pullbox special edition: X-Men line info from C2E2

| April 19, 2010

There was a bunch of X-Men related news at C2E2 this weekend, so here’s an even more condensed version of what’s up at CBR. X-Force to end and relaunch.  Sounds like “Wolverine’s X-Men” meets Secret Warriors.  Teaser image below. The guy on the right looks clearly to be Fantomex, it’s suggested in the article that [...]

pullbox for 04/16/2010

| April 16, 2010

Ultimate Comics – Enemy 3 : One more issue to go and we still have no idea what’s going on.  And the thing is ready to mutate?  I always loved the super-rocky thing from the FF of my youth, so hopefully we’ll see that in the Ultimate U.  So, while this issue doesn’t really go [...]

the worst day of my life

| April 15, 2010

I’m hesitant about posting this, because it’s kind of painful… but I went to the emotional and typographical (real word, being used by me in completely the wrong way) trouble of creating it, so here it is: A post of Rachel’s got me thinking about a day I both wish I could never remember and [...]

Wednesday lyrics: 100,000 fireflies

| April 14, 2010

100,000 fireflies by: Magnetic Fields I have a mandolin I play it all night long It makes me want to kill myself I also have a dobro Made in some mountain range Sounds like a mountain range in love But when I turn up the tone On my electric guitar I’m afraid of the dark [...]

I lost my book

| April 13, 2010

The one I was reading…  it’s in the house somewhere.  IT HAS TO BE.  But where?  I mean, there are only so many places it can be, and it seems to not be in any of those.  I can’t remember the last time I lost a book.  It’s driving me crazy.  I don’t want to [...]

book review: Changes

| April 13, 2010

Changes by: Jim Butcher No, Dresden does not own a cowboy hat – or any hat.  Yet he’s always got one on the cover.  And the “runes” on the staff apparently spell “Matrix” in katakana.  Two more bits I just remembered from Butcher’s Q&A session. Tangent: What is up with all the photo/photorealistic pictures on [...]

game review: Mass Effect 2

| April 12, 2010

OK, so like three months later (than everyone else), I finally finished Mass Effect 2.  It took me something like 32 hours of play time, and I played through a (matronly) female infiltrator.  Man, the female faces are FUG.  Urk.  They need more women working on this – or was the point to have everyone [...]

Jim Butcher @ Powells

| April 9, 2010

Last night I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Jim Butcher signing a the Cedar Hills Powells.  The crowd was surprisingly large, bigger than the Brandon Sanderson crowd I think… which was really surprising and a little confusing, here’s about half the crowd: I sat next to his biggest fan, apparently.  I [...]

Pity the wealthy!

| April 8, 2010

At least I think that’s what this AP dispatch is getting at. Why else would the writer say things like The result is a tax system that exempts almost half the country from paying for programs that benefit everyone, including national defense, public safety, infrastructure and education.  It is a system in which the top [...]

Wednesday lyrics: Scrabble Girl

| April 7, 2010

Scrabble Girl by Joe Christmas there’s something rad about the exciting and the new there’s something rad about getting to know you you don’t need a reason it’s always in season to stay out all night long rocking to the same old song and staying out ’til night turns into dawn A simple one for [...]
