New Comic Books! New Comic Books!

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Stopped by my friendly neighborhood comics shop yesterday and picked up the new issues of Astonishing X-Men and X-Men: Phoenix Endsong. Yay for the pretty! *drools on shirt* So I thought AXM #9 wasn’t quite as good as previous issues. It felt like a filler/action issue that didn’t substantially move the plot forward until the [...]

Light Before Day

Christopher Rice has a wealthy and famous novelist mother, a creative mind, a talented boyfriend, and a successful writing career as both a novelist and a journalist. I could hate him for this. In his newest book, Light Before Day, a whodunit-style story filled with [...]

I Bunny-Eared my Icon – ain’t it cute?

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

I’d love to write a long post about all the fun of this weekend, but I have editorials to write, so instead you get another round of picspam… UU Easter Can Hunt These are some children from my church hunting for canned food to donate to the homeless instead of Easter eggs. UU Easter Can [...]

Oops. Trip to the bookstore.

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

So, an innocent trip to the bookstore turned bad this evening when I suddenly dipped much further into my “I wanna go to the Big Damn Board Meet” account than I should have. It’s not all tragedy, but I need to use more caution in the future. On the other hand, the stack of books [...]

Dingoes ate my LJ post

Friday, March 25th, 2005

So, yesterday I had a brilliant post to share. I had figured out the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer to Live, the Universe and Everything. But wouldn’t you know it… LJ just made it go *poof* into some alternate dimension or something. And, of course, I can’t remember a bit of it. I have [...]

First off, thank to everyone for hugs and comments about Jedda. The house seems quieter today without her around – but not much quieter since Alexia is still in town this week and she and Craig get rather noisy. We finally got the viruses cleaned off the computer at home and had the DSL line [...]

R.I.P. Jedda Keys Pet, Companion, Guardian 1993-2005 I looked everywhere for a picture of Jedda, but I couldn’t find a good one in my files at the office. Jedda was a mixed breed who came to us along with her brother Jonah (also departed) as a puppy. She has guarded us from unwanted visitors at [...]

Happy Birthday Rob (late)

Monday, March 21st, 2005

Dios Mio! With all that silly wedding nonsense keeping me offline all weekend, I missed my opportunity to send birthday wishes to *-*-*buffyannotater”>! Happy belated birthday. Well, if you’re still nursing the virtual hangover, here’s some hair of the dog in the form of a Bloody Mary…
