Doing these songs has been a ton of work. There have been quite a few parts that I have had to teach that I'm not even playing. Fortunately, I already knew a lot of the basslines, so it's not like I had to learn them and teach them, but still, it would have been nice to just have to learn my guitar parts instead of breaking the songs down and learning/teaching almost every part (except the drums because I don't know anything about playing drums).

I guess it's really my own overly-critical, overly-analytical fault that I just won't be satisfied when I know it could sound better. In the end, I'm not upset about it anyway, because this last practice sounded really good and I'm excited to get to play these songs live and loud! I'm quite sure it was worth all of the time and effort I put into this, even though I was late to almost every practice. It's just like I said yesterday, there's no time!

I feel like I need to be going to bed earlier, but there just doesn't seem like enough time for it. I feel like, if I start going to bed earlier, I will fall into the trap of a mundane life. Fucksticks.

I don't understand how Top Gun was the number one film of 1986. Here is a list of some films it beat out.

Crocodile Dundee
The Karate Kid Part II
Aliens
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Stand By Me
An American Tail
The Fly
Three Amigos
Little Shop Of Horrors
Gung Ho
Hoosiers
Iron Eagle
Friday The 13th Part VI
House

and, last but not least

Delta Force

All of these movies are better than Top Gun in many ways, which is not any sort of real accomplishment since every movie is better than Top Gun. And Kelly McGillis isn't all that. I'm sorry, Kelly.

I expected something different from Interstella, but I was pleased with the approach that was taken to the film.

1029

Blah.

1028

Pizza is good for your face to eat.

1027

That movie is pretty sad. That sentence is pretty pointless.

1026

I seriously thought my blanket was pure love or something, and that it was deteriorating, and it made me feel hopeless. Waking up fully and becoming regularly aware was one of the more uplifting feelings I've felt in a while. It was like, "Wait, love is still here. There is hope!"

I like this drawing, too. It's always nice to draw something I like a couple days in a row.

1025

Drawings like this make me wish I were a bit more consistent. Maybe then I could actually do a real comic!

1024

Snacks and getting sick!

1023

For some reason, I labeled this one as October 22nd initially. I also initially labeled the 19th's panel as 10-19-20. I don't know what's going on.

1022

Hospitals!

1021

Kids!

1020

I never promised that every day would be full of glamor and substance.

1019

I am quite certain that my mother loves this panel for multiple reasons.

I admit that I do, as well.

Liz and I have been spending so much time together, it's pretty much like we've been boyfriend and girlfriend already, so it almost feels like nothing should be different, but it's definitely different in its way, and I'm okay with that.

I sure hope she knows what she got herself into!

1018

I think we have two episodes left to finish season three of Dexter, which feels fucking awesome to me, because I can free up Netflix space and not have them just sitting around while I wonder what is going to happen next. I mean, being caught up on it will mean I'm pretty much always wondering what will happen next, but I won't have the answers sitting right in front of me while I'm unable to get them, so that's gonna rule. I'm pretty stoked.

1017

They were originally going to be stuffed portobello (portabello, portabella, portobella) burgers, but it turned out that these were more than filling enough, especially with the sweet-ass garlic potatoes Liz made to go with them. Yumz!

1016

I continue to be extremely ecstatic that Monk is finally getting it together again. We have close to ten songs down now. We're not playing the show we were supposed to any longer, but we're still getting ready, and I imagine it won't be long now, which is a really nice feeling.

1015

I need to not be such a wuss...

1014

Aaaaand she continues to make the most amazing food ever.

1013

I'm sure I'm just repeating what lots of people have already said, but this could be the scariest film ever.

1012

Oh, come on. That's funny.

1011

I think I'm actually interested in U2 a little now. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone.

1010

Liz thinks I did a good job on this drawing. I disagree.

1009

I've been trying to get through Barry Lyndon for months now. It's about time to buckle down and do it. Hopefully I'll finish it before the week is up, because I'm pretty into it now.

And, yes, I ripped the image off.

1008

I seriously don't think there is ever going to come a time in my life where I can get what I feel is a fair amount of sleep. Even going on vacation, it's like there's always stuff to do and you ought to be waking up early.

I got ripped off by being born. Somehow, it still seems worth being ripped off (which should be obvious, as I haven't yet killed myself).

1007

I was talking with Liz after the movie about how zombie film has reached a point where there sort of has to be some comedy interjected into it to keep it vital. But now that I'm thinking about it, I want to say that that isn't true, or that there has always been humor in zombie films. I guess I'm just feeling that films like this and Shaun of the Dead are hitting a different spot than the Romero films of days passed (or is it past?), and it is a spot that much needed hitting, much like many priests.

1006

Playing a show with a band after not playing a show in two months after playing 8 shows in a row is weird.

1005

I fucking hate doctors. Maybe one day, they will do something for someone I care about without any uncalled for complications, but I highly doubt it.

1004

We both had been feeling kinda crappy/sick all day long and the chowder cleared it right up. Score another win for the lovely Liz.

1003

If you don't think this is the worst drawing of Swamp Thing ever, you're not paying attention. I'll be uploading a quality photo of the bust Dave made when I get off my lazy ass and take one.
