myspace is being difficult

I like myspace. It has that nice dead feeling you get at once popular bars in once popular sections of once popular towns. However, it seems that when I logged on myspace, it shuts down my web browser (safari for those who are curious) three to ten seconds I hit my main page and not the login page. As a result of that, the writings I do there will appear here, so coming next tuesday the tuesday numbers will appear here.

Daft Colargol

Today, I was listening to Daft Punk's album Daft Club, and as I listened to Daft Punk's own remix to Aerodynamic, I couldn't help but think of the introduction theme music to Jeremy the Bear from TVOntario from the 1970s and 1980s. The cartoon originated in France, but it was called Colargol (done by a Polish animator from a series of children's books from yet another country if my false information from wikipedia is right).

Anyways, I took the time to listened to the theme song to Colargol, which sounds nothing like Daft Punk. However, there seems that there is a simularity to each song at this time I can't put my finger on it. Edit: It's not at the guitar solo if you're thinking the original song.

(I also like to explain how New Order's song "Blue Monday" is the hippest polka song, but I don't want to hit another state of confusion and frustration for others at this time.)

If someone is reading this, try and answer this...

I saw a few seconds of Batman and Robin on youtube, and yes, I'm well aware that I can't get that time back. For the few images I saw in that brief moment, the Bat-nipples is one type of sad, but the molded bat-ass cleavage and Batgirl torpedo tit covers is a completely different level of sad in which I can't explain into detail at the moment. Like why would you need molded ass cleavage tights to fight crime? I thought Batman is supposed to instill fear into the criminals, not make them break into hysterical laughter.

I want to know who do you blame on the costume design of the Bat-costumes, the director Joel Schumacher; costume designer Robert Turturice (Batman and Robin, Gia, and assistant costume designer of the Star Wars Holiday Special); or costume designer Ingrid Ferrin (Batman and Robin, The Santa Clause 2, and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause)?

Gifticus has Begun

Gifticus, The Period of Disappointment, has started. I get a record player from Johnny Sixteen. A record player that altered the appearance of my room... possibly for the better, but makes me realize that I got to get of more stuff and that totally bums me out.

Interesting or Depressing?

I took time to count the amount of titles of the monthly and weekly comics I currently read. By adding all the titles I pick up, and by a loosely based scenario that all comics cost the same price of 2.99, and all came at a regular schedule; I would be spending over $135 a month. Fortunately for me, some of the comics I read come in a few weeks late to coming out nearly bi-annualy. However, the costs of some of these funnybooks can range from $2.25 (not bad) to $12.95 (ouch).

This little discovery made me realise (again) that I have an addiction towards comics. From what I can figure out right now is that at least eight comic book publishers and a handful of area retailers are benefiting from my addiction.

Are comic books drugs to me? Are the publishers the grow-ops? Are the retailers my dealers?

Every writer and artist's storytelling is like a drug; the creative style a particular high. I know a few readers trying to overdose on Warren Ellis and Grant Morrison, while taking some bad hits from reading Frank Miller, or giving themselves a mindcleansing by reading Carl Barks.

All I know is in order to detox from comics, you need to replace it with either another medium or a social activity... and right now, there's nothing good on television and I'm not a people person.

New Years' Resolutions

I actually made a couple of resolutions just so I can break them.

1. To be a bigger prick to others.
2. To be a bigger failure than in previous years.
3. To eat breakfast (more importantly eat bacon) in every county, regional municipality, single-tier municipality and district in the Province of Ontario in 2008.

I do enjoy that by breaking my #1 of being a bigger prick to others, I end up succeeding in my #2 of being a bigger failure than in previous years, but succeeding in failure is still a success nonetheless.
