X-Force 08

| October 31, 2008

I really like that we finally have Arcangel/Death back.  It was almost worth having every obnoxious villain that the X-Men actually managed to “finally” get rid of ressurected.  Almost. Maybe the writers & editors finally realized what I’ve been saying for many years now – what the hell is a guy with feathery wings going [...]

Astonishing X-Men – Ghost Boxes

| October 30, 2008

Not worth buying IMHO. I just can’t do the million ltd series anymore…I pretty much just get the one “event” book of the year and that’s it.  This was well written I guess but…what’s the point?  We already know what parallel worlds are like, invasions from them are nothing new.  This was just a build [...]

book review: Kundalini, and thoughts on writing

| October 28, 2008

OK I wrote most of this like two months ago, so for the most part I’ve forgotten where i was going…but I’ll see if I can patch it together if only to get it out the door. By: Gopi Krishna The story of how I got this book is worth telling.  Mostly because I don’t [...]

final round of links for October

| October 26, 2008

Let’s start things off with what must be a  Darwin award nominee.  I’m glad this wasn’t in the US, but I’m sure it could happen here. Oh look!  It’s another nominee!  You’ve heard of people dumb enough to fall for those scams right…?  But someone dumb enough to steal for one?  fail. The bit about [...]

veterans

| October 25, 2008

For some reason the topic of Veterans & the Current “War” keeps presenting itself to me lately. I come across moving photos of widows and their babies, mothers at tombstones, stories of brave soldiers who did make it home, but sans limbs, or blind etc.  Heck, even this week’s Amazing Spider Man (574 I think) [...]

hi

| October 23, 2008

Such a short word, but so amazing when uttered by a toddler, or mine at least in my current frame of reference. We were playing hide & seek with the shower curtain the other night and I would hide from him, and then show my face and say “Hi!”  Then he started doing it.  It’s [...]

John McCain – can we trust him with younger, sexier, countries?

| October 22, 2008

Dear John, I know you held me dear in your heart, through torture & trials, and held onto dreams of return. Well, now that we’ve been back together these last few decades you’ve tried your best to love me I know, but are you sure you’re ready to take it to the next level? I’ve [...]

music lately, mine – and you?

| October 21, 2008

The new TV on the Radio is good.  Different.  I like it.  Suggest you check it out.  Worth buying. Bah, I didn’t know there was a deluxe version with bonus tracks!  I hate that bullshit. GRRrr. New Bloc Party…not so much.  Glad I checked it out before buying it.  One song I hate, a few [...]

I love links?

| October 17, 2008

Wow.  I’ve listed up a ton of stuff so far, I had to post this before the list got any longer. Most of it is political (you can tell where my mind is lately), so apologies ahead of time if that bores you. Here are two follow-up stories downplaying the Acorn-phobia that Republicans are trying [...]

final debate thoughts

| October 15, 2008

I’ll keep my thoughts short since I’m tired of typing: McCain came across as really angry/annoyed (to me of course!) again. Surprise!  He brought up the Ayers crap that I thought he might have the balls to go against his Rove-eges advice.  This isn’t going to get him any points.   Specifics aside, I suspect that, [...]
