Okay, a few things. I meant to do this earlier but I haven’t been in a good place the last few days…ya know, more than usual. I had a thing at work and it pretty well fucked me up. And sure enough, I had the last couple days I could have been writing, or casting, or drawing, or whatever any of the dozen or so projects I’ve started over the previous six months or so, and in turn, did nothing. I mean, I worked on building resources for the Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game but it’s not as though that’s paying me anything. Granted, nothing else I do gets me money either but I think you know what I mean. In any case, the depression I’ve been experiencing lately is still going strong. In case you were worried I was on an upswing or something. That’s also why I haven’t posted the new episode yet. I’m putting the final touch on it tonight and it’ll post this Friday.
Now then, everything else. Obviously while I’ve been accomplishing nothing worthwhile, I’ve been watching TV. I started up on Heroes again. Turns out the last time I watched through it I got into season three. I think I hadn’t watched most of seasons three and four of that show. There’s quite a bit of it I don’t remember. I’ve said this about many shows, Arrow, probably some others I’ve written about here, but season one of Heroes is fantastic. Sure, the overall quality of the writing waned across the last two seasons. I think that was primarily because many of the plot points storytelling beats were effectively tools commonly used in comic book writing. Which makes sense given this show was designed and intended to be a live action comic book. A notion all fine and well but we all saw how in the middle of Heroes’ run on television, Marvel with Paramount kicked off a decade’s worth of the some of the finest films in a very long time and those films were focused on many of the lesser or not at all known characters from Marvel Comics. Thinking about it now, there is a fairly clear line between Heroes and the then impending success of the Marvel Studios films. Long story, short, Heroes is still a pretty good series. Not great, but I enjoy it all the same.
And now that it’s been two days since I started this, I should probably finish it, finally. I really am trying to get these things working again. It’s been rough lately but I haven’t given up, not yet at least. It is helpful seeing people coming to the site recently. We’ve been getting clicks, as they say, for the last couple months. I really appreciate that and I will have reasons for all of you to keep coming by. And don’t worry, when I do finally figure out how to kill myself, you’ll all be the first to know. Until later.
