I remembered LiveJournal again
I found this thing on Tumblr, and I thought I would repost it here (maybe I should get a Tumblr?).

Persepolis was assigned reading in an English class. So I wrote this.
If you liked Persepolis, you may also enjoy:
Maus: A Survivor's Tale, by Art Spiegleman
"Aren't comics just for kids?" Maus won a Pulitzer, discussion over. Spiegleman recounts the parallel stories of how his father Vladek survived the Holocaust, and how he survived his father. Most direct analogue (precursor) to Persepolis.

No Ordinary Family
Whenever I write more than one tweet about a subject, I figure I really ought to just knock it off and post to LiveJournal instead.
So I watched the pilot episode of ABC's new show "No Ordinary Family", which is a free download from iTunes at the moment. I liked it.
It's clearly the product of the Pixar film "The Incredibles", which is very good, and ( Read more... ) -
How the iPhone Finder Tracked Wired.Com
Wired was able to obtain information on Brian Hogan, the young man (21) who found the 4G iPhone left in a bar, and they wrote about how they did it. I found this interesting for its synopsis of what a modern journalistic process can look like.
Of note to me is that, as I read it, until Hogan's lawyer got nervous and contacted them, they really ( Read more... ) -
Five-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake: Improved Recipe
This is a recipe I found on the Internet during the Snowpocalypse of February 2010 and subsequently modified a little. Be sure not to overcook it, and to eat it while it’s fresh and hot; being cooked in a microwave oven, it can turn a bit rubbery if given too much time ( Read more... ) -

A Brief Thought on the Vampire Obsession
Not an original thought, mind you- don't be silly! This is LiveJournal, there's no room for "original thought" here.
Today's Diesel Sweeties comic, excellent as ever, interested me enough to click through his link to the Esquire piece he based it on, "Vampires as Gay Men" by Stephen Marche. The idea as expressed in the headline is somewhat ( Read more... ) -
The news is not good today
Fair warning: if you're already in a bad mood, feeling down or depressed, don't read this entry any further. Head to Cute Overload, or The Comics Curmudgeon; or, as I often do, follow the advice of Lore: "Feeling down? Depressed? Alienated? Just remember these three words. 'I'm somebody's fetishI've come across many disheartening pieces of news ( Read more... ) -
Stuff I'm Looking At Today
Just a list of some links I've got my eye on at the moment, so I can quit out of my browser & go to class:- Fakesteve.blogspot.com: "I'm really thinking maybe I shouldn't have yelled at that Chinese guy so much". Like most of my best links, this one came from Daring Fireball, and what it says about the cost of the American lifestyle to ( Read more... )
