1. Sent a manuscript of a new name book to a publisher. It's about name proposals, both historical and current ones, including some of our own. We'll see what comments we'll have from the authorities (there's quite a strict law on names here in Finland - it would drive the Yanks crazy in no time). Heard also that the publisher would like us to make the index...
2. Finished the article on B movies. Fascinating stuff. Who knows the films of Joel Rapp or Peter Kass? Who can comment on Joseph Pevney's career? (Well, in the DVD age most can, but I don't think many will.)
3. Finished also a small article on new crime fiction websites, such as Hardluck Stories.
4. Shot two inserts for the TV show. The other one was good, the other one wasn't. Such is life.
5. Heard today that the crime paperback line I'm soon possibly editing is still in the development. Sigh...
6. Have to finish layouting the new issue of Ruudinsavu. Sigh... I still have to write two short articles myself (and maybe a third one to fill pages up).
6. Haven't been reading much of anything, but late last night, just to calm myself down, I read Hys! by Norwegian comics artist Jason. Great stuff! Sad and funny at the same time, very touching indeed. Comparison with Buster Keaton is close, but I was more reminded of Jim Jarmusch's classic Stranger than Paradise. (See the picture on the left.)
7. Listening to the great Finnish punk band Risto. Highly recommended. (Well, it's not actually punk. I don't know what it is.)
(8. Is it work to read comics and listen to punk?)
