A tough call.

I thought about not posting at all today, just taking the day for myself and never explaining it. Last night at work I wrote something on my break, then spent all night debating posting it or not. When I started writing the blog a friend asked when I was going to get to writing about this, I told him I started a blog not a livejournal. I'm going to put it up anyways, and after you've read it I'd like the office to myself, Happy Halloween...

If life had gone to plan today would have been a very special day. Because of that I'm taking the day for myself, but first I wanted to share something with you, a song.



The first time I heard this song it made me decide I had to increase my efforts to find common ground with someone I had been drifting away from. She had liked the earlier albums from the same artist so I decided to start there. The day I tried I noticed that when I looked into her eyes all I could see was the distance that I had been pretending I hadn't seen growing between us for what turned out to be far too long. Things ended between us soon afterwards and from then on that moment was all I could think about when I heard that song.

Last night, of all nights, when I got to work I found out that my supervisor was spending her night building the first of the Christmas displays.(That makes more sense if you know the girl I'm writing about.) All I could do was laugh, I was in for a very long day it seemed. I started up a playlist I hadn't listened to in a long time because it the song in question was near it's end and got to work. A few hours later, the song started and for the first time in I'm not sure how long I thought about a snowy night in November.

That beautiful moment when you stopped fuming about the phone call you had just finished, smiled that wonderful smile, and I caught my first glimpse of the future we would talk about building together in your eyes.

I know you're never going to read this, but, I'm sorry I forgot, and I hope you're happy.

COMICS!!!!

Now, I know what your first thought is going to be, "Fuck, he found a way to mix the two, we've lost him." but you're wrong. This week I'm gonna tell you about World Of Warcraft: Volume 1, by Walt Simonson and Ludo Lullabi(Who has no wiki to call his own.).

The story follows a trio of gladiators, a Human, a Blood Elf, and a Night Elf, as they fight for their lives, their freedom, and to reconcile their pasts. I enjoyed the ever-loving hell out of this story, so did the lady reading it over my shoulder on the streetcar, if you're looking for something to read pick this up... and long live King Varian!

It's zombie-tastic!

So, I spent my whole weekend running from zone to zone fighting the Scourge pouring out of the Necropolis overhead. When I wasn't fighting at the necropoli I was trying to pull Lowbies out of towns overrun with Zombies. Kinda like This, but less funny.

Here's a song from over at OCReMix, and as always, if you like it there are torrents available for nearly all the content of the site, save them some bandwidth if you can.

ZOMBIES!

I'm gonna let This take the blame for the latest slump in posting, yeah, it was all this. The zombies are here! Grab a Blade, band together, fight the living dead!

See you Monday, I swear I'll get right back on posting and count Wednesday as another miss.

November 13 will mean I'm busy for weeks...

Don't worry, I won't forget you.

I'll Just Be Doing Something Else.

Come on, come back, it was a joke.

-James

A great tide of filth.

I'd like to start this tide by saying "Oh my god! There's a Treehugger.com!" Senseable adults discuss Overdrinking and life in the Future.

Cutting this week short, here's your last link for the week,There Will Be Brawl, enjoy.

Big Damn Superhero Fight!

This weeks Big Damn Superhero Fight is The New X-Men V.S. Nimrod.

This was one of the team's last "Big Damn Fights" and a few story lines later they were disbanded.

It has the things that a "Big Damn Fight" requires:

Property damage? check, the fight starts with a jet crashing and ends with a building being demolished.

Body count? Almost, four members of the team are nearly killed over the course of the fight.

If this sounds like your kind of mayhem pick up New X-Men issues #28-32 or find them collected as Childhoods End: Part 3.

Morals and Zombies: The closer.

After getting all dressed up and doing her makeup, she had fallen asleep waiting in bed for him to get back. All in all, he was surprised to find her there, and was already panicking quite loudly when he woke her up.

The Fangirl is sitting up in bed, while Johnny is in the doorway, screaming.

All the noise had attracted the neighbors, and the lady at the hotel check in desk... and the police. Johnny hardly even noticed them, he was too busy curled up in the corner screaming, "You're dead! You died! I killed you!" and crying over the poor dead fangirl he'd brained with the old rotary phone when she'd scared him.

Johnny is sitting in bed clutching a rotary phone, hints of gore and dead Fangirl creep in on the periphery.

The police took Johnny away, the judge wasn't very understanding, it seems that "devil music" had been the end of his own little girl. Johnny was put away, he's now recording his tenth studio album... from jail.

Johnny is sitting on a wooden stool, a microphone hanging overhead. Iron bars sit in the foreground.

The End.

Late again already!?

Sorry, last night I got sucked into a Heroic Crypts, and everything went wrong. The Tank couldn't go two fights without getting Mind Controled and then the Arms Warrior wouldn't stop hitting him long enough for me to Stunlock him before he killed us all... I was not impressed.

So, this week since I didn't get out to pick up my books I'm going to tell you about Spider-Man: Blue by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.

Spider-Man: Blue is written as a tape recorded letter from Peter Parker to Gwen Stacy. The story retells the events of how they met, as well as how Peter met Mary Jane Watson, became friends with Harry Osborn, and how Peter and Gwen fell in love.

The book is a personal favorite and I'd suggest it to anyone looking for something to read.

I'll be back tomorrow with your usual Friday post and a second comic post, I figure if I start to run out of steam for ideas later it'll be a little easier if I can at least do two different types of posts on a given day.

The tally.

So, I owe you twelve posts starting with a comic post, I'll be starting Wednesday and coming up with something to throw in as a second, related, post each day until I'm caught up.

Since this is a Monday post and should be a tide of filth I'm throwing you a funny little link but still counting this one as a miss.

Behold, The Monkeysphere.

-James

I'm not dead!

I'll be popping in with a tally on the missed posts Monday night, time to get back to work.

Here's a cookie.
