I did a walk for cancer treatment this evening through Stanley Park. I feel good about myself.

My grandpa's funeral is on Thursday and I have a really bad cold. That's about all that's going on in my life now.

Oh, Zappa (and anyone else) I saw James Morrison on Friday. He was brilliant.

[QUOTE=Robert Crumb]It's bull**** to a degree, yeah, but "graphic novels" offer a way for a comic book artist to provide a story that works beyond single issues..[/QUOTE]

A story can just as easily be done in serial form though, from issue to issue. Like Zappa said, many of those that are called graphic novels are really just collected editions of former serials.

So my girlfriend told me last night that she wants to get into some new music (finally!). I asked her what she wants in general, and she said songs that are inspirational and not too slow.

Hmm...so far I've got Jeff Buckley - Eternal Life.

I took the bus ride home from downtown for the first time yesterday yippee. I'm making progress.

Public transportation, bahaha.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Are you living in a new city?[/QUOTE]

Moved in last year. If I get in the uni I'd like to go to next year it's a 30-40 minute bus ride and a 10 minute subway/walk.

Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Weezer - Across the Sea
Pumpkins - Stand inside your love (alot of machina has an inspirational like tone to it.)

Public transportation is neat. I like taking the lightrail into town sometimes because it's interesting people watchin'. But yeah, cars are nice, too.

A lot aren't, though. It's a big creative difference to make a comic script set for 28 pages each month compared to making something that has no set pages, just a script that an artist is going to work through without break. Neither process is more artistically valid than the other, nor is either easier I'd say, it's just a different way of doing something. Actually, doing a monthy is probably a lot harder, now that I think about it.

I think the whole business thing plays into it as well, at least right now. A lot of casual readers don't want to buy single issues if they know that it will be re-released as a collection. Used to be you could make a dozen copies of the same issue because collectors would sop 'em up. Still works for bigger titles but not so much as in the mid-90's. But right now, that's the market a lot of publishers are aiming for, casual readers that is.

Public trans only works in small crowded areas. Where I live its hell to take the bus.

Guess who came into my work on Friday?

Its so hard to listen to music with a loud ringing in your ear.

[QUOTE=Slug]Guess who came into my work on Friday?[/QUOTE]

The dude from The Strokes.

[QUOTE=Slug]Guess who came into my work on Friday?[/QUOTE]
Hmm... I don't know... uhm... Fidel Castro? I don't know really, it's hard.

I did kung-fu on my t-shirt just now.
