I've got a whole bunch of things to work on, including some lit-crit of Mark Twain, and a basic introduction to psychadelic music, on the assumption that I'll have time to do them in the near future and that the world is in some kind of need for them. I need to actually sit down and edit together those and more opinions. But I've been working on updates for NamirDeiter.net today and yesterday. But let me tell you about some good things I've found recently: * Project Xenocide - an open source tactical strategy game in the style of the original X-Com. Currently in development. * Hey Suburbia - A semi-autobiographical comic that's pretty damn cool. * Honey & Clover- A nice, slow, slice-of-life anime. First good new series I've seen in a while (why? because I pick things out based on their Japanese titles, with no regard to what they may actually be like. Which is apparently why I got three series before it that were targeted at six-year-olds). It reminds me a bit of Here Is Greenwood, which I also recommend. I've only seen the first one so far, but I look forward to the rest. * It's a Long Way Down by Fallen Angels - a chamber-psych record, very reminiscent in places of Jeremy Enigk's solo work. The lead singer has a very nice breezy voice, that reminds me much of Donovan. He's got that same kind of sincerity. The best song on there, A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall does not feature any kind of horn instruments, which gives it several dozen bonus points in my book. I'd say more, but it's out of print and nearly impossible to find. But I enjoy it very much, regardless. If you've found something good and want to tell me about it, please do.
