Howdy hi, folks. Time for another poll, and this one is for those of you who enjoy military history. The following poll consists of some of the wars I love to study (and use for story fodder). So yeah, pick your favorite!

Poll War...
Once again, I wish more options were available. But hey, that's okay! Just pick which one of those you dig the best and then talk ( Read more... )

I only have a few minutes, then it's back to the salt mines!

It looks like USA Today picked up the CBR run of the Nightmaera Announcement. That's pretty cool. My mom and father-in-law made a big deal out of it, and I tried to tell them it's the Kindle news of USA Today online... we were still beat out by two-headed dogs spotted by drunken frat boys ( Read more... )

Some things:

+ First: YAY!

+ I'm quite happy to see a non-silverspooned non-oldwhiteguy moderate in the executive chair of the US. Are our feudal master/servant days over? No. But it's a nice start, kids.

+ Of course, this all got started centuries ago. It's good to see feudalism in its death throes, however. That's the start I mean.

+ Now on to things ( Read more... )

Hi there. Insert a joke about me with your marmoset >here<.

- Looks like Canada is gonna be stuck with me. I'm told to apologise to you Canuckistanis out there. It was only a matter of time, really. Yeah, it's nice here.

- Really nice.

- Cracked.com nails my thoughts on Twitter. Sure, I understand the micro-blogging thing, but if I tried it you'd see ( Read more... )

So, a buddy of mine was talking about "old-schoolisms" in his blog and this made me think of some "pragmatisms", especially in regards to creating. But also life in general. We know them and sometimes even follow them, invoking them when times get tough or whatever.

Here are some of mine, like them or not.

I encourage you to add your own in the ( Read more... )

Lately I've just been falling asleep at the drop of a hat. For instance, around 9 or so last night I took a shower and meant to read with The Shron in bed (that's how we roll, yo), and I get out, lay down, and next thing I know it's 7am. WTF?

Anyhow, it's nice to get some rest, that's for sure.

In other news, these things I need to clear out of my ( Read more... )

Okay, I got violently ill with a flu or something (maybe something bacterial?) monday night, and I still feel like shit-- but not like boiled ass drowned in shit. So that's good. I guess.

What sucked is I became sick while Scott and Juana were here. Thanks to them for taking care of me a bit when Sharon was called into work.

Anyway, enough of that. ( Read more... )

It's been non-stop killer busy around these parts. Scott and Juana got in early Saturday morning and hot-damn, times have been fun. And busy. Have I mentioned The Busy?

But now I have some time to play catch-up. Ready? Here goes... something!

- Stan Winston has just died at the too-young-age of 62. Dear 2008: Stop killing people, you bastard. Thanks.

NOW.

Brian Reed totally goes in for the KILL with issue #34. Basically, without giving too much away, #35 will see Red Sonja rebooted. The latest issue reads like a dream.

Er, no pun intended.

Honestly, it's probably one of the best comics to come out this year. And check out this amazing Mel Rubi cover:
