echoes.

Leave a reply

do you think we leave echoes? I first thought about this when i was home visiting my family a couple of years ago and i was expecting my cat to come running down the stairs at any moment, even though i Knew she was back in Massachusettes. But since we had lived in that apartment before it just felt natural that she should be there. I keep thinking about people that I may never see again and I wonder if they have left an echo in my brain that certain sights and sounds can trigger. You know how sometimes there’s someone you pretty much forgotten and then one day out of the blue your smiling about a memory of them? It’s strange and eerie, because it’s almost like remebering someone who has passed away, even though these people aren’t dead. I wonder if I’ve left any echoes, any footprints on any of you, and if there good ones or bad ones? And what happens to those echoes that make you forget them as soon as your mind has wandered elsewhere?

we had our first full snow last night and i’m inside playing astro boy for the gameboy, and going to watch dawn of the dead(the remake) later. I’m ready to go out in the snow, but it’s easier to stay warm inside. And by the way I’m all for Al La Carte Cable. my chanel lineup would be the Espn networks(for college sports), comedy central(for jon stewart), scifi(battlestar Galactica), cartoon(aqua teen Hunger Force, toonami), and I’d get TLC for Jess. worse case scenario say thats five bucks a channel, id much rather pay 25 for that than 50 for all that crap i’ll never watch. Hope congress presses this issue, cause I want me some Cable!

comic reviews

Fell# 3 by Warren Ellis and Ben templesmith. 1.99 Image comics. 16 pages of nine panel comic bliss. This story is so depressing, but not in any sort of real way. It just leaves you wanting something from the human condition. Templesmiths art, especially near the end of this issue is superb and spooky all at once. I’m loving me some fell and you can’t go wrong with the price.

New Avengers # 13 by Bendis, Finch. Snap. Bendis gives his buddy David Mack some props near the end of this issue and we’ve got more drama in this issue than the E! news channel could find in Joan Rivers closet. I love the way Finch draws Captain America’s eyes. They are so hurt and angry. And Iron Man just turns into a total badass midway through making you wonder why he needs the Avengers(especially spider-man) at all. Anyway I’m still hooked and this one will stay at on my very small list.

Lost tonight!

finished writing my half of the julie jones story which began in his world her world last month, it is about 20 times the size of that first installment, so when they are all published individually the plan is to release a collected edition of this little girl in the wild world we created, but that is a few years off at earliest. Played around with garage band this morning. I want to do something violently musical but everytime i touch an instrument i get soft and somber. I just can’t play fast and hard I guess.

Im stuck on page 87 of this vampire/pirate/anticatholic novel i was writing. Been stuck there for about a month. guess that’s not going to get finished either. I have such a terrible habit of starting and stopping too soon. So it’s nice to be done with Julie Jones. It’s cold on the computer.

watched today: 4 minutes of eagles football, before sunset (ethan hawke Julie delpy), one episode of forever knight.
read today the newspaper, spx2003 collection, cicada by josue menjivar.
worked today 8.5 hours. moments spent daydreaming. plenty.

My east carolina pirates beat UAB yesterday to go 5-6 on the year. Far from the glory days i lived in the 90’s its nice to be competing again, and I look forward to touching down in greenville, nc on game day again. I miss the festivity of it all.

going broke, going for gold. loving each moment as we burn the candle on both ends. let’s not hold back any longer.

48 hrs.

past 48 hours what ive done. 2pm,monday beers and margaritas at Mickeys Irish pub, downtown iowa city. 4pm drunken walking around eventually home. We watch my life as a dog, and doggy poo(yes thats a real movie) It was a dog themed evening. afterwards i read this months issue of Black Book and turn off the light at 11am. Im up at 6am, to catch the bus to work. our car is in the shop. I work from 7:45 till about 4.30 and run to target to get christmas gifts, catching the bus home at 5.30. I make spaghetti and we watch the greatest inventions of our time before watching my name is earl. Jason Lee is one funny dude. I play Turok Rage wars on the 64, I got it for a 1.69 and then play ssx tricky on the gamecube till 11pm. Get online until god knows when and crawl into bed. This morning I got up and walked the four-to eight miles to get the car at the autobody shop. $814 dollars down the drain. I could put out a 7″ for that money ouch! Pick up an used blade trinity on dvd for 4.98 and the second season of Forever Knight for 7.98 I vaguely remember this show but for 7.98 who cares? Got to the funny book store where I get Loveless # 2. If ever a comic deserved a R rating this one is it. It’s full of things that make you cringe, and not in the gross way. It’s just dirty. But I admit to enjoying it. Had lunch with Jessica at a pretty decent BBQ place but it’s not NC BBQ. Now Im here typing for you. I will go watch Lost tonight, and celebrate Kill the Indians day tommorow. Have fun giving thanks.

i’m in love with the superman returns teaser trailer. Marlon Brando voice over is awesome. I don’t even like superman in the comics, he’s so one dimensional. But the trailer all 30 seconds of it is so symbolic of movie making that it has me more excited for this film than any other next year. And that is just crazy to me. How am i excited about a superhero i find boring in the comics? one name. Bryan Signer. You can already tell from the look of this film what he is doing, it looks fabulous and just as he did x-men i think were going to have a good time at the movies next summer, Speaking of x-men. I’m horrified about X3. X2 was sooo good and was ripe for a followup but im afraid were going to get utter crap out of Bret Wagner as director. I hope i am so wrong. I really do. but we will see. Anyway im off to watch the trailer for a 10th time. Hey at 30 seconds thats only 5 minutes of my life. I’m not that big of a geek. Maybe.

good night and good luck

Leave a reply


Good Night and Good Luck, a film by George Clooney. Very nicely done film about edward r. murrow’s battle with Mccarthy and fighting the government’s witchhunt for communists. David Straithan plays Murrow almost perfectly and the surrounding cast including Robert Downey jr. all turn in fine performances. Very good political film which Americans should watch closely during this hunt the terrosit age we live in. Also remeber that CBS pulled the plug on Murrow for being too political for the sponsors. Well we all know sponsors hold more power now so who exactly is paying for your news now? And how does that affect the content. Good Night and Good Luck America. We need it.

im surrounded by stuff. These things I do not need. These books I will never read again, these cds i will never play again, dvds that look nice in their shiny package but do i have the hours left to watch them again? It’s part nostalgia, part consumerism, but we keep these things on our shelves, and then they do what? they sit there looking pretty, or in my case often tacky. I can always justify it to myself that thanks to ebay i can always sell them later when they dont look so pretty to me anymore. In fact half of the money for the next cd lucky creature is putting out came from ebay sales such as this. I do like my stuff, and i guess that’s all that matters. but at the end of the day it is just stuff. funny how affected we are by such unalive pieces of plastic. funny and kinda sad.

Mark Schwaber “The Killing Card” cd Out Soon!

mark schwaber, the killing card.

Leave a reply

just opened my mail and played from start to finish the new album by Mark Schwaber that lucky creature is going to split release with Pigeon records here shortly. This may be the best sounding, completely thought out record I have ever had the privelige of doing anything with. It is going to melt some minds out there. Beautiful tunes and some really inspired rock songs as well. This cd is what indie rock should be, catchy, yet laid back and not overly in your face. The lyrics are great and Mark does reign in some of the f bombs from his debut cd “two years and thirty minutes.” Some but not all. And the 16 songs on this disc range from full band pieces to soft somber guitar entrees. Mark Schwaber should be heard by everyone. So I will be happy to mail you your cd when it hits, in a beautiful digipack case! Shortly, oh so shortly.
