have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?

I am SO jetlagged, a good five days or so out from my return to Japan. Usually it's so much more simple coming to Japan than going to America. The trips to the US usually find me up late into the night and trying to fall asleep. In my fervor to avoid jetlag, I stayed up late almost every night in the USA, and got up early; it didn't provide a lot of rest. Now it appears to have backfired, since my early evenings have felt like the last half-turn of a wind-up toy’s key, and have found me ready to sleep by 20:00. It would be funny if it weren't somewhere between an affliction and fatigue. It is improving, since tonight it's 18:12 (boom-boom-BOOM) and I'm still relatively lucid.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
