COMICON — THE FINAL CHAPTER!!
This saga has seemed to focus more on getting sleep than on comic books. Part of it may be that I’m often sleepy when I update this. Part of it may be that I’m not sure that everyone who reads this knows what I’m talking about when I talk comics, everyone can relate to sleeping. [...]

5×2
Work is even earlier tomorrow (4 AM!) so here are short, two sentence thoughts before the final Comicon story. in no particular order. I check the mail nearly every day, but all that’s ever there are ads and Ed’s bank statements. Then yesterday, all the books that I’d ordered this summer came at once! … [...]

Oops, sorry this is so belated! I cannot keep a calendar straight in my head, even though there is one right next to my desk for that spectacle purpose, so I forgot that I would be gone for a quart of days for a family reunion on the lovely Oregon Coast. That may get a [...]

What had started as a post-college romp through the hallowed halls of popular culture had come with the dire, unexpected consequence [...]

Comicon Part One
“Comicon,” roughly extrapolated means “The San Diego International Comic Book Convention,” which seems to be testing the limits of how much can be packed into a two-syllable word which isn’t technically even an abbreviation. That seems appropriate, however, because even though the convention center it’s held in is massive, it’s still hard to fathom just [...]

Work in Progress
tomorrow I leave to experience, for the first time ever, something I’ve longed to experience for probably at least seven years: The San Diego International Comic Convention! That’s comic books, not stand-up comics. It’s a huge event, and I’ve surprisingly only heard mostly good things about it. Apparetnly everyone who’s anyone in comics will be [...]

Hermanita
My sister Elizabeth came to visit me for a few days before heading to wintertime in New Zealand to study abroad for the semester. I really enjoyed hanging out and catching up with her, especially since we only get to see each other a few times a year these days. We did these things while [...]

D’land d’land d’land!!
Thanks to friends with free passes, I ventured to Disneyland today for the first time in years. We were only there half the day, but managed to hit all the big rides (Tower of Terror, Space Mountian, The Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountian, Pirates, Splash Mountian, Indiana Jones, I think that’s it?). Space Mountian had been [...]
