Okay, I know almost no one is interested in comic book reviews from the last '80s except me, right? But in the interest of giving myself some stability I'm going to keep on doing them. I need stability!
I'm also doing daily junk at my two other sites. Yesterday's Special is my usually daily nostalgia blog, focusing on all the crazy stuff that entertained me as a kid in those precious pre-X-Men years (also known as the first eight years of my life). If you haven't seen the opening credits for "TaleSpin" or the first third of one of the greatest episodes of "Muppet Babies" ever, then that site's for you.
I also just began The Damage Is Done, which is where I'll be posting one song by The Features a day with a brief recap/history/opinion on the song. I love this band and I want to provide a place online for people to go to get a good grasp of what they're all about (to paraphrase their song "Buffalo Head").
And there's Tales To Diminish, my webcomic that's a bit on hold right now as I gear up for a revamp. Go there and enjoy the ten strips I've done!
And that's it for now. I'll try to post other things besides comic reviews here...anyone interested in daily updates on what "food" I'm eating? No? Sometimes it's NOT frozen pizzas, you guys. Isn't that interesting?

Brand New Day
I know I should have capitalized on all the heat I was getting last Thursday, but I chose to wait until Monday to make my triumphant (and highly scheduled) return to the world of blogging. So here it is.
I was let go, which fills me with all sorts of emotion...and a lot of free time. I got tons of great memories, lots of cool sketches and made some amazing friends. I've met some of the most genuine, honest, caring and talented people ever. And...I spent a year watching them get harassed, fired, let go, belittled, annoyed, infuriated, etc. I will miss all of them, but I won't miss seeing them emotionally destroyed on a daily basis and I won't miss being one of them getting destroyed. So, onwards and...well, not upwards yet. Onwards. Upwards in some ways, not bank-statement-ways.
This comes at a crazy time, right after my Harold audition experience and during a pretty successful sketch 201 class. If there was ever a time to focus on my comedy and making something of myself, giving myself some great experiences and credits, then now is the time. So I will, in theory, hopefully, be blogging here daily. Personal stuff, funny stuff, review stuff, comic stuff, news stuff, dumb stuff, all of it. I also have started this and will continue to update this. I will also be seeing more improv shows and sketch shows and, fingers crossed, start teching shows to make some cash.
I'm ready to focus on what's important, and that's being creative. And eating. Not dying, too. That's important. And "Tough Love." Seriously, you guys watching that show?
