The Eric Stephenson gab-a-thon continues at Newsarama today with this tastyinterview about the state of Image Comics. And that's "tasty," as in "mind numbingly dull discourse on comics and the people who make them" to you.

In other news, though, that new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album is pretty damn good. Kinda like the Rollin' Stones in their LET IT BLEED period...
margot_dent:
BRMC is pretty good, just started listening to them recently.

My comics came today...THANK YOU SO MUCH. i am giddy as a schoolgirl. feel free to IM me any time about indieclick or whatever.
margot_dent:

The always awesome Brian Scot Johnson over at Khepri.com just informed me he's spotlighting LONG HOT SUMMER in the Image section of the site. If you're interested in picking the book up and don't live near a comic book store (or for shame! your store doesn't stock the book), you can buy online here. (FOUR-LETTER WORLDS is available for order on the site...

Working on a Sunday.

Guh.

Just did two e-mail interviews for LONG HOT SUMMER, one for Newsarama.com, another for Comicon.com's Pulse. The Newsarama thing sounds like it's going to be part of a short series of interviews with me, so make sure to tune in as I search for opportunities to choke on my own feet. Both features should be running separate batches of...

Everyone's loving Britpop all over again.

I'm not sure if it's because of all the great music coming out of the UK these days or that it's just ten years on and time for a big ol' nostalgia fest. Either way, lots of music mags are reassessing the 90s Britpop boom, which, if nothing else, makes for some fairly interesting reading.

And which got me...

was in a bar the other day when 'this is hardcore' came on and i remembered how great pulp are. sometimes it's good to be reminded of such delights! and how wonderful to live in a world so full of delights that some can be forgotten...

in other news, have just had your preview pointed out to me and am liking it. greatly. can't wait to see more! more importantly am liking the nature of your journal, and would like to add you in order to keep abreast of Cool Stuff if this is ok?

That makes us the cool kids.

I guess I had typed my credit card information wrong when I ordered those "Y: The Last Man" so the order didn't even go through. Funny, that. I'll pay for shipping and send you a great mix cd if you want to get rid of the ones in your office (31-36 is what i need). That would be aces.

ps you don't happen to have astonishng xmen #11 lying around do you? hehehe.

Psssh I'm sure you've got plenty more...hairy...years ahead of you.

I was pretty damn ill recently and a lot of my hair fell out, i actually was tempted to do a Natalie Portman and start from scratch...

Luckily I decided against it.

Haha, look at us, discussing hair. Like a couple of girls. Hmmmm.

Pleased to eMeet you, anyway.

I dreamt last night that I was hanging out with Neil Hannon at a party. We were drinking expensive port and regailing the other guests with our versions of various Scott Walker tunes.

The night before, I dreamt my contact lenses were stuck to my corneas and I gouged my eyes out trying to remove them.

The mind boggles.

You know it's going to be weird NOT working on a book with you.

About to send you over three jpegs.
