Comics Should Be Good! » What I bought - 28 December 2007
Fialkov is obviously having a blast writing almost stream-of-consciousness stuff, and Chamberlain uses random pictures smashed together to give it a dream-like feel (check out the cover for an example). It’s a wild book, and I encourage you to hunt it down. Get to it!
Hooray for Jesus and CBR!
30 Rock is much better than I gave it credit for. I watched the first few episodes as they aired, but, the quality goes through the roof not to long after where I quit. I also had missed the pilot, which I think is infinitely better than the three or four that come afterwards. Veronica Mars Season 2, while not as good as Season 1, is equally as addicting. The mini-mysteries from episode to episode really sing, and it's a big help. Add a big helping of Ken "I Wanna Dip My Balls in It" Marino makes it that much better. It really was one of the best shows of the decade, wasn't it?
Progresso's Wedding Soup is the shit.
The Blackberry is perfect for those unable to move ones arms and sit up straight.
I'm considerably more resilient than I was a few years ago. I blew my back out five years ago, and I feel like it took a week or more before I was moving around. This time, I'm already walking and sitting up within the first day.
And finally, my wife is amazing. I've never had anyone be so attentive, caring, and ready to help.
I threw my back out carrying the laundry. Consequently, I'll be spending the next few days crippled and in bed high on muscle relaxants and quietly sobbing. Happy new year. j.

I'd planned on doing that Sweeney Todd review, and talking more about end of the year-y stuff, but, both Christina and I were sick, and while I miraculously recovered, she's still zonked out, so I've been taking care of her full time. So, y'know, back later.

Anyone with any love for the absurd should be reading Punks. This is a breakthrough book, and though it isn’t for everyone, I think a lot of people are missing out on great fun and it’s a damn shame.
Technogy at work. I'm posting on twitter through my Blackberry.
At some point, my east coast cold tolerance disappeared, and i now spend everyday bundled up like a eskimo.

Just made it to Paramount for a Sweeney Todd screening. I've been SUPER psyched for it, and am really looking forward to it. Here's to not being disappointed. Back in a couple of hours. j.

UPDATE: The movie is fucking fantastic. I'll write a new post about it later today.
Just what have I been listening to today? Going between working my way through The Orestia (by Aeschylus) and the script for Guillory, which means i need some bad ass 70's rambling. And a little Abba to take the morning edge off. After the jump.

Leopard's pretty cool. I don't know if it's necessarily worth the upgrade, but, the little bells and whistles are cool.
Punks Christmas Special just arrived... it's awesometastic.
