Things on my mind today:
I stopped following international news and politics because it makes me ugly and agitated.
I found that without it... I'm ignorant, ugly, and only slightly less agitated. I will try again.
I should get more involved with today's culture. Having no TV, and not reading culture mags leaves me fealing Amish when my friends start talking about this and that. They are usualy stunned to find that I know absolutely nothing about the latest thingameebobbit.
I had this aweful late 70's song stuck in my head all day. I have no idea where it came from. It's gone now, thank....somebody.
I never had comics growing up and to this day have never owned one. my father's idea of creativity building was to give me a block of wood and say "do something with it"... so when I stumbled upon Jhonen Vasquez yesterday I was completely in awe! I will buy my first comic this weekend.
I am completely smitten by SNOW, and considered replacing my beloved "crush" Chan Marshall, but it saddens me.
I will create an army of mutant migit children to anoy all my friends with.
I have lately found myself writting in a voice that does not belong to me. this leaves me embaresed. I think I do it when I have nothing to say and really aught to just say nothing. I will try to fight this.
Today I bow my head for Spain, for humanity, and also for those who feel so passionately dissgruntled, dissenfranchised, confused, dissmayed, and completely powerless that they should strike out against the easiest and wrong target.
Everything remains the same.

...at any rate, if you are interested in getting some comics, read 'Watchmen'. It deconstructs the whole comic book mythos, and turns the medium on its ear, while being timely (and timeless) and topical. not to mention, it is cool as hell. also, scott mccloud books ('understanding comics' and 'reinventing comics') are great reads, which deal with not only comics, but visual storytelling in a fun and enlightening way.
