| It's probably rude to bother people with talk of your dreams, but I usually have some real good ones. Tell us what you think. I was jogging naked around Welland, over near my old elementary school, Gordon. At first I thought I should be freaked out, but then I figured, hey, I'm naked and I'm jogging. This is kind of cool. So I was waving to people, taking it easy, and I was right near Maple park when this bus pulled over. These two guys who came off the bus started snickering, and one of them pushed me. So, we started a fight right in front of the apartment complex, but all he knew was Kata, so I beat him. I helped him off the ground, and invited him to train with me. Halfway through the training, he told his girlfriend that he was leaving her to become a Master, and me and her friend went to console her. I wondered where my pupil was going to go, and when next we would meet. Then I saw him in bed, except he was a robot, and a Ferengi child rushed through the door, asking him why he had called so early. The robot-pupil told him not to fall asleep with dishwasher detergent bottles in his bed, and the robot-pupil raised his hands. There were bottles stuck to his fingers. The Ferengi took his hands from behind his back and said "Now you tell me!" Steven August 6, 2001 11:40 pm |
| I won't talk about work. I won't talk about work. I won't talk about work. No one's said anything about it, but you may have noticed that this site is pretty ugly, design wise. There are two good reasons for this. One, I don't have the time. I'm trying to do more comic work, writing for my other site, and job searching (...n't talk about work. I won't tal...). Second, I want to try and make this site look something like a sketchbook. Loose, breezy, a little messy. Nothing for me or you to worry about. Saying that, you'll notice I have included new logos, lettering and a new way to access the journal. I'm quite happy with the lo-fi look. Since I neglected to include a link of any kind yesterday, today I will include two. Maakies is one of my favourite modern comic strips. The art is beautiful and the writing is a Drunkard's Delight. Never have Low and High Art combined to create so stunning a piece of vulgarity. This link is to a Scott McCloud Reinventing Comics parody that made me pee my pants. No, really. Just a trickle, but it was still pee. And so the slow indoctrination of norms into geeks continues... Steven August 8, 2001 1:23 am |

| Let's Go Passion! Thank God for the power of Passion. If not for this invention of modern Earth society, surely we would be slaves to the Super Paleolithic People right now. I'm assuming that you have seen the Lost Gekigengar Movie (above left). If not, sorry if I spoiled everything, but you really should have waited in line overnight like the rest of us. And if you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, I strongly suggest you check out the anime title Martian Successor Nadesico immediately. In other pop culture obsessive news, I spent the better part of the day thinking about the brilliant simplicity of the winged wonder of the Justice League, Hawkman (above right). Blame Kevin, who bought me an armful of really bad comics today. Hawkman fascinates me. He's never been done properly, I think. Even when Kubert was drawing him, they muddled him up with Egyptian archaeologists and Hawk Planets. That's all well and good, but I think a big, silent warrior with only a pair of wings and a giant mace is something you should never be able to mess up. They should let me write the guy. He'd be the Conan of the DCU. Full blown Otaku alert. I won't incriminate myself further with all the other juicy tidbits of geekdom I've been up to. Let's just say they involve Todd McFarlane documentaries, Godzilla fanfics, and juicy Degrassi news. Steven August 9, 2001 1:52 am |
