Destruction is always easier than creation. It takes hours to build what can be demolished in seconds. Less than seconds. Sometimes it just takes a word and all of the blood sweat and tears are wiped away, dust motes in the gale.<\/p>\n
Such as, say, my planned updates of alarming frequency.<\/p>\n
It's true; I find that I have less worthy to say and thus put off making an entry. As I said to Rida, the only blogger worse than one who does not update because they have nothing to say is the one who DOES update with nothing to say.<\/p>\n
Not that I would ever cast stones. Despite the fact that my house is made of stone, not glass. What, you think me a fool? <\/p>\n
Let's see. Substantive material for the update.<\/p>\n
1. I've lost control of the Draumr Myspace page. The login to update it is not working and all efforts to contact Myspace.com support have failed. The Destroyer is not pleased.<\/p>\n
2. 30 Seconds to Mars is far cooler than they have any right to be. Their two CDs – "30 Seconds to Mars" and "A Beautiful Lie" are in heavy rotation on my iTunes.<\/p>\n
3. As if I didn't have enough reading to do, I've been on a huge graphic novel kick lately. Yes, Virginia, that's a fancy term for "comic books". I like the format a lot more than the monthly releases – for one, complete story arcs are presented at once without waiting, and secondly, NO ADS! Lately I've enjoyed two by DC Comics: Identity Crisis was EXCELLENT, and Infinite Crisis was good but not AS good. The two stories (related, if the names weren't a clue) really take the iconic DC Comics Heroes and somehow manage both to portray them in a new light and maintain their unique archetype characteristics – Superman is a boy scout, Batman the brooding detective, etc. Very good stuff, and very adult in theme. <\/p>\n
Wow, look at all that material. Go me. <\/p>\n
