Please Don't Suck.

PRESS.

It's fun to get to do interviews re: the music. This might be the first official Hypefactor interview that I can think of...

It covers the Big A as well, for you old timers.

Enjoy

Promo.

So, this is cool week. I have my first manga, STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION, and my first feature DVD, THE SPIRIT, out. Last week, the second issue of THE SPIRIT run I co wrote came out as well. I've been fortunate enough to do some press, which you can read about here:

Stoic.

It's amazing how infrequently I update this. I'm actually sorry about that. More sorry there are things I'll have missed to look back on....

Today is Bunny day. I love bunnies. This week I was on partial Uncle Duty. Nephew is TEN now. Funny, complicated, handsome, bright and way too obsessed with technology. I felt the South Park Fishsticks episode was too important for him to miss, if only to kill any remote interest he might have in Kanye. Hopefully, that worked and he has left New York with an appreciation of the new Kasabian songs, which are getting huge airplay here at MOGworld. I'm sure in the rare moments I am that I will be rambling about this record all year. You've been warned. Anyhow, nephew and I got some Xbox time in and we grabbed our sizzling rice per usual. We also watched Dannie Yen act "stoic" in the film bio IP MAN, based on the life of the martial artist who trained Bruce Lee. How much of this was based in reality I have no fucking clue, but it was fun to watch. I also educated nephew and his mother on the wonders of Dokebi, which the Koreans of the family claim is the best NY Korean food they have had.

Been at the studio every now now and then. Mostly cutting vocals. Getting there. Just 3, maybe 4 songs left, but I did enjoy singing the album opener last week. It sounded good and fresh. I'm gonna try and get back there this week. I feel like as the wedding approaches, my time is more and more limited. But we'll get there. And it will Own. As my nephew would say.

We celebrated the 30th anniversary of all things Jessie. She is wonderful. Bozu was involved though Jessie wasn't. Little cupcakes were.

Random stuff:

1. I am possibly interested in these young mancs: http://delphic.cc/counterpoint/ Keep and eye on them. I could be wrong.

2. My second issue of THE SPIRIT came out via DC Comics last week. Hopefully you'll get it and dig it.

3. Speaking of THE SPIRIT, the little seen and harshly raped movie will be out on DVD this Tuesday. They did a nice job with it, though I haven't seen the Blue Ray yet. I hear that's even better.

4. I wrote a story for Tokyopop's first STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION manga, which is out in stores now. Get it here: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Next-Generation-v/dp/1427812721/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239583354&sr=8-1

Anyway, If I forget anything, remind me, especially if you were there. Let me know.
