well norman mailer died the other day and i dont really know who that is, outside of that he wrote books that i haven't ever read. the closest i came is "the executioner's song"--not that i read mr. mailer's book by that name, but i DID read the x-men story arch that stole its title. (sorry normy, im grasping at straws here). porsche pointed out recently (with strong backup by j) how weird it is that i check the 'recent deaths' section on wikipedia every day. i don't even know why, i guess its sort of like rubber-knecking at a car accident. it IS like the third thing i do @ work every day.
there is at least one copy of the new adventures of mary and joseph out there, thats comforting. it WAS pretty funny, if un-original. im still trying to come up with another good concept for a mini-comic so post suggestions if you have any. the weirder it is, the more likely i am to use it.
earthquakes in chile yesterday and today, and did i see a cyclone in bangladesh? where was that cyclone? now all the apocalypse cult that is southern baptism will flood out, chicken littles popping out of the wood work to let you know that this is an unprecedented sign of the end-times. which it isnt. sky's not falling any more than it always was. le sigh. but at least it gives them something to talk about and feel right about.
and once again, to the news media: why am i supposed to care about oj simpson anymore? why do i need to be kept up to date on his pitiful vapid existence? the same goes for marie osmond's son, forest whitaker, georges marciano, celine dion, and abu hamza al-masri. dear cnn: i dont care, i dont care, i dont care, i dont care, i dont care. you are boring me to tears. i watched CNN fanatically in highschool, less so post-highschool as i saw formats change and a drop in quality, but i stayed with it somewhat. but now, god. im not saying any other network is doing better. but CNN, all your coverage is just shit now. and thats from someone who loved you. fucking stop it.
