I'll do the full holiday write up later, but in the meantime run, do not walk, to my excellent Yuletide gift Like Old Times, a B.P.R.D. story set post-Killing Grounds in which Ben Daimio and Abe Sapien have adventures in Canada and Darryl is adorable and I kind of want to squish him even if he's a wendigo and would probably eat my face ( Read more... )

So, at long last, San Diego Comic Con has come and gone. For the most part, I have few complaints. I tried to take things slower than I have in previous years -- more sleep, less aimless trudging around the Exhibit Hall. I missed a few panels I would have liked to attend, but otherwise I was satisfied with the change of pace ( Read more... )

PLEASE TO BE LETTING THIS BE TRUE: 'Deadpool' Solo Movie Confirmed, Ryan Reynolds Attached To 'Wolverine' Spin-Off

If this is a psych-out or otherwise untrue, I may have to stab someone in the face. Just saying.

And yes, I did spend the evening buying a Deadpool action figure and assorted X-Men Origins: Wolverine Super Hero Squad. Why do you ask?

I am three Annuals away from finishing every single issue of Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos ever released.

Also, I just got back from a wine tasting, whereby "wine tasting" we mean "wine drinking with great enthusiasm."

I'm in the process of doing my nails at home for the first time and, so far, no hilarious mistakes. I had my first manicure a couple of weeks back (while killing time at the airport) and, while I wouldn't say I've caught the bug, I kind've liked the look of them. Of course, that time I didn't have to do the work myself. Jury's still out on whether ( Read more... )

For the first time in I don't know when, I actually felt confident and comfortable at work today. I'm not sure why; the workload was lighter than usual, sure, but only a crazy person would find it manageable. There was no doom, there was no gloom, and I'd even forgotten to take my meds.* Despite the stress and the tired and the frantic, it has been ( Read more... )

"G" is for "Glutton for Punishment." Yeah, I've started writing again, or at I'm least trying to. Don't expect me to actually produce anything; like most of my previous efforts, this is an epic destined to be junked in a couple of months. But for the next little while, anyway, it's fun. Frustrating, but fun. On an entirely unrelated note, *cough*, ( Read more... )

I told myself after getting my last pay cheque that this was the end (the end!) of impulse purchases, unnecessary big ticket items, and general financial mayhem. As much as I want the new dress, new shoes, or to own every single trade of Hellboy ever released right away, when it comes down to it I'd really like to eat more ( Read more... )
