Thank you NBC. You've made my dreams finally come true. And given me faith that The Office'll be around to wear out it's welcome, see Steve Carrell replaced by Ed Helms, and do a musical episode guest starring Barbara Streisand. Or whatever else they can do to ruin the show.

Number one, Word Balloon is THE quintessential Comics Podcast right now. It involves the very talented John Siuntres doing in depth interviews with various comic personalities (I've bee on the show, you can listen here.) John manages to be insightful, knowledgable, and best of all, has an incredible radio voice. You actually want to listen to him talk, which is a rarity among podcasts these days. Secondly, you've got my buddy, my pal, Saul Colt being interviewed for around an hour where he... well... he tells the truth. He talks about what's wrong with the industry, what's wrong with his comics, what's wrong with his publishing plans... It's remarkably educational, and I talk with him every other day and already know all of his stories.
Anyways, go, listen, learn, and enjoy.

I received that while doing the final proof on the lettering script for Elk's Run #8. The tone was... remarkably appropriate.
Found over at Brian Reed's SAVAGE BREAKFAST... Originally from here
In Waynesville, a small county seat in the mountains of western North Carolina, people whispered about the three older men who lived together south of town.They were lovers, and there were rumors that the trio had turned a room in their house into a dungeon where they filmed sadomasochistic sex scenes — and then posted them on the Internet.
Someone asked the local sheriff to investigate the men, but his officers determined their activities, although unorthodox, were perfectly legal.
Last month, however, the men were arrested on charges that shocked the community.
Authorities say they performed castrations and other types of genital surgeries on at least six people. Detectives searching the home found bloody scalpels, syringes, and prosthetic testicles in a room the men referred to as “the dungeon.”
Officers confiscated a video camera apparently used to record the procedures, as well as scores of CDs and computer files. They also seized a Tupperware container from the kitchen freezer holding what appeared to be human testicles.
Tacky joke title by me.

After a couple more hours of dicking around, I think the site's all set now. Let me know if anything's wrong or not working or causing you to hemmoraghe out your nose.
Originally uploaded by Joshua Hale Fialkov. My Tivo's Conspiracy Wishlist taped Alien Nation for us. I have pretty fond memories of both the movie and the series. There's some great stuff in there (the drunk Newcomers in the milk bar, the knee to the balls, etc.) but overall it just feels... empty. It has the tone and depth of a Schwarzenegger film, which is fine, except that it deals with big (and interesting) issues.
And James Caan is suprisingly bad in it... he does this sort of whiney complainer type thing that belies the character. Maybe it's having recently watched his powerhouse performance in Misery (which gets more or less ignored for the more obvious Kathy Bates performance), but, it's not Caan at his best.
Mandy Patinkin on the other hand....
Wal-Mart's dirty secret is out The Dubai Ports World battle has trumpeted the gaping holes in our seaports' security systems, but few ask: Why are U.S. ports so poorly protected nearly five years after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001? Why has the government spent just $630 million -- less than 4 percent of the $18 billion-plus we have spent since 9/11 on airport security -- to make ports safer?
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said it best: "(While we) talk about having strong homeland security, checking 100 percent of cargo containers. In the end, our commercial interests get ahead of us."
Those commercial interests are led by the world's largest retailer and the United States' biggest importer, Wal-Mart. Hunter let slip what is surely Wal-Mart's dirtiest secret: The company, through its Washington, D.C., lobbyist, the Retail Industry Leaders Association, has time and again since 9/11 opposed new port and supply-chain security rules that might cut into Wal-Mart's record profits. Its mantra is: "Security requirements should not become a barrier to trade."

I have these arguements with my boss all the time. He's a staunch Republican, and is pro-national security while also being pro-Bush and pro-corporation, and when I show him stuff like this... I actually don't know what he'll say.
He's probably reading this right now. At least now he has a few minutes before I come in to prepare.
I've been MIA because this weeks been apeshit insane. I did a quick update over at Creator Direct about what all I'm working on currently, and I didn't add that I'm also powering through hours of day job, and contracty type stuff during most of the days. Oh, and the very specific bus line that Dina takes to work and school is on strike, so I get to spend a couple hours a day racing around town trying to get from here to there in order to get where I need to be and get her where she needs to be. And to top it all off, I had to suffer through American Idol positively butchering Queen. They deserve to be punished severely for their sins.
Have some design work to do, but all the code etc. seems to be intact. Post in the comments if anybody sees anything that doesn't seem to be working.

Hey Gang, in case you didn't notice, I picked up from Blogger and moved over to Word Press. Should have it straightened out in a week or two, cause, damn am I slow at coding and tremendously busy these days.
Over the past two years alone, the research topics I've had for various writing projects include:
So, for all you FBI guys, please understand, I JUST HAVE POOR TASTE IN SUBJECT MATTER.
Thank you.
And due to my laziness, and their kindness, Benito Cereno and Scott Keating probably have files now too. Sorry guys.

And he said a little something... like this:
The thing is apeballs. I've never read a comic quite this nuts; Josh is writing a series of characters that read like brain spasms, a series that seems to be aiming more to send electricity up the spine than anything else.
Read the rest, and of course the stellar blog of Mr. Comics himself, here.

I forgot to mention this (or mentioned it and forgot, one of the two). Anyways, Kody Chamberlain (of ye olde Punks fame) started Creator Direct, a blog featuring a bunch of us young creator types. It's lots of fun and info, though still in its embryonic stages, go and check it out.
