These Are a Few of My Favorite Tweets
I do so love seeing tweets on Twitter where people are SO much better than all of us and prove it constantly. Here are basic examples of tweets from their feed:
I’m tweeting that a TV show or film isn’t funny or good. And suggesting that if you think so then you are stupid. Because I’m better than you.
I’m tweeting something political. If you don’t agree with me...
GIF at Thee!!!
I saw this animated GIF of Thor on a couple of websites and thought I’d share. Fantastic work from a Mr. Carlos Lerms. Go check his other stuff out.
Let's Be Friends Again: A Web Comic That Rocks
I know this one has been around for awhile and I’ve checked it out once before. But I decided to sit down and go through the entire catalog of the web comic, Let’s Be Friends Again. And boy am I glad because it’s really funny stuff! It’s written by Curt Franklin and drawn by Chris Haley. It’s a web comic about…comics! They take on any and all comic books, comic...
Cleaning Out the Facebook Messages
Facebook has given a new look to their “messages” section and even is trying to encourage people to have their own Facebook email. Whatevs. I gots enough! But, I started deleting all of these old messages that I didn’t even realize where there any more. Things I learned:
Some friends are no longer on Facebook.
Some have dropped me or vice/versa.
I had almost forgotten about...
Dear Friends: I've Done Stuff!
This is a post for friends of mine. As many of you know, I was involved in the acting world for many years. I’ve been out of it for awhile though still dip my toes in the pool on occasion. I have many friends still involved in the game and even though I’ve expressed interest in possibly getting back into it, I feel many of them either don’t take me seriously or don’t...
He's Brian Blessed, Bitch!
You know Brian Blessed. Classically trained actor. Well known for many, many roles in film, TV and theater. I love him best as “Prince Vultan” in the camp classic Flash Gordon. Great, resounding voice and just commands your presence. I was out with a friend the other night and we were talking Flash Gordon which led to discussing Brian Blessed.
He’s pretty funny too as...

Baby's First BookExpo America
I attended my first BookExpo America today held at the Javits Center in NYC. I never applied for press as it’s a book show but friends have said that some comic book publishers attend each year. First impression is that it’s really well organized. So much nicer that New York Comic Con (NYCC) and the atmosphere is lively. Everyone is well dressed too! Far different from the sweaty...
The Walking Dead Board Game
Someone better buy me this when it comes out this summer. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just get $39.99 because that’s how much it will set you back.
How They Could Have Saved the Wonder Woman TV Show
As most know by now, the super-hyped Wonder Woman TV show was NOT picked up. Fan outrage started with the release of the original costume for the show as seen below.
They changed their story after and said she would have a few different outfits. Darker pants and the red boots helped a bit.
But, they just released a photo of Adrianne in a spot on from the comic book costume. Star spangled hot...
The CDC Believes in Zombies!
I saw this early in the week when the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) posted it. (I have “zombies” as a google alert. Go figure). But just think it’s awesome and funny and ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO KNOW WHEN THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS! Screw that rapture, stuff. Zombies are how the world will end! So here we go. The official CDC zombie prep kit. Please go to the CDC site for more...

Natalie Dormer: Tudorlicious!
I’ve been catching up on watching The Tudors. I just finished season 2. Sure, Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Henry is the focus and is excellent. Future Superman Henry Cavill is pretty awesome as Charles Brandon as well. But the standout for me is Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn. She’s just fantastic! So engaging to watch. And yes, I know the fate of the character she portrays (and they...
How to Sound Like a Feminine Product
I always love getting good feedback about my podcast, COMIC NEWS INSIDER. In this week’s episode, the awesome Grace Helbig co-hosted. She “reblogged” my post on tumblr and got a few notes. Most everyone “liking” or “reblogging” it. Here’s my favorite comment though.

Almighty Thor!
I’m watching the SyFy original movie Almighty Thor. It’s so bad but I can’t stop watching it. Richard Grieco, (whom I loved on 21 Jump Street, Booker & still think his first film If Looks Could Kill was a fun ride), is just deliciously awful as Loki. Not even trying to put on a voice or accent. Every time he says “hammer”, it’s with his own New York accent...
iJimmy Likes iCarly
I’m admitting it. I like iCarly. Hold up! Before you call me creepy, allow me to explain! When I was at my sister’s place for Christmas, they had Nickelodeon playing on a loop. My little (now 3 years old) nephew knew all of the shows and the names of everyone. iCarly was on and I gotta say, it was pretty funny. My sis and brother-in-law (being parents) knew it pretty well as they...
Ir-Regulars
I’ve worked in bars and restaurants off and on for years. (Mostly on for the past 10+). You have “regulars”. You know, the people who come in often. Over the years, I’ve had several at various places I’ve worked at and many have become friends. Some don’t want that. They come to their favorite spot, enjoy the attention and that’s it. That’s cool too....
Fried Samoas?!!!
You know how I just had a fried Oreo the other day? Well, my friend Gretchen and I were talking about other things we wish we could fry. And we both have mad love for Girl Scout cookies. Samoas being our favorite.
Gretch is tenacious when it comes to seeking out the goodies and she found this article which talks about a deep fried samoa for a limited time here in NYC!
“If you enjoy the...
Fried Oreos
I had a fried oreo yesterday. In my mouth. And it was delicious! Now I want more. In my mouth. Someone remedy that.

Attn: Bristol Expo Attendee Drinkers!
Go say “Hi” to my girl Milena at the Ramada bar this weekend when you’re getting your drink on. She just sent me a message that she’s very upset that she wont be serving me this year. :)
Bristol Blues
I also wish I just had a proper English breakfast and was soon heading off to Bristol Comic Expo so I can talk comics, see friends and drink.
Are you sensing a theme?
Toronto Blues
I wish I was still in Toronto eating poutine, hanging with comic peeps and drinking. Anyone want to come get me?

Smile! Or Apparently You're a Jerk.
Unless you are about to take a picture of someone, DON’T tell them to smile. It’s rude and annoying. I had someone do that to me last night. Just because I’m not conforming to what YOU think is the proper way to look, doesn’t mean I’m not happy. I’m just thinking about something or concentrating. I told the idiot that said it to me, “don’t tell...
