Some Noncomics Updatin'
Hi, guess what! Today I finally got my sixthirtyfive.com domain transferred from GoDaddy to Dreamhost. AND I registered the domain "knitthehellup.com".
I've been writing comics, but illustrating them has been difficult. I blame this on the extreme, intense heat in my house. Bleah. The heat in my house melted my credit card.
I've been reading a book about kimono! What have you been reading? Hooray for books!

It's nearly as over-rated as Lord of the Rings. Shorter, though, which in this case is a big plus.
It gets pretty hot out in California's central valley area.
I've slowly been taking little chunks out of Catch 22.
I like the quote Chili wrote on the front page...
Because "the female of the species is more deadly than the male..."
I read Freakonomics because it was sitting on my in-laws' coffee table. It was funny and surprising, but I couldn't help but want to see some of the data that the whole book was about.
I dunno if I'll even get to it though, I have so much to read yet I haven't touched any of it lately.
I have no idea what they are, but I am envisioning a camel that has biological weapons in it's hump instead of fat/water. Please don't shatter my illusions with reality.
Bactrian camels have two humps, dromedary camels have one. The easiest way to remember is that 'B' looks like two camel humps on end, whereas 'D' looks like one.
Wheel of Time? I read book 11 of that a few months ago. It was actually one of the best in the series so far I think. A far cry from 10, which is not very good.
by the way, it's pretty hot on the east coast too, at least down in the southern part (new orleans was atrociously humid, even worse than florida). also it's thunderstormy and floody!
I wish I could afford Newtype. I'm not a huge anime fan, but the layouts are really sharp, and Kevin Gifford, one of the editors, is super awesome.
Oh, plus Osama Tezuka's eight-volume Buddha, which is just damn good.
And I think I've done all the research I can do for the penultimate issue of year one of Agents Extraordinary, so I may just have to sit down and write the damn thing.

On the flip side, I can definitely recommend AGAINST the horrible audiobook of The Life of Pi. I got to CD number of 7 of 9 and happily returned it without knowing the ending; it's like if Dostoevsky had written The Old Man and the Sea, and it was read by a B-List actor doing a fake Indian accent the whole time.
Aside from moving, not a whole lot else, except for making a cell phone game with my friend.
It also has a Yeti.
My newest reads were loaned to me by a friend here in CA-- two books on the genocide in Rwanda, and one on modern economics of gender. They're all really awesome. I'm somewhat ashamed of how little I knew of the horrible Rwandan genocides, but to be fair, OJ Simpson was the major item on the news in the US at the time. Ugh.
But who am I kidding. I read The Superficial more often than CNN.
