I find Clinton much more interesting as Secretary of State

| March 31, 2009

Or maybe it’s the other way around? I never knew anything about Condoleezza before she took the job, so I didn’t have any idea what to watch out for.   Now with Clinton, we’ve been subject to all kinds of laundry. And she’s got something to prove right?  So, let’s get this fire cooking with rhino-grease [...]

I will buy your album digitally for $3.00

| March 30, 2009

Really, that’s somewhere close to the magic number. $.30 per song or $3.00 album (regardless of track count.  Maybe $4.00-4.50 for a double album.) When allofmp3.com was functional, I bought many albums at their lower-than-that-magical-pricepoint of $.70 or so per album..that was sweet.  But alas, nothing gold can stay. The bullshit iTunes price of .99/track [...]

a good draft pool

| March 28, 2009

Sometimes I get lucky: I honestly would have been happy just to get the Wall of Reverence – but the rest of the deck supported it really well.  I won second in that draft, and I actually expected to win.  The guy that did beat me…his deck was really unspectacular, but effective.  Basically domain commons [...]

50 Cents

| March 27, 2009

You know, I’ve actually been corrected by older people (read 35-50) on how to say 50′s name a few time..I say “fifty” because thats how you FUCKING SAY THE NUMBERS 5 AND 0 WHEN WRITTEN NEXT TO EACH OTHER, but the friendly older folks are like “Young man, I think it’s ‘Fiddy’.” To which I [...]

X-Men: Kingbreaker #4

| March 27, 2009

was some the shit yar. AKA Starjammers v4.3 or so. The thing with Havok and the star guy…CLASSIC. Some major shake-ups, a direct lead in the no-I-won’t-link-it probably return of Jean Grey, good action scenes and another original Starjammer potentially dead (although I suspect he’ll return as some warped hybrid before too long). Ch’od loses [...]

Blog has moved!

| March 26, 2009

Did you notice? Hopefully not too much. Why? More customization: I can dl whatever theme I want (even though I’m not using that).  I can edit the .css and .html for the themes (you may not notice but I will!). I can hopefully allow other kinds of media embedding – wp.com embedding was driving me [...]

Mighty Avengers 23

| March 26, 2009

Was a step up & in the right direction. I find it surprising that Hank can keep up with Tony’s flight speed, especially at micro-size. Splitting the Young Avengers around (see Wiccan in NA 51) is interesting…curious if that will have any effect on their sporadic series.  I think I heard somewhere that the original [...]

having children changed me

| March 26, 2009

No, not giving birth, because Jen did all the work there, but the metaphor & posession part of “having”. [Warning: May contain mush and cheese.  Viewers may not want to have full stomachs.] So right, “duh” right? It changes everyone. This I know, but some of the changes are more interesting, from an internal perspective, [...]

X-Infernus 4: what happens when editors write?

| March 25, 2009

I totally get what he was trying to do here (get Illyana back for New Mutants v3) , but the execution was spotty at very best.  Not worth buying. They let Pixie just fly off into Limbo then just fucking left her there???????  While making a speech to Illyana about not leaving people behind??? MMMMM [...]

Heroes 0320: Cold Snap

| March 25, 2009

Was, I think, hands down the best episode of the series so far.  Keep in mind, that’s not saying much.  But, I’m unashamed that I watched it.  I’ll say that much at least. We lose two decent characters – both get good ending. We didn’t have to sit through any Claire-angst. Hiro gets a portion [...]
