Haven't started getting ready for the con yet. I need to tonight or tomorrow so I can come home Thursday night and go straight to sleep.

I finished reading "Duel at Kitononji" before heading off to work today. This is the 17th volume of collected Usagi Yojimbo, I think. I've been reading this comic since about 1984, when I was first getting into comics, when it was published as part of Steve Gallacci's multi-comic manga... can't remember the name off hand. When my cousin Jim Hirtzel lost his leg and was in a hospital here in Seattle I bought him copies of the first three or four collected Usagi. I think he liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the time, but he liked the Usagi Yojimbo comics quite a lot. He's grown and with his own kids now. My nephew Austin would probably like these comics too, but it's not as easy to buy the full set as a gift these days. ^_^

Anyway it was always a fun comic but over the years has become such a rich and deep and long saga that it really has few peers. Stan Sakai is a master at what he does. I was thinking it would be very cool to see the entire saga animated... would take hundreds of episodes to do it all of course, but I can dream.

Otherwise life is quite ordinairy, which is good because I like ordinairy.

I've been thinking of doing a cd all of songs about animals or with animal themes. Actually I've thought about this before, but I started thinking today about actually doing it for the Con. I'll have to assemble it tonight or tomorrow night... and I have plans to do a different cd as well... but anyway, here's all the possible songs I could think of off the top of my head:

Mammal by They Might Be Giants
Jackalope, Bear Up Bison, Concrete Animals etc by Shonen Knife they do songs about counting sheep and cats too... Catnip Dream, I Am A Cat
Nellie the Elephant by Toy Dolls
Lion Sleeps Tonight
Mouse Police Never Sleeps and Heavy Horses by Jethro Tull
Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats
Fly Like An Eagle? by Steve Miller Band
Rockin Robin... Timbuk 3 has a fun variation on this
Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon

Freebird? by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Disco Duck by Rick Dees (I don't own this though)
