I'm going to only write in bullet points from now on.
• I've almost filled up a sketchbook! Man, I've been working on this one since I was in college. Did I mention I'm really bad with sketchbooks? Anyway, I've been doing tons of life drawing recently, so it's been filling up quick. I feel pretty bad about not doing more fun, creative sketches like Eleanor, but I can barely bring myself to draw in sketchbooks at all for some reason. Here's some sketches I did at an old-timey music last weekend.
• Hey high school Drew, fuck you for not listening to country music. Back in high school, I would brag about my eclecticism by saying I'd listen to any genre of music... except country, of course. To ho ho. Well, I was an idiot back then. We've been listening to so much country radio recently. On a related note:
• Fuck anybody who dismisses "the south" as an entire entity. Whoops, you're a bigot!
• Most terrifying Christmas song I've ever heard: "Ding-a-Ling, the Christmas Bell" by Lynn Anderson. This song is supposed to be about an anthopomorphized bell that rings off-key and is mocked by all of the other bells, with requisite Rudolph-style day-saving at the end. But there's this repeated refrain of "Ding a Ling's" chime, and it's in this weird minor key that sounds almost exactly like the theme from "Halloween." I think you can listen to it here, if you're curious.
• We saw almost every single cartoonist in North Georgia at a pretty cool art show the other day. Did we bother to get off our asses and submit something to the show? No. No we did not.
• Best two mincomics we've gotten in the mail this week: Dregs by Coleman Engle, Hey Four-Eyes #2 by Robyn Chapman et al. WOW!
Hey, does anybody who's versed in Macs and iTunes know if it's possible to throw a bunch of music onto a DVD and delete it off your computer, but somehow let iTunes know that the music is going to be on that DVD from now on? Quickly and easily?
