For Father's Day, my family got me the book "Ironman, the Ultimate Guide to the Armored Superhero." They know me so well! In looking it over, I've made three observations ( Read more... )

 I was hunting through the DVD section of my warehouse sales the other day after I noticed one member had purchased the movie "Sideways" for only $4.99. One of my coworkers is always talking about this movie (which is apparently wine related so comes up fairly frequently when working in the liquor department) and I thought I should check it out at ( Read more... )

 I thought I would drop by the GenCon website to see how my events were faring. Here's how they look so far as pre-registration is concerned:

Sex, Lies and Ultraspies--8 tickets sold, no tickets left (this event selling out is not a big surprise given the provocative name and the extensive fan base that has been building at GenCon for about five ( Read more... )

 I've decided it's time to get back to posting to my livejournal. First, let me do a quick update on where I've been for the last 14 or so weeks.

I've been keeping busy lately, both in checking out DVDs and reading books.

I finally got around to watching Heroes Season 2. I've had it for a while, but the rumors were it was pretty bad, so I wasn't inspired to check it out until I got Heroes Season 3 for Christmas. The good news is that I don't think Season 2 was all that bad, and there were ( Read more... )

Since it's been a while since I've posted, I figured it might be okay to bore everyone with the minutae of my existence.

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted!

I've been working on my Sex, Lies and Ultraspies event for Con of the North in a couple of weeks. There's not too much in plotting, since I'm basically ripping off one of the major plots in my introductory adventure. It involves a war between vampires and werewolves, but in true '60s ultraspy fashion, ( Read more... )

Well, my obsession with James Bond is going into overdrive lately. I just picked up a Sean Connery DVD boxed set, which included "A Bridge Too Far", "Cuba", and "Never Say Never Again" (the "unofficial" James Bond movie which was NOT produced by Cubby Broccoli and allowed for strange copyright reasons involving the movie "Thunderball"). Considering ( Read more... )

Per threatening orders from that most demanding of Knomemasters, ajaxtalbot, I came up with my game plan for next year's conventions over this past weekend (the preregistration deadline for GenCon is probably closer than I imagine).

Of course, I will continue the triple threat of Sex, Lies and Ultraspies (Ministry Q, Submariners, and Racing Spies ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. For me, it involved a quick trip south to be with my wife's parents, and leaving the kids there so my wife and I could race back to work on Black Friday. Still, it's not so bad. In Black Fridays past, I was the retail drone going in to work at 4:30 am so that other idiots could get junk at about what it was ( Read more... )
