“Do what now?”
– Me. In an email to co-worker.
TWD 1.2
The Walking Dead ep 1.2 might have had a few too many zombies. In better news, the show was renewed for a 2nd season. Pleased.

Saw this book listed as on shelves tomorrow. I had to look in to that name. Gave me a small smile.

2nd best thing about Rubicon is the increasingly detailed commercials for The Walking Dead. (The best thing is Rubicon)

“The Town” was ok. I think I was thwarted by my expectations.

Hellboy v9: The Wild Hunt →
Stayed up late (too late) reading this eight issue volume. It’s easy for me to forget about good Hellboy comics are. They’re sorta infrequent and Hellboy is almost eclipsed by the giant story over in B.P.R.D… but The Wild Hunt rockets Red back to the top. I mean, come on. Touching on something as big as the [CENSORED] Legend? Added bonus that I recently read Matt...
Rambo 3.5 by Jim Rugg →
Best gag is on the 2nd page, but it’s a fun, Bush bashin’ romp. And go buy Jim Rugg’s “Street Angel”. Quality comics.
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Currently rented from Gamefly, I’m finding SC:C good and annoying. Basically, I think there are too many controls, and thumbsticks still suck for aiming. I’d love to try a demo on PC, but it doesn’t exist. And by my reckoning, it is not worth $60.
I do like the graphics, the sound, the mark and execute execute moves. I also like the video “projections” on the...

How come nobody told me about this show? Office mate of main character has the “Invisibles” hand grenade cover on his wall. A show about patterns, murder and global conspiracies? Yes please!

“The best way to understand the financial crisis is to understand the meltdown at AIG. AIG is what happens when short, bald managers of otherwise boring financial bureaucracies start seeing Brad Pitt in the mirror. This is a company that built a giant fortune across more than a century by betting on safety-conscious policyholders — people who wear seat belts and build houses on high ground —...

About that nightmare…
I was dreaming about something else; observing something that was fairly creepy and I was thinking, “Gee that’s really creepy”. Then suddenly I was back in my bed, in my dark room, and there was something on top of me. It was all black, maybe shiny, catching what little light there was coming through the blinds of my bedroom window. It was right above me. I could feel that its...

Art
Bought my second piece of original art today. Bid earlier this week, but the auctions ended today. It’s a 17x24 drawing of Catwoman by Cameron Stewart. He posted three such drawings in two days. I bid on the “all business” one, because I didn’t want cleavage on my wall. Curiously (or not), the other two, with cleavage, sold for more. And they both went to the same...

In which I complain
Got a co-worker named O.R. He works in Minneapolis, in Fleet IT. Somehow, the two Xcel nuke plants make a ‘fleet’. He is the main IT support for the records department. And he shows flahes of incompetence several times a month. I was involved in the records department for about 18 months, ending earlier this year. But this story doesn’t really need that background...
About Those New Comics
The Darkness #5 - Liked this issue more than expected. I actually forgot it was on my pull list. In this issue, we seem to be getting to the point of the story. A redemption for the main character, Jackie. Seems like it anyway. I’ve never read ‘The Darkness’ before writer Phil Hester, so it’s all new-ish to me. The ‘bad boy’ concept of old didn’t...
About Those New Comics
Authority #2 - Big panels w/ tiny captions. I didn’t follow it very well. Li flew into the “soul storm” to go find some people, gets taken out by the storm, sees weird things then sees a bad guy and forgets about the people she went to find and then she tells Hawkesmore that things are dire! Lots I didn’t understand. And nothing I was interested in finding out. ...
Mall Security
I work at a mall. Our parking lot has one entrance and one exit. The exit or ‘egress’ road runs along side the parking lot for ~100 meters. Monday night, before dawn, a truck drove into our egress road and collided with a jersey barrier. It hit hard enough to move the jersey barrier. The driver abandoned the truck, presumably on foot.
Neither the incident nor the abandoned truck...
