With a single sigh...


A guy in my office just said that Queen's best album was "the greatest hits CD with the red cover".
And people wonder why I want to explode sometimes.
Worst of all, this guy's a "musician" (in that he writes and plays music in a band).
To me, saying a band's best album is one of their "Greatest Hits" collections is like saying, "I sure am glad I voted for George W. Bush."


Update : In that it says you are an idiot.

I don't believe in Peter Pan..

I know you're all fully capable of hopping around all the comic blogs yourself, but I can't help but share things.

It's what I do here.
For the last 5+ years.
So when I see this exceptional condemnation of "One More Day", I have no choice but to share it with you.
That's just how it works.


Plus, I've got to tell you about something if I'm going to make it to 400 posts this year.


I'll also say that though I hated everything about OMD, the previews I've seen of the first issue of "Brand New Day" look great. That doesn't mean I'll buy them, but it also doesn't stop me from saying they look great.

I'll also say that no longer having access to Flickr at work has really made dealing with images a pain.

Searching for the reason..

You can rearrange the letters in "Chris Haley" into "Ash lyric, eh?"
That is awesome.

I guess it helps to know Ash is one of my top five favorite bands of all time.

It could be worse..

Fizzit has an outstanding 30 Second Recap of Aquaman : Sword of Atlantis.
Please go enjoy it.

If you must pretend..

I got this today.
It's pretty awesome.

The figure is called "Crime Stopper Batman".
That is hilarious to me.
I may put him on my desk at work.

It's the girl in the front..

So 4 years and 6 issues of Mighty Avengers later (I'm estimating how long it's taken Frank Cho to finish these six issues), Bendis' ridiculous re-imagining of the "thought bubble" finally gives us two panels with insight into the characters' thoughts that were worth wasting all our time over.

Let us all thank Mr. Bendis.

Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Wow.
This must have been my slowest movie-going year ever.
This is headed somewhere, so naturally, there's more to come...

All day the radio's been playin' the same song..

So I saw Sweeney Todd over the weekend.
I liked it okay as I left the theater, but the further away from it I've gotten the more I like it.
I think the grammar, tense-wise, in that last sentence was all over the place, but what do you care, this is free.

Once I get access to better, less restricted internet I'll have some real, worthwhile content on the way.
I may have to breakdown and pay for the internet at home. Boooo!

You want antidote..

I'm still famous!
On the internets!
Say It Backwards has a whole post up just about little ol' me.
Wonders never cease.
My thanks, of course, to Thomas for the acknowledgment.

I tried to get back on the Werewolf vs Zombies ball last night, by drawing a new strip.. at a bar. As you can imagine, things didn't go very well.
I did manage a decent idea though, so I'll do it up for real soon.

Don't stop til you hit the ground..

28


I swear to you, answered this 100% truthfully.

UPDATE : If the thing isn't showing up properly, this is the link http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.com/
and I could take out 28 five year olds.

The clouds are starting to unwind...

More Werewolf vs Zombie is on the way, but the holidays really screwed my internal calendar up. I felt really bad for missing last week, but I honestly had no idea an entire week had passed since I'd posted the last one. I was having too much fun not having to work, I guess.
Now that my schedule is back to normal (blah) I should be back on the ball with it.
My thanks to Jason for reminding me that I needed to post this WvZ update.

I'm going to a town..

Also, and this has nothing to do with anything, but I'm going to try to break 400 posts this year.
I'm not really into the resolutions thing, but I'd like to set this goal for myself.
I also will make the promise to you (the reader) that I will try not to pad it out with bullshit posts like this.


Unless I'm really, really behind come October.

I need to know you love me..

Check it out, I'm famous again!
I'm now an official resident of Hanna-Barbera Town which puts me (quite happily) in some very good company.

That 50s movie monster..

So here's how my lunch went.
This is 100% true.

Taco Bell Drive-Thru Lady (TBDTL) : How are you doing today?
Me : I'm great, how're you?
TBDTL : Fine, can I take your order?
Me : What's the sauce I'm seeing on the Cheesy Gordita Crunch?

TBDTL : That's our Baja Sauce.
Me : Oh, well that's good, okay.
TBDTL : But we're out of it.
Me : The sauce or the whole thing?
TBDTL : The Baja sauce.
Me : Oh. Okay. Can I order it anyway?
TBDTL : Yes, sir.
Me : Will it cost less? (at this point Maggie, who's in the car with me, cracks up)
TBDTL : (Laughs) No, sir.
Me : Okay. Well, I'd like the combo.
TBDTL : Okay. I could put sour cream on it for you instead.
Me : Oh, no thanks, I'm actually allergic to sour cream.
TBDTL : I'm sorry.

I'm spilling my guts out here..

The Wii-mote Weapon Kit.
That's right.

We want Sweet!

The Weekly Crisis has put together a thoroughly enjoyable Best of 2007.
I can't say as I agree with all of it, but that's what's fun about these lists, isn't it?

And everything you think it's about..

At some point earlier this year I started writing (and abandoned) alternate lyrics to the old Spider-Man theme song.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Does whatever I tell him too
Spins a web, hits on guys
Catches thieves with curly fries

That's as far as I got.
This honestly made me laugh when I rediscovered it, so I thought I'd share it as a Christmas present to you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I made an omelette for Satan..

I wonder if anyone has eaten as many Junior Mints as me.
