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...

Moved Into Action

I watched Babel last night. Talk about a film where crap upon crap is piled on the characters, and for no real reason--at least from what I could see. It's more just like an interconneced shit-storm than a film with growing, complicated characters. If anything, it's a cautionary tale against making everyday choices. Who knows what little decision you might make and the repercussions it might cause. It may be well directed, but the script needed some work.

However, it gave me the time and oppurtunity to get a new comic online. So enjoy. I can't guarantee that they will be a weekly occurence anymore.

In other news, I'm completely obsessed with the band PlayRadioPlay, and I have no idea why. Normally, that kind of geek rock would just piss me off, but I can't get enough of that whiney teen's voice--the dude is only 18. Check them out if you're bored and/or into happy-inducing music.

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.
