"Jeld-Wen to end Tradition Sponsorship." KTVZ.
Wow. Nice timing. You'd have thought they could have at least waited until this year's event was over. Sort of unseemly-like....Wonder why they did that?
"Enjoy your meal, BECAUSE IT'S THE LAST ONE YOU'LL EVER HAVE!!!"
"Enjoy the party, BECAUSE IT'S THE LAST ONE I'LL EVER HOST!!!"

A new book coming out, Stan Lee's How to Draw Comics.
As I said in my twitter, I imagine the first two lines are, "First you hire a guy name Jack Kirby. Then you hire a guy named Steve Ditko."

Whenever I haven't seen someone for a few years, they always remark, "You've lost weight!'
Well, no.
I just leave a very heavy impression.

It's hell when both of your competitors seem to be genuinely nice people. How can I be snarky about them if they're going to be that way? I like both Tina at Camalli Books and Hayley at Between the Covers.
So? Well, that just hasn't been all that true over the years. Most times, my competitors haven't even been friendly. Just one of those things.

I seem to be very unlucky with local reviews of comic related movies. Watchmen, Kick Ass, and now Scott Pilgrim have gotten very strong rating at Rotten Tomatoes -- a large majority of reviewers liked them.
But not the reviewers in the local paper. What's with that?

Friday the 13th. Luck for the Irish, my Dad always said, especially since I was born on the 13th and everyone in a while falls on a Friday. (Not this year, just saying....)
