Sneakery Pimping
Dammit, I can't do any work without feeling guilt for not posting this week. Unfortunately, it's like feeling constipated: I feel blocked (or worse, having blogger's block!). But really, there's nothing to tell unless it's the crazed atmosphere of 'hurry and wait' at the office. What to do?
Ah, that magic word... links!
First of all, jasper of avalon.ph (also here) is holding a Moleskine notebook contest with several blogs. Go and check them out here. Personally, I don't use notebooks much but there's something to be said about having pretty notebooks like Moleskine or Picadilly, especially the decorated ones. Which is why I'm currently collecting blogs like moleskinerie, 'skine art, black cover and notebookism (and even an LJ community of moleskine users). I suppose it's akin to pen-collecting but really I'm just a cat with a magpie's eye and a packrat's heart.
In other news, ang bandang shirley just released their debut album in major record stores. I haven't found a copy yet but once I do, I'll get it signed by jing, selena and the rest of the band members for [identity-protected]. (Especially since jing bumped my car last Monday while trying to get out of parking during mads bajarias' book launch at Mag:net Katipunan! Hey you! Grrr!) Want some fun music to dance to? Try this one.
In comics news, andrew is still having problems with his kare-kare komiks kollection (...awww). But in the meantime, check out his Storyhunters series which lights a firecracker under the butt of the whole idea of interstitial/metafiction. Here's part one, part two and the concluding part three.
On the other hand, if you're old-school, I know someone who's selling the individual issues of The Wake of the Sandman comic book series (#70-75). A bit battered but still good condition if I do say so myself. Leave a comment if you're interested and I'll pass the good word on to you.
What else... Anyone else want to spread some pimpery around?
