Didn’t really feel like grabbing a new image since I’m feeling a bit lethargic, so have some Guardians of the Galaxy goodness instead. So yeah. TONS of comics. I remember the first couple of times I sort of swung by a comic book store on Free Comic Book Day, and picked up a Keenspot anthology… Continue reading Free Comic Book Day

A Complete Lack of Bawls
Busy day so far. Today’s Free Comic Book Day and holy crap are there a lot of free comics to be had. I’ve only managed to get through about ten of the thirty-odd offerings I plucked from the shelves of Cyborg One in Doylestown late this morning. Once I finish them all some time tomorrow… Continue reading A Complete Lack of Bawls
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Predator
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/predator.mp3] Monster movies. People just love monster movies. Back in the 30s, the monsters were mostly human in appearance, with Dracula and The Mummy setting the stage for what came after. The 50s saw the type of monsters growing into the more surreal, with The Creature From The Black Lagoon, Them! and It Came From… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Predator
A Confession Re: Frontalot
Okay. Here’s my nerd card. I’m turning it in. I was aware of MC Frontalot before last week. I knew there was something called ‘nerdcore hip hop’ but since I don’t, in general, listen to hip hop as a whole, I was only aware of it and its artists on the level of intellectual curiosity.… Continue reading A Confession Re: Frontalot

Twelve Fifty
1250 was rough. I’m not referring to the year, although the Naple’s Plague certainly wasn’t a picnic for everybody. Instead, last night I sat down and raised my per-day goal from 1000 words to 1250. Now, maybe it was because I spent the first hour or so after getting home installing Oblivion on the main… Continue reading Twelve Fifty
Thoughts on Blogging
Today’s one of those days where I just have to admit: “Yeah, I got nothin’.” I know there are some out there who believe that there’s no point in putting up a blog post if it’s not going to be about anything significant. I try to post every day, but I don’t operate under the… Continue reading Thoughts on Blogging
Game Review: Team Fortress 2
In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I never played the original Team Fortress (now dubbed Team Fortress Classic). I don’t know if I ever had enough friends who also played that could have helped me assemble a decent team. But the appeal of the idea was never lost on me, and… Continue reading Game Review: Team Fortress 2
Let's Talk Avengers
Iron Man 2 is right around the corner, promising more lead-ins for the upcoming Avengers titles and the eventual movie that’ll draw them all together. I know MovieBob has already discussed the subject, but here’s my brief and nerdy pair of cents on the subject. The Incredible Hulk Say what you like about Ang Lee’s… Continue reading Let's Talk Avengers
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Fifth Element
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/fifth_e.mp3] Originality is a rare commodity in movies these days. Adaptations, remakes and wholly derivative works clog the cinemas and jostle one another in cajoling you for your money. There was a time when an original spectacle didn’t have to count on a phrase like “You have to see it in 3-D to get the… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Fifth Element
