Power Man & Iron Fist: fathers of biracial children for hire

| June 30, 2009

& other assorted comics chatter: Iron Fist 27: Yes, Danny Rand/Iron Fist will also be a father soon, following in his perennial buddy, Luke Cage/Power Man’s footsteps.  Also of note, and implied by my goofy title, is that the mother of said child (and soon to be wife of Danny) is Misty Knight.  Now.  This [...]

de-d*nkification

| June 24, 2009

Note: No d*nkeys were harmed in this post. If I have any avid blog readers, they may have noticed me removing all direct traces of the infamous “d*nkey p*rn” phrase from my blog.  It was funny for a while, but now I’m trying to clean up my hits and see what people are actually finding [...]

Starflyer and me

| June 23, 2009

Starflyer and me. [This an update of something I posted to my website a few years back] Starflyer is one of the few bands whose albums actually have character to me.   There are very few bands I have this connection with, probably because one of the prerequisites is that you have to be in on [...]

songs that “mean something” to me, part 2

| June 16, 2009

Part 2: I Can’t Be With You – Cranberries – This one should be in the last list, as it reminds me of my whole Cuesta period, what I can remember of it anyway.   I was still struggling, trying to stick with the religion thing, I was depressed because I had put off “real” college [...]

random comic thoughts

| June 15, 2009

Jeff Loeb really annoys me. So there was the fiasco with Red Hulk (let’s call him “BullshitHulk” for short) doing some sort of idiotic shit with gravity in order to “hold” Thor’s hammer.  That was dumb. Then evil murdering Magneto in Ultimate land can somehow just stroll around holding it? OK, maybe his hammer is [...]

stupidity: some thoughts on the characters in HBO’s “True Blood”

| June 6, 2009

So Jen & I just watched the first season DVDs over the last few weeks.  And it was decent – I mean we watched the whole thing right? However (always a however!), the characters pissed me off.  I don’t know if the writer(s) just think everyone from the South is an inbred moron, or just [...]

done with 1st edit pass

| June 6, 2009

So yeah. I “finished” my rough draft last Sunday  @100k words.  Yeah, I wrote 50k words in 19 days.  That’s seems nuts.  I didn’t even realize that until I went back and looked. Note that I’m not saying it’s anything other than voluminous crap – but one can hope. Then I spent a week or [...]

re: War of Kings #4 and other comic randomness

| June 3, 2009

Ouch. I actually wasn’t expecting that. It makes sense – no one really cares about her anymore I suppose.  But still. Well played.  Poor Gladiator. What else? Oh, Batman & Robin has lots of potential, in that wild Morrison & Quitely way.  I suspect it will be a great ride, and then collapse into itself [...]
