Improvements

I am pleased to say that this week was considerably less terrible than the previous one. I managed to finish all my prints for photography AND develop my first role of film. I didn't even get panicky in the pitch black closet. I was so proud of myself.

Also, my first week at the comic shop happened to coincide with the release of Saga #18, which means it is the end of the current story arc (and Volume 3 will be out soon!)

Oh man, it was so good.

Seriously, you need to read them all.

And I went to the movies! So the Roxy movie theater has this Cult Series, which is a double feature of old cult films. I'm ashamed to say that I'd never been to one previous to last Thursday. It's only $10 to see two movies! Granted, yes they are old movies that I can download and watch in the comfort of my home (preferably in pajamas), but still it's cheap entertainment.

Last Thursday was the end of Month of the Bloodsucker and after getting invited out by a friend, I really couldn't refuse. I mean, who doesn't love the Lost Boys? As a bonus, I was getting to see an 80's vampire movie that I managed to miss completely.

Everyone (who loves vampires/the 80's) needs to see Near Dark. It is a ridiculous Cowboy-Vampire mash up complete with showdown at the end. Not to mention Bill Paxton being a total psychopath. Watch it for gratuitous blood, explosions and barely believable science.

This month they are having a double feature with the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Phantom of Paradise. I'll definitely be going to that one.


In other news, my still-life panting is coming along nicely. I spent another couple hours on it, so now it looks like this:

Next week I will have more color, promise.

That pretty much wraps up my week. Not a bad ending to the first month of the year. I think I'm getting a little better at making this a weekly habit (or at least dreading it less).

Now if only I can motivate myself to work on any of the various stories I have hiding in my computer files...
