Ohmigawd StarKid, stop taking all of my money!

I really thought it would take at least a *few* days after my final paycheck for me to find something my very soul requires I buy, but I did not factor into my plan the possibility that this shirt would suddenly be available for purchase:



There is literally nothing that could tempt me more right now, nothing that would be more appropriate as an "I just quit my job" treat to myself.  It's as though Joe Walker sat down with A.J. Holmes and the people from Ann Arbor Tees and said, "You know that weird chick who keeps showing up where we are and having intensely awkward interactions with us?  I know how we can get back at her AND squeeze some more cash out of her at the same time!"

You're an evil man, Imaginary!Joe Walker.

(The above will make perhaps slightly more sense when I finally get around to recapping the Fall 2011 edition of The Adventures of Magpie and Magrat.)

In other news:

• I had completely forgotten that Brittany Murphy was on Boy Meets World, and I found myself suddenly very sad at an inappropriate point, story-wise. 
• The episode with 3/4ths of the Monkees is still a delight, however.
• I have been far too amused by the recent spate of Community actors making guest appearances on The Soup.
• I ordered a copy of Hawkgirl: The Maw because it was on deep discount and, for being one of my top three favourite core JL characters, I know very, very little about her outside of the show.  It arrived today, and I've got to say I'm pretty revolted by the artwork.  I hope very much that the writing is less objectionable so I don't have to rage as much as I suspect I will.
• ...but here's an awesome article about introducing young library patrons - with an emphasis on young female library patrons - to quality comics.  Librarians are the coolest.
• I am so glad Alyson Hannigan's hair doesn't actually look like this (contains minor casting spoilers for BS9) right now.  It's, like, half-T-Boz, half-Kate Gosselin.  What up, Willow?
• Look who wrote the score for the Muppet movie!  I saw that in the opening credits, and I was like, DUDE, is there anyone awesome who ISN'T involved in this movie?  I didn't even know at that point, did I?  ^____^

And, finally, I'm heading to Texas tomorrow.  My 'net access will be intermittent for the next week or so, so, while I will hopefully be writing quite a lot, most of it will not wind up here.
