Happy Star Wars Day, everyone! I guess this is kind of a appropriate, as I spent the weekend doing sci-fi like things (if not exactly Star Wars things) at Ravencon. We had some pretty good shows that were well-enjoyed by our fans (wow…I have fans? That’s weird), even if I was a little “off” all […]

We could all die any day But before I’ll let that happen, I’ll dance my life away Yeah. Prince died yesterday. 2016 has been a pretty terrible year for losing rock and roll icons; icons that actually resonated with me, rather than old do-wop guys who were influential to the medium but, to be honest, […]

first of all, I am happy to report that my work concerns I mentioned last week aren’t really concerns; it looks like they got things locked down, and the fact that I made some noise about it during the dog and pony show Q&A was appreciated by the people that matter. One less thing to […]

I know I bitch about work a lot here, but I don’t generally bitch specifically about the way my organization does things. Today I’ll make an exception, names concealed to protect the guilty. As I said yesterday, I’m travelling out to the midwest for a day-long Dog and Pony Show/Kick-off meeting for a big, multi-million […]

Yes, I know there’s going to be post-production work done on this scene to add something in the background; probably some trippy surrealistic Ditko-esque nightmare portal to who knows where… But, all the same, I kind of want to imagine that this scene from Marvel’s upcoming Doctor Strange, shot in NYC this weekend, is going […]

Didn’t stop me from drinking Guinness like everyone who wasn’t waiting in line at the Irish Coffee stand. Anyway, the girls did a masterful job with the performance I saw (they had […]

wait for it…

Taking a break from the politics and cars* for a bit… In comics/movie news, this week the embargoes started lifting on the Captain America: Civil War press and set visit reports; it’s been trickling out – lots of vague interviews (though Anthony Mackie‘s stuff was particularly entertaining); some neat discussion of Black Panther, and tacit […]

If you’ve been keeping pace with me at all lately, you know that this has been a hell of a week. the tl;dr version? Doubt. Uncertainty. Signs of problematic developments in the future. Headaches. Lack of sleep. Hopelessness. Depression. As I mentioned earlier this week, there have been some awesome folks out there who have, […]

It’s friday, it’s kinda nice outside, I have no meetings, and, for we comics/MCU fans, it’s Jessica Jones Day!, which I will be settling into watch at least part of this evening before the weekend gets too crazy (more on that presently). I’m pretty sure you’re all aware how much I’ve been looking forward to […]
