.: I have just cleaned up the deep13 area and sat down at the computer. Listening to Mike Watt on the last.fm and just having read the new Freakangels.
.: Speaking of Warren Ellis (writer of Freakangels), I have finally read his novel Crooked Little Vein, which I picked up months ago when it first came out. I didn’t read it because it sounded a lot like a story I was writing at the time, though not quite. I didn’t want to let it influence or discourage the just forming story, so I put the reading on hold. At this point, the story has enough life so that it’s breathing on it’s own and blinking it’s eyes at the harsh light, so I decided I really wanted to read the damn book already.
And it was damn good. And familiar. Because Warren Ellis writes like an exotic chef. All of these strange animals you’d never consider eating. And you eat them because you’re really hungry for something new, and you think yo yourself as you’re chowing down, ‘tastes like chicken’.
But really good chicken. And then you find yourself hoping that he hadn’t fucked the taste of chicken into it, because that would be just like him.
So read Freakangels on the internets. Read Crooked Little Vein in your bed/easy chair/commuting vehicle (as long as you’re not driving)/ Barnes & Noble cafe.
.: Still no pictures of the work we did at my brother’s house. Mostly due to laziness on my part, coupled with the fact that Chuck’s camera is away somewhere now that we have a two year old in the house.
.: I think I’m getting myself a real cell phone plan. Some of my favorite people like to do nothing but text because they apparently can text all they want, but have limited minutes and no house phones. Besides, I guess it’s about time.
.: I really need to get cracking on the second story arc of Jedi Jesus. I’m also considering doing a more ‘mature’ web comic and having my mother draw it. She was asking questions in that vein, and my art abilities suck from almost never being used (and when they are, usually used for evil).
.: Speaking of Jedi, I’m missing out on the ‘Clone Wars’ with an old friend tonight because I don’t check my email often enough. I’ll have to get in touch with him soon, because I really enjoy his company.
.: I’m going up to smoke and get more coffee, and then if I come back downstairs, I’ll probably be doing some writing or website work, so this is all you get tonight.
.: When the fuck will someone else post something? I’ll get on their cases.
