With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the bloody tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
at the midnight hour
It’s a nigh of Kingston Trio music tonight.
Soon to be replaced by more of season 1 of Charmed, specifically episodes 15 and 16, the most I have. I have some Doctor Who to catch up on, but I don’t yet have the 9th episodes of season 3 (8, 10, and 11 yes, but not 9) and since it’s the second part of a 2-parter I figured I’d hold off until it’s available.
There are number of new comics available this week from Marvel, but most are crap. They’ve begun a new, luckily limited, Sub-Mariner series (6 issues). There’s a new New Avengers, New X-Men, and New Excalibur. Since there is an X-Men series being published, New X-Men makes enough sense, but there is no reason for the “New” in New Avengers and New Excalibur, and I suspect that at some point Marvel will change the titles, dropping the “New,” or cancel the titles and start new ongoings with the same characters/teams but without the “New.” Of course, that could take a year ore more. New Avengers is at 31 and Marvel won’t do anything to 50 unless the sales drop dramatically, I think, but New Excalibur is a Chris Claremont title and seems to exist primarily as a way to give him something to do. His characters, his stories and quirks, and no real connection to the rest of the Marvel universe so unimportant. Enjoyable when done well, though.
I’ll just read Cable and Deadpool instead.
From links-land I can offer the following:
- Midget Rice (like Minute Rice … only, different)
- Is Assassination Allowed of Not? (see, our government needs to be *legally* evil, not illegally evil)
- Joe Kennedy’s First Marriage: Still On (dealing with an old annulment … this is really only an issue for those partaking in obscure cult practices, that is, Catholicism)
- Muslim Girl Magazine (with just liberating and important stories as “Style your Hijab!”)
- Lose weight! Feel great! Well, maybe not (“Here’s a question: Would you take a medicine whose possible side effects included making you poop in your pants?” A story about the side effects of alli and the stupid, body-conscious, normally-sized women who buy it)
- ‘Waitress’ star Keri Russell welcomes a son (because a fluffy publicity piece counts as “news” … speaking of overly skinny people)
