Latest Happenings
* I feel old, but not in a bad way.
* My mom wrote a letter to The Star and they published it yesterday. It's about her favorite topic, which would of course be me.
* Speaking of, I got word yesterday that Duane Cunningham and I's 'Band on the Sun' will be in there through the month of August. Looks like I need to write up an extra script, huh D? Five Thursdays! Y'all are not going to BELIEVE how wild this one's going to get!
* I'd like to write and draw a month for The Star on my own. Maybe something along the lines of 'Secret Agent X-9' or 'Steve Canyon'. That'd be fun.
* Mom got me the complete series of 'The Wonder Years'. Damn it, I love that show.
* I like the current color scheme on 'Reckon'.
* Read Rick Veitch's 'Can't Get No' Saturday morning, and it was a spectacular experience. Highly recommended. J, remind me to loan you this one.
* Picked up the complete collection of Raymond Chandler's short stories (Yay!) and Truffaut's 'Hitchcock'. Good, good reading in my near future, once I finish up Chandler's 'The Little Sister', which is so far fantastic, as I'd expect. I've also got Michael Lark's graphic novel adaptation of 'Sister', which I think I'll have to read again once I finish up the novel.
* Got the results back from my doc. Apparently I have an extra heartbeat, which on its own is not a bad thing, until those extra beats start doubling up in succession, and that's where the problems come from. They put me on a medicine which should regulate that, which I only need to take for a week (good, because I just hate the idea of forever taking pills), and then I should be fine. Of course, the whole thing was triggered by the extreme stress of the first couple weeks of June, so I just need to keep that in mind. Really, it's making me redouble my efforts towards getting my art career off the ground (I guess it is off the ground, though, isn't it? Just on a rickety hang glider). I'm going to accomplish the things that I want to in my life, and I'm taking no chances with that anymore. Some people cower when faced with their mortality. I thrive.
* Another page of 'Reckon' goes up tonight.
* I'll have four new pieces up tomorrow night, including the first landscape watercolor I've done since high school.
* Been watching the first season of 'Justice League'. I dig.
* Picked up three new albums: the new Oakenfold, the new live Fatboy Slim, and a live Queen album. The Queen stuff rocks more than I expected it to. The Oakenfold album, where I expected it to be his normal Trance stuff, is instead a mostly Breakbeat album. The Fatboy Slim album, where I expected it to be his normal Acid House stuff, is instead a mostly Trance/Happy House album. Up is down! Black is white! My expectations are shattered!
* Time to get to looking like I'm actually working.
