One was this idea to make a mix cd and then just leave it somewhere to be found, like a bus or a coffee shop, and hope someone gives it a listen.

It was 2008. Rock and roll was officially declared dead. Communism was on the rise. Unemployment was at an all time high. The man was in full force, selling albums at the outrageous price of $25.63.

So I finished my paper on autobiographical comic books and caught a ride out to "town" to watch horror/romantic comedy, Shaun of the Dead. I don't think I've had that much fun at a movie since... well, since I saw Sky Captain a couple weeks ago. But forget about that, this movie is brilliant. Not everyone can pull of the romantic comedy set in zombie onslaught, but these guys pull it off.

The Ramones. In all of their half cartoon glory. I don't know where I was going with this, but I like how Johnny came out. It goes Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Marky. Joey and Marky were drawn last, and for some reason they came out more realistic. And Dee Dee has a real "Dan Clowes" thing going on there. If anyone gets that, stop reading comic books.

Prom rocked the hizzouse, for a recap hit up Maciej's post, and for pictures, there or maybe Tim Marco's corner of the web. I like this one especially, that is such a fine looking smoking jacket. There ain't much school left, which is great, and college is gonna rock.

The OC. Orange County. I started watching the OC durring breaks at my lifegaurding job (I wear that like a badge). I watched the first episode and thought it was the stupidest thing ever. I was caught, though, mostly by the character of Seth, and not because of his Jewish-Hunk good looks. He was witty, a loser, and listened to a hella lot of the same music as me. He wasn't like most other TV Martynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947703.post-1083630377120792452004-05-03T19:26:00.000-05:002004-05-03T19:30:23.030-05:00Try this trick and spin it. Yeah.
Oi, what's the count? 15 days, 19 Hours, and 48 minutes remaining? Wow, time goes fast, huh? To think, just four years ago- ah screw it. We're almost done and that's good enough for me. I entered the 21st century today. I finally got me a cell phone. Which rox. So yeah, hit me on the celly sometime. Tomorrow maybe.

Siddown a minute and give it a tick.
Well, the whole Blackfriars thing is done, and man, what a ride. I signed my name, in big green letters on stage right, I think right, and painted a badass landscape on the fake windows. Not to mention a nice cartoon in the men's bathroom. So yeah.
Prom stuff seems to be getting sorted, that's a good thing. I had something to say, and nowMartynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947703.post-1082401682496209092004-04-19T14:08:00.000-05:002004-04-19T14:12:06.186-05:00Ay. What a weekend.
So, some ups, some downs, mostly a good time. To recap, sox games are fun, work is hell, Kill Bill 2 is the best the direction in a movie I've seen in a long time, the OC is still cool, Major League and ML 2 are quality flicks, going to the Museum of Science and Industry in togas is cool, "shit" in French is supa funny, and Ska shows can be really fun when good things happenMartynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947703.post-1082175696990632952004-04-16T23:21:00.000-05:002004-04-16T23:25:36.890-05:00Well, this just sucks doesn't it? The London people are back, and yet no one is online. I'm leaving.
Oh, and I saw Kill Bill. Quality flick.

Yeah, so this is the begining of the end of Scene Hoppers. If I never get around to it, so I'm telling you now, the Hobo goes on to kill everyone but Andy. Or does he? You'll just have to wait and see.Martynoreply@blogger.com0
