I'm back, for now.

      I think you should visit KUCI, cuz I'm the Marketing Director there now so it's my job to get the word out. Visit!

      I can't get Momus music out of my head. "Stephano Zirelli" is the current culprit.

      I finally read some "Sin City" by Frank Miller. I got "A Dame to Kill For" a couple of weeks ago but didn't get around to actually reading it for a little while. I'm not wild about noir or sexandviolence in general, but I just love FM's stuff. The art's amazing. I feel stupid for not reading it sooner. I can't start blowing money on completing my FM library, though. Must save and only spend on necessities.
Must save.
Must.

      I'm helping with training at KUCI tonight, as the new training director plans to miss half of the class. What fun! Whiny trainees! wooo.
      I hope some of them are fun and laugh at my jokes.

      I'm all excited about this year's Comic-Con, even though it continues to be way too Hollywood. But that means that both Billy Boyd and Jude Law will be there, so that makes me happy. I prob'ly won't even get to see either of them, what with mobs of fanatics and all, but knowing that they're close will make me happy. Also: the aforementioned FM, Neil Gaiman, and Dave McKean.
      David's excited that Jessica Biel will be there. I got him hooked on "7th Heaven" a couple of years ago. She's totally his type, too. Well, except that Keira Knightly is even more his new type due to the accent. We're all suckers for foreign accents (my weakness being that of the Scottish variety).

      I like my new blue jacket. It's nice. I have another one just like it, only yellow. The blue is prettier than the yellow. That yellow's kind of faded and sad.

Yikes!

      Can't blog. Preparing to move.
      BTW, if you know anyone who needs a roommate or graphic designer in the San Francisco area, please let me know.

      I've been a totally lazy bum this week. Therefore, all I have for you are links:

Oh, the joy of imaging!

      I'm so proud of this one. Thanks to The Simpson's Archive for the perfect quote.

      Shanna and Barry are in town! Barry's gonna try to get us tickets to the Hootenanny for this Saturday while Shanna's off being a bride's maid for Shana. What fun!

Nope...
much too busy enjoying TWoP's pixel challenge to do anything useful.

An image! Oh, my!

      I think that somebody at Fox marketing has a twisted sense of humor, as evidenced by the banner ads on their site for The Swan.

      Anyways, Shana's bridal shower yesterday was pleasant. Probably the first bridal shower I've attended that I enjoyed. I usually just tag along with my Mom and am the youngest one there, and rarely know anybody. Leslie's was nice, but I felt a bit awkward having not really met Leslie before and having no clue about her family.
      There were about a dozen of us at Shana's party, with a good mix of family, friends, younger, older, et cetera. Everyone was cool and nice and friendly, and Michelle made an amazing dessert: hot cupcakes (fresh from the oven) with gooey middles and vanilla ice cream! Mmmmm. Shana's Mom and grandmother also brought pork and rice, and cucumber salad. Lots of good conversation, and I look forward to seeing them this Sunday at the wedding.

      My whole family saw Fahrenheit 9/11 this weekend. Mom and I went to an afternoon matinee, and Dad and David attended the last showing of Saturday night. As I expected, it made me cry, repeatedly. It's a good film and I highly recommend it, but it was quite upsetting. The movie's a good antidote to corporate media.
      Inspired by F9/11, I was involved in a discussion this past weekend that began with someone disagreeing with me and insisting on sources to back up my statement. When some history books were pulled out to back-up my statement, the person who had disagreed with me said that the books supported their ideas, and then went on to re-state my original argument in different words. Both logic and debate really should be required of all high school students. That might help political discussions a bit. So that, y'know, I don't just sigh and give up and rejoice that no shouting or threats of violence were involved.

Rather funny, but still evil

      My Dad works at Boeing. He recently got a new lanyard for his security badge. It has the following printed on it: "Recommitment to Ethics Day".

Prettier than poetry
Stronger than fidelity

       The new KUCI quarter started early this morning and the whole world hasn't come crashing down on my head yet. Yay!

       I found out that I have to buy the new "Entertainment Weekly". Christian Bale's on the cover to promote the new Batman movie. I'll be so happy to finally see that when it's done!

       Over the weekend I had this dream about going to Comic Con (although it was really more like Cousin Con, but that's not the point). Along with many differences about the convention that made me happy, they also had art on display. The actual San Diego Comic Con does have an art exhibit and whatnot. It's basically fanart up for silent auction, which is all well and good.
       In my dream, though, it was more like a contemporary fine art exhibition. My favorite piece was "Generic Mini Mart". It was a full-size (albeit kind of small) mini mart with clerks and everything right in the middle of the convention center floor. What made it different from a regular mini mart was the complete lack of brands. None of the products (which were all for sale) were brand name goods. No Shrek 2 Pepsi cans or anything. It was rather calming and made the dream!me laugh. So v. unnatural, though. I just had to share.

Up Goes the Last Playlist for the Forseeable Future, sigh

Music is a wonderful thing.

      South Park just keeps getting better and better. I suggest you watch it whenever it's on.

      I can't get the new One Ring Zero album, "As Smart As We Are", out of my head. I really need to learn the lyrics to those songs. That'd make my life easier.
