I think I won't write a long post that requires any research tonight. I want to write a scene or three before I go to bed.
Stopped at Jack-In-The-Box last night on the way home. Only two cars in front of me -- good! Took me over 15 minutes to get through the drive-in -- bad! The teller tossed an antenna ball into my package, I think by way of apologizing for the long delay, but did he ask me if I WANTED an antenna ball? No.
So does anyone want a free antenna ball?
Picked up comics today: Books of Magic, which I haven't been reading, Ah! My Goddess, and 2 graphic novels: Ah! My Goddess (new one) and Celestial Zone vol 18. Celestial Zone is a comic from Singapore, the author/artist is well-versed in Japanese manga styles and Chinese kung-fu epic storytelling. It's basically a bunch of unbelievably powerful good martial artists against a larger group of even more powerful evil martial artists. Lots of big, drawn-out fight scenes and weird mumbo-jumbo martial arts magic. The author is a fantastic artist though, everything is crips and beautiful-looking, and the story's entertaining. And if the concept of super-human kung-fu storytelling seems weird, just replace the words "martial arts" with "mutant powers". ^_^
I'm annoyed at Tripod. Actually I'm annoyed at all free web sites that use the model of closing down the site when too much bandwidth is used. I can understand, and yet, I can't. What's the point of letting someone put up a web page if nobody can go see it? Anyway, there's a web site there with lyrics to Skip James's blues songs, but it's linked from a lot of blues sites now and it's constantly unavailable because of bandwidth issues, which is really starting to annoy me.
Bonus Trivia Question: The disc sent to the stars on Voyager contained (among other things) some Beethoven, some Chuck Berry, and a track by one of the blues artists I mentioned yesterday. Anyone know who it was, and which track?
