Fun with Photobooth 4/7/07

In high school, my crazy friend Susan Smith's family owned an arcade downtown by the beach. It had one of the old fashion photo booths in it and we got to pump it full of free tokens whenever we felt like it. At one point, it was our daily meeting point both before and after spending the day roasting by the Pier (the picture I am including is the Pier- a strip of tourist shops, bars, and food stands that juts out over the ocean. I worked on it a few summers) or by the volleyball courts. I totally wish I had some of the strips of pictures we had taken- but during a bout of temporary insanity when I felt the need to free my life of clutter- I shitcanned anything that didn't fit in my car during a move hehehe. I don't even know where my diploma is at this point. The upswing of this is that once the Alzheimer's really sets in, I will have no evidence to provide nagging doubt hehehe!!

See you on Bunny day!! A

The Mouse That ROARED

Just woke up- 4/5/07

Not a yarmulke- my trusty sleep mask!!

This is totally my read of the week 4/4/07

When the wonderful Brian K. Vaughan announced he was leaving The Runaways- a book he kicked off 24 issues ago- I was not too stoked. The Runaways quickly became one of my favorite titles. I am not going to use this space to rain praise upon his crafting of a wholly unique read- although totally deserved, this is to trumpet the new era for this title.

Aside from mildly enjoying Firefly a few years back, I was pretty new to Joss Whedon until fairly recently. Over the past month or so, I have been immersing myself in his work. I have just finished my first viewing of Buffy/Season One. I am definitely looking forward to Netflix sending Season Two. I am also totally digging the Buffy comic that he is writing as "Season Eight" for the cancelled series. Issue 2 was released today as well, and I totally recommend that as well.

God- he soooooo gets these kids! Their voices are dead on. Their interaction and characterization are perfect extensions from Vaughan's work and vision. Screw last week's flashback episode- this is a perfect jump on for new readers. While not getting the nitty gritty of what has brought them to this point- you don't need to have read a single issue to be thoroughly entertained, engrossed, and hooked.

Favorite line (so far- I did just read it once before tossing my two cents): Kingpin "I dislike semantics." Chase "Well neither does Mel Gibson." HEHEHEHEHE

An idea from Will

My roommate Will has this great idea going- a picture a day- that he posts on his great blog: http://mulekick.livejournal.com/

Definitely check out his blog! So here is my pic from yesterday, and I will follow up with another from today! Hopefully I can sustain that momentum hehehe!
