OK, so Z woke up at 5am this morning.  Which is not awesome. But he went to sleep at 8pm, so it makes sense (normally he’s like 10-730 with several interruptions).  Poor guy was sleeping extra restless, growth spurt we’re thinking?   So I’m feeding him now (555am), and noticed that the post I made last [...]

01/23/08 – Messiah Complications

| January 23, 2008

X-Men 207 First off, let’s get that cover gallery out of the way! What cover gallery you ask? Why a recap of all 13 Messiah Complex covers of course! Yes, some (all?) had variants, but except for a few cases I couldn’t find all the variants within the time frame I’ve allotted myself, so one [...]

card games and old friends

| January 23, 2008

So we finally got off our asses and out of town last weekend – we packed up a bunch of baby gear and headed to Eugene, for our first trip down that way in at least 8 months. Luckily, the wacky Webers happen to like us for some reason and have come to visit us [...]

One of the most wonderful things in the world

| January 22, 2008

is when I carry my son up to bed at night. Yes, oftentimes getting him to sleep is a pain in the ass, and he takes an hour or two to fall asleep. Yes, many nights he wakes up frequently, sending me running up 3 flights of stairs or hopping out of bed, trying to [...]

01/19/07 – 50% off sale at Excalibur

| January 18, 2008

Cable & Deadpool 49 I used such a large image because not only is it another cool Skottie Young cover, but it’s the penultimate issue. Da da duh. You sure wouldn’t know it from the issue though, it’s business as usual in Deadpool Team-Up! It was a pretty enjoyable arc all-around, and happened to feature [...]

No Hillary please.

| January 18, 2008

Unless it came down to her vs. the current republican candidates (hey, maybe old McCain from like…5?? years ago, but I don’t like current McCain so much). During the NH debated I listened to on Monday, Hillary & Richardson both kept bringing up their experience, to the point of it becoming a broken record.  Richardson’s [...]

Wacky old comics: Defenders v1 01-25

| January 15, 2008

Sometimes I read old comic books for kicks. It’s different than the way I enjoy “modern” comics in that most of the story lines (and characters!) aren’t actually interesting, so much as laugh out loud funny and silly, even by comic book standards. It’s a reality check in the way of how much even comic [...]

album review: Mendoza Line: 30 Year Low

| January 14, 2008

It’s weird how simultaneously disconnected and connected I am these days. I can miss that one of my favorite bands of the decade slipped out one more album a 4 or 5 months ago, yet I can be on top of some other pile of current & pointless factoids. Also, it’s possible that this is [...]

01/09/08 – Venoms, attaaaaack!

| January 10, 2008

Uncanny X-Men 494 And don’t forget “Baaaaad Bishop, no donut!” We find out why one of the alternate futures is important (but not the other, still nothing from it yet? I wonder if it’s Cable’s future? That’s my guess anyway). Lots of talking, and more whining about Caliban again, who really should have known better. [...]

random election (NH primary) factoids

| January 9, 2008

I haven’t seen this compiled together anywhere yet, and had to actually dig around and find it myself (I’m sure I just didn’t look hard enough though…everything is out there): Voter turn out in NH primary: 50% According to http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/33000.html * New Hampshire population was 1,314,895 in 200, 77.4% over 18 (1,017,728). According to the [...]
