"it's so cute i'm dying!"
so i took my new blog title from the first few pages of this BOOK. books, what an idea, is it patented? here is the quote, as separated from all meaningful context: "'Nothing' is... quite acceptable, that is, if it were not, alas, terroristic and deontic". and then i used my magical powers to turn it into a pun. whoah is me.
down to matters.
i've had this strange urge to start updating this blog again. an urge, mind, rather than a general decision, which are almost always sickled o'er. and yet the problem remains of where to begin, after such a long hiatus. so i'll rebegin with some vague vagaries: vaguearies:
* i moved into a house with 2 of my best friends. it's incredible how seamlessly we managed to adopt the dynamic where friend-time happens but so does being all in the same house silently in separate rooms. our bookshelf is awesome. and we have a compost bucket, which i like to think of more as a symbol of domestic establishment than an effort toward sustainable living. whatever, the dual function is pleasing.
* i cut my hair because i turned 21 and nothing really changed. i'll have to grow it back, ready for cutting before the next significant birthday, else tattoo my face. i also cut my hair because short hair means that in the summer times you can better feel the sun on your head. this makes some things matter more, for instance, hats, and some things matter less, for instance, worries.
* i've started reading comics, now that everyone i know has raved to me about which ones are great. i started off with fun home, which is incredible... so now i want to do two things: read ulysses and have sex with alison bechdel. then i moved on to ghost world, also pretty great. then arkham assylum and the killing joke (eh batman "oh no he's got weaknesses, moral ambiguity times!"). and finally black hole, which had the most impressive art by far, and also rather impressively didn't turn into a work of pro-abstinence propaganda. despite a lot of cliches and unresolved questions, i really liked this one. but that might be largely because for some bizarre reason finding something NEW and obscure always excites me a lot more than picking up something i've been recommended.
* uni is... a drag. semester started well but i'm increasingly frustrated by structure and predictability, and also a lack of personal momentum. so i'm writing and drawing more, which is to say, at all. and i hope that some day i'll have something colourful to post, which is what i always meant for this blog!
so there's the round-up.
