I'm giving props to Abby, who stars in this comic since this is a compilation of most of our conversations. I'm particularly proud of this comic since I've crammed in as much reference as possible. It has been a past week of sadness really in the passing of MJ, Farrah Fawcett, Ed Mcmahon, and Billy Mays. More powerful forces command us...ok that was really tasteless...but so am I (enjoy my random inspiration on the right, we will miss you Billy Mays; sound equalizers and unclean clothes alike).
I also didn't realize that the Head On reference was lost on many people I know. I didn't know this was a regional commercial so I shall enlighten you all.
yes you need to know ALL OF THIS BACKGROUND STORY. This is MY CHILDHOOD! I have a headache just trying to find this for you all.
If you can't tell I did not go to anime expo this year, first time in like 5 years that I didn't run home to see people in cosplay dress and partake in it myself. I'm somewhat sad and somewhat happy that I was able to stay put this year and enjoy the fireworks in one of the few cities that had it.
First off, there is a good vampire movie coming out, based on the anime Blood, the Last Vampire. I'm going to have to say I'm excited because it will actually be actiony and more blood than possible thanks to the title and the way the series works. BriTANick showed their short film at UCB which was pretty freaking amazing. I had a good laugh. I've discovered 8bitdaily for new music for my tedious job madness. This week is the passing of the Pride Parade in NYC
which was all in good fun and finally in time for good weather. I recently saw UP and Mike and I wept. Yes me and the person who essentially skies down a mountain of dead babies wept during the first 20 min of a pixar movie. I also saw drag me to hell, which calls back to Sam Raimi's Evil Dead days. I heard Ellen Page was supposed to play the lead in this but something kept her from it. I think she would have pulled of the transition from sad puppy face to righteous bitch a bit better since I was left feeling a bit apathetic to the main character in the end.
Well that's all I've got, happy America's Birthday to you all. I do of course leave you with some youtubes.
