So? So? Suck your toe all the way to Mexico!
Hey all, it's been awhile since I rapped at ya, but I been real busy.
I heard a bunch of cool new music releases this year. I'm going to compile songs from those releases for a download, if anyone is into that. I'll work on that tomorrow because the ladyfriend and I are heading down to Richfield to hang out with Z-Diggs, K-Town, and the Kruiser family in a bit.
Here are books and comics that I read this year:
1. The Seventeen Solutions: Bold Ideas for Our American Future by Ralph Nader. Finished 2/18.
2. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck words/pictures by Don Rosa. Finished 3/4.
3. Sullivan's Sluggers words by Mark Andrew Smith, pictures by James Stokoe. Finished 3/4.
4. Sandman Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes words by Neil Gaiman, pictures by Sam Kieth, Mike Dringenberg and Malcolm Jones III. Finished ???
5. Sandman Volume 2: The Doll's House words by Neil Gaiman, pictures by Mike Dringenberg, Malcolm Jones III, Chris Bachalo, Michael Zulli and Steve Parkhouse. Finished 5/24.
6. A People's History of Sports in the United States by Dave Zirin. Finished 6/30.
7. The Extra 2%: How Wall Street Strategies Took a Major League Baseball Team from Worst to First by Jonah Keri. Finished 7/8.
8. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Volume 3 words/art by lots of different people. Finished 8/17.
9. X-Men: Age of Apocalypse Volume 4 words/art by lots of different people. Finished 8/20.
10. Infinity Gauntlet words by Jim Starlin, art by George Perez and Ron Lim. Finished 8/24.
11. The Cuckoo's Calling by "Robert Galbraith." Finished 9/12.
12. Superman: Red Son words by Mark Millar, pictures by Dave Johnson and Killian Plunkett. Finished 9/28.
13. The Unwritten Volume 1: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished 10/2.
14. The Unwritten Volume 2: Inside Man words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished 10/5.
15. The Unwritten Volume 3: Dead Man's Knock words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished 10/6.
16. The Unwritten Volume 4: Leviathan words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished ???
17. The Unwritten Volume 5: On To Genesis words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished ???
18. The Unwritten Volume 6: Tommy Taylor and the War of Words words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished 11/1.
19. The Unwritten Volume 7: The Wound words by Mike Carey, art by Peter Gross. Finished 11/4.
20. East of West Volume 1 words by Jonathan Hickman, art by Nick Dragotta. Finished 11/15.
21. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Finished 12/28.
Now that I'm done (sorta...mostly...send me my fucking diploma already) with grad school, I feel like my brain is in a sound enough state to read more word-books along with all of the picture-books I read. Not that comics aren't great and blah, blah, blah, but I'm seriously sitting on stacks of books that I have purchased over the years and have not yet read. And books are great! I'm nearly halfway through Oliver Twist, and I'll get back to that once I've finished the last two books Hunger Games trilogy (I'm not quite sure why I decided to take a break from Oliver Twist to read the trilogy, but it probably has to do with how much I enjoyed the first two movies and, duh, hottie-boom-bottie Jennifer Lawrence). From there, who knows!
Be safe tonight.
Live responsibly and lovingly. Be positive and creative. You're beautiful. Peace.
Yours, etc.,
