I Believe You Have My Stapler.

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Yesterday afternoon when we came home from comic shopping, we found that someone had parked in the space in front of our apartment. Since the apartments are one story and there is only a porch between the parking spot and my front door, it feels pretty invasive to have a ...

I Love Shadowpact.

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

In case I haven't mentioned this before, I love Shadowpact. I've been reading it non-stop and it just keeps getting cooler. Shadowpact follows a team of magically powered superheroes and their adventures in the D.C. Universe. They generally fight obscure magic users and gods that threaten the Earth, but their exploits ...

The X-Men and Shadowpact Have Arrived.

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

I won a few eBay auctions recently and they finally arrived! I got 37 various issues of X-Men Vol.2 and the complete run of Shadowpact 1-25. Altogether I spent $50.80 for 62 comics. That's about $0.81 per issue. Not too shabby. The best part is that these comics are in ...

After dodging RFID security, gait recognition systems, and school hall monitors they close in on the ARG's latest clue. That very ...

Work. Plan. Sleep. Fuck Around. Sleep. Work.

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

I am so frustrated. I can't seem to get anything done these days. While its unreasonable to expect to get much of anything done on a workday afternoon, it would still be nice to accomplish something. On any given workday morning I get up at 6:30 and get to work by ...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

I saw the new Indiana Jones flick yesterday and I must say I LOVED it. For most of the film I was totally in the zone. You know the zone, that awesome feeling where you lose track of time and you forget that you're in a theater. Theaters tend to ...
