New thing:
Not my finest work, but they can't all be condiment sex, now can they? A better pose would have been nice, but maybe I'll work on that tomorrow. Also, the little man on his shoulder is named Ignatius. I might draw the rest of him too.
Nothing new to say. Don't forget, dear and gentle readers, about the dinner tomorrow. 8 pm, Chuy's, be there. Or not, it's no skin off my nose. Lord knows I need my nose skin. Shit be important, for reals.

Dude. The Dillinger Escape Plan rocks! That CD has been in my player non-stop for the last week or so. Funny thing is, it came out in 2004. And, yes, some of the prog-rock bands are pretty high on themselves (no pun intended). I have been getting more into the proggish post-punk stuff lately. Kind of nebulous but with forms and lyrics and melodies. There is nothing more irritating than having to fast forward through 15 minutes of ambient noises. Check out Chiodos, The Sound of Animals Fighting, and The Fall of Troy. Good stuff.
The Dillinger Escape Plan just wasn't really my thing, I don't think. I liked a couple of songs on the CD, and those were the ones where they mixed in some regular vocals among the screaming. Might give them a second chance after a day or two.
As for prog-rock bands, the "fifteen minutes of ambient noise" thing is annoying as shit. Now, "proggish" bands, like Circa Survive, I can handle. Some of the virtuosity and willingness to improvise, but sticking with an actual structure to the songs. I'll have to track down those bands and give them a listen.
