Its about me.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…
~Ballad of Serenity
Theme from Firefly,
by Joss Wedon
Best Theme Song I’ve Ever Heard.
Scott Pilgrim vs the World was an amazing movie. I mean unbelieviable and surprisingly amazing. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Look at that poster. Amazing. Epic even. And really, the movie didn’t let me down at all.
But apart from that I recently discovered the soundtrack. Beck, Frank Black, T-Rex, Metric, The Rolling Stones, Broken Social Scene, Blood Red Shoes, Black Lips, Plumtree, Crash and the Boys, and obviously Sex Bomb-omb. Crash and the Boys and Sex Bomb-omb are bands in the movie. But the soundtrack doesn’t let up. Sure its up and down with quick paced songs and slower songs, but it fits.
You can listen to the whole album for free at napster ( I freaking love that about napster). I highly recommend the Plumtree song. The Metric song is pretty good too, and the T-Rex song just makes me laugh. Go ahead. Listen. You won’t be let down.

PS – and yes, the graphic novels were great too.
I’m not one to wear a tie. I just don’t like them. Yesterday I had to wear a tie to work. It felt like it choked me. My other dilemma with wearing a tie is that I don’t have a great eye for pairing up clothing. I just don’t care. So I have one “tie outfit.” I don’t think people at work have caught on yet, there’s been three or four times this year already where I’ve had to “dress nice” and “tie up.” All wearing the same outfit.
My second dilemma for dressing up comes from having lost weight in the last couple years. My two years in Cleveland have been in jobs that were more informal. I have khakis, but they a little big on me. My button down shirts though, they are from two+ years ago when I was 30 pounds heavier (35 now). That’s a decent chunk of weight. I bought two suits three years ago. They really need to be taken in to be hemmed. As far as shirts, I have some that are so big on me they just look ridiculous.
Also the 5 pounds I’ve lost in the last two months has left my belt useless. I’m on the smallest hole. That means I have this giant belt end flapping around just hitting stuff. To this end I spent $80 on clothes yesterday. Two pairs of paints, and two decent button down shirts that look decent on me. However I couldn’t find a belt for someone that didn’t start at 32 for the waist (which is what I am now). I’ll also keep ties at work for when “the big boss” stops by to throw on. I’m sure none of them will match, but at least I’ll have a tie on. That’s all that matters right.
See. I can be respectable a little, when I want, when I care to. Its not often.

the stars that cover you.
How they burn out one by one
until another day is through.’

I woke up with this song in my head. I love this song. I slept a solid six hours last night. Probably a little more (maybe a little less). I tried to go to bed at a decent hour but it wasn’t becoming.
Drawings are coming. I spent last night catching up (all caught up bitches) and today I’ll get down to scanning. Hold your breathe. Otherwise. Stop the rain. Damnation rain go away.
I find it amazing when I am exhausted that a song can pop into my head and get stuck there. Yesterday was a long day. From the moment I got up to the moment I went to sleep it felt like one thing after another. About half way through the day I just wanted to lay down, and as I started item number 6,000 on my to do list, the song Andy You’re A Star popped into my head. Now I haven’t listened to the Killers in three or four months. I did hear a little bit of Brandon Flowers solo album when Reg played a song last weekend, but that’s the closest I’ve come to listening to the Killers. Just having something taking up a small sliver of my brain to distract and relax me helps with long days.
Anyways, you can listen to the song here.
I’m going to attempt to update my blog in the mornings now. Part of my morning routine. For example, its 6:30, I got out of bed half an hour ago, and I have to be in my car driving by 6:45. So far this morning I’ve shaved, showered, made coffee, washed a bunch of dishes and fed the cats. That’s fairly productive for a morning (I’ve dressed as well, also important).
But seeing as I can’t remember my weird dream, would actually like to take time to write a proper entry later today or tomorrow morning, and actually put up some pictures or drawings, I’ll just end it by saying Casino Versus Japan is amazing. You should listen to them. Try three songs: Buried, Marilynn Set Me Free, and Wasted Snow. You can find them all here.
Now to make my lunch, clip my toenails and get out the door.
