I don’t know what’s going on, but I had a half-dozen spam comments on the blog today that I had to delete. Not just on a single entry, but seemingly random entries with random names & email addresses. Maybe someone has figured out how to outmaneuver the spam-blocker I have installed.
So I was just talking to Monte & Mae & found out Rollerball has changed their name to Rllrbll. They’ve been using the no vowel thing as short hand for probably ten years now, so I guess that’s why I hadn’t noticed the change. Working on stuff for their free EP & I’ll need to update their webpage as well.
Did some drawing tonight for Vigilant #2 (the artist for #1 backed out & I think it might just be a two issue thing, it certainly needs a second issue to give the story closure). It seemed odd to me trying to draw a non-stickfigure sequential art thing. I think the last time I tried was in 2004 unless you count Small Art Series which is completely abstract.
So I’ve been watching Tales of Tomorrow a bit on YouTube since I finished watching The Outer Limits. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I know it’s from 1951 & historically important & influential to science fiction stuff, but I’m six episodes in & haven’t seen one that I’m really sucked in by. My mom told me the show from that era that I should watch is one called Lights Out, so maybe I’ll try that one soon.
Last Night’s Dream:
I’m hanging out with a girl I’m friends with & she casually mentions she was struck by lightning when you were four years old & she remembers how it felt right be fore hand with her scalp starting to crawl & her trying to shake the itch out like a bug. I’m confused at her never telling me the story before. I tell her, “If I’d ever been struck by lightning I’d introduce myself to people as “Brian John Mitchell, the dude that got struck by lightning.”" Also we both have rural Mississippi accents for some reason which the girl pulls off as endearing, but on me just sounds like white trash.
There is what seems to be an anti-haunted house in that there are always more people coming out of it than going into it.
I am on some kind of drug (the feeling is similar to the state of mind I get when my temperature breaks 103) & there are some metal sculptures that I walk to that from the distance I thought were cacti.
I have this same problem playing the accordion. by the time i’m practiced enough to record it, i’m too tired to do it.
I hear Dick Contino used to spend time doing push ups to be able to play his accordion properly. But yeah, accordion is a freaking stamina game for sure & that muscle in my chest where my right arm hooks in will hurt for three days if I play for a couple hours….
