Well, hello. How have you been?
Look how run-down this old blog is. When was the last time someone dusted around here? Or cut the grass? Is that an old moldy sandwich over there? gross.
Have ever told you about the time I saw Chris Merritt?
I haven’t? Well, I have, but let me tell you a little more: I had never heard of Chris Merritt before I went to one of his shows instead of roller skating like 10 sec before I graduated from college. I went because all my guy friends were going, and he came highly recommended by...

Speaking of UP…
Lou Romano, who did some of the development and early production elements of UP, has a great post about the design process for the film, including early lighting tests, sketches, and scene mock-ups. Amazing! (Check out the site for some great scans/photos of all of the artwork. Amazing!)
To the Cinema! : UP
I can’t write anything here that hasn’t already been said by people much more qualified, but this movie was AMAZING! My sister and I watched in in DIGITAL 3D (which is actually pretty freakin’ amazing in itself, bTW), over the weekend. We got the glasses. I had some twizzlers. And cried pretty much through this...
10 Super Cool Ampersand Gifts

The ampersand is this graphic symbol that has turned into a kind...
Monsters by Mail : The Supervillain
I haven’t been this jealous of someone in a long time. Here’s a video of Len Peralta illustrating the world’s more super of villains. I know this video is in double-time, but come on!

Must-stache

And for this, I apologize. But please, take this token of briefly funny mustache humor as a token...
