good question. The answer is here.

I’ve survived a nearly a week of bachelorhood. Here are some interesting facts / highlights of the week so far:
1) I’ve become a hermit – staying indoors unless I need groceries / supplies / a bike ride.
2) I haven’t eaten out once so far, but will tomorrow.
3) I’ve made some interesting sandwich combinations including one consisting of toasted bread, cheese, pineapples, spinach, veggie bacon and veggie pepperoni, with Thousand Island dressing.
4) I’m not missing Indian food (just yet), but ask me in a week.
5) Our neighbors are enjoying the peace and quiet. They better not get used to it…
6) On the days when I make a To-Do list, I’m very productive. On days I don’t, I tend to waste a lot of time.
7) I’ve been coffee-free for almost 2 weeks. I get occasional cravings, but I substitute hot chocolate for coffee when they occur.
8. I’ve stopped watching TV (only because our TV died this week.)
9) I’ve made more progress on the PC Weenies book, solidifying the front and back covers and two interior pages.
10) I go to bed much later than I should.
Oh, and my washer now works again (thanks to our maintenance guys, natch!)

So, I’m all alone for the next three weeks. Aarti and Sonia are having a blast over at my parents’ place in Tennessee, while I soldier on. The strip above happened to me a few days ago, when I noticed our washer wasn’t sounding like its usual self.
Being somewhat mechanically challenged, I did what any Indian guy would do in such a situation… heh.

Day two of bachelorhood continues… what adventures are in store? Tune in tomorrow!

Today I said goodbye to Aarti and Sonia – they’ve gone on a mini-vacation to my parents’ place in Knoxville, TN. Grampa and Gramma (or Thatha and Pati) have been dying to spend time with their grand-daughter, and Aarti needs a break from the usual – so they’re off.
I miss them both a lot – (I don’t miss the ‘diaper changing’ part, though.)
Bachelor life is really weird for me to get used to. The house is quiet. There’s no one to talk to. I miss Aarti’s awesome home cooking already. As I have no talent in the kitchen whatsoever (aside from taste-testing), I’ll have to settle for my lame attempts at meal preparation for the next 3 weeks.
I’m going to try and use this time productively. On the docket for this year are two books, and it’s my goal to make some steadfast progress on that front. So, yes, Shweta – if all goes according to my plan, you’ll be able to buy an UNcubed book before the end of this year.
Dinner: homemade pineapple pizza and baked potato chips
booyah!

As much as I like Indian food, I don’t like to eat it *all* the time. On the other hand, my dad’s favorite restaurants are always Indian restaurants. Go figure.
