Thunder-Perfect Mind
I think I'll drop those "Work Journal" titles--too boring, huh? Watched 24, a very solid episode, and I'm so glad they got that female impersonator out of running CTU--the hints that her daughter's suicide might not have been a suicide are intriguing. Tony Almeda lights up the screen, as usual.
Finally read the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue, which is a tradition with me. The Midnight Cowboy piece is good, especially as it's one of my favorite films and I didn't know much about either director John Schlesinger or what Jon Voight was like at that time, and how he got along with Dustin Hoffman. That's a movie I need to own. "Joe, do me a favor...My name is Enrico Salvatore Rizzo." "Well, Ah cain't remember all THAT." "RICO, then. At least call me Rico in my own gawdamn place!" The Annie Liebowitz photos were a bit dull this time--I think we've covered just about every star and every reunited cast of a great film. But hey, THAT's what Paul Le Mat and Candy Clark look like now.
Outlined issues #1-5 of The Solution. I THINK just maybe I can make it fit six issues, and screw all this year-long bullshit. #6 would have to be extra-length, but worth it. I see it a bit like a Paul Pope balls-out THB wrapup or something. I'll just say that the book is science fiction with some powers, lots of relativism, and even Gnosticism. Plus some bodily fluids. In fact, it was the very same Vanity Fair that had a little piece on some video Ridley Scott's daughter directed based on a Gnostic poem about the many facets of women that game me the "Thunder-Perfect Mind" thing from above. The poem, I think, is "The Thunder, The Perfect Mind", but I like my way, and the thousands of Gnostics reading this can kiss my Manicheist ass. :) The plotting wasn't that tight yet but got the basics down and added a bunch of good stuff to #2 as well that will reverberate nicely later. Very psyched and pleased about this.
Also have had a nice trio of books read in the last 24 hours. I think I talked about I NEVER LIKED YOU, but I'll go into more depth later if I haven't, or probably in a column for Comic Book Galaxy, as well as IT'S A GOOD LIFE, IF YOU DON'T WEAKEN (yes, I really was missing out), and Wilfrid Santiago's lively IN MY DARKEST HOUR. They're all great....AND...PROJECT: SUPERIOR just arrived tonight. I'm hoping for an all-positive column, just to show those evil message board fuckers I'm all about the good vibes...fuckers. :)

I think Superior is about worth it if you can get a bit of a discount. $19.99 is a bit steep, but about $15 is okay. If it means anything, I didn't like their robot book much at all. I'm always grateful for the review copies, though I have been buying more stuff on my own, like the Seth and Chet Brown stuff, EPILEPTIC. I can get some stuff from Fantagraphics but I buy PEANUTS myself on some half-assed principle :)
