I swear, it's true enough to make me cry. Hey, I can't help it. It's been awhile since I had a full week's worth of stuff in my day planner, even if stuff gets shuffled around. Tomorrow, I gotta dress nice in the sub-freezing weather, but oh well.Bed, now. The HermitYou scored 29 change, 41 wellbeing, 71...

You've probably been thinking, but have been too kind to say, "You've all but given up all your martial pursuits, haven't you, you lazy bsatard?" But, while my efforts have been admittedly sporadic and irregular, my love of the arts hasn't gone anywhere!In anticipation of training with a local FMA/WMA group (I've got the cash to start, just not enough to go very far), I've been looking up a whole...

I admit it, I'm still in my shell/cave/womb/tomb/Sith meditation chamber--whatever metaphor you'd like to use. Maybe it's a function of being "twenty-one plus eleven," but I just can't deal with as much stimuli as I used to, internal and external. Rather, I can't attend to it as much as I used to. A lot of things in life need my attention. However, for any of those things to be dealt with effectively,...
One of the things I love about indie comics is the premium they place on sensitivity to diversity. It's a struggle, and sometimes people in comics have made honest mistakes...It's the age-old question: how to be "sensitive" and still portray realistic characters. For Brian Bendis, it's simple--you fall back...

This weekend marked the fourth straight weekend in a row that we've road tripped somewhere. I now understand why hermits become hermits. Anyone have a sensory deprivation tank?

What do they say about the road to hell being paved with good intentions? That's exactly what's happened with my reading list. There's a lot of things I've been cramming into my mind, lately. Mostly literature. So, in the interest of general accountability, I'm going to post my reading list for 2006, including my 2005 backlog, and update my progress along the way. Sort of like Nick Hornby's Polysyllabic...

...about nothing important. Just whether or not I like Joss Stone.I hadn't heard of her (haven't seen the Gap commercial, the VH-1 Diva thing, nothing) before seeing her do a set on Austin City Limits after Michael McDonald. My first impression was that she was a Joplin rip-off, but she and her band were good enough to keep me interested for a half-hour. I didn't know she's a mere 17 years old...

Ah, another holiday over, another road trip, and I'm almost as exhausted as I was in '05--but happy. * * *We got more stuff. Some were presents from others and some from ourselves.
