A Severed Lifeline
Our DSL connection at the new place is going to be going off on Monday, and won’t be back up until about the 23rd. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself! maybe this’ll give me more of an excuse to work on music. Hopefully I’ll be roarin’ back onto the internet on the 23rd with a completed release for Em411. We’ll see. Our phone line will also be down for a few days, but that’s a little less of an inconvenience right now…at least for me.
I will still have DSL at work of course, so I’ll be checking my e-mail and such regularly, but I won’t be on any IM services or anything for a while. And no music downloading! Grrr!
Last week was a great week for comics. Lots of good, arts-y trades and graphic novels out, including Craig Thompson’s illustrated travel diary, Carnet de Voyage. I can’t believe this guy can draw that much and that well while travelling. It’s incredible. Chris Ware’s Acme Novelty Datebook also came out in hardcover, which I might get next week. It’s a beautiful looking sketchbook, with his trademark busy cover style going on.
Speaking of comics, I watched American Splendor, the adaptation of Harvey Pekar’s autobiographical comic series of the same name, with Joey last night. Damn funny, very odd little film, and the integration of the real Harvey Pekar and his real friends and family in the narration and “interview” scenes was really well done, and really unique.
More later, and this time, when I say later, I mean way later, most likely.
