i just read the previously mentioned f s fitz "curious case of benjamin buttons" and it was a pretty interesting short story. theres really not much to it but the mere fact that it handles the enormous hurdle of encompassing a persons life and events within 20 pages is pretty amazing. the beginning and ending are well done, with sort of filler in the middle. but really the focus at first is how bb's birth is such a mysterious thing, and how his father handles it. and then as the story ends it becomes how people will not put up with him because of how he is unable to handle himself. its strange but worth of discussion, which will surely be done in my new book club!
abs and i started a book club. we'll see how far that goes in terms of getting people together and having them all read the book proposed.
other reading ive done? just tpb comics i picked up from matt. hes got this huge collection and i went through and started picking off some of the well recieved titles. i think ive become an even bigger nerd in the last year than all through high school. anyways, finished BPRD vol 1 + 2, goon vol 0 + 1, battlepope 1.
well, i dont think ill be graduating on time. i think im going to go an extra (full) semester so i can 1.get all 3 associate degrees and 2.work on getting a job before i lose access to creative suite.
also, im being a bigger part of school. this semester im part of the student art league (which doesnt mean much) but i suppose its some form or support? also im joining the staff of the tcc times, the school newspaper. i dont have an assignment yet, but it should be pretty cool. so yeah, im being active!
ive been catching up on x-statix and its REALLY good. im almost done, which is very disturbing because i dont know what ill do with my life after this. perhaps move back to reading bone or blade of the immortal.
