Stressing The Details
► For the past couple of days I've had tension pain in my left temple. No doubt from obsessing over house and dog sitting in two weeks, having to call the landlord about 2010 rent receipts for income tax, Dean's missing all last week cause of a med screw up (again), and general anxiety about too many other things to bother mentioning.
Oh, and I made the mistake of promising a friend that I'd do some sketches for a friend of her's. What was supposed to be 3 headshots for an April Fool's website gag suddenly became prelim sketches for a comic book proposal the friend of a friend wants to pitch around. So it's a bit more important, as are the details, and since I haven't drawn in 6 years I've completely blanched.
And the March 31st deadline looms as I do nothing.
► I really don't want to house sit for 8 days. Ugh.
► The Oscars are tonight, and while I had considered watching them I ultimately decided I just don't really care. Now I love movies, and respect the validation and prestige that Academy Award nominations and wins bring to movies and the people who make them. But ultimately whether a movie won Best Picture or not doesn't influence how I feel about it. I'll continue to like the films I like and dislike the films I don't. After all, a Best Picture Oscar hasn't stopped me from hating Forrest Gump.
► Charlie Sheen on Canceled 'Two and a Half Men': I Hit Every Mark - From the article:"Well I'm not angry, I'm passionate. It's like everybody thinks I should be begging for my job back and I'm just gonna forewarn them that it's everybody else that's going to be begging me for their job back."
How do you define over indulged entitlement complex? Always refreshing to hear a guy making $1.8 million an episode spout off when his antics have cost the jobs and paychecks of all the crew and production people struggling to make mortgage payments.
Edit: Charlie Sheen Wants $3M an Episode, Semi-Apologizes to Boss; Spokesman Resigns - Well that's nice. Talk about a disconnect from reality.
► Kneel Before Viggo!
Snyder's top choice for General Zod? - While it'd be cool casting, apparently it's more wishful thinking than anything. I'd still rather they introduce some villains other than Lex Luthor or Zod. Introduce audiences to more of Superman's rogues.

Quote of the Moment
[visiting her dentist]
Liz: Oh come on, you’re not really a doctor.
Dr. Kaplan: Well if that’s how you feel then you’re not really a patient. And people who aren’t patients don’t get toys from the treat bucket.
Liz: But there’s a Batman in there!
Dr. Kaplan: Yeah and if you wind him up, he swims in the bath.
Liz: Damn you, Kaplan!
