I think my computer is gonna die in the next few weeks. Which would suck because I can't afford a new one or even a used one and don't have access to any secure backup methods.

So that's where that line about "above my pay grade" comes from. I had no idea the federal system was so limiting. You're never going to go to private sector though are you?

Booster Gold is one of my all-time favorite heroes and serves as an influence on my won superhero storytelling. I was so busy telling him about how much my friend loves him that I completely forgot about my own feelings.

Do not stop telling that story until after you've read the book. Even if the review can't quite materialize. I'm fully invested now.

Also solidarity upvoting for your dad.

How was Miss Peregrine's? And I'm so behind on Gotham. Is it still fun at least?

Yeah it would've been super hard to get up there. But I'm currently in Hamline-Midway so I could walk there if I wanted.

What's this other series idea?

I haven't come across him since I bought all those Hellboys off of him in Eagan. I miss the guy!

Went to FallCon last weekend. It was pretty fun but also kind of boring in a way? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do at trade shows unless you have a lot of disposable cash. I did however get a comic signed by Dan Jurgens. He's one of my friend/collaborator's favorite creators. He's SO nice. He gave me the…

io9 was my jam when it felt like a great & nuanced intersectional feminist sci-fi/futurist site with just enough other things to be my go-to destination. Right now it just seems like a lesser shade of geek blog with a mild social conscience. There's still some things that pull my attention, but almost nothing in the…

I definitely shall!

I've been on OKC for a decade and never had a date materialize from there. Heck, one time a girl used me to get a date with someone else that I knew. OKC has been rough.

Hope this whole Elvira thing works out for you. I actually feel like chipping in for a copy for you if things prove to be too much more difficult.

I'll have a roommate. But it's one I choose and not just some rando. And they're kinda more than just a roommate because they're my best friend.

There's a couple of local print shops in that area that I would recommend if you'd want to go that route too!

I've never seen a single Phantasm movie but I've always wanted to. Phantasm III trailers were littered over various VHS tapes I watched as a kid.

I go by they/them myself because I absolutely cannot stand any other invented pronoun that's been introduced to the English language so far. It all sounds like very bad sci-fi language. I'd rather confuse people than carry an embarrassing pronoun.

Ah beans! I'm late!

Back when they were running the original Super Deluxe they had Penelope, Princess of Pets. That was my introduction to the wonderful Kristen Schaal. I wish that show had gotten a proper AS spot. I think China, IL was the only SD show that eventually made the jump.
