Yesterday I watched Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes), which I had checked out of the library. It's the movie that Vanilla Sky (which I haven't seen) is based on. The movie didn't do much for me. It was okay, but nothing spectacular.
Books
Finished up Monstrous Regiment on Friday & then read several graphic novels over the weekend:
The Return of Lum: Lum in the Sun by Rumiko Takahashi.
Inu Yasha, v.14 also by Takahashi. I think Inu Yasha may be my favorite of Takahashi's work, although the Maison Ikkoku series is also excellent.
Lucifer, bk. 2: Children & Monsters written by Mike Carey & illustrated by various. I like these stories, but there is a certain "Vertigo-ishness" about them that kind of bugs me. I think it comes from people trying to write like Neil Gaiman & not succeeding.
Electric Girl, v.1 and volume 2 (which isn't listed at Amazon) by Michael Brennan.
Also this weekend I created a couple new mix CDs. Ever since I got access to a CD burner, I've considered re-doing one of my very first mix tapes "Sex & Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll" in the new format. I finally did it. Instead of one side per theme, it's one CD. If you go to The Art of the Mix and use the advanced search option to look for mixes by PhilipF, you'll find this weekend's work (along with my other mixes).
