Photographs

Yes, photographs of two things. The first being my Watchmen painting I have been working on during the weekend, minus the blood stain because I think it looks tacky and out of place.

I still need to fix the eyes, the mouth, and the general roundness of the face though. Next up is my entire current graphic novel collection:

Pointlessness runs in the family.

I've also almost finished Promethea Book 4. It's great, but I have no idea what is happening. It feels like it's Alan Moore's way of saying: "I'm a genius, a magician, and I'm smarter than you are!" But it's still great. I enjoy it a lot, and J.H. Williams III is an excellent artist.

Once I finish Promethea, I will have to finish reading The Dark Knight Returns, Catch Me If You Can, and start Swamp Thing Vol. 3: The Curse. Then I can start Bone, hopefully.

Beautiful

I received my Amazon order today, and it is amazing. It came in two massive cardboard boxes. The Bone: One Volume Edition is the thickest book I've ever owned and is very impressive. It will definitely take me a while to get through it.

The Promethea volumes are gorgeous as well. I like that the poster version of #32 was released in Book 5. I'll be looking forward to reading it all, since what I've read is very deep.

I stopped playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (there'll probably be a rant about this tomorrow), and started watching Mr. Bean. Burnt through the first two DVDs (there are three in total), and I'm amazed that even though I've seen every episode on TV, it's still funny. My sister is watching them with me, as apparently she hasn't watched many of them before.

I just continued with Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and am up to the part where I have to fight Arcade to learn where Nightcrawler is. Bore.

Atomic Morningstar

Atomic Morningstars are cool. It is my weapon of choice when I go to kill all the babies.

My Amazon order (Promethea Books 1-5, and Bone: One Volume Edition) had an estimated arrival date of today. Since I ordered them on December 19th, paid with a credit card, and even used a goddamn sigil on it, I was expecting it to be here today.

It wasn't. I hate everyone.

I did buy the Mr. Bean DVD set with one of my Christmas vouchers though. That silly Mr. Bean.
