-Flight of the Topless Valkyries-

Man, life is good.

First of all, I love my job. It's a crapload of work and stress, but it's worth it to be satisfied with something you enjoy. Plus, I get to use creative thinking, deduction, problem solving, and sharp wit.

Secondly, I have a hot girlfriend that plays Guitar Hero II with me. Not only plays, but kicks...

Aquatic Adventures in Slumberland

Disturbingly, this title is actually indicative of the content of this blog.

So, about five or so years ago, I bought a used waterbed from my dear friend Kelley. She had just gotten a new one, and I did not have one. I gave her a little sum of money, and we took care of each other's situations, as friends are...

What a busy few months it has been, and will continue to be. Always.

Our Fables party was a blast! I'll post pictures, hopefully soon. I dressed up as Bigby Wolf. If you've never read Fables, you seriously need to stop by either Austin Books or a nearby comic shop (if you don't live in Austin and must miss out on the talk-to-Brandon-about-the-greatness-of-comics experience) and...

I figure it is time for another update. Normally, I wouldn't think anyone would care, but TigerAngel demands to know just what is up. So here we are. A long winded update.

Okay, so what is going on? The huge thing right now is this Friday. Late that night (or very early Saturday morning) we will find out if all our efforts at the shop...

Manko made my day.

First off, I got a stupid haircut today. I'll be the first to admit I've never really had a good haircut. It's like my curse. My response is to just grow the shit out shaggy and look like the unkempt jackass I am. This time, I got my haircut because I am going to be filmed doing a little cross-promo thing...

Patton Oswalt Rules the World and Other Austin Stories

These, my friends, are crazy times for yours truly.

Everything this year so far has been a crazy rush, and that's saying something when I spend most of my time in one place. As mentioned many many times before, I am gainfully employed by Austin Books and Comics. At the start of the year, I found...

Okay, I'm trying this again. I was just in the middle of telling you about my trip to Hawaii, but I accidentally clicked a link and lost everything.

Now... I don't even want to repeat it. I hate typing, you see. Love writing, hate typing. In short, my writing career is kinda fucked.

Here, I'll sum up my thoughts on Hawaii in a few random...

So this was Christmas.

Wake up at Chris's place.
I am the only one awake after a Christmas Eve of booze and merriment, so i start to read Superman: Red Son.
Milla, Chris's Brazillion girlfriend asks if I like coffee. I do like coffe, and it sounded perfect. She told me it was Brazillion. I was excited.
I drank a couple cups of this coffee,...

My life is ridiculously awesome.

Sure, I'm always broke, and I'm not famous. I am the most happy-go-lucky sonofabitch in town, though.

Plus, I'm going to Hawaii for a week in January. There's another thing I thought I would never do, and here I am doing it.

The love life is no longer a dead mackeral. In fact, it's almost a little too lively. I...

So, Sharona 1881 tagged me a little while back. Now, I guess I have to say 20 things about myself. They won't be as interesting as Manko's, but I try to be smartass and funny, while remaining completely honest, so maybe you'll get some comedy. I did a list of 100 Things About Me before, and I'm going to try not to duplicate them. Here...

Friday night I went to see Veruca Salt by myself. I had just found out as I went into work that same day that they were even going to go there. So, right after work, I head to La Zona Rosa and caught the show.

It was exceptional, even with the minor technical difficulties. It was kind of strange, when you consider my history of...

Something has to happen. Something big and great.

I'm a happy person. I'm independent. Sure, I struggle to survive at times, but I think that just makes my story a little more interesting. I'm excessively content with my professional life. I fucking buy amazingly cool classic comics and then decide what other comic fans in turn will buy them for. Not to mention all the...
