billy blanks would be proud

Oddly enough, Facebook decided to import my blog posts TWICE. And now that I look more closely, it's only imported oh, the last 25 or so. No matter. Those double posts are taken care of, and I'm quite content with just 25 recent posts. I have a sneaking suspicion though, that the posts will once again double up with each new blog post. Or perhaps not? It is not for me to begin to attempt to understand the bizarre and oftentimes demonic workings of the Interwebs. Nay, that is a mission best left to other minds. And those of the robotic race.

First Blizzard from the DQ of the year. It was a doozy, too. Oreo Cheesequake. It wasn't as quakey as it was Oreo-y, but it was still worth a shot.

A recent trip to ye olde Comic Carnival yielded some interesting results. We had the standard old issues of Impulse that I blindly picked up and a few Legionnaire titles from the mid 90s...but the crowning achievement of the day was a nice little graphic novel called Time Beavers.


And yes, it was amazing as the cover implies. In fact, anybody who has NOT read this book is probably a horrible horrible person. Nah, just joshing you. But I daresay that the quality of your existence will considerably increase upon reading this gem. Yeah, bitchez.

I do believe that's all for now. So...Seacrest out!

mcfly was right in front of us

Feeling the urge to blog. Speaking of the blog, it's now imported into Facebook. Whoopdedoo! And I'm STILL miffed about my old layout being disposed of. Not miffed enough to actually do anything about it. But still miffed...

I was lucky enough to see a lecture last Wednesday by a Mr. Scott McCloud. For those of you unfamiliar with him, he is...well...I'd say he's sort of a comic guru. The bulk of his work has been in analyzing comics. His analysis has explored WHAT comics are, HOW comics communicate, and WHY we (the geeks anyway) just can't stop reading them. It was a very nice presentation, but what probably got me most was how involved his family was. McCloud obviously adores his family, and his two daughters were quite hilarious throughout the night.

Umm...uh...was there something else? Nope, probably not. Except I'm getting a new GL ring soon. Aw yeah.

And now for a video game forecast!
