Lazy Sunday afternoon.
Managed to sleep in fairly late this morning and then have a long and leisurely breakfast (somewhat extended by the HOUR wait), and now I'm at work attempting to get ahead on the next week.
We went to see GRIZZLY MAN last night and that turned out to be quite good. That poor guy had some serious problems and despite his belief...

You know what I hate?
Going to bed tired and then waking us tired. I mean, WTF? I slept, alright?
I'm supposed to wake up R-E-F-R-E-S-H-E-D!

I'm going back to bed.

I hear that - I actually slept for six hours today (which is pretty good for me), but I still required a nap later on.

As far as Dead Enders goes - I just picked up a nearly complete run at a garage sale over the weekend. It looks pretty sweet.
I'll let you know what I think later this week.

Once again woke up with Madness on the brain "In the Middle of the Night" being the precise song stuck in my head as I emerged from slumber but I've chosen to ignore that and spend the day listening to Belle and Sebastian. Which is probably good, because for whatever reason, I'm super-stressed and extremely irritiable today, and I'm hoping the dulcet tones of B&S...

B&S soothes the soul!
As for Dead West, I didn't really like it. The art was hard to follow and there really wasnt any character development or any reason to feel empathy for anyone in the story. Hell, I didn't even know who most of the people were. Hopefully it's not just me. Plus, you can only see "BAM BAM BANG SHOOT" for so many panels without getting completely bored. His other book wasnt too bad from the parts I read of it though.

You need to drop what you're doing right now, make your way out to the local comics shop and grab a copy of Ande Parks' CAPOTE IN KANSAS from Oni Press. It's a fictional account of Truman Capote's experiences in Kansas whilst researching IN COLD BLOOD and it's easily one of the best graphic novels I've read in a long while. If your funnybook store...

There's nothing WRONG with Meltdown, persay. It's a good toy store. They have some rad indie stuff I can't find a lot of places, but all in all I prefer the Golden Apple.
Capote In Kansas was sold out of both stores. Not like I walked away empty handed, though. Poor impulse control.

less of a hassle indeed. i'd rather get my wisdom teeth removed than park on melrose; i parked at the wrong end yesterday at 715, the parking spot was only until 8. i dont remember if i've ever "power walked" in my life before then.
I woke up today with the urge to listen to Madness. I haven't really listened to Madness much since the early '90s, but for whatever reason, I felt like giving them some time on the ol' iPod today. Maybe it's because there was something about them in the last issue of MOJO. They seem like one of those bands due for a reappraisal. Everyone keeps...

it is Colby from Upright Citizens Brigade.
Much love for Madness. Excellent taste in music.

Get back to work.
I guess I should start making an effort with the ol' journal here. The main problem, as I was just explaining to Jamie is I don't update my own blog often enough to justify having a separate journal.
And it's not like I lead a particularly interesting life. The blog on my own site generally consists of me carping on about music, comics and politics,...
