Scattered thoughts, fired off like a sawed-off shotgun into the face of a mutant crocodile.
-Working on a new comic idea. Using Scott, the main character from that crappy Dream Dive comic that I really should take down from this site. It takes place AFTER Dream Dive, and it too involves dreams, only not so directly. Big chunks of the narrative are ripped straight from my own dreams. Like the other projects, who knows if I'll ever even get into drawing this...
-After recharging my batteries from the summer session, I started today on a painting and two large charcoal drawings. Also got a request from mom for ANOTHER painted barn. So there's that too.
-Rob-Con is this Saturday. I'm going to hit it up after work at the storage buildings and before work at G2K. I find something good there every year, it seems, though nothing tops the year before last, when I walked away with two volumes of Kabuki and three volumes of Transmetropolitan...
-Of course, I don't have much spending cash to work with. I ordered the final volume of Scott Pilgrim the other night off Amazon, along with Frankenstein's Womb and Do Anything by Warren Ellis. And a paperback copy of Crooked Little Vein, so that the order would get free shipping. So I'll have two copies of my favorite novel!
-Casanova and King City are my current favorite reads. Just saying. I keep rereading the issues I have.
-This weekend, we went to a housewarming party and had a lot of fun. The best part of the night was a story about a guy having recurring nightmares about his parents being murdered. A lucid dreaming therapist told the guy to take a gun out of the glove compartment of his car to stop the murderer. When the guy finally got the courage to do this in the dream one night, a monster unfolded out of the glove comparment and screaming "STOP FUCKING WITH THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND." The guy apparently still isn't cured yet.
-Also, this happened. I get tickled a lot. -_-
-Also, DOGGY. SO CUTE.
-Both pictures were taken by Simon, whose house the housewarming party was at. His girlfriend, Amanda, was the one who told the excellent story above.
-I keep watching this:
The Goon is a comic I picked up religiously for a while, but then stopped. The creator is local, from Lebanon, Tennessee. Old-school mobsters beating the crap out of zombies! This reminds me to pick up more volumes.
-I get to see Inception on Thursday. I cannot wait.
-And um, that's about it for now. AWAYYYYYYYY.
