| Just sitting here at work listening to one of DJ Trolld's uvMix shows and realizing its been too long since a release :) How is everyone? The site seems pretty quiet. Miss the upper valley for sure - its been almost 10 years since I last visited. |

| Lori and I just got back from the Goonies 25th Anniversary Celebration in Astoria, OR. The whole cast was there, the whole town opened up...it was amazing!

Doctor Who #10, page 2, drawn by me, and colored by Charlie Kirchoff.
I've now finished drawing the last pages of Doctor Who #12 (on the shelves this June), bringing my run on the book to a close. But there are still more issues to be released.

| | At least you didn't say my dad. | | nowhere's reply on Apr 29th 2010 1:44pm EDT |
Two people have asked if that guy based on my father. My dad is older and has hair loss, but not that old, and not that much hair. But yeah, I do draw the character a bit Cheney at times. But no, it's based on this character -- Mr. Crane -- except an alternate/mainstream universe version of him. Of all the likenesses I drew in this book, I think he's unfortunately my worst one. And he's such a minor character, most people don't recognize him. Actor sounds just like Michael Caine, for what that's worth.
Fun fact: that wiki I linked has an entry on me, and I didn't write it and don't know who did (as evidenced by the fact they called me "American-born"). |

There are places like this -- CLICK -- but I'm not sure how far and wide they ship.
I don't get it today anyway. The Plattsburg shipping hub of Diamond Comic Distributors fucked up and so no one on the east coast gets this issue until next week. West Coast might be luckier. International -- it'll be tough. |

| I realize that weaknesses in our dollar (shaky real estate markets, wars, economy/job woes) inflate the value of Gold...but I'm not reacting to that.
A year ago, gold was selling for between $700-$850/oz and last November we had many of the problems we have today.
As I write this, Gold has skyrocketed to an unbelievable $1170/oz.
It touched $1200/oz earlier today.

| | counterpoint | | Bernat's reply on Nov 28th 2009 12:57am EST |
| Just as a quick counterpoint, I found these two articles:
here
and
here This one is called "How High Can Gold Go" and, again, as a counterpoint, it makes you think gold is actually REASONABLY priced.
A friend recommended a few funds that specialize in profiting in banks and real estate (two different funds) when things go bad. I'm now deciding on investing in those or shorting gold...
|
| | Heh | | trolld's reply on Nov 27th 2009 8:58am EST |
| I thought this very same thing a year ago, though its definitely gotten to crazy levels.
What I'm curious about is what will really kick it in the junk.... maybe its Dubai's recent pant-shitting? |
| | my gut | | Gaul's reply on Nov 24th 2009 5:56pm EST |
| Great points Dave. Although I don't have any actual evidence as to when the gold market will crash, it is inevitable. The fact that any soccer mom can hawk her old gold suggests that either the gold market will be flooded, or that the gold will be burrowed away to keep the market artificially high. free market economy my arse. I believe the next big thing, will be the energies futures market for renewable energies (solar, wind, water, etc). I forsee in the next 10 years, partially due to the green initiatives world wide, we'll see a spike in investments and that will be the next market to inflate. |

| All in attendance at the last event agreed we should do this more often. Well, put up or shut up I say so I'm offering to host the next event here at the Hizz. We actually get delivery from a pizza place now (plus, you know, the restaurant nearby) and I've got a guest bedroom, futon mattress and a couch. I can pick up a couple aerobeds as well. Oh, and I have a poker kit. Real chips. (gasp) Anyway, I'm free the following weekends: Dec 5th, Dec 12th or Dec 19th. Choose your poison and bring your cash. What say you? |

| Jon, like the pro-active work here. I'm not sure of my holiday plans yet but I can not make Dec 12 that much I know. If anything for me, if I make it home at all it will be the week of x-mass (possible that weekend before). I'll update here once I know for sure. hope to see you guys there so I can teach you all a lesson again (except ryan of course, DAMN IT!!) |
|  | sounds good | | ryan's reply on Nov 13th 2009 12:19pm EST |
| I'm definitely down for taking all of your money again... i'm sure almost any of those weekends would be alright for me but if i had to pick one i'd say the weekend of the 12th just in case there are loose ends to tie up on the weekend before xmas (and by loose ends that most likely means all my last minute xmass shopping)... |
| | Poker On | | gbarr's reply on Nov 13th 2009 10:12am EST |
| After watching the final table this week I'm definitely in the mood for some Hold 'em action. The weekends of the 12th and 19th work for me. Forget playing for money - I'm going all in for the bed. |

| An Open Letter to M. Night Shyamalan.
You’ve done it.
You’ve actually done it.
I’m not sure how, and it will take many more viewings to isolate the specific reasons…but somehow, some way, you’ve created the worst movie ever made.
|
| | YAY! | | Bernat's reply on Sep 3rd 2009 1:30am EDT |
| I'm so glad you watched it. |
| | 93 minutes lost... | | gbarr's reply on Sep 3rd 2009 1:27am EDT |
And I would like them back, please. I think that movie was a success if the goal was to make the viewer want to stab him/herself in the neck with a sewing needle.

I probably would have enjoyed it more if they hadn't tried so hard. Epic movie fail. |
| | DSN Fail | | gbarr's reply on Aug 30th 2009 10:00pm EDT |
| Rumor has it that DSN 2.0 is "coming soon" (kinda like the next Duke Nukem). Editing of posts has been broken since the site was moved a while back. I'll be sure to watch The Hap' full-loaded. |
| | Barry Pepper | | GOATOWL's reply on Aug 30th 2009 8:20pm EDT |
| Dave... yes, the "non-happening" was most certainly not oscar material but seriously, we all know anything with Barry Pepper is destined to be the worst movie ever... |
| | BE | | Bernat's reply on Aug 30th 2009 8:14pm EDT |
| It makes "Battlefield Earth" look like "Citizen Kane."
Hell, even "Showgirls" looks Oscar-worthy next to it.
G -- TOTALLY watch it. Actually:
1) Open a bottle of wine
2) Drink it
3) Open another bottle and start the movie. >
Also, I tried to put formatting in my open letter (above) but DSN ate all my paragraphs. Can't edit it, either *shrug*
|
| | Sounds bad but... | | gbarr's reply on Aug 30th 2009 8:08pm EDT |
| Was it worse than Battlefield Earth? I have my doubts, but since The Crappening is On Demand I'll have to see for myself. |
