Upcoming Songs of EGS

The next four storylines of my webcomic El Goonish Shive are being planned out. While this is all subject to change, here are some songs that come to mind when I think of certain parts of these upcoming stories. Please note that I have no sort of official connection to these songs; they simply come to mind when thinking about these stories.

"Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor
"East Bound And Down" by Jerry Reed
"Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down
"When You're Evil" by Voltaire

"Hallelujah" also fits in there, but there are so many covers of it that I don't know which artist to list. In any case, I'm not going to say why I find these songs fitting for certain parts, only that I do. I will, however, likely clarify it all later during the commentaries of these upcoming stories.

A Nostalgic Tale

I'd normally (or I suspect I would normally; this is, like, my fifth post here) post a sketched fan art such as this only at Deviant Art, but I actually have a bit of a story to tell connected with this that's worth posting here.

Blargh... Sunday...

Hm... I should post at least one interesting thing a day here. Haven't done much yet today, though. I'm still getting back on a good sleeping schedule since New Years.

Let's see, interesting... interesting... Oh! I have a Batman action figure on my desk. Yeah, I was making jokes on Twitter about how Batman was telling me to do all these things like sit up straight and work harder, and I decided to buy a small action figure of him to help remind me to do these things.

I know it's a little silly, but... what's that, Batman? Why did I sleep so late today? I'm still recovering from staying up late on New Years Eve. ...Yes, I know the early robin gets the worm, but... I was... I just... DUDE, IT'S SUNDAY! BACK OFF, BATMAN!

Yeesh. If he keeps this up, he's gonna get replaced by my Chris Griffin figure. He won't judge me.

Rant - Star Trek Special Edition Case Insert

Ok, I know I just wrote in length about a DVD and I don't want to give the wrong impression about what manner of blog this is, but this rant is gonna happen.

I was generously given the new Star Trek (Two-Disc Digital Copy Edition) for Christmas. It is worth noting on the side that this came with quite an enjoyable movie that I absolutely love, a digital copy of it and a ton of extras, but frankly, that is all entirely ruined by the horrible, horrible packaging. And no, I refer not simply to the image I have included. It gets far, far worse.
