I can't believe how soon it's May! It seemed only a few days ago that I decided to enter Script Frenzy. How did things end up by the end of April?

Well, Script Frenzy was shelved indefinitely because of the job searching. It's disappointing there hasn't been a solid opportunity yet, but I have two interviews this week and can hope things settle ( Read more... )

I was hoping to post some tidbits from today's LA Times Festival of Books panel with Mike Mignola and Jeph Loeb, but the bus was late and I missed it entirely. Boo.

Just walked in through the door, still huffing and puffing from the freezing uphill run to the house. Had one heck of a busy day today. I wasn't even thinking of going out  - Hollywood was too far to go for a protest and I really hated the traffic getting there. Then late last night I was browsing scans_daily when someone mentioned Newsrama (ie news for ( Read more... )

I'm posting this from Groundwork in Hollywood, in the company of parlance and her writing group. I've actually managed to pull out 600-plus words for the unnamed ficlet, which is great, but I've also drunk too much coffee and feeling a bit sick. *blergh*

Since I won't have the time to post this later tonight, here's the rest of my writeup on Wondercon:

I'm not sorry to say this, but CNN is absolutely shit. Ever since Fox News came on, CNN's dumped its formerly formidable news coverage in favour of shitty opinion programs masquerading as journalism. Nancy Grace, for fuck's sake. What the hell makes her deserving of air time? Speculating on live television on whether Britney Spears is mentally ( Read more... )

Hello everybody! A day back in LA and I'm still trying to get my bearings straight. San Francisco seems like a lifetime ago ( Read more... )

Interesting article on the BBC News website on France's love of comics, or as they call them 'bandes desinees', les BDs for short. BD (pronounced Bay-Day) is treated as a legitimate art form and is known as 'the ninth art'. The term includes a range of genres; in fact you may have already recognise a few. The popularity of BDs have given the world ( Read more... )

Was it good for you as it was for me, baby?

Good is a relative term, which means to me 'didn't suck'. Spent V-day entirely offline and taking care of myself, namely spending an ungodly amount on a pair of jeans and hiding out in bookstores. What could be more romantic than that? Nothing, I tell you.

Although I have to admit I was a bit squicked at ( Read more... )

Tonight's Simpsons was *nods* fantastic! Let's go down the list of what constitutes a fantastic episode, shall we:

- Poking fun at repetitive comic book covers (Death of Superman, Death of Aquaman, Death of Casper the Friendly Ghost)
- Jack Black as a hipster comic book store owner (with a girlfriend named Strawberry who has a lunchpail as a purse)
- ( Read more... )

Aww... wasn't able to watch the Clive Owen film tonight, as too busy cleaning out the kitchen. Nevermind that. I'll try tomorrow.

The BBC are currently having their 'Comics Britannia' season in which various British comic strips are spotlighted. There are 3 specially created documentary episodes scheduled to be shown on UK television; unfortunately ( Read more... )
