movies and moving
Walked over to Bam last night and watched Suspicion. I forgot the blurb I read claimed that it has one of the most ambiguous cliffhanger endings ever. So, the whole time I was trying to predict what would happen in the end...and instead I'll never know.
They had posters up for Inglorious Basterds, so hopefully they are playing that there too. Maybe they'll also play Ponyo and District 9...

So, I am looking for apartments with a room to rent on craigslist. 80% of the ones in the neighborhood/price range I want are female only. No one likes boys anymore.

experimenting, 01
If I am working during the day, I am mostly thinking about getting out of work and doing something else, or about going back to sleep. For some reason, at night time that changes, and instead I think of other things... ideas for images, etc. I jot them down and sometimes I do them. Even if I don't, I just got paid to have that idea, sort of.
Tonight while working I had an idea for a series of 2 images. I started experimenting with it before putting time into the real thing. Here's a glimpse, 5 minutes in.

sometimes, even though you have a light table that is bigger than half of your desk, you still want to kick back and relax while you work. luckily, mine is pretty light.
google voice
got an email invite to google voice today. was searching through the available phone numbers, and i turned this one down:
sorry patrick.
sorry patrick.

i've been wanting to pick this up at my local comic book store, and was checking it out on amazon. for some reason, someone may pay more for a used copy?
daybreak
a couple years ago, while still living in greenville, nc, i went to free comic book day. i stumbled across this reggie-12 comic:
it was free, the art was nice, so i brought it home. it was a fun read. i loved the reggie-12 robot, so i even did some drawings of him that i never completely finished (pretty certain i can find them on my harddrive if i look). the comic was slightly larger than a standard issue, so i don't think it ended up in a longbox, but it is somewhere. after reading this comic, i did something abnormal: i didn't look into the artist/writer/anything further. no idea why.
anyways, flash forward to this year. i hear about MoCCA, and see that a couple people i like will be there. so i went. while walking around, i come across a guy selling 3 volumes of a comic called "daybreak". the interior art looks neat, and they are not super expensive, so i bought the whole trilogy. while looking up an image for this post, i saw that the same guy did both reggie-12 and daybreak. i bought both without knowing.
last week i read all three, then re-read them the next night.
daybreak does a thing i've never seen before in comics. it makes me (or whoever is reading) a character in this book. the plot is an unexplained post-apocalypse style world with these light-hating monster things. they are just black shapes. anyways, you/me are a survivor of this, and the other main character runs around with you trying to survive. it's really neat. but, each book ends where you want to read more. while at mocca, brian ralph mentioned there may be a 4th book, which would be nice, but i'd love to see it going for a while longer.
you can buy volume one here, but i know you won't.

The coolest looking thing on the internet. I love the internet.
One time, a really long time ago, I came to NYC and waited around the back stage door of the David Letterman studio. They had this kiddie pool filled with cornstarch and water, that you could sink into if you moved slowly, but if you moved fast, you could run across it. They were using it for stupid human tricks, and the mixture blew my mind. I took a cup full and played with it probably all day long.
I saw this today. The water patterns are really great... but the strange blobs from the cornstarch/water are even better.

that's weird
one time, while watching the trailer for "Ghost Ship", Bret Atkins' dad saw the part where a shattered chandelier rose from the floor, reconstructed itself, and rehung on the ceiling all in one piece. He supposedly said out loud "That's weird".
I think he wrote portions of the script for Ponyo, which I really want to see.
