This weekend was my first in two weeks, so I couldn't let myself stay in any night. Technically, I'm not sure a weekend can be considered "over" until you have finished the sleep that you missed, so I'm really writing this not as a summary of the weekend, but just telling you how it's going so far.
I had a dream in which someone [I don't know if she was anyone in real life or just a dream person] named Ciel snuck into my bed and cuddled me while I was sleeping so that I wouldn't have to wake up alone. There was more too - a costume party and a dance contest - but the snuggling was the most important part.... Read More
hope everything worked out at the dentist...i'm sure the government will be very gentle...only after, they'll be able to hear everything!...that said, i will only speak to you in special code...you may never understand me again...
Sometimes I fear that I am getting too inured to comics. For instance, someone had to explain to me why someone might find the title of the comic "Giant-Sized Man-Thing" amusing. You see, I had interpreted that title, as Marvel Comics had intended, to mean "Large comic about a humanoid monster," and it hadn't occurred to me that it could also be read as "exceptionally...

"Considering that Linda's parents had never heard of Lesla-Lar, nor of Kandor, and that they did not consider it within the realm of possibility that an alien might kidnap their daughter and take her place, you'd think this would be fairly easy. However, we know from Lesla's internal monologue that she's the sort of person who has to constantly remind herself of who she is."
I'm not sure if this is public and I can link to it from off SG or anything, but I'd totally like to. The world needs more snarky comic blogs.
Some people swear that "nerds" and "geeks" are entirely different things. They say things like, "Geeks are into computers and nerds read a lot," as if this entirely made-up fact were common knowledge. Some people go as far as to say that "Nerd Rock" and "Geek Rock" are different things, which sort of makes my head hurt. So I decided to find out, philologically speaking,... Read More
I've always been "pud" or "tard" and have only worked up to "geek" at times. As of late it's been "you fucker", "cocksucker" or worse.
Work in a factory. I found the terms and labels that people give out tend to be the most colorful. When you're working on a bland, repetitive job you have more than enough time to come up with colorful insults!
Have you been reading any of the Infinite Crisis storylines from DC? Awesome stuff!
FYI -- you MUST check out this online store:
DCB Services -- check out the huge discounts they have! I picked up the Absolute edition of Watchmen and the hardback GN version of Identity Crisis (with shipping) for $60!!! Wow -- that saved me over $60.
"Sometimes I find myself gazing away. Often it's sudden and in the most interesting company. Then I return to the eyes and the words traversing the room. But in that moment of time, the soul of me is exalted and weeping and gazing, gazing."
-Steve Martin, "The Confessions of Raymond to his Goldfish"
Yesterday was my birthday party. Well, it wasn't officially a birthday party... Read More
birthdays are way over-rated. Frankly I hold out for celebrating other days that that...I mean, what's the big deal? You know who should get gifts and shit? MOTHERS! Hell, they did the work and brought us into the world, but at some point some selfish oaf said "hey, celebrate ME" and that was that.
Stiff upper lip kiddo -- if I can have someone suddenly appear in my life, so will you. Then you can dance all you want -- maybe do the Lindy!
I just realized how ironic it is that Independence Day is in the beginning of July, making the people born then Cancers, who are known for being dependent.
My problem, though, is not that I have personality disorders, only that I have the wrong ones. For instance, my life would be so much simpler if I was a narcissist. Narcissists have no problem finding love.... Read More
I finally saw "Batman Begins." Interesting movie, that. It starts with Bruce Wayne's childhood. No surprise there. After all, this is an origin story, so what better place to start than at the beginning, with his discovery of the batcave. He was playing around with a girl named Rachel. At this point, I thought to myself, "Who the hell is Rachel?" When I heard that... Read More
This morning, I heard Donald Trump come on the radio, signaling that I really should be leaving. For those of you who don't listen to the same radio station as I do in the morning, Trump has this segment right as I'm walking out the door in which everyone pretends that his opinions matter because he has a lot of money. I almost never pay... Read More
Brian Levy wrote today about the issue of inappropriate comparisons to Hitler. Since I saw a "Daily Show" report on this subject last week, I consider myself an expert. I must say that this has been a problem for far too long. Democrats are comparing Republicans to Nazis and Republicans are comparing Democrats to Nazis. It's absurd. Show a little decorum, people! Here's how arguements... Read More
I would like to say that the previous entry had a happy ending. In fact, I would like to say it had an ending. I guess it had a happy middle.
I wandered back to the cafe on Friday night. Again, I had a song on my lips - Sondheim again, naturally - this time "The Worst Pies in London." A little note about my... Read More
while reading your answering machine adventures, i couldn't help but think of that scene from the movie swingers where jon favreau calls that answering machine over and over. too funny.
here's an idea: instead of showing up 2 hours early to every event, try taking a nap in the park or something.
