Saturday, May 17, 2003 High Concept: It's like The Front Page meets The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz! I haven't been around much here at ol' Blogville. And for this I apologize. I've thrown only the most slender of bones to all y'all, in part because I've just been kinda goddam busy. For those of you who've never seen one, here's a link to the comix review column I write with Brian roughly twice a month. I did this last week, which accounts for most of my time, and this week I worked overtime to cover next week. Edi and I leave tomorrow for what we hope will be a relaxing few days in Reno. I'm totally stoked because it'll be great to get away, and it'll be especially great to gorge myself on the best bread pudding I've ever had, as well as tons of oysters, and lie around with my lovely girlfriend and try and find a good movie to order off the hotel pay-per-view. But I pretty much have only had two days off over the last seven, so the other non-CE writing has been put by the wayside, I'm afraid.I'm sure this will also be the case when I get home--I don't have to go to the law firm gig for a week after I get out of here tonight, but I've got a newsletter to crank out between then and now, and also my usually Friday shift at the store. This is the other reason why I haven't been writing recently. I've been incredibly fucking boring. Fortunately, for the writing that's neither here (blog) nor there (comic store) I may have found a nice resource recently in Grand Text Auto, a group blog all about computer generated works, from hypertext fiction to video games. Look for some interesting stuff to turn up on the research end of the blog soon. I also finished reading Masters of Doom in an incredibly short amount of time. Spending fifteen bucks on a book that gives me maybe three paragraphs worth of good material: is this what research is like? If so, I think it's time I make sure my library card is up to date and start hitting the stacks, because there wasn't a lot of depth there. And yes, I still haven't seen The Matrix: Reloaded. I kinda can't believe it either. If I can get away from the oysters and the girlfriend, maybe I'll get a shot at it. posted by Jeff Lester | 7:19 PM | |
