I give the majority of my drinks a pass because I prefer powerful cocktails served in small glasses, but beer is another matter. It's easy to knock back a lot of them, especially because the ABV is so low. I'd like to know how many calories that's worth and I'll just switch to water when I hit a ceiling.

Madam, if you shaved your ladyparts with a straight razor you deserve a medal, a cash prize and should become a circus contortionist.

Developing a TV series for ABC last I heard...although the trailer doesn't leave me thrilled.

I can only speak to my experiences, but when I've called 911 for violent disputes (fights, domestic disturbance, sexual assault) it took less than 3 minutes for cops to arrive on the scene. When I called to report my bike stolen (which involved breaking and entering into my apartment building), it took more than 20…

This is an aside, but "black" is a really subjective term. I've worked with a few very dark skinned Indian writers who consider themselves "black" or "black Indian."

And I wanted to say that I probably read some of the comics you penciled. My dad used to grab comics for me all the time, anything he thought I would like, and when I was getting into Star Trek he found some of those for me.

It's still hard. I don't want to say the entire industry is a boy's club because I've met some wonderful creators, but I've also worked for some people who are not necessarily biased against women, they're just definitely biased in favor of men. Some of my employers will see a guy's portfolio and, even if the work…

You didn't mention the US market though, you just compared Manga and "the Western style comic" in broad strokes. It's unfortunate that more European comics don't sell in the US. Les Humanoïdes Associés has had a number of deals at varying times with US publishers, most recently with Devil's Due, and they all fail. …

I would argue that they have. Archie is still being published and what's more it's thriving quite well. Because the company never bought into the direct market you can still find digests in grocery stores where most other comics have been relegated to the ghetto of specialty shops. You also see more romance stories…

Let's make a further distinction here and not say "western style comic books." Europe has a thriving and incredibly diverse as well as mainstream comic book industry. The culling of creativity to the extent that it neutered the industry is a American phenomenon, the generalizations you're making only apply to the…

7 weeks in he'd absolutely been taught how to do this. In fact, it was the second time he'd been tasked with the particular project. Every time he learned a new thing, he forgot an old one.

Let's share terrible intern stories!

For the perfect home they could still be removing crime scene tape and I would buy it. I can sand, stain and varnish the most offensive blood spatters and it will be an easy way to get rid of any superstitious persons who out-stay their welcome.

Bummer. I know of a couple classes and life-drawing sessions that allow you to bring your own booze or sometimes have a bar. I've no idea if they have a liquor licence (or if you even need them for this state). No harm in a old-fashioned Drink n' Draw.

I know a fair number of people who are into the show, about half of whom are men, and they don't tend to self-identify as bronies to the degree some of the people I've seen have. They own some toys, they watch the show, a few have been to bronycon to meet voice actors and have a nerd weekend. This is how the show…

My high school had a pretty easy dress code. No tank tops (this included wifebeaters on boys, sleeveless shirts were ok for everyone), bottoms must extend past fingertips when standing with your arms at your sides, clothing must cover mid-section and undergarments, no swear words, no drug paraphernalia. I still…

Seeing as Victoria's Secret has such a preposterously difficult time fitting women with typical bodies or sizing anything beyond the quite limited range of 32-38/A-D, I'm not surprised. It would be a sisyphean task for them to attempt fitting atypical bodies and I can only imagine the shudders of horror that crept up…

I've been using it for a couple years and I love it. I've had one middling-to-bad experience my first time and then half a dozen good ones after. It helps to be very critical of the profiles I see when I'm looking to room somewhere. The less personal information a host gives about themselves, the less likely I'll…

There were so many things to pick apart in F4. I would also prefer to see them as an established couple considering they've always been an established couple. Their courtship is not the point of the story, it's part of the background. We don't spend entire movies on Reed's degrees establishing "this is how be…

I'd rather they leave the romance out entirely. I'm hard pressed to think of movies were it doesn't detract from the overall story, hamstring the plot and leave you with a scene of Hero Must Save Victim Because LOVE.
