Lame alert!
Ok, so being pregnant is REALLY time consuming and hard on my energy. So I haven't really been doing much of anything of late.
I will probably not be coloring ANY comics until after Noodle is born. At least I'm not taking on any more work that I haven't already committed to (you know who you are!).
So hopefully I can find some randomness to post here so that my blog doesn't get stale and start to smell like old stinky cheese.
Here's something: Fox Sports thinks that Michael Vick should be allowed to continue playing!
Well, some asshat who has a blog on Fox Sports thinks that at least. If this came from a credible source, you know like a REAL news station, I'd be surprised and more outraged, but come on, it's Fox. Fox SPORTS no less.
I will also comment here, that ummm... I generally don't pay much attention to the mainstream news, and somehow missed what Michael Vick was accused of doing. I knew it was something horrible with animals, based on Lori's vehement hatred for him, and my Dad emailed me a cartoon of his "jury" which consisted of all cartoon dogs: Snoopy, Grimm, Pluto, etc. So I gathered it was animals, dogs to be exact. I asked Lori and my Dad to give me the dish and was awarded with one of the most disturbing stories I've heard in a LONG time.
I won't recap it, because I'm probably the last person in America to find out what he did.
Lori posted this awesome eBay auction listing that EVERYONE should go to: Vick eBay Listing. All proceeds to go towards HELPING animals, not TORTURING and MURDERING them.
So I will probably be lame and uninteresting for awhile, hopefully you'll stick around and maybe give me some awesome stuff to talk about.

American Idol Better Than Comic Con?
Apparently the Mayor of San Diego, Jerry Sanders, seems to think so.
Heard on talk radio uttering the phrase, "We've put up the superheroes and now we're on to the people with actual talent.", the Mayor seemed to be glad to be rid of the biggest money maker for the city for the, ummm "talent" of American Idol hopefuls.
Yeah... because they are there spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to come to your city every single year. This year's con SOLD OUT, a first for the con (which I am SO super sad that I missed out on, damn pregnancy and my lack of energy!), and who knows how much cash swept through the city. Sorry that "our lot" likes to dress up in costume sometimes to walk the streets of the Gaslamp district, but that doesn't mean our money is any less green.
So here's to my hope that the people that run comic con finally realize what a waste it is to have it in San Diego, when Las Vegas is MUCH more suitably equipped to handle the type of traffic that a con like this provides. Vegas LIVES off of tourists!!!
Not to mention my selfish reasons for wanting it to be there, I'm from there, so I know the ins and outs of the city better than anyone. I wouldn't have to pay for a hotel because I could stay with my Dad or any of my friends there, I wouldn't have to hoof it everywhere because I could borrow a car from my Dad, I happen to know where ALL of the In N Out Burgers are located... the list goes on and on.
Thanks, Mayor Sanders, for showing your true colors and here's to hoping that your cash cow of comic con dries up in the near future.
Another bonus, for people that like the beach, San Diego is only a 6 hour drive from Vegas. Come in a few extra days early and get some beach time before the con...

Sweeney Todd!
Here's the first poster (that I've seen at least) of Tim Burton's adaptation of one of the best musicals, EVER.
I cannot WAIT for this to hit theatres...
