I know I said I would try to post something more interesting, but I decided to post something much less interesting instead.

In my continuing experiments with creating an online archive of songs I've made, here's another collection of music for you to download.

For the not-that-interested, here's one track to get: "You Just Don't Exist", a cover of a Plumtree song (recorded by me in May 2005, after finishing Scott Pilgrim Vol 2).

I put this set together in October 2006, then kind of forgot about it for a while. It's a good variety of miscellaneous tracks I recorded between 2002 and early 2006, stuff that never got included on the "official" collections, covers, junk. I tried to correct the sound on everything, so it shouldn't be too offensive to your ears. Some points of interest, some fun stuff, whatever.

Here's some more information on each track.

Last night I dreamed I had a Wii. Then I woke up and I was all excited and I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized I was all excited because I thought I had a Wii. But I don't.

I also had a "I have to go to the bathroom but can't" dream. Then I woke up and went to the bathroom.

Exciting!

There is a German edition of Lost at Sea for those of you who need a German edition of Lost at Sea. There is also a Polish edition, which I received in the mail the other day, but I don't know how to find that one on the internet.

Foreign editions of Scott Pilgrim in 2007, maybe? I don't know yet. Foreign editions are weird, and I obviously can't tell how "good" the translation is, or how faithful, etc. I'd like to have a French version of my books, because I can read French and it would be really interesting. I wonder if it would feel like a new book to me, or if I would just keep nit-picking at all the inaccuracies of the language? At least with French there are certain phrases that are really great and maybe some of those phrases would be used in the translated editions of my books?

Anyway, if you are German or Polish and get a chance to read the corresponding translated edition of Lost at Sea, please let me know how that works out for you.

Hello new year! I would draw something commemorative, but I'm very busy. :|

There is an ebay auction for some Scott Pilgrim Vol 3 artwork that I want to keep you aware of. It ends tomorrow sometime. I think it should go higher because I would like to make more money on it. There better be some furious last-minute action on it.

recent obsessions:

the cover of this book


the Japanese logo for UNICO (the baby unicorn)

It cleared up a bit and the cats went outside. Mona likes to sit in the hammock on hot days. She always used to like it when I put her in a plastic bag and swung her around, and I guess this is sort of the same thing.

Anyway, this photo is just so classically bizarre that I thought I would force you all to look at it.

I will balance that out with a super lame photo of my wet cat.

i might post again later with some artwork or something like that. for now, another stupid cat photo.

Today I heard that someone I used to know is pregnant! With a baby in her tummy! And it didn't freak me out or anything! The past is vague and gone, and the present is here and now and pretty okay.

I can't post anything, because 99% of the 2nd volume is spoilers if read out of order, but rest assured that I am drawing the best stuff I've ever drawn.

We're moving to Halifax next week. If any Toronto friends are reading this, sorry I haven't seen you guys in so long and that I'm such a jerk. If I don't see you before we go, I'll be back another day.

You guys should all obviously download this new Of Montreal song over here. It's like, so great and stuff! Chekkitouutttt!!!

OMG, you guys should also sign up on the Secret Friend Society livejournal feed!!!

I put up a bit torrent of my first album "this is intolerable", and it would help me a lot if a bunch of people would hop on that shit and start downloading / seeding so that I'm not the only one with the file!!

Canned tuna (chunk white albacore in water) with plain white rice (calrose) is so good, I want to extoll its virtues. I want to create a fansite for tuna with rice. It also creates a treat for the cat, who loves the water that comes with the tuna. It tastes so good! And its fat content is negligible! And... that's about all I know about it! But I would totally read a book on the subject if there was one.

I hereby renounce tuna salad sandwiches, which are gross and fattening.
