People who know me understand that historically, I’ve been a fan of the modern GI:JOE franchise; I own almost the entire run of the 80s Marvel comics series, including a copy of issue #1 signed by both writer Larry Hama and penciler Herb Trimpe. I spent my tween years watching the cartoons and collecting the […]

….Oh My.

Comics blogger Chris Sims, as part of his gig with Comics Alliance, drew the short straw and ended up being the CA staff writer tasked with reviewing Breaking Dawn, part 1, the latest entry in the Twilight film series. The movie? unsurprisingly terrible. The review? Comedy Gold: Once he has turned into a wolf and […]

I finished several things yesterday. It feels like I accomplished something. writing my NaNoWriMo project. A solid 50k + word first draft. Might be a good 35k word novella in there with some judicious editing. a first read-through on a huge pile of documentation. Useful and necessary for an ongoing extracurricular project. reading a book. […]

Last minute changes in plans scuttled my original weekend schedule, but it all kind of worked out. No worries, I got a little bit more sleep and a bit of a break. Doesn’t change the fact that once you’ve properly girded yourself for a given task, having it fall off the schedule at the last […]

I haven’t had a lot of time to be online this week. In between meetings, dealing with non-specific evening issues, not feeling all that great, and the beginning of NaNoWriMo (giving it another shot, this time with…an outline!), I just haven’t had much blogging inclination.

Might as well continue today’s theme of frivolity, comic books and pretty girls: The only thing that end the eternal conflict between Thor and Loki: Scarlett Johanssen’s posterior. I promise, one of these days, I’ll get around to actually putting up something of substance in this space again. But not right now.

Sayeth fark dot com commenter “InmanRoshi”: [Zooey Deschanel] never was cool. She was just marketed in a way that reminded losers of the one pretty girl in high school who didn’t openly point and laugh at them. I’d say there’s a better than average chance that this statement is actually true. However, that doesn’t change […]

Not much to report this weekend, to be honest. It was, barring a few exceptions, both brief and disconcertingly chronic (which I’m not ready to go into, even obliquely), quiet and relatively stress-free. I spent a bit of the early part of the weekend running one particular kid to and from school activities, and handled […]
