Two observations
1) I think that I have been cast as the Morton Downey Jr of comic book podcasting. I have more people sending me emails that they love the rants that I do than ones telling me that they like or dislike my opinions. I’m not sure how I feel about my opinions, likes and dislikes…

Isabella 2007-2008
She was a very good puppy with very bad genes. I am a cat person, I have always been a cat person. She touched my heart more than any dog ever could and I will miss her. Some people say that she was lucky to have us in her life, but we were the lucky…

My first attempt at video
For some reason uploading the video to an online service strips out the credits and one of the audio tracks. Here is the un-messedup version: Download

Update on Patti
Patti went to the hospital and was told that she has pancreatitis. The doctor prescribed Nexium (the little purple pill) and a painkiller for the pain.

Why my unemployment is good for the nation.
Ever since I was downsized, it appears as though gas prices have dropped nation wide. I got a tankful of gas at lunchtime at $4.19, got downsized and as I drove by the same gas station, the price was $4.15. Not nice. The last time my car was out of commission, I hitched a ride…

The blog is renamed
I didn’t put a lot of thought into the naming of this blog simply because I didn’t plan on using it very much. Lately I have been using it a lot more than I had thought I would, so I decided to worry about naming it. Since like my various podcasts, this is just me…

No more Paypal
Due to the events of last week, I have gotten rid of my Paypal account. If you still want to buy a T-shirt or make a donation to the show, email me at derek@comicbooknoise.com and we’ll work something out. This also means no more eBay auctions for me. Thank goodness for Atomic Avenue. Sorry for…
