Lazy days with Caz and Copper...


Well today I decided to just take it easy and not do a damn thing. Every now and again I think I need to do that. I have been fighting this cold/cough now for a week, a pulled muscle, and looming deadlines. Well the deadlines have been met, the muscles is healing, and the cough is coming and going. So today I figured I would just chill out and lounge around the house. I definitely got some good napping in and I do find it necessary to withdraw from my fellow man every now and again just to relax and clear my head. But this was a special day for two reasons.
The first being that I found the new issue of Copper came out! Since going to school at SCAD I have been exposed to more than the traditional comic fare and web comics are very unique and abounding. One of my favorites is Copper by Kazu Kibuishi. He runs a great site over at Boltcity.com and it is definitely worth checking out. I think he has one of the best webcomics out right now and the way he presents it is also enjoyable. So take a look!
The other reason today was special was that my buddy Caz sent me three CD's via FedEx today. For those of you not in the know Caz is a pop culture guru and music is one of his specialties. Be it a question about music or a band, he generally knows it. So I asked him not too long ago to make a mix he would use if he were to go to the gym. Well this expanded into three CD's, one for work, one for play and as he puts it "one for being a badass". Now it is a bit early to tell but I have a feeling that these three albums may go down in history as some of the best mixes ever created by human hand. The "Green Album" aka as Merkle at Play is my favorite so far. But now I am going to lay down and listen to more tunes...Good day to you all
