Well, the birthday..was a quiet one.
I did see Revenge of the Sith, and it wasn't bad. Great eye candy, but didn't feel much emotional investment into it. Kinda had the same reaction to Sin City. It was great to see a faithful interpretation of the comic, but some things just work better on the page.
SGChicago bowling on Sunday, however, rocked

just the whole cat/aaron thing. sometimes the universe works in such mysterious ways. i don't get it.
Shit..I'm HOW old? ...don't feel mature enough to be that old...
In crazy gaming news..rented God of War for the PS2.
Wow...the violence, the beautiful violence. The game's gorgeous, a blast, definitely cathartic, and the story's keeping me interested. All good things
Yeah, that's right, I have no life...

..or, "feeling crummy for all the usual reasons"
Not all is terrible, I guess..
Anyway, this also seems to be a movie crazy week.
Forgot to mention Howl's Moving Castle, the new Miyazaki movie, which I got to see last Sunday.
It was pretty, and the world was fascinating, and I liked the story too despite my friends picking apart certain elements (or lack...

Ok, fine:
Between my neighbors and I, we share 3 plots and a few sections of community area in our back yard. I have a three year-old blackberry bush with a very high yield expected. I plopped in some chili, cayenne, and bell peppers. (Last year I had habenero and jalepenos, too.) I have tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, chives, cilantro, sage, chamomile, oregano, and lots of different flowers. Last year the yard was over-run by sunflowers and it was fantastic... helps that one of my neighbors is a horticulturalist and another is the IL Orchid Society President.

So, usually I'm not one for midnight showings.
But, my brother made plans to go, and he and I went..with a bunch of friends.
And...holy shit! "Batman Begins" is great!
For me, it's up there with Bruce Timm's animated version as my favorite adaptation of the character to a medium outside of the comics (which, admittedly, I haven't read in quite a while and am...

I worked, I was lazy, played Blood Rayne 2 since I rented it and all. It's not terrible, but not gonna buy it, either.
Went to my friend's Art Night gathering tonight..got some writing and some inking done.

Well, the get together wasn't a complete distaster.
Lunch was definitely good....though reserving the table for 15 people was apparently unneccessary.
And then Fireside was closed and I was wishing I had people's phone numbers to re-plan...
But, ended up going to an "art night" get together a friend was having nearby and that was fun

Seen all the films! Finally. I loved the 3rd one - I know some hard core fans slagged it, but I found it very moving and a great climax - especially compared to Disney inspired 1 and 2!
How are you doing? Last weekend was good for me - I should write about it in my journal as we all did an event for Kerrang and SG - was a launch party for some CD, and apart from having to wear very dodgy t-shirts depicting the words 'Metal Mania', it was a great night.

I am...confused, mostly.
This girl from school who I've had coffee with a couple times has been perfectly nice to me when I saw her around campus or actually talked to her on the phone when she was around, actually seemed to want to talk to me.
When she wasn't around and I called to see if she wanted to hang out, I left messages...but...

Y'know, research for any sort of comic involving transgender communist pirates...well the communist and pirate websites wouldn't be so bad.

Heyyy..thanks for commenting on my page. I am always struggling for words when I try to describe my zine to someone. If you google "indigo zine michelle aiello" you can find reviews. It's really quite self-indulgent, but then again, that's kinda the point of having a zine or blog, isn't it? Anyway, don't be a stranger.

ive never watched any of the Blades... funny cuz i usually like that stuff
