2010-12-26T21:51:00.004-07:00

This is my second test entry to see if I can keep up the steam required for regular blogging. I was hoping to start posting on a daily (or semi-daily) basis, but the Christmas holiday got in the way of that plan almost immediately.

As 2011 nears, I'm trying to re-establish regular comic reading habits again. Sometimes, it helps me to read a few short books in order to feel the accomplishment of finishing books more quickly, rather than tackling longer books which necessitate longer waits to reach that feeling. Having finally completed Far Arden yesterday, I decided that I wanted that feeling as soon as possible so I bypassed the books on the top of my "to read" stack (7 more to read from the SPX) and instead read Aetheric Mechanics by Warren Ellis and Gianluca Pagliarani. I've been wanting to read this one since I first heard of its release a few years ago and I really couldn't wait to read it. Though I have comics in the closet that I've had for well over a year without reading them, I read this one just a few weeks after it came in the mail. So what do I have to say about it? That's the question that I'm searching for with this blog. I could review the book and praise its merits; gush loquaciously about the clever and satisfying story by Warren Ellis, or create in your mind vivid images of my dumbstruck, drooling face at the sight of the beautifully rendered artwork; but, as I said in the last entry, I generally don't like book reviews. I've been reading comics long enough to believe that I can judge whether I'm going to like a comic just from a brief preview, and with a proven track record I'd show you that I'm right, so I stopped reading (comic) book reviews years ago. Why would I want to venture into territory in which I have no interest and what must surely be well-trodden ground?

So I'll let those indirect compliments above stand in regard to my feelings about Aetheric Mechanics. In short? I loved it. I really think it's amazing and every fan of Planetary--every fan of comics--should read it immediately. I also read the Secrets & Lies anthology from Magic Inkwell Press and Alan Moore's Magic Words today, and though I like both, neither left me with a strong impression for recommendation. I did get that desired feeling of finishing more books, which is great, and now I'm anxious to dive into something a little longer. I believe Captain America: Road to Reborn is up next. I really need to get back into that series before I start forgetting everything that came before.

That is all.

Cut it up in pieces and put it in a bowl.

2010-12-23T20:07:00.003-07:00

I haven't kept a real blog in years, but lately I've been wondering if maybe it's time to start one up again. I don't know who would actually read it or what I will find myself writing about most often, but I want to do it, for no other reason than I enjoy blogs and wish more people in my real life would participate in the blogosphere.

It's Christmas Eve eve and I'm sitting in my living room, watching a Spongebob Christmas special with my wife and daughter. I've been spending most of my time lately working and trying to keep the house in order for the holiday, instead of reading comics, which is what I was looking forward to when the semester ended. I started Far Arden by Kevin Cannon and I really like what I've read so far but I haven't been able to find the time to read it much. Of course, spending every evening watching Big Love Seasons 3 with Christina doesn't leave me time for much else.

I've been playing a lot of chess lately, too, on my iPhone, which I really enjoy. Again, I wish more people in my real life would participate. Oh well.

Thought: For the past 2 and a half years, I've been keeping track of every book I read and listen to, using this blog to record the list (see previous posts). I really don't think I want to do the same thing in 2011, though. Maybe I can combine my desire to start blogging again with my obsessive need to make lists--I could blog about the books I read instead of just listing them. But I generally hate book reviews. Why would I want to review books? Well, maybe I won't review the books so much as take note of what it is I enjoy most (or least) about each one. Could I make the Dome Collection into something worth writing about?
