The Lamentation

Uploaded by warnermusicjapan on Feb 16, 2011

Well I didn't go blow the bank at the Black Friday sales this year. Not that anybody would expect me to. I did splurge on a $10 pair of earbuds ($5 as soon as my discount comes back to me as a refund) and 2 sticks of memory for $30. That's about as materialistic as I got this week. I was so down on myself, and in general, anxiety-stricken about going outside I camped out at home all weekend. It made for a neurotic weekend. I've been Roman Muradov's tweets. I guess he and I are on the same wavelength.

I watched Conan (2011), The Big Lebowski, Willard (2003), The True Story of Troy and an episode of Pete and Pete this past week. I read a few pages of Ross Campbell's Shadow Eyes, and listened to most of Episode 6 of Boy Howdy. I went and got Son of Rambow after looking into Hugo, and also recently acquired the works of Milo Manara, The Savage Sword of Conan, and G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra.

I learned about a bunch of cool BBC2 tv shows from this Dean Trippe poster. Now I want to watch Luther, Sherlock, and Being Human, as well as catching up on Doctor Who and The Misfits.

What Not is a good blog to start following. Ghibli Feast is a delicous flickr to start following. Artist Spaces: Where They Draw is an exciting tumblr to start following. Here is good arts also by Coleman Engle.



I did these sketches while watching Conan; I just worked up the colored bit in Sai before posting this. Maybe I'll see this one through. I started doing some research based on the concept of "premature sense of accomplishment". I am trying to investigate the correlation with the premature sense of defeat, and the roles they play in motivation. I wonder sometimes why I can finish menial tasks with a strong sense of discipline, yet struggle to apply the same sense of perseverance to more important, more complex tasks. That will pretty much be on my mind this week.

I am your special Island.

Hames is a guy who makes chiptune music. If you've been paying attention you'd know I love chiptune music. I discovered him through his twitter friend Lexxercise (Andrea Douglas)who was recently tweeting about D&D stuff with Dresdencodak.

Similarly, Kate Beaton's Lois Lane comics were inspired by this Dean Trippe/Daniel Krall Lois Lane story which I discovered after the fact. Do you ever feel like everything important is connected? Oooooooh!

On April 29th, Googlevideo goes off the air and you'll end up missing out on all this fine programming. I know, I know---It's sad to see things fizzle out of existence, and in the current rut of the world economy it seems like more things will go before things get back on an even keel. Or will they ever be back on an even keel? What the heck is a keel anyway?

I can relate to being this geeky. I can't, however, pretend to be as organized as sexy nerd girl appears to be--bouncing from topic to topic, having fully digested every bit of everything she loves, still finding the time to reinterpret, recycle, or reproduce those things in her steadily updated blogosphere. Instead you get this mash potato and cheesy mac slop I've devoted myself to for the last two and a quarter years. Thanks for staying tuned anyway. You win a prize. It's a drawing. Just drop me a line with an idea you want to see me sketch, and it's yours as soon as you give me an address (any address p.o. boxes are fine too) to send it off to. This offer is limited to the first 5 responders.
