linotype printing lessons, materlistic feelings.

today i had chinese buffet for lunch and of course i will not need a dinner. After lunch I spent four hours learning how to use a linotype printing machine. It's a really big machine with all kinds of gears and plates and motors and really makes you feel like your in the 1920's. I now have these neat metal slugs that say lucky creature on them now for use in a printing press and i can use a linotype machine although i doubt i would be able to fix anything if it went wrong, which happens alot with old machinery. I can't imagine what making a newspaper must of been like not so long ago.

I also have been spending way too much money lately with the car and all kinds of other stuff needing fixing, but yet today i bought a used nintendo 64 with superman 64, described to me by the sales clerk as the Worst video game ever made.
So naturally i had to have it. Also just got the latest sigur ros takk and am listening to it as i type. And then as usual were the comics,


Convesations # 2 By jeffrey brown and james kolchaka, a must have for artists as i sure you people have always pondered these questions. For those like myself with no artistic talent, it is a fun enjoyable read.

House of M # 8 The finale to Brian Michael Bendis saga hits and if Marvel doesnt erase the events this will send shockwaves through the marvel U. I say overall the series gets a b from me as a few issues were pretty much too slow and pointless.
ok. have a great day! don't spend as much as i am!
