GOING GOTH FOR NOTHING

After I drew today’s comic, I was a little bit lost as to what incentive sketch I should throw together that tied in with it. Then, looking back at the first panel, it kind of hit me and, well, this was the result.

Why is Goth Jared such a happy Goth? Because he feels so AWESOME!

After a summer of nearly no romantic comedy releases, Cami is suffering withdrawal and is jonesing for a fix. To that end, she is supremely excited for Just Like Heaven. I have to say that I agree. I am also very excited for this movie.

Sweet Home Alabama excluded (I thought it was cloying, regional hucksterism – trying to net that “NASCAR Dad” dollar), I greatly enjoy Reese Witherspoon in romantic comedies. She seems smart and winning and I think she’s fun to watch.

I’m also quite fond of Mark Ruffalo, who is charming in every film he appears in. His performance was the only thing redeeming about 13 Going On 30 and I like that he’s able to switch things up. His role as Detective Fanning in Collateral was also satisfying. To me, he’s an actor that’s pretty much good in any genre even if the film around him is total crap. He’s the next John Cusack without all of the “boombox-over-the-head” romanticism in his background.

Of course, the big news about this movie is that it’s the first post-Napoleon Dynamite role for fro-less Jon Heder. Gotta admit I’m suckered by his trailer closing line delivery of “I’m ninety-nine percent ∗parched∗ right now. I could sure use a ∗co-la∗.” What can I say? I’m easily amused. It’ll be interesting to see if he can trump such an instantly identifiable and unique character like Napoleon.

Not much news right now except I know there are a handful of you out there waiting for me to deliver a few shirts. I’m getting to it! Haven’t forgotten you.

I’m steering myself toward a sea change in my life right now and I’m kind of doing some stuff to put me on firm ground, mentally speaking. I’m making a couple of changes to my habits and routines. So hopefully I can kind of fold it into a pattern that allows me to be a little more productive while being a little less exhausted.

I’m looking forward to it.

Oh – I’m still looking for some programming help with the site. Mostly archive functions. So if any of you out there have experience with PHP or maybe even databases, please contact me!

ROLLINS UPDATE

Posted In: Blog

So I had a bunch of you guys e-mail me and ask how it was seeing Henry Rollins perform last Friday…

Okay. None of you asked that. But I took some pictures and feel like bragging so here’s a link to a post I whipped up in the THorum detailing my adventure.

Enjoy!
