On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's my Batlogo tee. I loves it above all others. Junk Food is my One True Tee.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm still looking for a Daredevil shirt with Maleev art. The only one I can identify online isn't a great image. I could get the logo, but that's too easy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have to share this story (with permission). My ex, and still my good friend, Mike, the charming eccentric who collects bones and embalmed spiders and shrunken heads and vintage medical paraphernalia and such like, lives in NYC and was not long ago featured in Time Out New York's "Weird Apartments People Actually Live In" section. (That's not what it's really called.) Anyway, that's just the background. Here's the story.

"Apartment got robbed yesterday, they just took cash and medication from my bedroom, where they came in through the window with the AC in it. Police believe (and I must admit that I love this) that after they left the bedroom and turned the corner into the living room they got scared and left.

Best quote from the night from a policeman - "Sir, I'm here with the lights on, my partner, and a gun...and I'm freaked out by your apartment." "

Yes, it looked like that when I lived with him, too. Did I mention the life-size skeleton with the glass eyes? Good ol' Andrew was probably what sent the burglars running.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

With the exception of the embalmed spiders, it sounds like the sort of decor I'd love.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My brain just exploded. I don't even know what those are. I think we edit with a user interface over xml? I don't know. I know it doesn't work all that well. I just spent two hours pulling back half a page.

What editor are you using?

Jilli, you would! I never minded it; my only annoyance was that he had so much stuff, there wasn't much room for mine!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

See now, that needs to be a Castle episode.

This is why a friend and I would collaborate on fakes in college. I could do hard lines and solid colours, and she was the subtle colours chick over my lines. Technically we shouldn't have sold shirts, but we kinda did. She could probably fake you up a good Maleev.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Sir, I'm here with the lights on, my partner, and a gun...and I'm freaked out by your apartment."

Oh, that's the ultimate in validation for any goth.

No idea. It was built for us by a company called Documentum. It might be proprietary. I think they try to keep the editors away from anything too computer-y.
