Things are still unchanged here, though ash is starting to fall from the sky more noticeably. I'm trying to keep myself steeled. I had dinner with my mother and sister last night, which is why I didn't get as much done on my comic as I wanted to--I pencilled two pages, inked a page and a half, and coloured a fourth of an MST3k 's worth ( The Starfighters , one of my favourite episodes. The refuelling sequence alone is worth watching the episode for). But I am now halfway done with all the pencils. I listened to the cast commentary for Re-Animator , which was a fun commentary. It's fun listening to Barbara Crampton giggling over her own gratuitous nudity, and hearing the guys trying to sound detached ( Jeffrey Combs ; "Look at that lighting fixture." Barbara Crampton ; "Look at those breasts ! They're right there !"). I'm starting to run out of commentaries. I think I only have Gremlins left, though I'm oddly looking forward to hearing what Phoebe Cates has to say.
