Here's an update for the new year!

Holy effin' s...
Boy, did 2008 leave in a hurry? haha
Unfortunately I do not have any new poems or lyrics to post as I'm still putting almost all of my focus on this graphic novel, so for that I apologize.

First, an update on my current project. :)
It's still in the writing/planning stage, a bit further along since last time, but still quite a ways off. I have a feeling that when I do end up trying to get this to look the way I want, I'll have to have some outside help on the illustrations. I'd obviously LOVE to get it published and maybe even have a short run at the least... But more realistically I'll just make a new seperate blog for it and post it in "issues" that I would add one every so often...perhaps even build a site and make a mailing list, the whole deal. I'm having an absolute blast rewriting and editing it all and planning out and now re-sketching all the storyboards and brainstorming different angles and such to further get across visually the tone and feel of the story.

And now an update on life:
I'm totally enjoying life right now...yeah, let me repeat that 'cuz it felt really weird typing and reading back, haha. I'm totally enjoying life right now. As I write this all, please know that I have a big smile on my face too. :D

Some random tidbits and recommendations for whoever cares...
Music albums I'm currently listening to:
'Oracular Spectacular' by MGMT
'Black Ice' by AC/DC
'Neon Bible' by Arcade Fire
'Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces' by Seether
'Comatose' by Skillet

Movies I've watched (or re-watched) lately and enjoyed:
Burn After Reading (Really fun and funny movie)
The Evil Dead trilogy (Amazing old school horror with slapstick gore effects)
30 Days of Night (Fantastic transition from paper to film and a great horror film too)
Pineapple Express (All around fun, and hilarious movie. Danny McBride, james Franco, and Craig Robinson push this movie straight through great and settle right into amazing)
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (A fun follow up to the first, and just as with the first one, nothing spectacular, but a good time waster...plus Hellboy and Abesapien sing along to "Can't Smile Without You", come on, pure gold, haha)
In Bruges (fantastic movie, just watch it)
Shoot 'Em Up (An hour and a half of the cheesiest one liners and nonstop action and the coolest gun battle scenes in plenty of bad-ass scenarios)
Almost Famous (Another fantastic movie that I can't do justice by describing)
Tropic Thunder (Amazing cast, amazing dialogue, amazing action, let the hilarity ensue)
WALL-E (Very cute animated love story)
American Psycho (Absolute insanity, haha, that's all I can say)
Into the Wild (Thank so much to Silly Girl for giving the nod to me about it, an absolutely beautiful film :) )

P.S. - Inglorious Basterds on August 21, 2009! :) I'm so stoked! Tarantino NEVER fails to impress!
