Dexter
I can now say that I have completed my marathon of the first two seasons of the show "Dexter". The verdict? A very big AWESOME!!! I am anxiously awaiting the release of Season 3 on DVD next month. I must admit, I figured that this show was just another CSI type show with a gimmick of the main character being a Serial Killer, so I didn't really pay any attention to this show when it started. But thanks to JJ (my brothers girl, who also got me into Death Note and Flight of the Conchords), she got lent me her Dexter 1&2 Season DVDs to watch. I hate to admit this, but she gave them to me back in January and I didn't actually start watching until June. Yes, it took me that long (for one reason or another) to finally sit down and watch them.
And two weeks later, I am now a Dexter fanatic. For two reasons. First off, I think I found a modern character that I can relate to in Dexter. No, not the thirst for Killing,(well at least not the living, in my spare time I do enjoy blowing up a Zombie or two) but having to wear that mask of Normalcy. Being emotionally detached from the world, a lot of times I have to put on a phony smile to look happy when I'm not, put on a frown to look sad when I'm not, and make pointless chit-chat to folks I normally wouldn't talk to just to fit in. I can assure you, I'm quite normal*, I'm just not that much of a social creature, most folks find us type odd.
Anyways, the second reason I like the show, well it's the show itself. Basically the show is about Dexter Morgan, a Blood Splatter Expert for the Miami PD. He also happens to be a Serial Killer who targets criminals and killers who manage to get by the Justice System. And as simple as the Plot is, the actual show itself is wonderfully complex. And by that I don't mean it's hard to follow, I mean each episode is well written, there is great character stories/developments from the ensemble cast, the overall story arch starts one way, turns another, keeps you guessing on what will happen next, and by the end of every episode, you always salivate for the next one to begin. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has a taste for the darker dramas, like Se7en or Death Note.
*what is normal? the meaning varies from person to person.
Again, Bored at Work
More results from my goofing off. I gotta say, for me sketching on a 12 inch wacom tablet on a flat surface is like trying to sketch with my left hand, slightly uncomfortable and a tad bit more difficult.

For the Dallas/Fort Worth area, my best guess would probably the heat and lack of an ocean view.
New Kittie Album Coming in September
NEW ALBUM, IN THE BLACK, TO BE RELEASED
ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2009
ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2009
(New York, NY) — E1 Music announces the addition of Canada’s KITTIE to its heavy metal roster. Under this worldwide deal, KITTIE will release three albums for the label.
KITTIE (Morgan Lander—vocals and guitar, Mercedes Lander—drums, Tara McLeod—guitar, and Ivy Vujic—bass guitar) has released four studio albums during its career which have sold collectively over 1,250,000 copies. The band’s new album, IN THE BLACK, is slated for release on September 15, 2009. Some new songs on the album are “Cut Throat, “Sorrow I Know” and “My Plague.”
KITTIE vocalist Morgan Lander says, “We are totally thrilled and honored to be working with Scott Givens and to now be part of the E1 family. We have been hard at work for the past few months perfecting our latest musical offering and are pleased with the final result of IN THE BLACK. It is everything that Kittie is supposed to be: heavy, fast, brash and nasty, yet at times introspective, feminine and emotional. One thing it is not, however, is compromising of the sound and style that we have come to be known for. This s*** is HEAVY! Our new label pairing with E1 will actualize the vision that we have held constant over the years for the band."
E1 Music VP of Metal Scott Givens adds, “As a band, KITTIE truly is a one of a kind powerhouse. I know I speak for everyone at E1 Music when I say how excited we are to be working with them and launching IN THE BLACK to the masses.”
Currently the band is working on Fall tour plans and will be shooting two videos during the month of July.

New Life.
Lately it feels like there is a lot of loss going on in the world with no end in sight. Well today I finally got some some bright news. I got word today that my niece Russia is going to have a little brother or sister. Yep, my Sister is pregnant again. In addition, I also found out a few days ago that one of my cousins just had his first kid. So congrats to him and his family down in the Valley. All in all, my weekend ends on a positive note.
Michael…
….Thanks for your wonderful music. You were one of my idols growing up as a Kid.
"Ben". This is my favorite song of his. A bit sad, but Beautiful.
Today, a piece of my childhood has died.
