Spider-Man And Tumblr

I've been having so much fun on Tumblr. They have everything. There are even Ramen blogs.

I understand why people don't like it. If someone doesn't post a source for their unoriginal content, it is pretty much impossible to find out more. Still, from what I've seen that doesn't happen often. I do stick mostly to the comics related content though.

It was tumblr that tipped me off about the July 23 Auction on ha.com (Heritage Auctions) There will be open bidding on a piece of John Romita artwork featuring Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus in front of the Sanger Harris department store at Town East Mall in Mesquite, Texas. It an indented advertising supplement in the defunct Dallas Times Herald. I do love looking at unpublished art. Visit the Dallas Observer for more on that.

It will be fun to see how much it goes for. Comic book values might surprise some, and everyone loves John Romtia art work on Spider Man. 

I was going to do a post for the fourth. I've found some invited fire works photos, but I spent too muc time on other writings. (At least they are patriotic!)

Random Comics: The Family Zoo

Have you ever read something so thoroughly weird that after it was over you weren’t sure what happen? I just found one of these…experiences. It seemed innocuous enough, a story of a family that gets reincarnated as zoo animals.I could deal with the poo-eating joke that were cearly going to happen from pages one, but when we hit interspecial incest my brain hurt too much to keep going. I had to come back anther day. This short is gets high marks for orginality and the timing of the brain destorying turns. That said, this was 22 pages my eyes can’t take back.

I really wish they could.

Here is a snip it. I advise you not to go looking for this one. 

The manga has no official English translation, but was brought to the English speaking world by Mangascreener. I find it hard to say thank you…

The things I Learn from a PS3

In the nuclear apocalypse not much survives. Humans must salvage whatever they can to build a life in the Wasteland. Fear not though, for even in the wake of a nuclear fallout hair gel still remains for the bad guys to make their mohawks nice and pointy.

Fallout 3 told me so.

I was given a PS3 for Christmas, so after I finished Final Fantasy 13 I began Fallout 3. It is a fantasic, addicting game. However, after 8000 kb in file size it game begins to jam up. D=

In order to keep playing (and have my PS3 operate correctly), I must safe reset to get rid of the corrupted data. Stupid lazy port from the XBOX…It should speak for the greatness for the game that I have played it enough after that point to get to lvl 30 with good karma. (Gotta get these all important trophies, you know.) I already bought New Vegas before I found out about this chiric problem in Fall out PS3 games, so I will try and play that.

Still, take note of Bestaworks FAIL. They still don’t have patches out for either of these games…[EDIT: They do have a patch out for New Vegas, but it apparently isn’t a complete fix all]

Bemoaning aside my searching for answer lead me to some very cool finds! See Fallout Photo Love

In other news, Plants vs Zombies might be the greatest game ever.

DragonCon Report on the way

I forgot about flickers upload cap, so I'm stuck with just the photos I have up there. =( I have been adding some to my DA page like this Phoenix Wright themed one Objection. I have a funny Happy potter one too in Hogwarts Teachers Chillin'. There is a classic Storm Trooper shot too.

I'll get up details up in the next week along with some of the best con shots on my DA page. More videos are coming too! Including all the live acts from D*C on Monday.

On an unrelated note, Google Christian Siriano at Fashion Week for some over-the-top couture creations for spring/summer. Would you (could you) wear something like that?

Busy!

I've been very busy with the start of school. No one reads this, so I haven't taken the time to update. I did take the time to got o DragonCon though!

I report of my adventure will follow. There will be pictures (some up on Here already.)
and videos on my you tube MistyGeekable

Kidz Bop, making you go "Wha..?" for more than a decade

Have you ever seen one of the commercials for Kidz Bop? It's a "band" of kids that do covers of pop songs for a kiddie audience. They just put out a cover of Lady Gaga and Beyonce's smash song "Telephone."

Hey don't worry instead of "sipping that bub" they've wisely substituted "eating that grub." Enjoy.



I know you might need somethign after that. Enjoy 50 My Little Pony Mods for Geeks. You might be impressed.

The Psychology of Make Up and other girly things

Is a woman lazy if she doesn't wear make up? It seems to be a common belief. I know among my circle of fiends the nerdy portion don't normally bother, unless it is for a costume or over dramatic eye painting. Recently, WolvenChic over on Lovelyish wrote I'm Not Lazy Because I Don't Wear Makeup, taking up the issues on a personal level.

I admit to a lipstick addiction. I would probably be worse in this department, if I had the money to spend on make up more often. At the end of the day I would rather spend $8 on one of these P.F. Chang's frozen dinners then a the newset product from CoverGirl.

The New York Times took a look at the new trend of circle lens. They aren't new to anime fans and cosplayers, but the big eyed look is really picking up on the U.S.  The problem with that is circle lenses are illegal in the U.S. (contact lenses must be purchased with a prescription). They carry risks like oxygen deprivation, and it is really not a good idea to wear lens you don't need to.

The lens have gone mainstream in Japan, Singapore and South Korea. They've long been popular for photos, but now are becoming just like and other fashion accessory.
The NY Times articale gets into the danger and the history of the tread more.
