good things come in…..fours, fives?

| August 19, 2008

It’s a crazy year for the Frenches.  A good kind of crazy. The dice in my head (you know, like Mat from the Wheel of Time series? I’ve literally felt like that for the past month – it was maddening!) finally stopped rolling on Friday.   And it was a pretty good roll. Everything went [...]

we’re moving….now!

| August 16, 2008

ok, the movers will be here in about 2 hours, but you get the idea. Comcast decided to shut us off 2 days early or something….so right now I’m connected via bluetooth over my cellphone running as a modem.  Fun stuff. oh, and we didn’t really get to sleep last night because it’s SO FUCKING [...]

docs are signed!

| August 14, 2008

Amazing Spider-Man 567

| August 13, 2008

So she’s 12????? The decoy thing was kinda stupid.  He could have just said she thought he was Spider-Man on her own reasoning, end of story.

Fantastic Four 559

| August 13, 2008

Ok. This is the second dumbest Marvel comic this month, but really only for the last 3 pages.  The others were OK.  Not great, but OK. Coincidentally it seems to also be the second Marvel book this month to be playing the very obvious “these guys/guy beat someone impossible to beat so they are total [...]

book review: The Dark River

| August 13, 2008

by: John Twelve Hawks (not his real name of course) I really shouldn’t be reading depressing books.  For some reason I’m having a predilection for tending towards melancholy…and this series’ bleak outlook on life is not really what I need right now. Nonetheless, I picked up book two and blew through it, leaving the half-read [...]

retarded?

| August 12, 2008

People are protesting the movie  Tropic Thunder! But not for what you think! This was a step past absurdity for me.  (Summary: people are offended at the word “retard” in a movie, and that movies SATIRICAL portrayal of Hollywood’s attempt to Orally Oscarize itself via actors portraying retards in movies). Money quote: The studio arranged [...]

in response

| August 10, 2008

to this article, appropriate quote being: So I take heart from Tony Parsons and his “Fear of fake breasts”. If only there were also men out there who would rail against all the other elements of porn culture that seem to have invaded and pervade our everyday lives and beauty predilections (the orange tans, Hollywood [...]

zombie nation & the future

| August 8, 2008

No, I’m not talking about whatever the latest zombie game or movie is.  I’m thinking about coffee actually.  Coffee and cigarrettes.  I go into Starbucks at least once a week for their (better than) McDonald’s style breakfast muffin thing and uh..chocolate milkshake.  Ok, not really, I get a mocha frappunico…but it’s basically a cracked out [...]

(red) Hulk #5

| August 6, 2008

OK. I’m not usually one to get all fanboyish about this superhero vs. that one, but this issue was really, really stupid. Wait, I meant typical Loeb.  Sorry.  Same thing.  (Since when does magic give a fuck about gravity?????) We’re playing an overly exaggerated version of “this guy is so badass he could beat up [...]
