(no subject)
I just found out that Drew Hayes died on March 25th, 2007. He was 37. This has destabilized me. Drew was the creator of the comic book, Poison Elves, a book I've been reading since I was 18. (that's 12 years, for the math impaired). There hadn't been any issues for a couple of years because Drew had a bunch of health complications arise from a nasty bunch of side affects from his sleep apnea. He got on the mend, and planned to resume the book quarterly, but had a heart attack whilst suffering from pneumonia this year and died. I am bummed.
If you have the resources and the curiosity about the book, you can find the TPBs on Amazon. It's a great fucking read. there's a style to it that's fun and irreverent and lets one pretend to be the snarling little misanthrope they sometimes long to be.
And funnily, it was something Drew said in the Starting notes of issue #46 that prompted me to pursue the girl who eventually became my wife.
So I kinda owe the guy for a good portion of the happy moments in my life, and now he's dead.
Bye Drew.
Later that Day...
Destabilizing moment #2
At work I explained to someone I just hired how the Supreme Court decided the 2000 election... she said "wow, how do you know all this?!?" My reply? "Well, I read alot... oh, and at the time, I was 24. you were 12..." For the first time, I really felt the concept of aging... it really fucking sucked, I'm ready for the immortal kiss, Lestat...
Destabilizement Numero Tres:
I have been utilizing the name Sebastian Darke as a pen name/online moniker/stage name for years.... Some fucking British children's author stole my fucking name!
I have had it up to my fucking eyeballs with May 19th. I'm getting drunk now.
Oh yeah, and I'm gonna get a Poison Elves tattoo as well. not today... Gods, with today's bullshit, Luse would come out looking like the donkey from Hee Haw
