Today's Muse: Rorschach: Fridge Ninja. Y'think he found any of Kyle Rayner's ex's in there?
I love the inter-slice.
And I get my smarts from trying to keep up with 52!

Today's Muse: Head. Pillow. Boom.
Got my semester one results in the mail. Honours all round. Whee.
I've steered clear of Friendster, MySpace and what-not. But I have, I'm glad to say, jumped onto the ComicSpace bandwagon. And like Chris of Ghouly Boys writes, I just want to add everyone to the friend horde - they're there because they like comics, just as I do.
At any rate, I'm here. Nothing fancy up yet, though.
GBM ends its run tomorrow night, then it's bump-out immediately, because another show has it's bump-in Monday morning at 6am. Closing party Monday night. Eeeeexcellent.
Then it's a week of scuttling between Yio Chu Kang to help out with Iris' children's camp and school for Hungry rehearsals, as well as finishing up homework.
Then, after all that, I can finally keel over and die.

Today's Muse: Bowel Disruptor - Jr Pack
My new Transmetropolitan TPB has real paper pages in it. No gloss, nuffink.
That's pretty awesome.

Today's Muse: Giblets
Oorgh. My insides are a right mess. Pain!
Oof. During the day I think of all sort of subjects I'd like to touch on here, but when I actually sit down here I can't recall anything interesting, other than the state of my giblets.
We celebrate the mundane:
I've been following DC's 52, an ongoing series that's supposed to fill in the missing year between Infinite Crises and One Year Later.
For you lazy knob hyper-linkin' haters, the recap:
In Infinite Crises, Superboy-Prime punched the timestream. Oh, he killed Superboy too. You know, the one with the bad haircut back in the nineties? Plus, Joker killed the Luthor with hair. Oooh yeah.
In One Year Later, it's wiggy.
But I like 52, or at I like what I can get off the internet. They killed Booster Gold, sure, but Skeets is still around! And of Week 19, what with the "It's all his fault!" and Skeets trapping Booster's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather in a time loop AND Skeets talking in a HUMAN speech bubble and not the electronic one and saying "HE KNOWS"...
Cue RANDOM SPECULATION!
I am now eating cake. It is chocolate cake with pink icing. It is very good, but I know I will be in even more pain afterwards.
I desire more cake.

Today's Muse: HAIL ME!
I did something stupid today.
Eeeeheeeheehee.
EDIT:
Well, that's the ivelostcountactually time some one's told me that LASALLE-SIA is tosh.
Although my intial reaction is to yell "BALLS!" and tackle them in a fit of rage one can only learn from comic books ("I love you!" "RAAAAARRR!" *fling!* ") , I supress it. I pause, and think: Am I really justified in attacking the other person? Okay, I don't really look all that dignified thinking that - my eyes tend to gloss over the same way they do when I break my brain.
I haven't even begun classes at LASALLE (And I'll keep the caps, thank you). I haven't a clue what it'll be like. The opinions on why it's tosh range from "Oh. It sucks" to "After attending their performing arts showcase, I feel that it is infinitely inferior to the stature of So-and-so school's drama club". Even if I were to defend LASALLE, I can't really think of anything to retort with other than "Nuh-uh, it doesn't" which makes me wonder why I bother to read so much.
I could have gone to a Junior College of my choice, kept drama as a CCA or even offered it as an subject. But I chose LASALLE. Not NAFA, not a JC. Why?
Because I didn't want to.
It's as simple as that.
Between going through rote learning for another two years to ultimately sit for yet another major exam and taking a giant leap into pursuing something I am so passionate about full-time and not as a sideline to be pushed aside for more "important" activities like "studying" - The choice is easy, no?
And in LASALLE what I love best is the studying.
I could have gone through JC, gotten my 'A' Level certification and THEN enrolled in LASALLE, with the cert as a "fallback". I was encouraged to choose this route; also to use the time to consider going into the arts. This was an option I took pretty seriously. Was I really sure about pursuing acting - and all to do with it - as a career?
Impatience won out. I loved the stage, on it and off, and if I could get started quicker on that road, why the fuck not?
And after LASALLE, where to?
Who can tell? I have a bunch of information books from schools in Australia, with way too many post-its in 'em. I keep smelly old articles on various art programmes in universities. I devour blogs by students at some of these schools, and blogs by people who are living the stage, in one way or another.
I read loads of comic books, too.
I don't know what LASALLE will be like. Some nights I stay up worrying about it - with so that much talent in one room, will I stand out? Will I get along with people there?
Will I be happy?
But hey, the future's the future, and I'm not regretting my choice.
Occasionally I do feel something close to it, though, when I hear or read about what some of my ex-school mates are up to in their new places. Some of them have done so much, and I'm just here. Waiting.
Ahhh, feck it. This year I have:
1. being a back-up singer with the rest of Vox for Rock Opera - and that was awesome in so many ways: seeing the huge soundstage backstage of the Esplanade; singing my heart out at the finale with everyone else; the mints! Who can forget the CHEWER? And on the Vox note the weekly rehearsals. Woo. Balls.
2. attempted to build a robot, and learnt loads of useless miscelly in the process
3. discovered all sorts of music aside from the stuff you hear on the car radio
4. finally got round to demolishing the reading list - why is Don Quixote is always checked out?
5. pierced my ears. Annnnnd still no end in sight.
6. seen Mediacorp from the dirty, boring, grimy inside
7. finally seen Tiananmen Square
8. stayed in a boutique hotel in the heart of Hong Kong - Go connections!
9. read an eloquent poem of protest graffiti'd on the pavement
10. immersed myself into the comic world - it's gotten so bad I can't write a decent story unless I picture it in comic form.
11. etc.
I don't think it's being such a waste of a year. I've picked up a couple of skills, corresponded with a bunch of cool people, thought a lot.
And while we're counting, this is the againlostcount time I'm online past 1am. Damnit. So much for New Year Resolutions.
