Dexter Riddler?

3 min read
Someone somewhere on the internet suggested that Michael C. Hall ( Dexter ) should be the Riddler in the next Batman movie.

Might not be a bad idea. Would definitely get the taste of Jim Carrey's Riddler out of my mouth.

Not to mention MCH is amazing.

I read The Tale of Despereaux and was really impressed. It's pretty deep and pretty dark for a children's book. Can't wait to see the movie this winter.

Lately I've been having a drawing slump, so I've spent my free time reading in an effort to both recharge my vocabulary and creativity.

I just got finished ready Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and if you've ever seen the series and not read the book, ( I've only seen season one thus far ), you're really cheating yourself out of a good, simple yet complex story, in my opinion.

The series, while AMAZING, is a far cry from Jeff Lindsay's actual story. I won't give anything away, but if you can get a copy from the library or find a used copy somewhere, check it out.

It's also an easy read with clear language, so this is something you can take to to the beach or read at work during your lunch break without feeling like you're never going to get past chapter one. Lindsay is a master at describing things without using a thousand words to do so. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy wordy novels, but every now and then I like something I can just breeze through.

There are three Dexter novels: Darkly Dreaming, Dearly Devoted Dexter and Dexter in the Dark. I'm about to start Dearly Devoted. I seriously might end up buying this triology!

Another book I just finished that I would highly recommend is Water for Elephants. It's set in the depression era, and chronicles the memoirs of a former circus veterinarian. That's all I really want to tell about the book, as any other details would spoil the whole thing. You can get a copy for about $12 at Wal Mart or Target. Again, this is an easy read; I finished mine in a day.

I also have this book about the scandal surrounding John Singer Sargent and the infamous Madame X portrait. I might read that before the Dexter novels. If you're not familiar with JSS or Madame X, do a google search. Any serious artist should study Sargent's work, in my opinion.

Other books I have read in the past few weeks have been Garden Spells ( a Southern like water for chocolate ), The Nanny Diaries ( which seemed like a kid-care version of the Devil wears Prada ) and Aesop's fables.  

I'm looking forward to reading the Twilight books, as well as Love, Stargirl, which is the sequel to Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl. I also want to read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

In other news, I've been catching up on my anime. Rumiko Takahashi's Mermaid Saga is amazing. The Anime follows the manga to a T, but that doesn't matter to me because I love the stories. If you've got Netflix, check them out. You won't be disappointed.

I have some Stop-Motion how to videos coming in the mail and I'm excited about that. Also got registered for school. I'm taking Acting for Animators, Drawing from the Imagination and Art and Ideology of the 20th Century. Plus I have my mid-point review in the Fall. It's going to be a fun semester!

As far as work goes, I'm thinking about going down to part time, though I'm greedy and don't want to give up a full time slot. I just need more time for my studies.

And that's all I have to say!

So lately I haven't had much luck in the creativity department. Good thing I decided to take the summer off...boy, would that have been difficult with work and just life in general.

It will be nice to actually work on *my* projects on my day off rather than school, but I know by summer's end, I'll be ready to get back into the swing of things.

I finally got to see Sweeney Todd a couple of days ago; not exactly my cup of tea, what with the gore and the Soundheim harmonies. Yes, I admit, I can handle some of his work, but it's not really my thing. In general, I've found showtunes aren't really my thing anymore, anyway. Maybe it's the oboist in me; I just really enjoy baroque/early classical period music. Give me Handel and Mozart any day.

On that note, I've often wondered if there is a connection to my liking baroque music and some dance/techno stuff. I realize the latter isn't as intricate and precise as counterpoint, but it's still a lot of repetitive patterns like counterpoint. What is that called...the subject and the answer? It's been so long that I can't remember...

Oh well. And I'm off to do more random things before work.
