Wow.

It’s been a while. I’ve been busy. Working… you know.

Anyways, I’ll try to start posting more often… maybe.

Oh… It’s been snowing! Awesome! This is the first snow I’ve seen in about 6 years, and the most I’ve seen since like ‘94; so this is pretty cool.

Didn’t get to see Nathan for Christmas, which sucks. Sent him his presents, though. Now he wants a Jack Skellington costume for his birthday. Where am I supposed to find a Jack Skellington costume in February?

The first issue of Brand New Day was great, but my favorite “new” title is “The Incredible Hercules”. Also Messiah Complex rocks.

I am bored and decide to take a quiz

Well, it won’t let me post the results.

Anyways it was a Superhero Dating Quiz from comicvine.com. My top 3 results were:Kitty Pryde, Araña, and Lyja.

Yay.

Agony of the Damned

I am sick.

I have a cold and can’t sleep because I’m all congested and can’t breathe through my nose.

Oy…

Gear Grinding

Why do people call up at 3am with billing questions, etc…?  I know there’s people who work 3rd shift and this is when they’re up (I’m one of them), but if I had a question about my bill I would wait and call during the day.

I’m not a manager.  There’s nothing I can do.

They’re called “business hours”, people.

Pop Goes the Wizard

There’s a bit of an uproar over Wizard’s rebranding.

This guy’s opinion is pretty close to my own. I don’t buy Maxim, either. I might buy the occasional issue of Blender, but that’s about it.

Didn’t they try something like this a while ago? Am I remembering wrong, or did they have something like “the Maxim of comics” on their spine once?

I remember a few years ago they tried to be more of a pop culture magazine. They had inserts about South Park and Austin Powers of all things.

Anyways, I’m tired. I’m going to bed.

Can you tell the difference between Glenn Beck and a sociopath? 

I was… the HULK!!!

I had a weird, jumbled up, sort-of lucid dream today.  Here’s what I remember:

I was in some shopping center/amusement park kind of place with Angel and her boyfriend.  Nathan was nowhere around.  I guess I realized I was in a dream, because I decided I wanted to “Hulk out” to see what it was like.

(Is this normal for lucid dreams?  You realize you’re dreaming and you gain some control, but you’re not fully conscious?  Because really, if I could do anything I wanted… becoming the  Incredible Hulk would not be top on the list.)

Anyways, I tested out my new strength by punching through a glass window into some store/office/classroom kind of place.  And it hurt.  Not as much as actually punching through a glass window would, but I felt pain.  I don’t know if I’ve ever felt pain in a dream before.  Inside the building, I picked up a desk and threw it.  I don’t remember how far it went.

Back outside, I thought briefly about attacking Angel’s boyfriend but decided that would be wrong.  Instead I pickup some of the boardwalk that we were walking on.  After this things got a bit jumbled up.

Then I woke up.  Kinda.  Except I wasn’t in my bed, I was lying on the floor next to the washing machine.  And somebody was doing laundry because it was running.

Then I woke up for real; realized it was still too early, and decided to go back to sleep.

My dreams after this were fairly generic about my dad’s car being stolen and us throwing sticks at each other.

…

On an unrelated note, I have access to a computer now.  So, I don’t have to type on a PSP anymore!

Now my apartment’s feng shui is way off…

This is a whiny post.

I got a washer and dryer today. I should be happy. Unfortunately, the only hookups are in my bedroom; so I’ll essentially be sleeping in a laundry room.
From an office to a laundromat… at least I had a bedroom for a few weeks.

On the bright side, I won’t have to walk the mile (exaggeration) to the complex laundry anymore.

Back on the Saddle

Now that I know I can post on my PSP, I might start posting more often.
Of course, the posts will be really short because I don’t want my thumbs to give out.

Anyways… comics I bought today:
Batman #669- and I’m done with this title; at least until Bat-mite shows up.
The Loners #5
X-Men #203
