Last episode of the Black Donnellys tonight - this better be good!
In other Coyle-related news: alcoholism.

That is all.

Tuesday 06th October 2009

Reading my way through the online comments posted in response to Cheryl Morgan's post about the banning of a hard-name-to-spell uberfan's banning from a comics con, I'm amazed once again at the lengths the Irish go to in order to make ourselves look like a bunch of bog-trotting backwater wankers who fight with our own shadows on the flimsiest of pretexts, presumably while laid on our backs launching alcohol-infused urine into the atmosphere and laughing though our rotted teeth before expressing amazement that we've just pissed in our own faces yet again. No matter how that matter is eventually resolved for good or ill, Ireland still comes off as the abode of small-time hobbyists rather than dedicated professionals. Sad.

Still, at least now I have a reason to keep drinking - to fit in.

Still working my way through the thumbnail stages of the gn, not getting much drawing done just yet - the planning stages of anything seem to take up more time than the actual event itself, and that's certainly true of comics, as they only take about five-ten minutes to get through but can take a month of someone's time to draw.

"But saturday is best day for drinking!"

Note to self: don't start boozing at 2 in the morning.

Saturday 03rd October 2009

Saturday evening and guess who's not boozing? I'm not boozing! Yet, anyway - I'm still Irish and there's certain standards that have to be maintained. That and my family have a disposition towards alcoholism.

Not even joking.

Watching: Pelham 123, Stargate Universe, The Middle, the weans to make sure they don't kill each other

Friday 02nd October 2009

Just in the planning/layout stages for the rest of chapter one of the gn. Watching tv, being all creative-y and thinking about stuff, but mainly that translates into bone idle laziness interspersed with moments of drawing, shopping, booze and action sitting.
Eastwick: toss, not loving it.
Mercy: Toss, indifferent.
Flashforward: boring, done with it.
Glee: toss, loving it.
The Vampire Diaries: emo, indifferent.
Cougar Town: Scrubs, can't explain why, but it is.
Also getting into Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, which is fun, especially the factoid tidbits that come up during loading screens and which seem to have been put together by someone whose knowledge begins and ends with the concept sketches for the game, such as "Wolverine has six claws" and "projectile attacks let you attack from a distance."
