Paid in full!
Yesterday, at approx. 6:15pm, I handed over a cashier’s check and was handed back a receipt acknowledging our final debt — a CitiFinancial loan we took out two years ago to consolidate debt when we were ready to buy a house — was paid in full. The car’s paid for; our credit cards have zero balances; we’re

Five Year Plan
Technically, next Friday is my last day at the company I’ve worked at the past four years and a month but psychologically, it’s over as of today, and a bunch of us are going out tonight after work to celebrate. I’ve had one beer each night this week to build my tolerance back up since I haven’t
Vote Different (Yes, I lied!)
It’s way too soon to pick a side in the Democratic Primaries, and though he still doesn’t have a shot in hell, I’m not yet ready to abandon Dennis Kucinich in favor of this go-round’s version of Howard Dean, Barack Obama.

Do I Make You Proud — Taylor Hicks— His debut album may have “bombed” but he’s still my second-favorite Idol, behind Kelly Clarkson, and I’d catch him in concert any
5 word challenge: A new beginning
The need to express oneself in such a public manner is a peculiar trait, indeed. With comics taking up much of my blogging energy the past couple of years — not to mention my free writing time, generally speaking — my personal blog faded into the background, to the point where any new passion or outrage was
CBC On the Move
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve gotten a clearer vision of what I want to do with this site and where it fits in the bigger picture of my own writing, and now that I can see it, I’m ready to move towards it. Quickly! First things first, the “Comic Book Commentary” blog will
The Death of Captain America
No spoiler warning necessary at this point when it’s now the featured story on Yahoo’s main page! It was “spoiled” for me on the way to work today thanks to a page 3 article in the Daily News, “Captain America killed!“. Even Marvel has now revealed it on their web site, after teasing it with
On the Shelves: 3/7/07

The full shipping list, as always, is available at ComicList. [NOTE: Not all of these titles will actually arrive in all stores. If your LCBS offers a
