Good morning friends!

I have a lot of cleaning that needs to be done today because I have all the in laws coming here this weekend. I'm not overly excited about this but oh well. I'm having a hard time trying to imagine 8+ people sitting in my livingroom.

At least my neck and shoulder aren't hurting anymore.

So how's Friday going for the rest of y'all?

Yay, Euro-Comics of questionable nature. I'm surprised no one's mentioned Serpieri yet.

I'm not even mentioning some of the names of the collected editions I have here, as the discussion would head into territory better left to the erotica forum...
But Druuna was...

Oh.

Yeah. You're right.

Nevermind....

Gullivera was... Wait. Nope. Not suitable for this forum either...

There's a really cool CG rendered story from the late nineties (or early 00's) with liquid metal barely covering the lead character throughout (when it is covering her, that is) and cool Matrix-esque vibe to it. I so very nearly put that in the "charity shop" stack when I was sorting things out, but noticed in time to snatch it back into the 'save' pile. Still not impressed by Turtle-boy's handling of the English-language version of Heavy Metal though, no matter what he brought to attention.

Is it Caturday yet?

Well, I'm off work today, so it's sort of like I have two caturdays! :)

I always feel at a loss when the conversation turns to comics. I read a few EC comics when I was a kid, and went on a two week DC binge in my mid twenties. But beyond that, I've never been one for comics. Like the idea, not willing to lay out the bucks.

I read a couple Archie comicbooks as a kid, and those scary ones, like the Outer Limits... I don't know what they were called. I'm sure they damaged me for life... but other than that, I've never been into them.

When I try to read one, I find I can't. I just want to read the text. I'm such a reader. I don't have patience for looking at the pictures, so I'm sure its wasted on me. I get so frustrated trying to find what panel to read next.

In local news...

A minor Japanese celebrity is making the headlines. He has been caught dating two women at the same time and being engaged to both of them. I feel for the women involved, one a celebrity cook the other a national super model.

I have no sympathy for the guy involved. Beyond the sheer shittiness of doing that kind of thing, he was just plain stupid.

1. He is a celebrity. People pay attention.
2. Both women are also celebrities. People pay attention to them as well.
3. The women are friends with each other.

I really, really don't understand how he thought he could pull this one off. I am amazed he pulled it off for as long as he did. But Japanese folks tend not to talk about their personal life much. One cynical part of me wants to believe that this is some kind of publicity stunt for one or more of the individuals involved but I just can't do it. That would require a level of imagination that I can't imagine in the recent Japanese celebrity world.

This is because we are just now getting over the "BakaKawaii" fad. Bakakawaii = stupid but cute, or, so stupid they are cute.

For those who don't know, the Japanese celebrity world looks something like the American TV celebrity world from the 60s or early 70s, before the sitcoms took over.

Lots of variety shows and comedians/singers/whatever who go from show to show throughout the week.

oh... you Japanese celebrities... you must be so cute...

With the crap that goes on here, this would hardly be a sidenote. Right now, we're all so worried that Kim Kardashian is going to fire her mother as her agent, and that JLo's hired her babyfaced boy toy as her choreographer. I see that ending in tears...

Buffy died twice. She's getting good at it. It's the coming back that sucks.

Like in the nightmare world when she was a vamp.

Oh, you comic book kids... you're so cute....

Greetings again, Cantina.

I've emerged from the editing cave for a brief respite. Making low fat enchiladas. Whoo hoo.

I also came across the part in the WIP where I used a word close to Fen's heart.... I remember adding it and coming here and telling ya'll about it. And now i"m telling you about it again. It's ok. It made the cut.

This round.

:)

Hullo, all! *waves at the new faces!* Sick Ande has been sick for about 2 1/2 weeks. Like, scary sick. It was no fun at all and I want my two and a half weeks back. Especially the weekends! :( All that said, I'm feeling much better now and am positive there are no trips to the hospital in my near future. Yay!

Did I miss anything REALLY important, like books or stories being accepted or movie deals being struck or someone winning the lottery? I don't think I'll ever be able to catch up on thirty-odd pages....

I'm glad to be back, anyway! :)

Welcome back. :)

You want us to distill the last thirty pages?

*sigh* New mods, stuff, Ace sans pants, more stuff... I also ruined Nutella for everyone (don't ask), and folks are now making porn requests in-thread.

This place gets stranger by the day.


YAWN? What kind of name is YAWN?

Howdy folks. I'm back and fully wedded/honeymooned.

Yay.

And what kind of name is Psychomacologist? :p

Wow! Sorry to hear that you were so ill! But very happy you're back! :D

Zanjan became a mod for Write 1/ Sub 1.

Umm. Didn't Zanjan also have a story accepted somewhere? Oh heck, the take-away is that Zan is awesome sauce!

We're all awesome sauce! Just don't tell the raptors. They might get... ideas.

*reads reps* ! Bettie. You never? But how could you not? Weren't you tempted? Even my new friend has gotten into it.

I can't believe this. Want to borrow mine? This is a crisis of SFF nerdiness!
