“What I Did On My Winter Staycation” by Michael
Wow, it’s been a long holiday season. And I took a much deserved, and serendipitous, vacation. I did not plan the vacation to be a NINE DAY break — it just worked out that way. I did not plan to be off when a book I’ve waited almost 20 years for finally came out — but … Continue reading
Obligatory Best of 2012 Post
Michael here. So, 2012 was a year many new obsessions began for me. This post is going to talk about four things I read, watched and played in 2012. Some of these things were not created in 2012, but this is when I discovered them. What you’re getting here is a slice of my year. … Continue reading
Monday News: We’re not discussing the thing that we’re discussing
This is apparently the year when everyone decided to apply their dissatisfaction with George Lucas to everything else in the history of ever as I can guarantee that something like 3000 articles will appear about Brave not being as successful as the other Pixar films because it “betrays the brand” by seeming too much like a Disney … Continue reading
Lego Review: Monster Fighters- The Swamp Creature (9461)
Lego’s newest in-house theme for summer 2012: Monster Fighters.

Plus, they can so much more fun and … Continue reading

Draw Something again (now with 1/3 more terrible camera phone pictures)
Well I’m busy fixating over the sentence structure of the piece I was going to run today but I’ve run out of time… Wait, I mean because you guys liked the last round so much I’m going to show you some more stuff from Draw Something! A lot of these predate me taking screenshots of … Continue reading
Monday News: Awards Season
So the Eisners were announced last week and that’s kind of a big deal; I’m a little disappointed in the nominations since they’re doing the same thing they’ve done in the past where they set up two books to sweep everything, this year being the new volume of Daredevil (which is excellent) and Jim Henson’s A Tale of Sand (which … Continue reading
