Current Stuff!

Alright!  Time to write about what the hell is going on here!

So, some crappy things have been going on in my life lately.  Grandmother has terminal cancer and about a month left, my godfather was rushed to the emergency room for breathing problems, after a pleasant year and three quarters the Tyson and I ended the relationship.

But! With all crappy things usually some good things come with it.  I went to Montreal and and took some nice photos (even decided that I will one day move there), got some news saying that I might be going to sunny Vancouver for the Canadian Country Music Awards on videography-related business, I will most likely be getting a table at some music convention deal pimping my wares and giving out cupcakes, and I might be going to New York in November just for the hell of it.

Notebookery: I’ve been informed that the notebook has arrived in Michigan as of Wednesday.  By Monday we should have a scan.  A big problem I’m feeling with Notebookery is the stagnation in between contributors.  I think I may add a couple of things like short interviews with contributors, samples of their art and maybe just some freakin’ music.  I dunno.  Also, it seems the only way I can send an e-mail to over 70 people is to start up a google groups account and get you all to sign up.  More on that Later.

Comics: I’m working on a script for the Edward comic I mentioned a while ago.  I still haven’t found an artist, though I’m just writing it up because I miss that little weirdo and his bodyguard.  As for the reading of comics, I haven’t had much of a chance.  When I was in Montreal I picked up Welcome To Hoxford and soon intend on picking up Batman: The Long Halloween.

Dose: I’ve been meaning to do a review on Dose for a while and regret that I haven’t yet.  I will in the next day or two when I am at home and have it in my hands.  But right now I can tell you that it’s really really really good and they’ve included a Warren Ellis-inspired Scooby-Doo and you should go and buy it right now.

Other Work: I’m writing and taking some photographs.  Am also starting work on a bible for an animated series I’ve been pondering for years.  I’m going to save up some money and get a nice artist and get that fucker developed.

Bah.  I’m off for now.  Here’s an old comic that I wrote ages ago.  God Nathan and I were fucked up.  Still are.

Ugh.

Sorry, I know I’ve been neglecting this blog.  I haven’t had the time for writing lately.  Been working at a publicity company part time and attempting to do things.

More to come soon.  Promise.

Nikola Tesla Facts

by in People I Know, Personal and tagged | Permalink

Wow…things happen quite fast on the internet.

So you all know about the Chuck Norris Facts, right?  “Chuck Norris can divide by zero” and all that?  Well…apparently those jokes are becoming popular again.  I got annoyed and just for the hell of it, gave Tesla as an alternative to all those Chuck Norris fans.  After that an explosion of replies came forth all with their own “Tesla Facts”.  I laughed, contributed a couple of my own and then went back to the Jazz Festival going on here in Montreal.  When I got back I found even MORE.  I did the same.  Posted a couple of my own and then went to see the marvelous Ben Harper.  Then I got back again and found that a website had been made by Inventrix.  And now I don’t know whether to hope or dread that this becomes popular.

The site is www.nikolateslafacts.com

Some of my favorites:

Nikola Tesla does not eat. He recharges.

Nikola Tesla isn’t afraid of lightning storms BECAUSE HE CREATES THEM.

Nikola Tesla once turned a man into a living lightning rod with only a toothpick and a funny-looking coil.

Someone tried to mug Tesla once. All they found was ash and a glazed, terrified blue eyeball. The muggers eyes had been brown.

The only thing that can shock Nikola Tesla is Nikola Tesla.

Nikola Tesla could power a light bulb with a stern glare.

Nikola Tesla is so charged, he put 4,500,000 power plant workers into early retirement.

The Faraday cage was a failed attempt to contain the wrath of Nikola Tesla.

Tesla went back in time and shot Ben Franklin’s kite with lightning just to give the guy a break.

Underneath Nikola Tesla’s moustache is another Tesla. With a deathray.

Tesla loved cats. That’s why they’re like that.

Every time Edison used a light switch he had to ground himself with 6-inch copper spikes stuck through his feet, in fear of Tesla.

If nikola tesla rubbed a balloon on his head the moon would crash into the earth

Nikola Tesla isn’t celibate by choice. His raw electric energy would destroy any woman he becomes intimate with.

I Have Arrived In Montreal

by in Music, Travel | Permalink

After fucking HOURS of traffic, waiting, and listening to admittedly amusing conservative radio coming from America, I have arrived for the last couple of days of the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Aside from everything written in French and the fact that it’s a bloody weird dark maze, my hotel room reminds me of the one I had in Cleveland.

Right, going to collapse for now and that will be that.
