OMG! 24! Seven Months!! >_<

Brilliant, brilliant, freaking brilliant! XD The last 15 minutes were nothing short of inspired, especially when you consider how the characters (and writers) entered this season. Now Jack’s on a “slow boat to China.” (A bad, bad joke… and a wickedly funny one, nonetheless.) Wow. This is officially my favorite season: strong and taut writing [...]

Comic Book Day – 05.17.2006

This week didn’t kill my wallet. (YAY!) – THE DEVIL DOES EXIST, Vol. 6 by Mitsuba Takanashi (DC CMX) – FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, Vol. 7 by Hiromu Arakawa (VIZ MEDIA/ ACTION) – GALS!, Vol. 6 by Mihona Fujii (DC CMX)

Yesterday & Today

Saturday Work, work, run errands, dinner, work and watch the last of the SMALLVILLE, Season 3 box set. Sunday Mother’s Day lunch with Mom and JR, work, errands, work, work, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, GREY’S ANATOMY. You go, Lynette! (That’s probably how I’d handle the situation.) Poor Gaby. (In any other circumstance, that maid would be toast.)

Sweet Smells…

Last night, when I went to buy a replacement bottle of my current favorite perfume, I was informed by a not-so-helpful Macy’s salesperson that it’s been discontinued. What the heck? Since when? Especially considering it’s only been out since late 2004? I ran across to Dillard’s and was able to buy one of their few [...]

Comic Book Day – 05.10.2006

WHEW! Now that the bile is out of my system, let’s move on to more important things… – DESCENDANTS OF DARKNESS, Vol. 11 by Yoko Matsushita (VIZ/ SHOJO) – FABLES #49 by Bill Willingham w/ Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha and cover by James Jean (VERTIGO) – FROM FAR AWAY, Vol. 10 by Kyoko Hikawa (VIZ [...]

That’s It. I’m Done.

Screw AMERICAN IDOL. They can bugger off. I’m done. Chris was the one contestant who was “performance ready” from the start. Unlike just about every other competitor, none of his efforts were utter train wrecks. If he gets with the right producers and team, this guy has the potential to make music that people — [...]

A Brief Mea Culpa

I’ve been a major blog slacker over the last couple months. The “whys” aren’t so important to most of the people reading this, but the short version is that I’ve been busy — insanely busy — with work. (This is really *great* news, although it’s semi-exhausting for me. ^_^) The pace also seems to be [...]

Comic Book Day – 05.03.2006

I consider the fact I’m posting this on a weeknight to be a victory. :-) There seems to be a “feast or famine” effect with orders placed through Diamond Comics. Only one of my preorders came in last week, so I’m sure most people can guess — even before reading the list — what kind [...]
