Do you think Weird Al ever got groupies?

Comment Commentary

Shin- It's just disgraceful, isn't it?

Stacie- I swear, that woman is going to kill herself if you transfer.

DDG- And even then, I lost all respect for it after that American one with Tony Hawk.

Mimmi- It's like The Bachelor mixed with Survivor mixed with The Apprentice mixed with Desperate Housewives.. But not really.

Mal- Quiet, youse.

Art was better today. A lot of the period was silent (at least at our table- the rest of the class is unbelieveably loud), and we were all given our own little assignments. Being the few dedicated artists in the class (if you could call me that), our teacher tends to give us more individualized assignments. One person was told to make a satyrized version of The Night Before Christmas, another is replicating eight pictures from a famous version of A Christmas Carol, I'm doing comics (!!), and.. Well, the fourth person. I don't know what she's doing. :P

He wants me to stick primarily with political comics, because he's always been paranoid about being blamed for a school lawsuit, and I guess I can go with that.. But I'm still going to finish off all of the ideas I've had floating around in my head for the past five months.

Tomorrow he's bringing in some Life in Hell (Matt Groening) comics for me to look at. I've never had the chance to really look at Mr. Groening's early work, and I am really looking forward to it.

Phys Ed.. We got our asses handed to us, fifty to two. Nobody was even trying, especially me, and it was just sad. At least nobody was blaming me, as they seem to so often do.

The prospect of a LAN party after school convinced me into going over to a friend's house, but that never happened. Instead we pulled the regular sit-around-watching-TV-and-laughing-at-it deal.

I suppose the highlight was when we pooled together all of our profane knowledge for the common goal of cussing out the rabbit on Arthur. It was so brutally rude we found ourselves laughing so hard we weren't even making any noise for about fifteen minutes.

Once his mom got home, she announced that they had to go visit some relatives on the other side of town. I went along, and it was okay. Some of his family was really nice, but others were just.. Cold, I guess. There are times when I don't really feel welcome around his mom, but maybe I'm just paranoid.

I came back and watched Lost. I really liked the cinematography in this episode- there was one shot in particular that caught my eye. It's a rather pivotal scene, so I won't spoil it, but I do have this to say: They're showing the first episode next Wednesday at eight. I command you to watch it, because it's goddamn freaking awesome and you must have brain damage if you dislike it.

Though the polar bear's a bit of a turnoff. There are the illogical parts that will probably push a few people away from the series.

I don't know if tonight's episode was the season finale or what, but it wasn't the best cliffhanger ever. As far as I can remember, each episode had its own little twist at the end, and this one was good, but it wasn't executed as well as others.

I plan on hooking up the computer tomorrow after school. I'm not quite sure where we're going to put it, but my dad made a bit of a promise there, and I need Photoshop anyway, so yeah. Expect a new comic sometime soon.
