Husbands and knives

A camphone picture from The Police concert last week. The damaging wind and hail held off all night, and our very upper deck seats were far, but I still enjoyed the show. It was 2 hours of hits, after The Fratellis opened. Basic setlist, moving Walking up to slot 3.

Alan Moore, Art Speigelman, and Daniel Clowes Simpsons episode!
Maus-y Ghost World-y Watchmen fun for us! "Husbands and Knives" The three men figure into a subplot centered on Comic Book Guy, who finds himself in direct competition with a new comic book shop called "Coolsville Comics & Toys," run by a fella named Milo (Jack Black).

lemmings into shiny metal boxes

I see you've sent my letters back And my LP records and they're all scratched (Can't stand losing you)

Love can mend your life But love can break your heart (Message in a bottle)

But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone(Every little thing she does is magic)

Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission (De do do do, De da da da)

Too many cameras and not enough food' Cause this is what we've seen (Driven to Tears)

Is anybody alive in here? Nobody but us (Miss Gradenko)

We have this strange obsession You have the means in your possession (Tea in the Sahara)

I have only come here seeking knowledge Things they wouldn't teach me of in college (Wrapped around your finger)

Tomorrow night we're going to see The Police. It's the first big stadium tour I've seen in a long time, but for The Police reunion I'll make an exception from the small club bands I usually see. Zenyatta Mondatta and Synchronicity I played to oblivion.

I'm sorry that Jane Magazine will stop being published. I have a subscription now, and always loved the more feminist take on beauty, life and music, and sex.

I read The Sinestro Corps, Criminal 7, and SheHulk 19. Still have Dark Tower, DMZ 21, JSA 7 and Jack of Fables 12 to read.

10 days until California, Los Angeles and Santa Monica!
