The first issue of my Wonder Woman subscription came today, freakishly on time. I'm going to have to describe DC's subscription system as customer-unfriendly overall, especially in comparison to Marvel's. They use a really weak cardboard backing and soft plastic wrap to ship their books. The issue came through fine, but I worry about the days it ( Read more... )

Found this via majingojira at SD. Animated ASX #1. It's actually pretty good, though the voice acting is a bit flat.

Dear Joss Whedon,

Please stop doing this. (Spoilers for Buffy #14) Your blind spot regarding certain issues, you know them, we've had this talk, is really, REALLY SHOWING. Good god, man.

Also? Never, ever write X-Men again. Stay the hell away from the mutants from Westchester, because Astonishing was so painfully average I can't bring myself to ( Read more... )

420 today. Guess what the theme for the afternoon radio show was? Yeah, don't over think it. I have never heard so many songs about Mary Jane in my life. Strangely, Bob Marley's was probably the least awesome.

So The Weakerthans have a song about curling. Only in Canada, baby. I've heard 'Tournament of Hearts' a few times but I only twigged to ( Read more... )

So I just spreed through Grant Morrison's New X-Men and I'm left with an overwhelming feeling of... huh. His ideas, while interesting and fun, often work against the X-Men mythos, to the point where his run is destructive of the brand. It's easy to see why they decided to retcon and overwrite quite a lot of his Big Ideas, and chose Joss Whedon as ( Read more... )

Flist: for those of you who are pierced, rec me some good jewelry sites that ship to Canada. I is look for good quality platinum, white gold, diamonds and gemstones ( Read more... )

I subscribe to The Walrus, a Canadian arts and culture mag. In the October issue they published this poem ( Read more... )

Oh Rescue Me.

"I got a girl. She's in a wheelchair, but she has the sweetest ass."

"How can you tell?"

"Sometimes I stand her up."

AND

*spritz*

"Hey!"

"¥ou had a little like, baby thing on you. *waves hand in front of nose* And anyway it's Curious, by Britney Spears."

"Yeah, well. Mystery's over. She's a whore."

A couple of episodes are ( Read more... )

"Half-heartedly is never how Jack and Meg White, together known as the White Stripes, do things. While most people celebrate anniversaries with a nice dinner, a bottle of bubbly or maybe a weekend away, the Detroit rockers opted for something a little more dramatic: an expansive 10th-anniversary Canadian tour that will take the pair to every single ( Read more... )

"There's something puzzling about the way Def Jam has pulled out all the stops to anoint Rihanna as the world's newest pop superstar and to position Good Girl Gone Bad as its blockbuster summer tentpole. The chief characteristic of Rihanna's voice, after all, is a sort of knife-edged emptiness, a mechanistic precision that rarely makes room for ( Read more... )
