I am in search of a good cold-conducting chillifying skin-and-muscle-temperature-lowering icepack unit. Flist, do you have recommendations? Don't tell me Coldpac - I already forked over forty dollars for one of their wraps, and while it gave me aforementioned cold burns on my skin (that, five weeks later, are just now starting to fade - my right ( Read more... )

I have NO idea what these were doing on my hard drive -- they might have been right clicked and saved when I found that fan-made Thundercats trailer a few months ago and posted it here or when that guy over on Scans Daily 1.0 started posting pages of that horrific Ed Benes Thundercats series from 2003 -- but I realize that I meant to post them as a ( Read more... )

Beloved flist, I promise to stop spamming you with oversized comic images.

But if you're not somehow reading Agents of Atlas, you're missing out on an almost one hundred percent fun reading experience.

Why? Forget the actual content. Yeah, I was and am upset with Jeff Parker over his racefail that will become apparent in issue #7, but the recap ( Read more... )

Flist.

A warning here, even for the people that never go near comics.

See, many have observed that the medium of comics can do what no other medium can.

YOU WILL NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS POST WITHOUT YOUR MIND BEING BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS.So I saw that over on Scans Daily 2.0 no one has posted a One Perfect Moment for the Silvery Scion of Zenn-La ( Read more... )

As soon as I saw that a One Perfect Moment week had been launched over on Scans Daily 2.0, I knew that I had to post this page. (I wind up posting this page approximately once every eighteen months or so in order to make a point. Thus, apologies in advance if you've already seen it here.) There is so much excellent stuff being posted by various ( Read more... )

After yesterday's negativity, screw it. Have a preemptive Saturday Grab Bag Post instead of a Sunday Grab Bag Post ( Read more... )

First up, some excellent news:

REGINALD HUDLIN IS OFF THE BLACK PANTHER BOOK.YES! Yes! And lo, there was rejoicing in the streets, warring tribes threw down their arms and embraced, kittens and puppies frolicked in luminous rays of sunshine throughout the land(s), Japan stopped Rule 34-ing the entire world, AND EVERYONE GOT CHOCOLATE ( Read more... )

Wow, getting to the DMV at 7:20 AM so you can be the first in the door when they open at 8:00 AM? It's really worth it. We were literally the first in line, Loyal Little Brother and I, and we were in and out the door within seven minutes with registration and new license plates. Fantastico ( Read more... )

So I was having horrible flu-like symptoms (aching joints, inability to keep down food, headaches, nausea, sore throat) most of the week, and given that the swine flu merrily making its way around the world and given my normally paranoid tendencies when it comes to disease, I was of course in the grip of nightmarish scenarios that all ended with me ( Read more... )

First, some random things that must dutifully be chronicled:

1. I've been icing my ankle four or five times every a day while I go through physical therapy. My physical therapist, who is relentlessly thorough, keeps telling me that gel packs you get at drugstores aren't frigid enough and that I better either use ice or use one of those Cold Pac ( Read more... )
