The Internet was good to my mailbox yesterday, as not only did I get my
latest Heavy Ink shipment (House of M: Avengers #1, and Living with the
Dead #2), but I also found a game from Gamefly (The Orange Box.. Yay Portal!) and a package from shirt.woot! (Uh-oh)
That said, I donno how much I liked the books themselves. HoM:Avengers didn’t grab me, but I’m willing to wait until #2 to damn it. And while LwtD #1, about two dudes surviving Zombie Apocalypse by pretending they’re zombies already, was freaking awesome… issue #2 was wasted on them trying to impress a girl. It’s only a three-issue series; there’s a lot of fun to be had in this world, but not much time left to do it. :/
It’s worth noting that my prediction from earlier held true. My comics
only took three days to get to the Bay Area (not counting Sunday, of
course). It’s cool that it only takes a couple days to ship the stuff cross-country, but with that in mind: Is it really worth it to get the $3.99/shipment UPS option when the regular Postal Service rocks so hard for cheap?
(Let’s wait until Xmas traffic clogs the postaltubes before praising things too much, though)

Haha I had a spider bite on the back of my leg that was quite a horror! I won’t go into details.
As for Death Note, I really wish I could have seen it on the big screen. Oh well, I guess the DVD will have to do. Thanks for your comment :)
If it’s cooler here, I fear for you. I’m inside hiding from the heat, and it’s 7:30 am.

Hehehe. You know, I’m tempted. The Internet tells me it’s 20 degrees cooler there than it is here. :)
Also: I need a freaking vacation.
I saw your latest sketch blog, and all I could think about was Gordito’s mustache. Boo Ghost Wizards. Yay McNinjas!

Is your MacBook still under Warranty? Both times that my MagSafe died on me I just handed it to the nearest Genius Bar and got a replacement.
Thanks for the complements. And Yay for Dr. McNinja!
Hi Blu J! I was just checking out some of your pictures (clearly I am bored at work). I noticed you had a problem with your MacBook power adapter. I need to go buy a new one AGAIN. But mine gets tweaked right where it connects to the computer. I love the computer, but I hate the dumb cord.
Also candid portraits were awesome, as was the Irish bub with the tiki statue. Nice pics!
Hmm I’ll have to take that advice…

Twitter pic is 17-year-old me with a fake mustache in costume for a high-school play. HeavyInk pic, though, is a nice candid close-up of 22-year-old me at a cafe.
I use the cafe pic in social network profiles because it’s a great shot and you can still see my face even when it’s resized and tiny. I use the mustache in twitter and flickr because random giant mustaches are awesome.
Everyone needs a photo with a giant fake mustache. Everyone.
Whoa! I didn’t know that shirt.woot existed. I’ve been addicted to Woot for quite a while, but shirt.woot is news to me.
I’m your friend. Is that creepy? I just friended folks who seem like they’ll be blogging here and have interesting things to say. Also, you’re SO CUTE OMG.
Also: Thanks for the heads-up on the friending. Looks like HI doesn’t tell you when you’ve been friended, so I probably wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.
(I wonder if I’m anyone else’s friend)
@Todd: Yeah, I was pretty much underwhelmed by the latest New Avengers arc, myself. Seems like the Plot jumped around too much without any real payoff… but I’m sure things’ll pick-up when this Skrull business leads into the Secret Invasion. I should give it a re-read before I damn the last six issues to hell.
(That Mighty Avengers crossover didn’t help things, IMHO… the “New” guys rushed out to help the “Mighty” ones .months. ago… and Mighty isn’t getting around to their side of things until next week)
Good to hear that the packages are getting where they’re going so quickly…thanks for that info!
I love New Avengers, this arc isn’t “doing it” for me as much as some of the others, but Wolverine fighting The Hood was a lot of fun.
Never heard of it.. but now that I .have., I’ll keep an eye out.
thanks for the recommendation.
Marvel for life.
As for recommendations, have your read Earthboy Jacobus?
It is top 5, Sir.
Yeah, It’d be nice to do some simple HTML formatting in blog entries, but I’ll use the miniblog’s own rich-texty button things ’til then.
What would Really be nice, though, was if I could edit posts, or at least delete them so I could replace’m with something prettier.
(oh, and for the record: the HTML in my post rendered fine in RSS, it’s only on the site that looks like this)
