i am still sick. i am very tired. i feel very weak and feeble. i break out into fits of coughing when i cross the street too fast. i am gonna try to sleep for nine hours tonight, i haven't done that yet since i've been sick.
i'm really pissed off at work today. this 20 hours for one owner, 20 hours for the other owner thing is bullshit. if i wanted to be a shitty fucking graphic designer who noodled one layout all day and sent it out for approval every five minutes, then i would not have listed "my fuel is pure graphic fury" as my occupation. i think i am gonna make a bid for taking over the design department.
i got photocopies made today of the reference photos for the SPX comic. pretty cool. it's so weird to watch my grandmother get sicker and sicker in the photos... it's weird that i am trying to work out in my head how i can portray the gaunt, sunken in look on her face and how i can contrast this against the full, warm expression of the older photos.
one of the photos is really bizarre, she is the sickest she had been in years, but it was also the first time she had seen me since i left for college, so she is so fucking happy in the photo, you can see this overwhelming joy in her eyes and her smile to be with me; but at the same time, the eyes shine from craters within her skull and the lips are pushed forward from sunken cheeks.
i don't think i'll ever forget how happy she was to see me when i would come to visit her while she was sick. its weird to think that i'll never have another grandmother. i had mine. its over. i guess the next step is to watch as my mother becomes her mother and the cycle repeats itself.

ThePants and i saw rob zombie's new flick: THE DEVILS REJECTS tonight for free. it was a special screening, a few weeks early. i lucked into a pass at the comic store the other day.
i don't know what to say about the movie. it is very little like HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. it is a sequel, but it is certainly not a horror film, so don't expect that. it's more like a western/slasher.
it is certainly interesting. the camera work is beautiful, at times, almost breathtaking. NO FILTERS WERE USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FILM should flash across the beginning of the movie and the trailer...
i don't know that, it wasn't what i was expecting, which i guess, is a good thing.
i want to say i didn't really like it, but i can't. i know i'm gonna be thinking about it for a few weeks.
it's certainly an entertaining film. definitely worth watching.
at the very least, it has amazing performances from sid haig, bill moselely and sherri moon zombie. it has a wrecklessness to it that movies just don't have anymore. a sense of danger.
this is a movie like THE HILLS HAVE EYES or LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT gone fucking berzerk. which, i guess, after all, i probably love.

edited to add: that i just tried to go to sleep and suddenly, i am absolutely fucking wired!
