Understanding

I spent my day shucking corn, which was hilarious and fun (ANY LAST WORDS!?), and then spreading butter on them, like I do my thighs every Thursday. I thought manning the booth would just be sitting there doing absolutely nothing, but it got pretty stressful. It's okay though, I found it to be enjoyable nonetheless, if a bit tiring.

After a bit of a consultation, I felt a bit better about myself, though I still feel like I'm a selfish jerk. Started V For Vendetta yesterday. Alan Moore is a genius, to be frank. His stories transcend stereotypes of most comic books - their supposed silliness and two-dimensional characters; there is an elaborate and remarkably dense narrative in each of his stories, with an even heavier emphasis on cogent characterization. His work is better than most "greats" of literature. I'm taking my time with V for Vendetta, soaking up every nuance and word, because I blew through Watchmen way too quickly. I'm definitely going to reread that too.

The play's going well too. I recently wrapped up Act 2, the ending to it was a bit cornier than I would've liked, but I thought it was decent, if not good foreshadowing and setting up for the next Act. I plan on introducing a lot more plot points, hopefully I can do them some justice.

I haven't been feeling the blog lately. Not to say I'm not going to post something every day, but it just hasn't been on my list of priorities. The last few entries have been made at night, right before the next day. Oh well.

Cheers to it all being worth it in the end.
