Our First Pet
Isaac has figured out why we’ve been looking at houses the past month or two, and has now started making plans. He’s looking forward to “big boy school” which means five months of “When do I start big boy school?” At first he was into the idea of having his own room, but last night
"Backyards Are Overrated."
As someone who’s lived in both houses and apartments, played in both grass and brick-strewn empty lots, I agree. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want one! The house search took a big step forward yesterday as we went out for the first time since our mortgage was approved – my Army years finally paid
Adopt A Comic: Elk’s Run #1 UPDATE
Comics…you can’t give the damn things away! Seriously, though, entries for one of the two FREE copies of Elk’s Run #1 (sold out, BTW, for all you collector-types) have been less than overwhelming. And it’s not for lack of traffic because the original announcement itself has been viewed more than 100 times, not to mention
PSA: Comic Books, Porn Stars & Kids?
What do comic books and porn stars have in common? I mean, besides an overlapping fanbase of sexually frustrated momma’s boys? At the Big Apple Con last weekend, I had to do an about-face or two while strolling the aisles with my 4-year old son so as to avoid a scantily-clad “model” selling soft-core pictures
The Important Things
This guy I work with says, “I’ve really mellowed out the past month or so.” We’re preparing for a massive move over the weekend, almost everyone on my floor is shifting places, and he’s calming himself down as he tells me and a co-worker about the storage facility where we can send the overflow of
Meet the Cast
Hard to believe we’ll be married SEVEN years in July!!! I must’ve put up with some serious shit in a past life. And Salomé must’ve been pretty bad in hers. Mr. Incredible and Dash. I never said we weren’t enablers! I’m SO dreading the teenage years…

Because You Demanded It!
Well, a couple of you anyway. 🙂 So yes, like Jay-Z and the common cold, I’m back again (Shut up, Omar!) slipping in quietly, hopefully able to settle in comfortably before anybody notices. What can I say? At one point after signing off here a couple of months ago, I decided I’d start using my
Retro: Forgotten Realms #1-4
As an unashamed, born again player of Dungeons & Dungeons, I was excited by last month’s official announcement that Devil’s Due was on the verge of “acquir[ing] the license to the entire D&D® library.” While I’ve enjoyed some of the D&D-based novels TSR/Wizards of the Coast has published over the years, too many of them
ménage à trois: 3/30/05
[One Marvel, one DC, both published the previous Wednesday, plus a random indie from whenever I feel like it, each reviewed quickie-style: 1 Minute=bad, 10 Minutes=good. Connections, if any at all, may be forced purely for the experience.] On a comic book Wednesday dominated by DC’s creatively bankrupt death and resurrection tales in Countdown to
