I love
sitting up here, looking at those
bright, twinkly things in the sky. I
forget their technical name.
Music: Michael Bublé
- Feelin' Good
Fine. I'll admit it. I'm gay for
Michael
Bublé.
Updated the What to Think section,
finally.
So what have
I been up to? Not a whole hell of a
lot. Working, and I wish I wasn't,
but now I have things to pay off.
Curse The Man.
The first session of Necessary
Evil was interesting. I wasn't
expecting my awesome Hammer & Sickle
to be an efficient Communist murder
machine, but I'll take it. Could use
a toughness boost, though.
There are a
few things I want to do, but odds
are I won't get around to them.
I've been told to do so on more than
one occasion and more than one
person (read: two) to bring Chicago
& Geoff back, and I want to, but I
just sat here for the last half hour
trying to think of a decent idea for
a strip and nothing came. I want to
flesh out the concept of Dr. Rock
Quarry, an audio
drama/action/comedy/atrocity
surrounding a quantum physicist that
gets quantum physical when various
evil forces of Super Science threaten the
security of the world. An idea I had
about a short story that I had
forgotten about for a while has
returned and is stirring around in
my brain again, taking place during one
night where a drifter driving across
the former Route 66 between Arizona
and New Mexico and his vampire
hitchhiker who's in pretty bad
shape. I also came up for a concept
for a short film while buying a box
of sleeping pills at Wal-Mart at 5AM
last night, but I don't even think
it's worth describing.
So, yeah. More next month, I
guess.
UPDATE (4:12 AM):
Alright, so, I've been hearing about
it, but I didn't go looking for it
until now. In case you haven't seen
it, here's a
link
to the recent infamous interview
with Tom Cruise on the Today Show,
and yes, he's batshit insane.
Matt, Matt, Matt. You don't know
the history of So Long, Sanity. I
do.

Random Thought #46:
As
my hair continues to grow I find
that more of it comes out while
showering. Looking at the drain, I
think I know what it must be like
when Robin Williams bathes.
Yes,
I am also obsessed with Splinter
Cell.

So I
finally struck a nerve with my
neighbor, Asshole. The whole dispute
is childish, I know. He likes
parking his van in front of my
house, except I also like to park in
front of my house and have been
doing so for the last three years,
but he feels that needs to change.
For some reason the space in front
of his own home isn't an option for
him. So I've been parking in front
of his house whenever possible, but
since he gets home before I do he
started to get his daughter to park
in front of their house and put his
van in my space. Sometimes there'd
be an opening on either side and I'd
take it, then I got the idea to park
directly across from his driveway on
the other side of the street, making
backing out difficult for him.
It's probably important to note that
I've never liked him much, for a
variety of reasons I don't feel like
going through right now. I'm sure
you know someone who does extremely
irritating things and doesn't
realize what they do annoys people.
Anyway, on the second day of parking
across from his driveway, having
just gotten home from work and
walking to go inside my house he
came out of his garage and spoke
from his driveway. "Hey, Kyle, you
know, we're having a hard time
backing out with you parked there,"
he said, surprisingly calm. I
feigned a surprised look and said
"Really?" as sarcastically as
possible. Then he snapped, yelling
"Why are you being an asshole?!" I
was about halfway through the first
syllable of "because" when I found
out that this was, in fact, a
rhetorical question. He yelled some
more, "You could just pull up ahead
and everyone would have all the
space they needed but you're just
being a dick!" He was in
mid-sentence when I rolled my eyes
and started towards my house again,
deciding that I, though you might
not believe it, have better things
to do than get in a screaming match
with a shaven ape stuffed into a
pair of overalls.
I
also had an incident at a different
EB similar to the last one, but this
time I came home with a completely
empty box. After going back and
believing to have gotten it
straightened out, I left again only
to find the wrong game had been
packed into the case. The third time
I yelled at the guy, something I
usually don't do, but I felt pretty
good afterwards. Perhaps I need to
stop bottling up my aggression.
I also went to a gun show, which was
a different experience. Because I
also have a hard time ignoring
strangers trying to get my attention
and various objects being shoved in
front of me, I let myself be talked
into buying a raffle ticket for a
rifle and signed up for some nutty
right-winger's mailing list. Oh
well, if anything it'll probably be
a laugh.
Really, this stemmed from deciding I
didn't show enough sociopathic
tendencies, so I generated an
interest in firearms. This also
means, of course, that I have a
small penis.
Oh,
and Blake was arrested in
Mississippi today for possession of
marijuana. He and his girlfriend
were going to a wedding, driving a
new car with temporary plates. The
cops didn't recognize the plates as
such, pulled him over thinking the
car was stolen, searched it, and
there you have it. He's out, but my
dad's none too pleased with having
to spend a little over a grand to
get him out. If anything, I can add
this event to the list of things I
can look to when I fear I'm becoming
too much like my brother.

All
non-denial denials. They doubt our
ancestry, but they don't say the
story isn't accurate.
Music:
Denis Leary - Save This
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
is a silly, insulting, terrible
book. Someone please explain to me
why it's so popular when, just
ignoring the historical
inaccuracies, the story is so
predictable and the "mystery" is
overdone and irritating. Let me
clarify that last part: So far, not
even half way through the book,
there are at least ten instances
where the author hides information
that the main characters have
seen/heard even though we are
supposed to be taking their
perspective. Example: "Robert looked
down on the floor, where the black
light was shining. He saw the
writing immediately and jumped back,
'My god!' he said." And then you
don't find out what was written for
about three or four chapters. This
only works when used sparingly, so
when you're doing this in every
single chapter it only becomes
irritating and shows that your bag
of tricks when it comes to suspense
contains only one.
If you haven't read it, please
don't. If you have, tell me why
people are treating it like it's a
fucking lost manuscript written by
Shakespeare.

reality, sir, is lies and balderdash

Decided to pop on and make a quick
update before I go back to bed.
Finally updated the What to Think
section.
Well, it seems I'm not going to get
any advance notice of any those
Chicago warehouse sales anymore
since the Shacker involved decided
to turn it into some kind of
small business.
If I ever want to get involved in
this I guess I'll have to find
another way of contacting the
warehouse and figuring out their
schedule. If you like what you see
there by all means and set up a
PayPal account and buy from him.
I've got nothing against what he's
done, I'd probably do the same
thing.
I
haven't been up to a whole lot
lately, playing through System
Shock 2 for the umpteenth time,
as well as a few other games, other
than that it's been work, which I'm
starting to hate more and more. It
wouldn't be so bad if the only time
I could sit down wasn't just during
the two ten minute breaks.
Finally, I was at Dierberg's the
other day, checking out, and I saw
the cover of the latest issue of
InTouch Magazine, with Angelina
Jolie and Jennifer Aniston plastered
on it. It was the text that got me,
though: "Angie buys Brad a ring!
NOW IT'S WAR!
Jen fights back with a sexy
makeover!"
If only we could wage real military
conflicts in a similar fashion.
