Two Thousand Words Later...  

I'm finished with my half of the New Comics for the CE newsletter (normally I do the whole thing, but I'll be gone next week when the Previews blackline comes in, so I just did the stuff where Bri gets advance info via email). I've got a Fanboy to get out of the way too, but that'll have to wait until Saturday night at the earliest. For now, it's get myself cleaned up so I can spend some quality time with the self-described "moody girlfriend."

This nonstop Classical music thing is working out okay, but I'd trade it in a heartbeat for The Moody Blues' "Knights In White Satin," which I've been abnormally fixated on for about two weeks now. There's a hilarious Italian version that gets played at the Italian joint Edi and I frequently go to, a cover that is even more outrageously over-the-top and dramatic than the original. But recently, I had two consecutive days when a radio station played the original while I was driving and there's a thick section there in the middle that's like being on really good drugs. Don't ask me how, I just know that's what I feel. So even though this Dvorak "Silent Woods" thing is okay (this music is exactly the stuff they used to play all the time in the Tincan Mailman, the used bookstore in Arcata, and listening to it makes me feel like I should be thumbing through musty paperbacks) but it's no pretentious, working-too-hard '60s quasi-psychedlia.
