It Has All Happen Before, And It Will Happen Again

If you get the reference, you are my kind of person.

Backlash Revisited

After finally calming down and stepping off my soapbox I took another look at ASM 545.

Still hate it.

However, being the nice guy that I am I am going to give the "Brand New Day" storyline a chance. One chance, no more. Two months, six comics, and if what they give me doesn't hook me, I am gone. At least I have Ultimate Spider-Man to fall back on. Until Bendis jumps the shark for the third time.

It was also with some sadness that my comic shop is closing down. I didn't see it coming. It wasn't in decline or anything, but a tragic victim of mall real estate. A while ago Macy's bought Strawbridges and maintained two stores at the same time. Unfortunately, that was one too much and it was shut down. But the structure of the empty space demanded a department store of the same caliber and since not a lot of brands are expanding in this worrisome economy the mall management decided to tear it down. And as luck would have it my comic shop shares a wall with that dead space. In a further twist of the knife that same mall management would not guarantee another space so my shop goes bye-bye. I find it just a little weird that the first story line in twenty years I hate so much is followed by the closing of a shop I thought would be there forever. This leaves me with two life lessons:

1) Nothing lasts forever.
2) My hate is powerful enough to cause a butterfly effect (if you saw the movie, don't laugh) that effects the world. As a side note, I am not responsible for Pakistan (poor unlucky country).

Be Kind, Rewind

And I get to start classes again. *cough* Yeah, not too enthusiastic but it is all part of the grind. I'm just getting tired of everybody graduating ahead of me. That and the bar scene is rough.

Lost Returns

Lost is coming back on January 31. January 31. January 31. January 31 at 8 pm. This should make the wait for Battlestar Galactica a little less painful. I guess. Frack.
