Set to Sea p. 45
If you’ve ever wondered what American-style English sounds like to non-speakers – the actual sound and flow of it, without the content – this Italian “pop song” is probably as close as you’re going to get without some sort of terrible brain trauma. Also, the song is pretty great, it wouldn’t sound out of place on that “Nuggets” anthology.
Quiet times around here. Eleanor’s working hard getting pieces together for a joint Giant Robot art show she’s doing in January. I’m plugging away on Set to Sea. We’ve been drinking lots of hot toddys in these cold and rainy days.
Yeesh, Christmas is sneaking up on me fast. Time to declare war on this here Christmas.
Currently reading: To the Lighthouse (Virginia Woolf)
Currently listening: Fear and Whiskey (Mekons)/The Age of Faith (Will Durant audiobook)
I got to brag a little last night at a X-mas party to a buddy of mine.
He said he saw a cartoonist from SCAD in an issue of PRINT (I think that's the mag) and couldn't remember her name… I asked if it was Eleanor, he said yes, I said I kinda know her by way of you. YAY ME!!! HA HA!
Is Eleanor gonna be at the opening of her show at Giant Robot? Me and Lisa may try to go to it opening night, but if we can't make it then we will go sometime the following week,, or at least before the show closes.
