What upcoming events on the cultural calendar are you looking forward to?
The hardback Gotham Central: On the Freak Beat comes out June 15. And I actually made a note about that on my calendar. Mostly because I got tired of looking it up, but still.
Oh and then the Casanova rerelease may finally start in July, I guess? Which means volume 3 will finally
finally
start next winter. Sigh. That’s a lot of forward-looking.
I’m interested in seeing Kick-Ass, but interest doesn’t always translate into action. I am more likely to make an effort to see Inception.
...Mostly, this time of year I look forward to fall.
What is up with this girl getting a dragon tattoo and playing with fire and kicking the hornet's nest? She seems like a wild child.
Whoo! I love her. She is so broken and badass.
the Mexican translation of Dragon Tattoo is called Men Who Didn't Love Women, essentially.
Well, it WAS essentially about that very thing. but stronger.
OMG these Schipperke/Terrier cross pups are much too cute.
On an un-cultural tip, it looks like my ketamine infusion might actually happen, after about two years of back and forth about it. I'm looking forward to that, even if it does mean two days off work sitting on my ass, probably with no internet other than my phone and no TV.
Actually, it sounds miserable, down the K-hole. But maybe it will work.
Crossing my fingers, ita.
Wasn't the Swedish title of the first "The Man Who Hated Women?" It was the Dutch title anyway. A friend of mine (Flemish) ended up reading it in a cafe in Provincetown filled, for some reason, with German lesbians. He was afraid he was going to get his ass kicked!
No TV in the hospital, ita? I hope it works, though, and it's easier to get through than you think.
I hope it works for you, ita, and isn't too terrible.
I got the awkwardest of the awkward Facebook messages today. My first real "boyfriend" was an asshole--lied, cheated, was an alcoholic and a drug dealer. He had apparently gotten his life together, married a nice girl and they had a couple of daughters. A couple of weeks ago, he got drunk, slapped, choked and pushed her in front of the kids (ages 8 and 4). He was arrested on domestic violence charges (and with his record of assult arrests, he's looking at jail time). His wife sent me a message asking my advice on what to do. Keep in mind, I don't have any contact with him and haven't this past 20 years. I told her, in short, take care of yourself and your kids and if you think it won't happen again, you're wrong. I hope she's smart enough to get out and stay out.
