I am traveling through time

Hi, I am traveling through time. Or at least through the archives of time. It has been probably a solid month since I started working my way through all of Nedroid's livejournal archives, and I've stumbled upon some wonderful, heartwarming, outrageously funny moments in his correspondence with fans and friends. Simultaneously I've been going through my own google search archives and pinpointed what I was doing during that span of time. This is kind of like a memory jog, but also like one of those split stream movies where we follow two or more characters. You know, something like Sliding Doors, Time Code, or Trading Places.

Anyway, I don't have much to link dump this weekend since I've been soaking up what's left of the summer. Had some barbecue, swam, and played guitar with a lot of good company. As another season drifts into the greyness of memory I just wanted to take stock of what's been going on, what I am anticipating, and what I hope will come. Do you ever do this?

http://www.hanaroda.net/comics/ - Hyeondo Park did an amazing comic about losing his dog, which I stumbled and favorited over 2 years ago.

http://radiomaru.com/page/26/ - Bryan O' Malley at one point was heavily focused on finishing his 5th volume of Scott Pilgrim as shooting began on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Vol. 6 and the movie have at this moment been out for 2 weeks.

I am at this moment reading volume 6 of Scott Pilgrim, anxiously awaiting Octopus Pie vol. 1, and Remake by Lamar Abrams. I learned about Remake and Adhouse books through Radiomaru's blog archive. Other things I gleaned from his blog were: Donjon by Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim, these cool bands and songs, these cool books, and that he is good friends with Brandon Graham, whose King City vol. 1 I enjoyed immensely.

Hey you guys! I'm also getting better at playing the guitar! I should make a video or somethin'. Well, I've got a bunch of other stuff to do so that will have to wait. Cross your fingers and wish that I'm able to get Windows 7 installed in my rig soon.

Smell you later,

Del

rundrummer — February 03, 2006 — Gene Krupa takes over the drums for a band and goes on a ride

http://www.stumptowncomics.com/ The stumptown comics festival was this weekend. I didn't go, and as usual I am left with emotions of longing and loss. I need to get out of my rut and be someplace some of the time.

In the meantime these wonderful projects are ongoing:

the uniform project

Also there are these wonderful things keeping me connected to the artist paradise I seek:

(end intermission)

I discovered Archer this weekend and summarily decided it is excellent by virtue of its hilarious cast.

I also caught up with the latest chapter of meredith gran - octopus pie and realized how wonderful this little web comic actually is.

I am now seriously (yeah right) considering developing a
kickstarter project. What I really need is a kick in the pants, however.

A Princess of Mars has been on my playlist for the last 2 weeks. I am only 2/3 of the way through since I blank out every other chapter and need to skip backward. I'm not sure where I got these Marc Nelson narrated files, but they are par excellence. Is this the same Marc Nelson of Arthur fame? Oh wait, I see that its Marc Brown who did that.

I found myself recently reading about euhemerus after finding out about his take on the Greek myths (especially the sirens). I knew there had to be a word for modern demythologizing; well one that sounds literary anyway.

I found Smilla's Sense of Snow by chance and now I am captivated. I'm going to finish watching it tonight.
