| THIS IS A READ-ONLY ARCHIVE FROM THE SORABJI.COM MESSAGE BOARDS (1995-2016). |

I liked it! Arthur's cute. I wasn't pleased with the change from Der Fleidermaus to Batmanuel, though I did appreciate his cell phone ring. (Hee! It's called "salsa" -- my roommate used to use it.) I also enjoyed the fortune cookie/"it's a message from my teeth!" bit and the back of Jimmy Carter's head. I'm concerned, though. There are things in the comic/cartoon that just can't translate -- for example, how can they make Chairface Chippendale? I love him, but what would his head look like? |
|
Heh. Have I written about the time I played Win, Lose, or Draw with Ben Edlund? That was a trip. He's one goofy guy. ps I haven't forgotten about your cd. I have to find out if Bob has the remix done yet, but I quit my job, so I've barely seen him since early August. |

kevin's roommate jeff taped it. i didn't get to see it cuz at the last minute k was offered free passes from one of his freelance clience to IMAX last night and we got a sneak preview of the 3D movie. can't remember what it's called but holy fuck it was incredible. i mean, the animation and artistry was phenominal, gorgeous. and that shit was right up in your face. the miracle i guess is the ocular nerve. that we can perceive something like that, or that we can create something that takes full advantage of our circuitry is something to ponder. also, there was a Simspon's vignette in it. |
|
also, and i'm mad because kevin lost one of my original tick videotapes which had some bitchin episodes on it. |
|
Sarah: I have been told that people are selling the Tick episodes on ebay. One acquaintance of mine was able to score the entire series on CD-ROM. I don't know if any are currently up for auction, but you could look. |
i watched this really awesome Frontline documentary about Saddam Hussein and his threat, perceived and real. Pretty fucking scary. Frontline is so god damn authoritative I was scared. I'll try and watch it just for you next time spider. |
Don't do it for me, Patrick. Do it for JUSTICE. |
As for Ben Edlund: back when there was a Words and Pictures Museum (RIP) here in Northampton, they used to have some crazy member events. One year, they had a signing and a party with Ben Edlund, Evan Dorkin, Sarah Dyer and David Lapham. During the party, there was a big game of win lose, or draw, with the artists doing the drawing. I got to be on Ben's team, and we had a blast. He's a lanky guy, with a capital "I" tattooed on each forearm. He said it accentuates his lankiness, and he wanted to have his own pronoun. |
me laugh. show good. ya know i've only seen the cartoon 3 times? sad, i know. I had to catch the 2nd re-re-plays on Showcase or Bravo or one of those channels. See i usually only watch shows between 1 and 4am. I can't imagine what i was doing with my time when they first ran, as few things are more important to me than cartoons ;) the Family Guy season premier put on before it made one hell of an hour for tv. yeehaw! |
Wisper, go to that Ebay link and get yourself some big blue righteousness. Even the episode titles are funny. "the tick vs. arthur's bank account" - ha! |
WE had a pizza and beer party for the crew. However, I did catch this weird ass hour and a half of carttons on Cratoon netwoork from 10:30-12, which consisted of this bizaare Brak show, Another bizaare show that was set under water, and Space Ghost. |
So I'm now missing "The Tick"! Great----my TV shit the bed two or three weeks ago and I never thought I'd miss the Idiot Box so much. SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! |

With a big LS. like this: LS. LS P.S. Don't ever pass out before Nate when he has his camera. He'll be signing your forehead with his nutsack. |

I love the Bjork episode. LS |
|
|
Bjork was on Spaceghost. She played his wife. He denied it at first, but then admitted that he did it a long time ago. She was totally hillarious. I don't get good cable in the dorms either. San Jose is one of the last places in the country that still has an A side and a B side for cable. I get only A. Comedy Central, MTV, SciFi, CNN, Cartoon Network, TNT, etc are all on B cable. I hate it. LS |

I loved the cartoons. |

FOX TV, everyone. 8:30 EST. Watch it. |
It looks like it should be fun. Hopefully I'll get a clear signal from one of the two Fox stations in the area. I'm a liitle bit out of the Washinton range and Baltimore's signal is kind of week. I spent good money for a decent roof top antena. I got better reception from my old rabbit ears. |
|
I did see the Tick. And, really enjoyed it. I'll try to catch it again next week. |
On 9/11 I had cateract surgery. For months I've been fighting a bad back. Now I have gallstones. Rats!!! I'd user stronger language. But, work frowns on that. |
|
The ER gave me some Zantak intraveniously (I know thats spelled wrong). Plus a pain pill. I spent the rest of the day catching up on the sleep I missed. The worst part right now is keeping my mind focused. Writing this is really hard. And, forget work - trying to read anything technical just sends me right to La-La Land. zzzzz... |
|
:) I want Agatha to send us the mail art we sent her 10+ years ago. |
address. I had assumed that it just got lost in the mail as a result. Do the young people even send CDs anymore, or just share spotify playlists? |
Also i don't know any young people. |
|
|
burn you a copy? Or something more recent. I have acquired a little bit of music in the intervening years... |
