I've Joined the Ad Whore Ranks

But I have a purpose. No doubt you've noticed the random ads along the side of this here bloggy blog and possibly the ad across the bottom. They are there for one reason and one reason alone: I'm trying to get me a Wacom Intuos and raise the funds anyway possible. This will include a donation box, which will include perks that I will discuss tomorrow, my selling of a portion of my extensive video game collection, and possibly spending weekends on the side of the road with shabby clothes and a cardboard sign that says, "College student, has degrees but wants to follow dreams instead."

Once I have said tablet, many a projects will be in the works. We will see the construction of Click-Trackheart.com--including the titular comic, "We've Got Brains" will be back on a guaranteed weekly basis, Milos should be coming back around again, and some random animations will happen soon after.

In other news, my review for Jellyfish is up here, and there will be a disappointed review for Step Brothers. And as an added, belated bonus, I'm going to try and get a review for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army together in the next day or two.

Ready to Step in Line for the Brothers

While it will probably, yet again, be a reprisal of Farrell's man-child/rich-idiot role, Step Brothers still looks quite amusing. I plan on seeing it today and hopefully have a review up by Monday--at the latest.

I'm also hoping to get a review up for Jellyfish. I went and checked it out last night. It's a mighty fine little film, and I suggest anyone should see it if they still have a chance to do so.

Other than that, my week long bachelorhood is coming to an end on Sunday, and my obession with PlayRadioPlay has deepend. Their newest, actually only, full-length album, Texas, is the second, maybe third, "real" album that I've bought from a store and not just downloaded. Every now and then it's nice to purchase something solid. I've always like flipping through the album insert, and I have rather missed the art that goes into some of them. Honestly, one of my secret wishes is to do an album cover for someone, but, then again, I suppose any half-marginally talented artist has the same desire. Look, ma, I'm just like everyone else...

The State of Things

Most likely it's because of my lack of tablet, but I'm having trouble finding any sort of "umph" to make a new comic--and I even had an idea for today. Sadly, I think I'm finally starting to realize that I need to focus all of my creative energies onto one project at a time. Maybe this is just a lame excuse to keep me from forcing all of my free time into writing and drawing. Maybe it's just a backlash of actually being busy at work. Maybe I'm just lazy.

Regardless of which maybe it is, there probably won't be a new comic today. And with what last week was, I apologize for this. Who knows, maybe I'll find some hidden reserve of energy hiding out in my jejunum and slap something together tonight, though this is doubtful since I plan on seeing Jellyfish tonight.

Hopefully, if I do put this whole comic biz on hold, I can get the next draft of my novel done faster than last time. Plus, my stupid critical paper is already starting to loom and put a dark cloud of creativity block over my noggin. Luckily, I have the new Mindless Self Indulgence album, "If", and a band I just recently discovered, PlayRadioPlay, to get me through the haze.
