Some days, I hate Hollywood. I really, really hate Hollywood. Why am I here? While I'm at it, why is the sky blue?

Very depressed and in full-on "fuck this shit" mode. I need to get past certain things and try to find my creative groove again, but that's proving predictably hard to do. This is the low ebb of my mood, the point at which I usually call B. and tell him I'm moving to Ohio to go to library school, and then we call each other whiny bitches and arrange to go out for a drink.

On the other hand, it's hard to see the humorous side of this right now, and B. was as glum on the phone earlier as I've ever heard him. Going to try to re-group on Wednesday.

Upcoming Greg Rucka projects: oh my stars.

I'm curious about the Queen & Country novel, but I'm really excited about the return of Sasha Bordeaux. The possibility of her having her own series is even more thrilling.

Other stuff I'm pleased about:

The June issue of Catwoman will be drawn by Sean Phillips. I let out a tiny little squeak of happiness at this news. The story description worries me; I have a sinking suspicion about the victim is going to be (based on nothing but a gut feeling), and this should be a perfect opportunity for Brubaker to twist the knife. Of course, this apparently happens in May's issue, #31, and I don't know that Gulacy is up to the task. Meh.

Also in June, issue #1 of Sleeper Season 2. The cover art and description made me reveal my giggling fangirl side for the second time in less than five minutes.

As I said before: oh my stars.

Reading Crisis On Infinite Earths. Despite the uber-80s fashion statements (e.g., Supergirl's headband -- oy) and the occasional, uh, stereotypical comic book dialogue ("Your apes are more highly advanced than humans -- yet, like them, your first instinct is to violence! How sadly similar are your species!"), it's a good read.

And interesting as a bit of comic book history, not just for what it sets up for the future of the DCU, but for seeing how conventions have changed over the past nineteen years -- thought balloons have fallen almost entirely out of favor, for one, as have third-person omniscient narrative captions. Captions these days tend to be first-person limited POV, if they're used at all, and take the place of thought balloons.

Attempts to distract myself here not really working.
Music:: silence. yep.
Mood:: depressed
