Work is calming down, so hopefully I can do a better job of keeping up with the blog while juggling summer school and London plans. We shall see. It’s hard to escape the calling of my pool though!!

catching up

Once again work & school & life have got in the way of being a good, regular blogger. Hopefully I can get with the program again! Anyway… I have some posts lined up for the weekend & a couple things to throw on here today. Enjoy, & sorry about the delay!

I’m so shocked I haven’t got to Lenny Kravitz yet!? He is smoking hot & makes consistently excellent music. He also seems like he would be one of the most cool and down to earth people to hang out with. All that, and you could do your laundry on his stomach. What a guy!

Lenny Kravitz - American Woman
Lenny Kravitz - Breathe (Chromeo Remix)
Lenny Kravitz - Rock & Roll Is Dead

“When someone asks me if I’ve found Jesus, I say, “Yeah, I saw him at a Nirvana concert a couple of years ago.” It’s like, Jesus has got things to do, he’s got a ten o’clock. He’s not going to fix things for me, I have to fix things for myself, so I try and have a sense of humor about it and nobody finds my humor very amusing. We’ve just got to lighten up on the savior bit, folks. You know, get off the cross, we need the wood.”

– Tori Amos

comic book weekend - Iron Man & FCBD!!

What a great weekend ahead for nerds like me!?

First off, the amazing looking ‘Iron Man’ movie is out today & I can’t wait to see it. Shantytown just phoned in a tip-off that viewers should stay through the credits as there’s a hidden treat afterward a la the hidden scene in X-Men 3. The cast looks fantastic & the wait is finally over!!

In other news, tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day, the annual nerd holiday where all the publishers put out special edition free books for a day, & all the comic stores have big sales to coincide. I’ll be spending some cash tomorrow, & having a great night tonight!

So have a great weekend, y’all… whether you’re a nerd or not!!
