The big secret:
Okay, I can't give away any details. (Not yet, at least) Especially since the project hasn't even been completed. But I've been invited to participate in a comic book anthology that will be released August 2004. It's not Marvel, DC, or any of the big boys. Fairly small publisher, but they have been featured in Wizard magazine... so that kinda cool.

Okay,...

I've got really great news! But... I can't tell anyone, except maybe fentopal. I can tell him, but no one else. Unless you $$paid me$$, then I might tell you. Or if you offered me any other acts of kindness, I could possibly tell you. But nobody else.

Not as though it really affects anybody. Just me. I'm excited.

A blogging friend of mine is compiling a list of the top 25 rock albums of all time (inspired by the Rolling Stone: Top 500). He asked me to contribute my own list. Here it is. Debate. Discuss. Create your own list.

1. PIXIES ~ DOOLITTLE
2. THE BEATLES ~ SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
3. U2 ~ THE JOSHUA TREE
4. THE CLASH...

I left the front door unlocked again. After I came home from Jumbo Super Buffet (one of my favorite Chinese resturants), I noticed the unlocked door. Had someone snuck in? Was a mysterious man hiding behind the shower curtain? So, I walked throughout my house with an aluminum baseball bat, determined to protect my homestead. Of course, no one was there except my cat.

I'm...

Last night, I was depressed because a publisher rejected my proposal for a script I've been working on for months. My wife and I laid in bed and talked about all the bullshit writers have to put up with (i.e. you put so much of yourself into your work, and you get these horrible impersonal "fuck you" responses). Then we had sex.

Sadly, I had never read any of Mike Mignola's HELLBOY until this week. I borrowed five of the books from my friend. I'm currently on my third book: "Wake the Devil."

It is so good... where have I been?

Thanks for all the encouragement. The printers did not fuck things up like I thought they would. And now I'm spending my evening folding and stapling, folding and stapling, folding and stapling. Mindless grunt work for the mini-comic. Joy.

My first mini-comic is off to the printer's. I have this feeling they are going to completely screw it up. I'm putting waaaay too much money into this book-- full color glossy cover. And they are going to screw it up.

I'm doing a small "limited edition" printing for the Isotope Award and to sell at our booth for the Dallas Comic Con Fan Day...
