Life’s not exactly rollicking right now. Too much work, or maybe it seems like too much work because I have been procrastinating for quite sometime now, and the deadline doesn’t just loom nearer, it positively hugs me in the face and refuses to let go. <\/p>\n
That doesn’t quite mean I am not *ahem* indulging myself. <\/p>\n
Friday, i got the DVDs of Ringu<\/i> and Demon City Shinjuku<\/i> and the audio CD of Danny Elfman: Music For a Darkened Theatre Volume 1<\/i>, which had been ordered three weeks ago. My first online order, delivered piping hot from the US of A. Yippee!<\/p>\n
Preacher<\/i> continues to blow my mind. The profanity and the gore serve as a neat counterpoint to the interesting character developement – punctuated by off-the-cuff conversations on John Wayne movies , Laurel and Hardy enthusiasts as opposed to Chaplin fans, religious “revelations” which shock and evoke peals of laughter at the same time. Preacher<\/i> is undoubtedly the most fun I have had in months. I wonder, as always, whether I should proceed slowly or whether I should complete the 66-issue run in one extended sitting. So far, I have gotten to issue 25. <\/p>\n
I have started replaying No One Lives Forever<\/i>, which used to run choppily on my old Celeron-366 machine. The gameplay is superb, as everyone and his mother can tell you. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter<\/i> is static at the Babylonian level because my gore quota is being supplied by Preacher, for the moment. <\/p>\n
I seem to be reading more comics than books this year. Not that I mind. It’s just that the combination of downloaded CBRs and Gotham reprints has succeeded in making me feel absolutely at peace. The word “satisfied” has never been used in conjuction with “comic needs” in my lifetime until now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
