Read this old interview of The Comics Journal of Art Spiegelman. (from Peloy's book The New Comics) This is not thesis-related at all. Then again I haven't been thinking "thesis" for some time now.

JOURNAL: Why was RAW#1 "The Graphix Magazine of Postponed Suicides"? A postponed suicide is just a stall till suicide,isn't it? That doesn't sound very hopeful at all...
SPIEGELMAN: Let me answer that with a quote from NIetzsche: "The thought of suicide is a great consolation: with the help of it one has got through many a bad night." To think about suicide isn't necessarily to commit suicide. it's to acknowledge the possibility and to acknowledge the precariousness of being alive and to affirm it. Every moment that you don't commit suicide is an affirmation. It's deciding to live some more. The reason I think it's actually an optimistic notion is the fact that...well, that quote that's in the inside front cover by Cioran, "A book is a postponed suicide," to me implies an act of faith has been committed. Which is, to create a work of art, a book, a painting, a poem, a magazine, a comics strip, whatever and that the work is in itself a justification for remaining alive. In that sense, at least, I felt I was provisionally optimistic.


I guess that entire quote is more of a mood thing.

Met with my bro, got to wash his clothes, got P500 for my trouble. Well, it didn't exactly happen like that, but that's the gist of it. No scary offers yet of living with him, thank badness.

something's a wee bit wrong with my blog template.I've done tried to update all the links and shit but it remains the same. What could be wrong?

sigh.
