X-Men – Divided We Stand 2: Wow, what a piece of shit these two one-shots turned out to be huh? The Beast story is the best written, and I like that it brought the disembodied brain (Martha?) back. Seeing as how it was written by Mike Carey though, it should at least be decent (although [...]

from beliefnet: In the past few primaries, pollsters have spliced the numbers so we could see to what extent white voters said race was an important factor in their vote. Below, the first number is the percent of white voters who said race was important; the second number is Obama’s margin of victory or defeat: [...]

is out today. And it’s got so much good stuff: Villain epic archetypes (unlocked by having a level 50 villain)! Lots of randomly re-assigned powersets – from the very random (electric stalkers), to the much desired (/storm corruptors & masterminds) to the “I don’t really care” (fire/ scrappers sans combustion). A new area with a [...]

The Third Book of Lost Swords: Stonecutter’s Story by :Fred Saberhagen Nice long title for a relatively short book. This is yet another book that I really should have read (it was in my collection, and it’s almost unheard of for me to have a book without reading it) – but nothing inside set off [...]

So we met some friends of ours (hi Webers), and friends of theirs (hi Jason & Dirk) at the Soapbox, err Saucebook, Saucebox. Whatever. That’s right – we took our baby into a bar. And rocked that shit. Married couples & wobblers can still party. Oh yes we can. OK, so we didn’t party. I [...]

So we had to stop and get gas on the way home yesterday, because our car politely told us with a flashing pump icon that we were about to be stranded if we didn’t do so immediately. $4.09/gallon for premium (not that $3.89 for the lower grade is any better) = $65 for the whole [...]

Wolverine 65 – “Get Mystique” finale..wow who didn’t see that lame ass/cop-out ending coming from ohh…since the arc was announced? Stupid. Ultimate X-Men 93 – Umm. OK. Sure, whatever. Things are reset almost to ground zero – the professor’s legs are broken again?? What the fucking hell? Did Kirkman un-break them then re-break just to [...]

“But wait,” you say “isn’t Andy a punker?” Well, not really, although you might think that by the other albums I’ve got in my 95% bracket. I love music, in all its glori–no wait, in about 70% of its glorious forms. And rock’n’roll happens to be a nice chunk of that. And this happens to [...]

So a few weekends ago I turned on my almost never used Ubuntu laptop. It was running Feisty I think…version 6.something. I just recently found out you could actually update entire OS versions from inside the OS – which I think is the boss shit. I found the instructions here. Anyway, it worked almost perfectly. [...]

That’s not quite phrased right, but I’m still really angry about the whole thing and that’s what I typed originally, so that’s what I’m leaving it at. I think you’ll figure out what I’m getting at anyway. So we all know about honor killings in Iraq (and other backwards parts of the Arab world) by [...]
