Text of the page (random words):
or chinatown karaoke an awesome hotel breakfast with a wonderful guy and his wife from buffalo ny who were in town to help their son move to brooklyn we killed a little over two hours shooting the shit and getting some quality time with two of the other people in the grad program who tagged along to do the whole nyc sight seeing thing running into my friend kristin s sister kat whom i only have seen in family photographs but still recognized which lead to an awkward stalker esque interchange but made for a great reason to call kristin in chicago that afternoon the free advance galley copies of upcoming minx books being somewhere where at least twenty people saw my arm and said hey nice great gatsby tattoo as opposed to y know what would make that shit sweet you should put some skulls in it or some big tittied bitches or a demon with like blood drippin out its mouth an shit or some big tittied bitches or an alien smoking weed or you re going to hell young man and that s where demons will rape the tattoos off of you amen hallelujah having others confirm that yes those centaurans on doctor who really do look like people with downs syndrome who abuse steroids and is that supposed to be a commentary on something related to eugenics or not the whole rocketship party but especially seeing jason s original art in person it s given me an idea i m going to run with if all goes according to plan perhaps for actual ink and paper publication even things that kind of sucked in retrospect disappointing horse racing results having said best friend accosted by a crazy mongolian guy at the bar who was talking about obama mccain god bless america prison and need food those are pretty much the only words we made out the bob dylan laserdisc being broken so brian cronin couldn t sing anything at karaoke the minx table refusing to sell me books that are already published and sitting on their table not getting time with certain people barely saw tim leong this year didn t get to meet bully at all seeing chris mautner and jog only briefly kevin church being a big whiny vagina with a cold and shit and not coming to karaoke marcos came to the first party and he had a migraine a migraine not only barely seeing chris pitzer but forgetting to buy the collected skyscrapers of the midwest luckily my shop will likely have it as they like adhouse as much as i do and people i didn t know were at the show until after i had left being sick and miserable and hopped up on tylenol severe cold and flu but i still made it to karaoke kevin fyi the goddamn fucking heat i went back to the hotel in brooklyn mid day on saturday and nearly passed out before i got into the sweet sweet air conditioned walls of the comfort inn brooklyn bridge also really cute desk clerk girl who while she was probably only being nice to me because i was a patron totally didn t seem phony about it so maybe you will see her in a soap opera some day or something where i pooped and showered and changed my shirt for what would be the second of four wardrobe changes inspired by the fact that i sweat like a kid that s even fatter than i already am the really shitty dave matthew s band esque band that played before the indie spinner rack party things i have already made with the reading on presented in order of how i got my read on and with two word midget reviews geraniums and bacon 5 fucking awesome clean cartoonists dirty drawings pretty interesting total hours of sleep had between friday morning and sunday night six approximately four friday night and about two saturday night amount of money spent on books apparrel food alcohol lodging gas and other assorted expenses redacted i don t want to see the number when i post because i will likely kill myself the crystal ball recharged love

the past few months have been a bitch and a half this semester isn t going as well as i had hoped the sheer amount of work reading writing fortunately no arithmetic coupled with things going on at work and at home have made blogging fall way down on the list of priorities so updates i will try to blog more for reals this time i even have a 75 compeleted post that has nothing to do with comics i adopted another dog he had been thrown off the back of a truck in rural virginia and they were scheduled to put him down because he had mange and a secondary skin infection so i drove home with this and now have this classic movie fans a relatively hard to come by film is airing on turner classic movies thursday november 15th at 10pm on the east coast alfred hitchcock s notorious just a friendly fyi comics i haven t been reading much hell most of my mocca pile is still untouched and i stopped by the comics shop and picked up four issues of the comics journal that i had missed i don t expect to be talking about them much in the next few weeks because i signed up for national novel writing month i know i know i don t have time to blog so why would i have time to do this the answer is i don t and that s kind of why i am doing it it s going to free me up from my internal editor knowing that i have to get through 50 000 words in 30 days on top of everything else going on in my life it officially kicked off today and i started what i m currently calling the critical approach on my lunchbreak i didn t meet my target wordcount for the day yet but about 500 words in a half hour hey i had to eat first isn t a bad start i suppose if anyone s curious here s what i tossed out vijay patel s bodega hummed with the vibrations of coolers filled with soda milk and energy drinks the tiny television behind the counter buzzed in a slightly higher tone the poorly remanufactured off brand set s inner workings were audible even over the sale of the century remake wwor was airing in the afternoons the few other post lunch customers weren t talking either not to themselves and not to the other customers either and no one was speaking to the crazy brother with the gun if they did that he might stop pointing the gun at the back of my head and start pointing it at one of them vijay loved shitty syndicated daytime game shows which is why i swung by at 1pm instead of 2pm i knew i d get the regular discount if i didn t interrupt family feud something about how it reminded him of the gambles he played he told me once moving to america starting his first store opening his new store outside of the indian storefronts of what gets referred to in jersey city as patel street at least that s what i think he was saying even though we d shoot the shit as i drank his coffee and buy my camel lights i usually only picked up about two thirds of what he was saying if his accent didn t trip me up whatever bit of candy he was gnawing at did still i got the gist of it any new venture planned or not is a gamble vijay learned from his gambles though a few robberies left him shaken and scared him enough to install one of those silent alarm systems that runs through the phone line and alerts the authorities next time he told me none of those fucks are going to be getting off with any of my money again at least that s what i thought he had said something like that at least the point was he had a new system and he was dying to use it at the right time vijay had been on the business end of a gun a few times but not enough times and definitely not enough times to know that this wasn t the right time this was the wrong time the worst time the brother was twitchy twitchy big and young drugs probably and if he was big twitchy and not scrawny little shit twitchy it meant he wasn t used to working on hype or dust or whatever the fuck he took before he walked in and pulled his piece out it meant that he had narcotic fueled anxiety on top of all the other anxieties that come when a stick up kid pulls a job it meant vijay should not have given me that look that cocky look someone gets when he pulls a straight flush on the river or the chance to land quixotic in scrabble on the triple word score that don t worry harris my secret will save us all look it meant vijay should not have pushed that fucking button hopefully this will give me reason to blog some more despite not having time for comics movies or anything else really https qnerd wordpress com 2007 11 01 the past few months feed 3 30 q nerd it s been a long time i shouldn t have left you without a dope post to

palette for reminding me i ve neglected this blog for once it s not just laziness i ve had a rough month taking care of a sick old dog i think i have him to the point where he can be maintained but it s kind of gut wrenching to know that at best i ve got a year or two with him so i m going to rectify that you know what i miss internerd drama internerd drama is awesome that s maybe the thing i miss most about doing the low road i was never graeme mcmillan or anything but i loved pointing out and mocking some of the crazy histrionics of the internerd in my own special way i thought i grew out of it actually i mean blogging lightly about comics and classic film doesn t lend itself to the real investment in the happenings of the blogosphere or the forum world or anything like that plus we ve got dick doing it awesomely still sometimes the drama touches on things i wanted to write about anyway this time it s turf warfare a concept as old as well turf i found a thread on the classics forum at comic book resources arguably the least drama filled comics subforum on the internerd those classics cats in it a poster points out an interesting comics related web site from mr kitty he stumbled across this website features some fascinating and hilarious material assembled by one or more people who are both funny and highly knowledgeable about comics check it out today however stupid comics rubbed scott shaw of oddball comics the wrong way gosh what a unique website and jeepers such a clever name too i wonder where these geniuses came up with the idea for stupid comics anyway seriously oddball comics has already covered a lot of this material and with much more depth information and humor stupid comics numerous fucks and goddamns don t particularly enhance the commentary material either in my opinion i ve been doing my oddball comics slideshow since around 1975 or so probably long before the people behind stupid comics were even born or able to read sites like this and superdickery strike me as being amateurish and generally scornful of comics so please consider me overwhelmingly underwhelmed you know people express their passions in weird ways some of us good naturedly mock ourselves and the things we love and some of us become very proprietary about ideas we hold dear evidently i m in the former category recovering irish catholic upbringing and all of that and shaw appears to be in the latter his latter comments in that thread demonstrate some very weird rhetorical tricks designed to make him appear to have the high ground but fall flat the big one that sticks with me is this speaking of being on the right track at sdcci 07 i recently did my oddball comics show to a sro audience of over 1 000 people who were kept laughing throughout the performance i ve been doing variations on my oddball comics show at conventions all over the country spanning four decades i ve been writing my oddball comics column for the internet for over seven years first here at comic book resources where it won a corey award for best column and now on its own website kitchen sink published a boxed set of my oddball comics trading cards which was one of the finalists for an eisner award for best comics related product avalanche press published my oddball comics calendar last year my live oddball comics show had a very successful eight week run at hollywood s acme comedy theater pedantic and tiresome looks like a lot of people would disagree with you dave on the other hand as someone who has worked with a number of top canadian entertainers i produced and directed two animated satam tv series starring martin short and john candy the completely mental misadentures of ed grimley and camp candy as well as storyboarding a mackenzie brothers internet cartoon all of which also featured voiceover performances of most of the legendary cast of sctv i think that i m somewhat qualified to congratulate stupid comics for disproving that often held theory that canada s chief export is comedic talent where to start where to start those 1 000 people likely older reverential comics fans let s face it humor falls along demographic lines more often than not the appeal to longevity doesn t really work if the counterargument is that the method is tired and therefore not as funny or valuable as it once was that other people disagree with the value of oddball comics rings hollow when people are disagreeing with shaw regarding the value of stupid comics the closing back handed compliment just well isn t the way to go if the whole point of condemning the cats at stupid comics for being too snarky is it it strikes me as kind of like saying to someone hey your antisemitism offends me those kikes have feelings too what really bothers me though is the claiming of turf an idea isn t something one can really hold onto hell as i ve written before an idea in and of itself is not of any value until it s executed well here we have two different sites both taking inspiration from similar material and executing it in different ways oddball comics isn t my cup of tea maybe it s yours enjoy your tea or something but i m going to stick with this new flavor of coffee i just found at stupid comics edit if you want to track the other side of the discussion you can also view the thread at shaw s forum typing that exclamatian point hurts the inner prescriptivist grammarian i thought i had completely eradicated unrelated my friend james sent me this web comic and i just had to share it with everyone else it s always nice to see people mocking the white heteronormativity that happens within american superhero comics not because it s ...
