I just sent an 8-page script off to shazb0t. I hope it's as funny as I think it is.
My dance party plans have been sidelined by a mystery cramp . . . I woke up yesterday morning with the worst pain in my calf ever. It's not too strange, I've woken up with leg cramps before. I stretched it out and it hurt for...

I'm EXHAUSTED. I went to see Stella at the Logan Square Auditorium and it was the most poorly organized show I've ever seen. Folks didn't get inside until an hour and a half after the show was due to start, the line branched off in three different conflicting directions, and I think I actually suffered a broken heart when I got inside and saw there...

I hate when they fuck up shows like that... The screening of the Animatrix I saw last month was a joke of unorganized flailing about. Bummer.
I've left the company, by the way - next time you want to tell Deb off you'll have to do it yourself. I'm working for a web software company downtown now. Yay!
Good luck with the comic... I have a friend that will be shopping something around the show next month, too... It's based on characters that started in the album artwork for my last band, so I'm excited for him. My band may never be famous, but if my likeness is a comic character, I'd be pretty jazzed about that.
Peace - RT

Here I am looking for work and a place to live . . . in a lot of ways I'm in the same position as I was this time last year. But I am more acclimated to the city I suppose, and I'm actually getting some writing work to supplement things so I can't complain too loudly. And I certainly wouldn't want to do this...

i just got a new place, and i'm still looking for work
2003 hasn't been all bad for me though, i've squeezed a lot of travelling and other nonsense into this year so far

I'm thinking of using this space as a work journal. As it is, the public nature of it prompts me to update more regularly than any other kind of journal/diary I'm keeping right now, even if it's only to sometimes post a link to an article I want to keep track of or remember for later . . . so I thought I might as...

Congrats on your play... ever write film scripts?

My favorite part was when the fireworks would begin to fade and they looked like giant jellyfish floating through the sky.
Then, I sat in some gum.

Hey, are you going to Stella? Apparently I have a ticket, woo hoo!
tunnelslats:
Will do!

Being stressed out about girls and broken toilets and cold showers and moving to the south side makes for writing good comics, I think. Or, it has tonight. Four fully scripted pages! Eat it, jerks!
It's been so long since I've had hot water that the other night I had a dream about taking a hot shower. It was better than any sex dream in...

Great minds think alike it does seem.
So what kind of comics do you make? Have any of them seen print?

Found on Matt Fraction, Man of Action's website:
"The crowd of people was participating in the Mob Project, an e-mail-driven experiment in organizing groups of people who suddenly materialize in public places, interact with others according to a loose script and then dissipate just as suddenly as they appeared."

"Letter from an Occupant" by the New Pornographers makes me want to dance and high five people. It's been the soundtrack to Wednesday.
For a straight week a while back I was reading Devil in the White City everyday and eating a chicken sandwich at lunch. I had a chicken sandwich again today and it reminded me of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and serial...

The New Pornographers are fantastic - I just discovered them in the past few weeks. Once again, sir, I am compelled to complement you on your excellent taste...!! Another band I've recently discovered - the Pearlfishers.

Wow, I just did research on a serial killer to prove to a kid in one of my classes that Wild Bill from SOTL was actually based on a real person.
And Im sure Ive eaten chicken here recently.
Ooooooh, spooooky.

So, Ang Lee's HULK. Let's just go ahead and get it out of the way that the CGI title character looked cartoonish and silly. It's been said, it's a stated fact (or, if you prefer, a very strong opinion), and it won't be brought up again. Personally, I think if they slathered Dolph Lundgren in green paint and give him some tiny shorts...

That is so cool.

Ooo, I'd be very very curious to hear your review of the Hulk - you should post it up here as a review!! Not sure if I'll make it out to see it or not...
I've got a ton of music on my computer, and I do that all the time. Good fun.
Goood luck with the script!
