Dizzying Day
► **sigh** It seems the mysterious vertigo I had earlier this year has returned. Yesterday when Dad was finally driving me back to my apartment after our outing I suddenly had a feeling of falling while sitting in the moving car. The sensation just suddenly overtook me and I was light headed and unbalanced for a few minutes. I chalked it up to my being hungry.
I didn't think anymore of it until this afternoon while watching a movie with Dean, I turned toward her and the world slanted for me. While I was able to finish the movie, I've been dizzy and unsteady since then. When I walk the ground feels like it's moving, and when I sit still it's as if I'm perched high up in the air and gently being pushed back and forth by firm winds.
Hopefully this won't last as long as my 2 month long bout in the spring.
► Day 2 of the Wizard World Ohio comic convention is over, and it looks like I'm getting a crapload of tradepaperbacks. John and I have been sending emails back and forth and he's been keeping me up to date with the going ons. Friday night he arranged a sketch of Josie from Josie and the Pussycats for me by Archie Comics artist Dan Parent. Today, the focus turned to tradepaperbacks and I guess the quest for Val Kilmer's autograph was sort of abandoned. That's fine, because I only considered it an unlikely possibility since I didn't want John to have to wait in a long line just for my sake. Also, he found a grand total of 10 tradepaperbacks for me, including 8 Showcase Presents collections.► Superman: Red Son
► Project Superpowers Volume 2 Chapter 1
► Showcase Presents The War That Time Forgot, Vol 1
► Showcase Presents Justice League of America, Vol 2
► Showcase Presents Justice League of America, Vol 3
► Showcase Presents Justice League of America, Vol 4
► Showcase Presents Legion of Super-Heroes, Vol 1
► Showcase Presents Legion of Super-Heroes, Vol 3
► Showcase Presents Brave and the Bold: Batman Team-Ups, Vol 2
► Showcase Presents Brave and the Bold: Batman Team-Ups, Vol 3
The biggest score for me are the Showcase Presents Brave and the Bold: Batman Team-Ups volumes which are out of print and incredibly difficult to get now online. I'm going to have to look for Showcase Presents Legion of Super-Heroes, Vol 2, Project Superpowers Volume 1, and Project Superpowers Volume 2 Chapter 2 on Amazon or Ebay soon in order to fill up those gaps. There's still a little bit of my money left over, but it seems unlikely that John will be able to fill any of those missing volumes today. I think it might be best now to earmark the remaining money toward the inevitably huge shipping and handling cost when he mails everything in a month or so.
Not unless I can evilly convince him to look for something else for me... although I should let it go before I wear out my welcome.
► From chat:Matt: My Brother's 40th birthday party tonight
Matt: first major exposure to my family Elaine will have
Matt: I'ma scared
Derek: I'd pray for you, but I'm a godless heathen
► 9gag: Just Danny Trejo & Dove, and its Christmas version. - I just realized I've never seen Danny Trejo smile before. It's slightly unsettling.
► DC Comics: MULTIVERSITY Is Coming! - Somewhere someone is looking at the page in this article and complaining that "they're totally ripping off that Watchmen movie!" But yeah, Ted Kord, baby!
► Neatorama: Wesker & Son Resident Evil Human Butchery - This sounds less like a Capcom Resident Evil promotion and more like some kind of PETA stunt.
► ABC News: UFO or Lens Flare in Google Street View? You Decide - ...or giant space nipple.
► Gods of the Moon: Battleship: the movie: the game: the movie: the game: the comic: the title - They forgot the Novel.
► Huffington Post: Marion Cotillard's Stalker, Teresa Yuan, Pleads Guilty In New York Court - I like how the article includes a handy phonetic pronunciation guide for Marion Cotillard's surname: (koh-tee-YAR')
► Nasa: NASA Rover Finds Old Streambed on Martian Surface - It's an amazing discovery to be sure, but I think I've reached the point where the only thing that'll really surprise and perk my interest is if they find an old camp ground with discarded soda cans.
► Yahoo News - The Sideshow: Stingray photobomb goes viral - Is this a news article or an advertisement for the tourist spot? Am I the only one who feels sorry for the stingray in the photo? Minding your own business swimming around when some douche picks you up and drops you onto some hysterical broads.
