Is there an image better known in punk rock than this one? (Ok, maybe this one – man that reminds me, I have a magazine cover print of that somewhere without the album lettering on it. Man is that awesome! Gotta find it). Well, the two are 10 years apart (79-89), so they might as [...]

Seriously, I don’t get it. How does this lead into Final Crisis? Darkseid, all the good New Gods (except Forager evidently) & all the bad New Gods are dead. Yet Darkseid & the bad New Gods are supposed to be the villains in Final Crisis. Ok, sure, so we know we’re dealing with a very [...]

because poor Z has been a bit despondent lately. Not to mention he teased us with a week of good sleeping, and is now back to horrible, multi-waking sleep. We put him in the bed with us last night because he was waking so much, and he proceeded to wake us with him all night. [...]

Fake tans. I can’t stand them. There are lots of places to get fake tans in the Portland area. Because, you know, you won’t stand out at all in a city where THERE IS NO SUN 9+ months a year you have no sun. Here’s some random info about the history of sunless tanning (and [...]

OK, one of them is from Feb or March, but here’s some random links I’ve been squirreling away for today (which is, surprisingly, not a rainy day). CBR has a nice interview up with Terrance Howard about Iron Man. The mind-reading machine article you’d have to be hiding under a rock to have missed. Two [...]

I guess it was a tournament, I don’t know all the terminology – but I went to the Shadowmoor prelease thing in Portland this morning and played in the first (limited) sealed tournament. I figured this would be a good time to try something competitive because most everyone is seeing the new cards at the [...]

by: Madeleine L’Engle Yes, I read 3 young adult fiction books over the weekend last weekend. Out of that whole huge stack of books I re-acquired recently, there was nothing else I really felt like re-reading yet. OK, that’s not true – I wanted to read the Apprentice Adept series by Piers Anthony, but I’m [...]

Annihilation: Conquest 6 (OK, I didn’t buy this one yet, but I’m grabbing that hardcover as soon as it’s out!) It’s been a while since a crossover title was actually somewhat required reading for a mini – and I don’t mind it once in a while. As long as they don’t overuse the gimmick, it’s [...]

by: Eva Marie Garroutte Bethany’s post here led me to this post on another blog, which happened to recommend the relevant book: Publishers or reviewers could ask, point blank, “are you….” of authors who claim Native heritage or identity. But they don’t ask that of other writers, so, is it appropriate to do so here? [...]

from the Obama/Clinton “debate” last ( 4/16/08 ) night: Obama: “The problem that we have in our politics, which is fairly typical, is that you take one person’s statement, if it’s not properly phrased, and you just beat it to death. And that’s what Sen. Clinton’s been doing over the last four days,” and “But [...]
