Random Thoughts
Just like the title suggests, there will be absolutely no cohesion or coherence (are they one and the same?) to this entry. There'll be no segues either so you will be getting a brief look into the synaptic misfires that account for 90% of my total thought output.
I'm not a huge American Idol fan. In fact, other than Survivor, there isn't a show that I must watch every week. I spend a lot of my TV time watching reruns--Simpsons, Seinfeld, BTAS. I did get season one of Battlestar Galactica so that might be one I start checking out if I like it. Oh, and Doctor Who. If you don't watch that show, you've got to start. Now, all of that being said, even I, the epitome of the casual viewer, was surprised that Chris Doughtry (is that spelled right?) was voted off. I think he had the most Idol potential of all that was left.
Speaking of Survivor, I don't have anything against Aras, but is there anyone that doesn't think Terri should have won. Other than maybe slighting Dan a little, he played the game with the honesty and integrity that everyone throws around when facing the jury and no one has dominated challenges more. My string of having the person I want to win actually win stops at two seasons.
I believe that I'm going to HeroCon in North Carolina this June. Not as a guest, sadly not yet, but as a rabid fan that will approach his heroes like Warren Ellis and try to act nonchalant and cool only to come off totally inane and geeky. I'm hopefully going to meet Roger there (artist of Off the Grid) and we can shoot the bull. I'm going to read up on my networking notes and how to not to present submissions at cons.
Thanks to Brian K. Vaughn's Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/briankvaughan), I found this little tidbit (http://comiccreatorservices.blogspot.com/) a resource for beginning and up and coming comic book creators. I've not had the chance to check it all out it but you can rest assured that I will.
Baby Tera is doing great. She's gained 2 inches and weighs a whopping ten pounds now and can eat a little cereal from a spoon. Some would say that that's too soon to introduce cereal but she was still hungry after 4 ounces of milk and she sleeps like a log now at night. Yay!
