And stay away from Turkish and Russian coffee. That is shit that's been brewed. Even raw Civil War coffee made from stale beans trod under foot and brewed through a sock tastes better.

is that an insult… or is that how they brewed coffee during the Civil War? anyways, i know that we just have keurig cups here for coffee, and that's pretty crappy too. i don't purport myself to be any kind of coffee king, but i like some coffee with chicory in it when i'm in the mood for something that actually tastes good.

Yes, it is how they brewed coffee in the field in the American Civil War. The Confederacy issued chicory nuts which is also pretty good though it takes getting used to. As far as the Turkish and Russian coffee it really takes getting used to and for someone who doesn't like regular coffee it is to be avoided.

Real Brazilian roast coffee (the stuff they don't export and is for domestic consumption) is very flavorable and recommended but you have to have connections to get it.

For you tea drinkers try "Liberty tea" the concoctions created by patriots in the American War for Independence. Or try brewing tea from tea leaves in a steel tin over a small metal box burning gasoline. And no milk.

Currently I am doing anything rather than do any work whatsoever on my comic. And I have tons of extra hours coming up for the 4th of July weekend.

I bet you anything Kyupol's Muslim friend will look into that vaccination thing and decide for himself.

Don't be too hard on Kyu, I know what he did sounds insane and harmful, but just remember that he didn't come up with those theories- rather he was just the sort of person who believes in it. If his Muslim friend is also the sort of person who believes such crazy things, well that's his problem.
-And if he didn't know enough about his religion to let Kyupol fool him like that, that's hardly Kyupol's fault, is it?

Coffee…

You know, nothing used to beat walking down to Cottesloe beach at 2am in the morning for a takeaway cappuccino in a cardboard cup from Eats. Delicious coffee in the cold night air with the sea breeze in your face, watching the reflections of the shore lights in the surf and the black ocean beyond…
Too bad they demolished it. Such a classic snack-bar joint. R.I.P. Eats. :(

… But, on another subject, Gran Torino is a f**king brilliant movie. I knew Clint Eastwood was good, but this movie just blew me away. It shot my productivity to hell, and was more than worth it. I haven't been as enthralled by a movie as that in one hell of a long time.
Meh. Take Karate Kid, reverse the characters, and give it a tragic ending. Viola, Gran Torino. I was dissapointed.

Nothing in Hollywood is original anymore. I saw BENJAMIN BUTTON recently. A long-ass, boring as hell serious spin on FOREST GUMP. Then I saw PAUL BLART - MALL COP. An attempt at a humorous (and extremely dumb) rip-off of DIE HARD.

Not really a good area to get into, since re-makes and reinventions of other themes and stories are so endemic. You know, all the classic thems and myths and such? If you really investigated it, I'm sure you'd see the connections to biblical stories, Egyptian myth and such.
In fact, it's pretty easy to think of a lot of obvious ones with biblical routes as well as less obvious ones.
Common bible themes:
-righteous destruction with only a few worth people saved which comes from Noah's Ark and Sodom and Gomorrah.
-The Prodigal Son theme- Homecoming hero feted by all, resented by a few…
-Cain and Able- fighting brothers with differing personalities.
-Samson and Delilah- Unfaithful lover destroys the other. Tortured hero finds reserve of strength to take down his enemies, sacrificing himself to do it.
-David and Goliath -Unlikely weakling prevails against massive odds.
-The Good Samaritan… no explanation needed.

And so on lol!
That's sort of fun. Besides, I only remember that stuff and more because of Hollywood.

Yeah, but there's a difference between being derivative of a classic theme and ripping another story off almost scene by scene.

… But I digress. ;)

Hmmm… I think I've seen this argument before. I mean, it looks exactly like one I recently saw on the subject of Tolstoy and comic books. Just take War and Peace, change the dialogue and setting, and you've got Fables. It would seem Hollywood isn't the only place recycling ideas.

Sounds like someone has a sandwich-craving wife!

And clearly my update frequency will show you that I cannot in fact work on multiple comics at the same time… I can barely manage one page every 3 weeks lol!

Today I drive to Derby for work! However I can bring the dog. Good times.

I wish my family would stop asking me when I'll be settling down and starting a family. I'm nearly 40 years old for crying out loud! I'm already too old for that sort of thing…

Geez man, plenty of people are well onto their second by then. I don't think age really matters that much.
As a consequence I expect you'll never be free of that from your family. :)

Heh, went on a trip into the light fantastic today, and started looking through all my really really old files. Here's a few of the gems I found.

Apparently I thought that a story involving angels coming down from heaven to play professional football was a good story. Never got past chapter two, it looks like…

I don't remember when, but apparently I started into a play-by-email group that involved Victorian-era Hogwarts. My student was a first-year student right off the streets, could use magic… but couldn't read. He was great with oral commands and loved using the broom to fly… but his scores in anything written were ABYSMAL. Actually wasn't a bad concept… but now I'm horrified to have been even part of a PBeM Harry Potter anything. :D

Some of this stuff's pretty damn morbid. The HELL was wrong with me back then…

Anyhoo, sometimes it's fun to look back like that. :D

Wasn't there an actual movie about that? I think it was proffesional baseball though.

There was angels in the outfield, I think, but that was angels helping a human team… I think. Either way, this had them suiting up, playing, etc etc… I am fairly certain that at some point, I'd intended a type of superbowl-ish game where it ended up being angels and devils for control over the Earth…

but as I said, it didn't make it past chapter two. :p

SGGRFDSFGHTYHDADSDFAGASGDG I woke up in such a shitty mood today, it's so weird i just literally woke up all 'D8<', i had a dream about this guy who lost his cats might have been trying to steal my cats so i has un-folding this fold-able antler gun to shoot him with so maybe that's why.

D8<

I feel like turning that sprite comic i made into a story comic, i was gonna do that at first but then it's like 'this is stupid.' and didn't. I guess i could just draw it out for real..

Everyone should follow the example of the great Kim Jong Il.

North Korea is ahead of the rest of the world in terms of environmentalism.

They celebrate earth hour every single day. And only the high ranking members of the communist party are allowed to have cars. They have less cars on the road and less toxic air!!!

Why don't we follow their example?!?



YES TO CARBON TAXES!!! IF ONLY WE GIVE UP OUR RIGHTS AND PAY AL GORE, OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT WILL BE LESS AND LESS JUST LIKE THE HIGHLY ADVANCED AND PROSPEROUS NORTH KOREA!!!

I've kind of lost control of my online personality. I'm not really sure where it's going to take me. It's beyond fun, and incredibly amusing… but I don't want to accidentally hurt anyone (that was not totally asking me to do so) and I fear I might not have the ability to discern foe from hapless casualty in the future. I don't want to up and quit, so I'm just going to have to try and exercise self restraint from now on.



You're welcome,
Charlie

I can't sleep.

I'm supposed to wake up early (before 7 o clock) to go fishing with my dad.

Things with the girl are going great.
But she thinks I look better with long and black hair.
My hair is currently somewhat short, and blonde.

And now, I have to become even beastier, so I can impress her even more.
Ugh…girls.
;)
