Save the world: eat more calamari.
Update 1243 hrs: Kevan points out that this story is over two years old, for those of you who don’t keep up with my LJ feed. I should really get around to updating this theme so I can have comments from people who don’t have Livejournals. I mean, wait! I’ll never have comments! Comments are bad! Crap.
If you liked Watchmedance, you’ll urinate for Prangstgrüp.
I have this vision of what I want to do with my life, but it’s still pretty blurry. So even though I’m impressed and fascinated, I’m also jealous that Brian Provinciano has something like the same vision, just much, much clearer.
Neat things!
- JEDI COPS! I’d join this if I had any writing resources left. Maybe you should join, and tell me how it goes. The diceless RPG system they use, called the Karmic Cycle, sounds suspiciously like the luck-based system Ben came up with for Cosmos, last year.
- Stephen has started a pending lawsuit. Oh, I meant “advice column.”
- It’s unfortunate that the comic is apparently updated about as often as Xorph, but Pihakwa is so pretty I want to buy it, all of it, or somehow mark it with my scent. The gallery is sweet, too.
So far I haven’t used, and don’t plan on using, the Kleimo Random Name Generator for Anacrusis. I much prefer being able to come up with my own names for every character (at least two hundred by now, I think). But man, it’s tempting.
Wow. I guess I assumed it was dead and irrelevant, but still, how in the world did I miss the publication of the Real Ultimate Power book?
Here’s some things.
Thing One I never write about my life in here anymore, because I’m increasingly disconnected from school (a drive-through with occasional stressfalls) and work (a drive-through). Of the interesting things I do in my free time, everybody who’s interested in them is, well, already there (see Blognomic, Anacrusis and Tuesday now Thursday Night Basketball).
Thing Two But there is something I need to write about my life, which is that last Tuesday, Maria and I accompanied her mother on a trip to Sam’s Club. While hungry.
Never do this.
You can pretty much guess the results. We got all American on that place, and will never be able to eat everything we bought before it spoils. Anybody need, oh, an acre of croissants or two stone of grated parmesan? Come on over! We ran out of cabinet room!
Thing C I can’t figure out if I like Buttercup Festival or not, but it’s hard to resist a Sharpie-drawn strip that features Space Björk and mouth harp-loving frogs.
Thing F I have succumbed to clickolinko.
Thing Last Ergo, PUPPY!
So Modern Humor Authority posted a second issue, which I guess means they really do intend to have a web presence. It’s still weird to me to think that Kris Straub didn’t invent MHA and its frontman–or rather, that they’re based on a real human and his magazine, instead of Scott McCloud and his ouevre. But that’s the way it is.
MHA itself is pretty obviously ripe for ridicule (read the AppleGeeks review and see for yourself), but they seem to tolerate it well, since they knew about the Checkerboard Nightmare parody and still stayed in contact with Kris. That’s the impression I got, anyway. It kind of makes me want to put together some kind of parody ezine, like a massive satire of all review publications, but I don’t know. That kind of thing is getting a little played out.
