Saturday – 11 August 2007
So far, it’s been a good day. Blue skies. High clouds. Temps in the upper 90s.

The day started with me hanging out with Perry and Max. Coffee. Cinnamon rolls. Dolls. Mini-figures. We hung out and chatted/geeked out for a couple hours; as Max started getting a bit restless, I remembered that I had my GameBoy in my backpack and further cemented my role as “best adopted uncle ever.”

After they headed home, I put in a few hours with pencil and paper. I finished off She Talks to Angels. I’m happy with the way it turned out. I also decided on a couple of changes to Ed’s Song. And, I’m now toying with the idea of redoing 8:45 as a drawing; I would probably use the same basic “content” that I did in the Poser/Bryce one, more or less. Or maybe not. We’ll see…

Stray Toasters

  • I’m still craving chocolate milk like a fiend.
  • Report: Gamers largely clueless about next-gen console media capabilities.
  • Slowly, but surely, I’m making my way towards the end of Deathly Hallows.
  • WizKids is starting to release images and info for the upcoming Justice League set.
    • Is it just me or does this figure scream, “Hey, look! I have a crotch! Wanna see it?!
  • This is Ethan van Sciver, probably best know as the artist behind Green Lantern: Rebirth and Green Lantern Corps: Recharge and Sinestro Corps Special #1. This image, taken at Wizard World Chicago (a great-huge comic convention), amuses me greatly on many levels:
    • Ethan is LDS (That’s “Mormon,” for those of you outside the Zion Curtain).
    • His t-shirt says: “I’ve tried polygamy!” (That in itself is amusing enough.)
    • The shirt – and slogan – are for Wasatch Brewery’s Polygamy Porter.

    • Whether or not Ethan has actually sampled the beverage (which is unlikely, given his religious beliefs…) I don’t know, but I admire and applaud his sense of humor.

  • For Acolyte Derek: Stephen Colbert portrait in 768 mini Rubik’s Cubes
  • U.S. Gov’t plans changes in air passenger screening
  • LIEFELD!
  • Coworker Tommy shall henceforth be referred to as “Code Monkey Build Bitch” or “Code Monkey BB.” Thus it is written, thus shall it be!
    Code Monkey BB sent me the following message yesterday, it amused the geek/gamer in me:

    [16:11] Tommy: graffiti seen (among many others) on the granite walls of a pit-fall
    [16:11] Tommy: In Dwarven: “Durembar Ironshanks was here and killed more orcs than he could count.”
    [16:11] Tommy: In Elven (below the preceding): “That means eleven.”

  • Tyranist: At least it’s not a “space maggot.”
  • The Great Data Migration proceeds apace.
  • So… is this guy the new Phoenix?
    If so, does Jean know? Cause we all know that Scotty Doesn’t Know.
  • Damn you, Tyranist. *shakes fist*
  • Wow… they’re recruiting ’em young these days.

Time to go save the world. Or something.

Namaste.
