Alone
June 27th, 2008I’m all alone until Wednesday afternoon and plan on mulling over the following:
- Why is Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” so damn good? I’m reading it in trades and am about to crack open volume 7. I’m no Evil Bender when it comes to my zombie preparation, but I’d like to think reading Kirkman has helped hone my survival skills.
- Why do I use words I despise? I can’t stand ‘hone.’ Also, I’m not a big fan of ‘despise.’
- Should I start writing again? Should I take it seriously this time? I’ve been fairly interested in journalism these past few months. Did I pursue the wrong writing degree? That questions assumes there is a ‘right’ writing degree.
- Why can’t Andi Smith catch a break on Last Comic Standing?
- I must have fallen out of the graces of my old MA/MFA friends because nobody told me that GM published an article about treadmill journaling. Note to self - be better about KIT. But then again, maybe my old MA/MFA friends like me after all…no one told me that DD was proposing a radio project on Pete Seeger and no suggested i join him as a research assistant.
- Life is less lonely when you’re playing a good, story-driven video game. I recently finished GTA4 and genuinely miss Niko, Kate, Dwayne, and Brucie. I’m playing Assassin’s Creed and feel no attachment to the characters.
- Why was I annoyed by Veronica Bellmont a year ago? Why am I a fan now?
