Lilith

| April 22, 2009

I always wondered where the Lilith myth came from, and now I have a better idea (source): Lilith does not appear in Genesis, nor is she mentioned in the Bible or other major religious works. But the stories of her as Adam’s first wife, and her subsequent “occupation” as a demoness, have existed for centuries. [...]

I (still) can’t stand Greg Land. Tracer != penciler!

| April 21, 2009

So I saw the cover to the right and got really annoyed.  Not only is it fucking hideous: Her boobs are even larger than normal giant comic boobs. The outfit looks like it was cut-and-pasted over pre-existing art (surprise – it probably was!) I KNOW I’ve seen that EXACT face somewhere.  Probably more than one [...]

Erfworld has me confused lately

| April 20, 2009

Starting here. I don’t get it.  Where did he go?  Why did the guy vulcan his ass?  And then why was the dirtamancer acting completely different after they left…and where did they leave??? Soooo head burning. Was it the place in between disbandings? Probably my favorite strip on the net…and I was cool with all [...]

weird spam comments #1

| April 19, 2009

So, here’s one from today, with the link happily redacted: Yooo.. I kno it has nothing to do with what you wrote, but have you ever heard of [some bullshit link]. They seems to promise free ringtones PS. Dont be an ass, this is NOT spam ;) Cheeky isn’t it? I wish I had the [...]

pullbox roundup

| April 19, 2009

Uncanny X-Men 508: OK.  Now that it’s been “confirmed” that the Red Queen is, in fact, NOT actually Madelyn Pryor (just stolen & animated her corpse I guess) I’m more interested.  Maddie was played out.  Her corpse..not so much I guess.  Which means that cover I mentioned could actually be showing the Red Queen in [...]

Peter Bjorn & Yawn

| April 18, 2009

Acquiescing to Rolling Stone’s demands, I listened to the new Peter Bjorn & John disc. No. Wtf? How is this “good”? I mean, it’s some guys making music but..is there something interesting about this music I’m just missing? It’s not bad by any stretch, but is it good? I…I don’t think so. Sure “Old Folks” [...]

Book review: The Hero of Ages

| April 17, 2009

by: Brandon Sanderson Oh my god – an epic fantasy series that actually finished not only in a timely manner, but within the bounds of my lifetime!  But let’s not congratulate the author only for that small feat – he also deserves praise for writing an awesome book & series.  The quality of writing in [...]

mixing mediums

| April 16, 2009

Ever get the urge to create in a medium you have less than zero aptitude for? Like today, I had this crazy urge to draw people. WHICH I CAN’T. Now, when I say I can’t draw – I mean that I can’t sing, and I can’t dance, and THEN I can’t draw.  Think of an [...]

Zack and Miri make a very average movie

| April 16, 2009

Oh Kevin Smith. *shakes head* You set out to make a mainstream movie (but with lots of cussing!) and you did.  This movie was utterly predictable (except that I wouldn’t have been surprised if he had slept with the porn starlet), in all the most standard of ways.  There were  many scenes that I thought [...]

net blips for the morning

| April 15, 2009

Some highly entertaining/interesting reading for the morning: Republicans get mad when the surveillance programs they thought were a good idea under Bush are turned against them.  Hey, I’m against all this surveillance too – but you weren’t crying about it when they were spying on lefties were you?  Karma’s a bitch. Matt Taibbi on the [...]
