I've gotten yet another person hooked on Firefly, and his comment was "Jayne Cobb and Titus Pullo should open a bar together."
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Black Hole is great. Loved it a lot. When did Epileptic come out? It is also brilliant. Y is best though!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Has anyone read Chew ? The first trade comes out tomorrow and I'm going to pick it up. A co-worker recommended it to me, and it sounds pretty interesting and entertaining.

True Stories of the 'Core Marvel Universe':
In the Marvel Universe, Thor -- the literal Norse god of Thunder -- was turned into a frog for three issues, including one where his magic hammer turned him into a 6'6" frog-man (er, frog-god), which had the side effect of chipping his hammer so that another frog (who had once been a man before he was cursed by a fortune-teller) could turn into a normal-sized frog-god, which came in handy when he had to team up with a teleporting dog and a sabretooth tiger to get magic gems back from an alien from Jupiter's moon who was in love with the living embodiment of Death.

Well, yeah, but that was a great Walt Simonson story.

I have no idea why comics got such a bad rap.

I picked up the first Chew trade, and it's good stuff. I recommend it.

Did y'all see this Marvel vs. castration anxiety article?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I buy some of that. But reading into Green Goblin's continued depiction as hermaphroditic because his lower half is obscured by a female form? That's just working at it.

Yeah, but the "get me my coffee" scene was obnoxious.
