Part 2 behind the cut.

( I am ridiculous in my obsession. )

When Christina and I moved here from Niagara Falls on May 15, I decided to start keeping a list of the books I read, for several reasons that aren’t really important.  Now that 2008 is well and truly over, I thought I’d go back over the list and take a look at the books I read in the last seven months of 2008.  Be forewarned: I’m going to use this ( Read more... )

This kid makes me embarrassed for my people.  From now on, there will be no mention of comics from, to, about, or around me, you hear?  If this guy is into comics, then I'm anti-comics.

How about football?  Guys who like football are cool, right?  Oh, wait ...

The Sarah Palin paintings on this site make me shudder to think of what might happen ...

Life is pretty cool right now but I can't focus on any one factor long enough to write about it. Except maybe for going over to a friend's house last night for drinks and later having to pour a drunken wifey into bed. Then stay up waaaaay too late cleaning up her regurgitations. Oh how the tables turn ...

OK, so I've got this really bizarre idea for a story, but I need some help.  The idea hinges around famous principles, laws, theories, and beliefs whose common names all include possessive proper nouns, such as:

Chekhov's Gun
Pavlov's Dog
Schrodinger's Cat
Murphy's Law
Planck's Constant
Maxwell's Demon Ockham's Razor

Those are all the ones I can think of ( Read more... )

Josh
915-539-3218

Just updating my books-read-since-moving-to-El-Paso list.  Nothing to see here.

(I have so many graphic novels piled up in the closet that I haven't read, I'm thinking I might just alphabetize them all by title and start at the top.  It would take forever to reach the bottom but at least I'd know where to start.)

Matt Silady, the creator of the excellent graphic novel The Homeless Channel, is a professor at the California College of the Arts.  His class this fall focuses on comics and he's made public his reading list for the students.  All but two of his choices are on my " master list" but his list is much shorter, so maybe less intimidating for the ( Read more... )
