The Coolest Month

[tealin]

October rules.

3rd: New Decemberists CD (The Crane Wife)
9th: Thanksgiving with family in bucolic paradise
13th: New [LAST!(?)] Snicket Book (The End)
20th: 'nother TRIP! (Duuude!) and Nightmare Before Christmas comes out in theatres (where I haven't seen it since 1993) and in 3D (which will be interesting if nothing else).
31st: HALLOWEEN!

In the meantime, I'm making a horrible misappropriation of my time by scanning my gag sketch stuff instead of finishing my coat enough that I can put on the ornamentation when I go away this weekend. But dangit, I want to post some art, and to finish something of my own that I can be proud of. And I should have taken my shower before so that my hair could have been drying while doing so, but that's where I'm off to next. What has become of my ludicrously idiosyncratic time management skills? Alas...

Regarding the title: I would do a parody of that stanza in The Wasteland but I don't have the mental powers at the moment. Maybe later.

I have heard the new Decemberists CD in its entirety, and let me tell you, AMAZING. Have you heard any of the lead singer's solo stuff? It's brilliant.

Nightmare? In 3D? I'm not sure how I feel about this...

It's not in 3D animation, it's ... sorta ... 'remastered' I guess, for those polarised glasses. Hey, anything to see it in the theatre again.

Glad to hear the CD's amazing! (Not that I doubted, but you never know...) I haven't heard Mr Meloy's solo stuff; I'm sure it's equally inspired but to be perfectly honest there's only so much of his voice I can take without the magnificent and imaginative background instrumentals.

Oh, I DO know what you mean. But the solo stuff he's done has been quite interesting, mostly old traditional (I think Irish?) songs.
