Post an Entry
http://paulscheible.livejournal.com/
I have a new entry up over at my "serious" journal. This one is about Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, a beautiful and distinctly aesthetically Japanese comic that merges a contemporary medium, a futuristic setting, and classical aesthetics.
I may follow up with a different entry on the other end of the spectrum by the end of the day, as well.
No update in a while, eh? Let's see-
~I have a job. I'm doing banquet bartending at the 100th Bomb Group, a restaurant/banquet hall up by the airport. The money's not bad but I'm working like 2 days a week. I have realized that I'm going to need to find something else.
~I saw No Country for Old Men and read the book immediately thereafter. Now that I know for sure that Cormac McCarthy is pretty awesome, I picked up All the Pretty Horses from the library and am going through that right now.
~I also tore through Richard Dawkins(on whom I have a shameless man-crush)'s The God Delusion. Overall it was pretty good. There were a number of arguments or sections that didn't seem to gel very well, didn't make their cases as strongly as he seemed to think they did, but there was a lot more there that worked very well.
~Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of my mom's passing, with her birthday 6 days previous. But I don't really feel like talking about it right now, in part because I don't really feel like I have much to say about it.
~My external hard drive is having some problems, which worries me greatly. I think I may have left it on too long or something. It chokes on itself just trying to open folders and the like, when it doesn't crash right out. Speaking of crashing, I hope I can get that new computer soon, because this one is trudging along, being a real trooper, but I really don't know how long it can hold out.
~I brought home the beer we made a couple of weeks ago (we've already gone through a fourth of it, partially because of Thanksgiving). It's even better now than it was when we first got it though, having aged rather nicely in the bottle. I thought they were decent when we first got them, but now I'm actually quite pleased at how they've turned out with a little time. Much more robust, more flavor. The dark one has a ridiculous head, though, so you've got to be careful.
that's all ta-ta
