The Chosen One

We took the trek down to Bakersfield and picked out our puppy. We had to chose one because others were interested in the pups, annd we had pick of the litter and didn't
want to do it by picture alone. We will drive down to get him up on April 1st when he is 8 weeks old (he needs his momma till then).

Say hello to our pup Byron!

Since last session:


• Last Drinks: A complimentary bottle of wine at the Bakersfield Hotel while watching….



•Watched:
Fantastic Four
hh
Not only nonsensical, but boring too. Dr. Doom a stockbroker, what?


• Read:
Danger Girl, J. Scott Campbell. hhh
Bang! pow! kick! punch!
This comic sets out to be an over the top action-packed adventure comic. While it is no great piece of literature it is pretty fun. Of all the image crew I always liked Campbell's stuff the best.
Though sometimes he gets a bit too nooddlley and and a bit too boob-ely.


•Listened to:
Fever and Mirrros, Bright Eyes hhhh
Holly whiny pretentiousness! Not that I don't really like it.


RATING SCALE h Utter shite hh Don't bother hhh Average hhhh nicely done hhhhh farking brilliant

Revenge of the Puppy

After our pleasant experience with Bandit, JB and I (JB did most of the work) started looking into breeders. She came across one that came highly recommended and who had a pregnant pup. After some discussion we gave a down payment to get pick of the litter.

The doggy gave birth Monday, 3 girls and 2 boys.
Weee.


The whole caboodle

Just the boys.
Boys of the litter

And to not become a crazy dog person (yet), here is a skecth I did during brunch. It's just a lamp post.

Since last session:

•Last Drink:
Maker's Mark. Free with a film opening last night.

•Read: Blame Vol. 1-3, Tsutomu Nihei: hhhh
The protagonist makes his way through an endless metal labyrinth that has now engulfed the world.
Creepy art, filled with beautiful decaying cyber punk architecture.


Blame! volume 2 (Blame!)


•Watched: The Proposition, Nick Cave: hhhh
An intense Australian Western written and scored by Nick Cave. Brutal and slow paced. A much more internal film then most of this genre.
