So, I found a good site for listing movies seen - Letterboxd. Free basic membership, just launched from its beta, nice interface. I'm still working on loading my list on there.

Still looking for good 'Comic Books Owned' and 'Books Read or Owned' list sites.

Blah, blah, interrupted sleep cycle. You know the drill. Brain functioning at half capacity.

Of course, that still leaves me better off than most folks, it seems, so that's good.

I've been updating my Tumblr semi-regularly - my New Comics Day posts, my MST3K favorites posts, my 'Bad Movie Night' posts. I may just become a blogger, yet.

Decided to take Wednesday off as a vacation day - makes the trip home for the holidays a little less odious. Picked up a few cheap Batman back issues to take to my little cousin, as well.

It never fails - I fall out of one hobby and have a surplus of cash, and then I get into another. In this case, there was a first-ever comics (and general pop culture) convention in Morgantown, WV - spitting distance.

Was able to take off a half-day on Friday, because of all the time I spent last week working from home.

That's just not right ( Read more... )

My Air Conditioner units (window mounted, alas) are struggling to keep up with the heat right now, and I suspect it's because of the ridiculous humidity that's lingering. I'm hoping things cool down and/or dry out a little bit just so I don't melt ( Read more... )

.. something you can contract by inhaling too much dust from old Legion of Super-Heroes comics? No? Ah. Good ( Read more... )

I had a pretty good weekend - a gaming session, lots of video games, some Law and Order, and most importantly (or at least, most interestingly) another edition of Bad Movie Night. Oh, also some cheap comic books at a sale ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I put a bullet in the head of the shambling corpse of a hobby of mine. Online, Livejournal-based roleplaying. I started at jla_watchtower six years ago, this month. I joined other communities, I helped to start one or two, I became a moderator of some of those communities, and eventually became a moderator at Watchtower a few years back. I had lots of ( Read more... )
