It may just be you and I tonight, MD. Started this one late. And it’s been almost a week since last post. And there’s nothing good on TV.

I don’t even know what I’m doing online- I’ve got to study for this exam on Tuesday, but I keep getting sucked in with Launch’s picks for me on "my radio station." Crap. Everything else is boring.

I might as well take this time to ask whether or not you’re going to take the trip to the west coast for the San Diego Comic-con in the near future, either with Nick or just for the hell of it. By the way what goes in Nick’s east coast division as opposed to their LA/Orlando branch? I ask because the people at the Nick booth where from LA and not from the other divisions and I’m curious as what goes in at each branch.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who sits at home on Saturday night.

I had plans to hit King’s Island in Cincinnati today, but my friends (the ones with whom I was making the trip) decided to scrap the plans earlier today at the last possible moment. So, unable to drum up any additional activities for the evening, I find myself at home…alone… and listening to the neighbors’ cats fight each other outside my bedroom window. So long story short: I hate my friends.
Ummm…koo-koo-ka-choob.

The san-diego comicon was two weeks ago. Next weekend is the Chicago comicon which I’m going to, I’m super excited to meet jim lee and frank miller. I just finished Hush today, and am enjoying All Star Bats. It should be a crime for jim to draw Vicki Vale that well.
Thought I’d stay in tonight, seeing as I’ve gone out 4 of the last 5 nights.
I get my first paycheck of my first "real" (i.e. post-college) job on Monday, so I’m poking around Amazon.com and such to see if there’s anything I want to blow it on. My job pays monthly instead of bi-weekly, so I’ll basically be going from a poor college student to a well-to-do hundredare overnight. Roast my toast!

Awsome Gozer, I’m moving into my Post-College apartment this coming Saturday, the scary part is I have no job. Everyone around me is saying everything will work itself out, but I gotta hit that pavement hard this first month so I can make rent for the next. Where do you work?
Okay…I’m going through my kitchen looking for beverages that might mix well with Skyy Vodka. My options are as follows:
1. Mountain Dew
2. Iced Tea
3. Slammin’ Strawberry-Kiwi Kool-Aid
4. Sunkist
5. Tap Water
Please post your suggestions. And make it snappy, because I’ll probably just start downing the shit straight in about 20 minutes…

Chaz: To clarify I was referring to Comic-con 2006 and beyond.
Anyone else who was there find the Lucasfilm pavilion not as impressive as it was last year? Given the milestone the company was reaching with the final star wars movie you think they would have splurged on something a little more decadent like they did last year. If not more so as the event warranted.
Chestnuts roasted by Combat-Mike @ 07/30/2005 11:54 PM
I’d say your best bet is between the iced tea and the kool-aid. of course the Sunkist would be good. I call vodka with orange soda an "Electric Screwdriver" not sure if that was a legit name that I stole or I made it up, at any rate it sounds good.
Chaz:
That’s ironic – I finally got my current job like a month after I graduated, but I don’t have an apartment yet after my lease ends on August 14th. My soon-to-be roommates and I are just procrastinating on finding a place.
I work at a healthcare software company ("Epic Systems") here in Madison, WI. I’m basically using like 10% of what I learned in college with my non-software-related nuclear engineering major, but it’s a sweet job anyway. It was originally sort of a back-up job opportunity, but I was getting nervous that’d I’d end up in a similar situation to yours so I took the job and it’s been great so far.
Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 07/31/2005 12:01 PM
I hear that, my major is in Media Studies. I’m at the point where I’ll work just about anywhere cuz of that nervous apprenesion of being out on the street and as kanye west says, I’d only have my degree to keep me warm.
I’m told this is a pretty standard fear of a college graduate. Especially with this economy.
The Yeti:
My gut tells me that vodka might not go well with Mountain Dew, but I recently had a Mountain Dew Float, and it wasn’t too bad. So it’s versitile. Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, vodka and Code Red Mountain Dew sounds pretty good for some reason (but I’ve never tried it). Sorta like Red Bull and vodka maybe?
Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 07/31/2005 12:04 PM
Red Bull and Vodka left yours truly resorting to carrying around a garbage bag the remainder of the evening a few years back. It really screws with the system, adding a depressant to a stimulant.

Hey Rainbow feet….I know the feeling I shouldn’t be here either but I am….I have a major final project for my class due Tuesday as well as my final exam on Thursday that I should be studying for…..Yo Matt I still love that Spiderman Crayon review….."Then how do you explain this tan"? LOL

don’t drink myself, but I am pretty good at the web, check out this site for what to do with your ingredients. http://www.idrink.com/ might even notice a few things you wouldn’t normally include.

With the wife working late tonight, I decided to treat myself to double dose of ninja flicks: "Revenge of the Ninja" and "Blind Fury." I had no idea that Sho Kosugi actually appeared in BOTH, so that was a nice surprise…

tonight I watched the movie Punchline, an eighties movie with tom hanks and sally field about stand up comedy. It got pretty powerful at the end, shows the duality in the life of a comic. Very Enjoyable.
And it just keeps getting later and later, doesn’t it, Mike? I know I’ve done nothing since my last post.

You…you didn’t even give us a goddamned SUBJECT.
Is the subject to complain about the lack of subject? Because, if it is, I’m doing good, real good.
Chestnuts roasted by Crocodile Feelin' @ 07/31/2005 1:05 AM
I recently dumped a packet of Invisible Raspberry into a glass of milk. Bad move. It was like drinking a sour warhead. Now granted it seemed cool, but I got all worried about what it would do to my insides. Young enough to still experiment with drinks, old enough to worry over the consequences. sigh.
Tonight, I attended a poor excuse for a carnival. Just made me sad and left me wishing for a real one.
So, will I be watching Constantine or Grosse Pointe Blank now? input please.

Well, the other day I cut my thumb at work and had to get stitches.
So tonight, I attempted to play Super Smash Bros Melee with my brother and his friends and not use my right thumb. I managed to come in 2nd twice and 3rd once (with four people playing). That was better than I anticipated. Woo.
