Hey.
Just learned that my column in CBG is a go from spotting it on the stands. Whoops. Starting this issue, I will have a monthly column in the Comic Buyer's Guide about manga...
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Yay, CaBil!!! What, they figure if they don't tell you they don't have to pay you? They'll just keep saying, "Dude, how about another sample piece?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I want to go to Target and buy a scarf. What is up with this? First blue fingernail polish, and now new scarf urges? Am I finally becoming a girl?

Congratulations, CaBil!

Cold neck, perhaps? I really wanted a scarf this morning. Not badly enough to climb back up to the third floor to get it, but still, kind of a lot.

Naw, they just said it might start this month, or next month, or if something else happens the month after. I wasn't exactly getting a lot of feedback, so I just figured I would write them, and if they started later than what they said, I would have some columns in the can, and in the worse case I would have something to add to my portfolio...

See, I have a scarf, but it's not quite long enough. But why would I possibly need two scarves? In Texas?
I think it's something about Target, actually. That place makes me want to spend money on all sorts of things I don't need. I walk in there, and I have visions of organizing my entire life.

"Why are you selling the sign?" I am a producer/entrepreneur, and I am simply too busy with my other projects to work on the sign. It has been an amazing experience.
Translation: I thought this would be a huge moneymaker, but now I realize that having many giant pieces of metal is simply a pain in the ass.

Isn't there a casino in Vegas that would be interested in this thing?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Olympic weightlifter Naim Suleymanoglu (4 feet 11 inches)
This guy's nickname is "Pocket Hercules." No, I did not make that up.
The tallest “short dude”? Pro football player Doug Flutie, at 5 feet 10 inches, who is ranked at No. 24.
This, however, I am pretty sure is made up. Flutie is actually shorter than that. Proportionally, 5'10" is kinda short for a football player, but he was considered short in 1984, in college, surrounded by players who went on to become accountants.
