The Best Of Collection
I've been meaning to do this for a bit now; a list of the more interesting, funny, or just plain likable posts I've made (in my opinion) since getting a LiveJournal back in 2001. Maybe it's a bit conceited of me, but if you've only been reading this journal occasionally or recently, it could be helpful/interesting/amusing ( Read more... ) -
The Wizarding World of Comics
For all the bile people spew at Wizard Magazine, especially in the '90s when they were seen as the embodiment of the speculator boom and frat boy mentality, I'd like to point out something personal.
This is a list of comics I was introduced to by Wizard, because there were feature articles or reviews or just brief write-ups that made them sound ( Read more... ) -
A Disney Day
I guess I'll write a longer post/review on Tron: Legacy later. It's a fun, though flawed movie.
Yesterday we went through a spate of movies from Netflix:
- Bolt: I remember when the commercials started airing for this back in 2008, and my boss said the hamster was probably going to be the best part of the movie. Well, that's kind of true. And the ( Read more... )

Take Me Now
Oh Disney, why do you do these things?
Coming up this fall:- Tangled
- Tron: Legacy
- Epic Mickey
Bonus round:- Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 on DVD/Blu-ray
I've been waiting what, 1 year for Epic Mickey? 2 years for Tron? 3 or 4 years for Tangled? And now all at once?
It's like they want to sleep with me. - Tangled

Then Tintin gets arrested for eating a poppy seed bagel
Been reading (or in the case of some volumes, re-reading) The Adventures of Tintin. It doesn't charm me as much as it did ten years ago, but it's still (mostly) good stuff. I'm reading them in order this time, so I can see the development of art and story and character, which is really enlightening. And yes, there is the racism, awkward but... ( Read more... ) -
Ex-Girlfriends, Homunculi, Pop Stars, Lemmings, Kherans, Witches, and Rabbits. Lots of Rabbits.
Been mainlining a ridiculous amount of comics over the past week or two; in addition to Age of Bronze and the Iron Man Annual which I've reviewed here, I've been trying to clear out the box in the back room, which used to be full of comics I was too lazy to put away but turned into full of comics I didn't have time to read.
Some highlights:

Bee Mine
I forgot to make one of these posts last year, and since I'm going to be out of town this weekend it's likely I'll forget again, so I'll do this a few days early...

Soda Selection
Because I've been kind of making note of these sorts of things. It's the kind of thing one does when unemployed, I guess. And no, this isn't meant to be a complete list, it's just a list of the brands I felt important enough to remember.
