COMMENT: Dawson Ditches Speakeasy

After ending 2005 with a flurry of bad press, fledgling indie publisher, Speakeasy Comics, kicked off 2006 with the first of what was presumably going to be a string of big announcements which would reposition them as a player to be reckoned with in the industry: Rosario Dawson's Occult Crimes Taskforce (O.C.T.)"Rosario Dawson is an artist in the purest sense. She can act, sing, as well as write. She’s just an all around creative person. We are thrilled to collaborate with Rosario, David and Tony on this one of a kind project. The Rosario Dawson fans of the world are…

Farewell 2005

Don't let the door hit you... No, not really!It's been a year of extreme ups and downs (and the downs were particularly rough), but the end result has been relatively positive. For the most part. I'm too lazy to shoot from the hip like Salomé did, and I already covered the comics side of things over at CBC, so here's a meme to wrap things up here:1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?Dealt with an autistic child and the death of a close friend.2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make…

Brain Dump: Thanksgiving Edition

Turkey Day was as close to perfect as I could imagine; Salomé and the kids, a few friends, some good food, low-stress. Friday we hung out in Jersey, and Saturday and Sunday we chilled. Priceless!Five things I'm thankful for, in no particular order (except for the first one): 1) Salomé, Isaac and India: Without them, I'd be a leaf in the storm.2) Friends: Near and far, real and virtual.3) Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: For demonstrating on a weekly basis that there is still plenty of good left in this world.4) Comic Books: Because getting to the movies or reading a…
