Bone

I got a hold of a complete set of the Bone comics by Jeff Smith, after hearing that it was on the list of top 10 comics of all time I decided to give it a go. Apparently this guy lives in C-bus too, so that explains why I've heard of him.

I'll probably end up giving the books a second chance, the story is good, the problem is that I don't really like "everyman" type characters. They just seem too blah. It doesn't help that Fone Bone is a completely white and plain looking character, although I will admit that it's clever to make the "everyman" blank.

All things considered, I definitely don't hate the book, the story was great. It was more of an eye opener for me of how particular I can be about the writing process. I'm going to have to challenge myself to write an "everyman", just to get past this. I'm already dreading it, I can just imagine what it's like to try to write a character like that. So I have to give Jeff Smith props on that.

Yeah, I think I would like it a lot more the second time around.

Life, Love, and Other Bullshit

Its been a while since I've done an actual entry.

I've been battling with some weird sick for about 4-5 days now, first it was just fever and vomiting, now I'm pretty sure it's a fever and a cold or something. My throat hurts bad, just glad I stocked up on chloraseptic tabs.

My dreams are coming faster now and more intense, I just woke up from Morpheus and I saving Artemis. Weird as shit. He always seems to have some bullshit sarcasm that makes me laugh. One of the past entries I think I wrote down 5 of them, but the actual number of dreams that I've had in 2 weeks since the appointment is more like 8. Haha, Morpheus was dressed up as Batman in one of them and was not as amused as I was.

Eww, I'm coughing up shit.

Anyways, Samm had the idea that she wanted to do a youtube series about a superhero. So last night was pretty interesting. I already know that the first ep. is going to be bad, but hopefully we'll hear back from other people wanting in on it and we'll get a bigger cast. It's based around two sisters, one is a bitch the other is ditzy. The ditzy one has an alter-ego of "Good Guy" despite being a woman. Guess who I play? My costume is pretty fun, and I run around with a foam sword...yeah getting those shots was interesting.

Random chick in all black and heeled boots running up and down the street with a foam sword with a girl and a camera following actually attracted attention.... I guess the song for the running scenes is going to be the Gummibar do you think I'm sexy. Samm was doing the editing and voice overs last night when I crashed. I don't know how far she got.
