My sleeping schedule’s outta whack again. I’ve been grabbing the chance to sleep when I can, since work has been unpredictable these last couple of weeks. Lack of z’s notwithstanding, it was an okay summer. Not as eventful as last year, but nevertheless a good one. Learned a bunch about different businesses through work for the agencies. Been itching to draw and tell a story through comics again. Been questioning life and its perplexing mysteries again, too.
Anyway, some recent things:
1. Saw Sex and the City. Wow, they made it a PG-13 movie (or R-13, as it’s called in SM theaters). The deletions were annoying; still, I suppose one way for it to make money is to have it shown at SM’s cinemas, too. But then again, it’s originally geared for adults, and it’s damn puzzling to watch it with jarring cuts. Oh well. I mostly liked it, though; it wasn’t perfect, but it ran like a multi-episode marathon. I missed those characters.
2. Got some Tori Amos CDs. Thanks, Sherwin! Am enjoying the Across the Universe OST double CD Mark lent me, too, aside from the music I got last week.
3. Good comics this week: Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men, X-Force # 4, All-Star Superman # 11, New Avengers # 41, Final Crisis # 1 and Young Avengers Presents Stature. Last week, Christos Gage’s awesome Avengers: Initiative came out, too. And the summer had its share of mostly tightly written stuff, such as JSA, the first two Secret Invasion issues, Drew Goddard’s ongoing Buffy arc, and the Marvel Handbooks (the Marvel Atlas, Ultimate Handbook, and Iron Manual). It’s a great time for superheroes.
4. Been eating some chocolate pasalubong. Reese’s peanut butter cups are still fricking addictive. Sweet.
5. Saw 21. Across the Universe’s Jim Sturgess is still damn charismatic and talented. And it’s funny how his character blindly follows a beckoning stranger (a classmate) from the library into another room. Weeks later, he follows the same guy, now a friend, into a restroom cubicle. It’s like he was expecting something else, really.
