The World Cup is officially less than one week away! I'm so stoked. It feels pretty amazing and exciting to be a tiny part of enthusiasm at the exact same time as people all over the world. It kind of boggles the mind. There are a lot of games to watch, but the first game starts hella early because of the time difference. Luckily, my family ( Read more... )

I was waiting in the subway station for my train yesterday and I was standing facing a poster for the new A-Team movie. It was the one that's been squared off with all four actors' faces in extreme close-up and definition. I admit I was hypnotized by the poster, but partially because it was just so. fucking. ugly. I mean, I couldn't get over how ( Read more... )

So yesterday, instead of doing any real drawing or writing or working of any kind (well, I did submit 7 resumes and cover letters and called two more places for jobs, but that aside), I sat in my room, under the covers of my bead, and watched four movies ( Read more... )

Well, I guess Super 8 is NOT related to Cloverfield, and that was just a sort of publicity generating stunt. And I'll be damned if it didn't work on me. However, it still does involve a monster, Area 51 and "home footage." Also, J.J. Abrams is writing and directing it, and the few things he's actually directed have certainly been done well, so ( Read more... )

So I've been posting privately here on livejournal to talk about all my shit with myself and it's actually super helpful. I've started maybe two dozen paper journals in my life before, but something always freaks me out and I stop writing it. Maybe because people have always found and read those journals (I just remembered I used to have one of ( Read more... )

I was in Portland, Oregon over the weekend for the Stumptown indie comics fest. It was such super fun, and it seems like each show I go to (up to three no! woo!), my desire to be a full time cartoonist gets stronger and stronger (I thought it was at full capacity a bit ago, but I guess my desire exapands or something). I love the spectrum and ( Read more... )

Well, after quite a bit of emotional abuse by my boss, the final straw happened a few days ago, when she YELLED (like really yelled, at the top of her lungs, with cussing and everything) at me, and then called me stupid. Her exact words were, "God help me, Elenore, but you are NOT the brightest bulb in the shed." It was because I was working in ( Read more... )

***For those who care, there are lots of spoilers or whatever for the film in question.***

The other day, while watching trailers before a movie at work, I saw one for a film coming out soon called Serious Moonlight. While watching the trailer, where a wife of an adulterous husband duct tapes him to a toilet out of distress and pleads for his ( Read more... )

I just biked passed a hipster looking dude with volleyball sunglasses and a very well maintained mohawk driving a Land Rover with a liscense (sp?) plate that read "ART G*D."

I think I'm going to start working on Stupid Babies again.

So! Our stolen internet is suddenly password protected, and now there's no internet at my house. That sucks. I think it means we may need to start paying for internet. Crap ( Read more... )
