have fun tonight everyone! i will be working while you guys are trick or treating.
costumes are fun, it brings out the creative people and the streets are filled with ghosts, corpses and vampires. It’s like a weird nightmare.
Currently listening to statistics cd, currently reading promise of the witch king, by ra salvatore, currently playing midway arcade treasures 3 gamecube, current movie reccomendation the station agent on dvd.
thats what i like about cerebus shoal and the twelve canons. you could see a solitary crazy homeless man signing these tunes. great show. great fun. also michah bluesmalldone is ana amazing guitarist.
show last night, gabes oasis
statistics, A+ thank you denver dalley.
little brazil, B++ these two on tour together is going to be fun
my electic heart. F- hey guys you may have gotten a c, but you suck because you left after your set, showed no support for two great touring bands, and that alone puts you in failure category.
Tonight I get to see cerebus shoal again, along with michael blue smalldone and twelve canons. yipee!
The Innocents by Gipi. Fantagraphics. This is my pick for the week. A great book by an italian artist, about a young boy spending a day with his uncle going to see an ex convict. Its very slow and the washed out artwork is nice and sedative. The story doesn’t really go anywhere but it doesn’t really need to.
Loveless # 1 DC/Vertigo. A western by Azzarello(100 bullets). This is the most foul languaged mainstream comic I’ve ever seen DC publish and I’m in love with it. The nice sky colors and the weird post civil war west lend themselves well to this, one of the few western books even being published in any literary format.
Super F**ckers by James Kolchaka, Top SHelf. oh man. this book is funny, but i don’t know that im that into it. Kolchaka’s American Elf is a work of artwork and life, this seems like all the high school jokes you can think off crammed into one book for better and mostly worse.
New Avengers # 12 Marvel We still don’t know who Ronin is, and captain america told a joke! Still my favorite superhero book currently being published. Good week for the funny book store!
today, im sitting at the keyboard and i just can’t put words in the system. I feel frazzled. I just spent the last three hours walking aimessly, managed to snag a copy of the kite runner for 50 cents, and i’ve eaten just bread and cream cheese all day. maybe tommorow will be more productive. but it doesn’t have to be.
i feel old. i used to get excited for sunday night tv. id finish off a crazy weekend of shows and fun with an easy night of the simpsons, xfiles and deep space nine. Now, I dont even bother to turn the simpsons on. they have slowly weared off on me. It’s not that they arent as funny now, but i don’t get excited to watch them anymore. I hope my excitement for little things like a sunday television date isn’t gone just moved elsewhere. Sometimes I just want to go out and find that new thing. It’s out there.
Just ordered some stickers from stickerguy I have always been impressed with sticker guy. They have done many stickers for me and what im impressed with, is the quality and the fact that these stickers cost the same as they did ten years ago. Sticker Guy reminds me of the whole punk myth that we are all trying for but many never reach. They probably do make some money, but the fact is they could charge alot more for their services. But they don’t and it allows, individuals like me with little income to have nice shiny stickers made. I thank you sticker guy! Keep up the good work!
Last night I got to go to an early screening of Stay, a film by Marc Foster (Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland), and starring ewan mcgregor, Naomi Watts, and Ryan Gosling. This film is Foster’s most artistic so far, and he uses visuals more than spoken words, something he talked about after the screening. There are some really cool transitions between scenes that in some movies may seem a little too artistic but since this movie is about two characthers and their paths to one spot in time, it all makes sense at the end. I won’t ruin the end for you but it’s a nice twist ontop of the usually twist we have all learned to guess. This movie combines Ghost, and some Hitchcock, is fun, enjoyable, and the actors are great except for Watts, who seems preoccupied with something else, maybe a 2000 pound ape. O.k. check it out. One interesting comment from foster, he had not seen a movie till he was a teenager. The first one he saw, Apocolypse Now. Ouch!
todays lunch hour spent buying batman begins deluxe edition. even comes with a mini graphic novel! and i got a haircut.
now reading: current punk planet, now listening, make believe. still playing viewtiful joe 2, just finished watching children of dune miniseries.
We head up to Wisconsin for the Madison Zine fest. No Scene Fest. It’s OK as we walk around and explore the city. Heading out of town, our front hood flies open and smashes the windshield, while we are going down the highway. No one was hurt and I got to spend the whole day with my sweetie, (AWWWWWW!!!) I’m a very lucky creature.
