Current ranking of all the albums I've listened to so far this year. Looking for some recommendations. Want to finish 52 albums I've not heard before, before the end of the year. I've completed 47.

Had an amazing weekend in Chicago with my wonderful girlfriend! We had a lot of great food, went on a riverboat tour, and saw The Decemberists!

No one cartoons quite like Chris Ware. So much of what I enjoy from this is purely the coloring and illustrations. There's something soothing and comforting about Ware's style that clashes with the anxiety, despair, and embarassment derived from his stories. It makes for an unforgettable experience.

Next is Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery. It's probably my favorite work by Grant Morrison. So much of what he has to say about comics is packed within these four issues: his love, anguish, anger, and hope.

Next up: Last Day in Vietnam. Eisner could do so much, with so little. An absolute master of sequential storytelling. He will rip your heart out without a single line of narration or dialog: he lets his art do all the talking. It is a great reminder of what can be done in a visual medium.

I'll start with my favorite: Fury: My War Gone By. Garth is at his best, featuring fully realized characters with unmatched sincerity and a biting critique. Parlov's art with Lougridge's colors is some of the best you'll ever see. It's as close to perfect as a comic can get.

With my birthday being Monday and not being able to see my girlfriend then, she decided to use our entire weekend together to spoil me. She took me to an arcade, a comic shop, bought me presents, watched one of my favorite movies, and more. I'm unbelievably lucky!!!
