Throw the Cards in the Blender and Hit Reboot

Had an absolutely lovely weekend hanging out with Amy. Saw Up in the Air — pretty good, with a very non-Hollywood ending. Played a good deal of Borderlands. Got a couple Arkham Polytech strips done for posting later this week.

We stopped by the SPCA, starting the process of finding a dog. Spent some quality time with a 9 month hound with the unfortunate name of Miley. A cute little bugger who spent the entire time we were with her in the human-cage sniffing the floor and watching other dogs pass in the hallway.  The search continues. If it goes longer than a few months, I’m gonna say screw it, let’s just get a Roomba.

A Girl and Her Gunship – It’s reboot time! Took a break from this last week to get my head sorted out about it. I was going all spastic over whether it was gonna be an origin story or not. And if not an origin story, what would the first sentence be. (If I don’t know the first sentence, I just can’t start writing.) Figured out a potential non-origin first sentence Friday, and it’s all clicked from there. An article over at io9 (which I won’t link to because they’re a bastard closed-garden site that doesn’t let you use a url when you leave comments) sealed the deal when it pointed out neither James T Kirk  nor Han Solo didn’t needed an origin story — in fact, when their origin stories were delved into, they kinda lost some of their cool.

Sites: Redesigned mishmashocrap.com and arkhampolytech.com over the weekend. Over the next month, I’ll be redesigning the t-shirt store site (probably going back to using fourthcult.com for it) and giving slackpocalypse.com a thorough nuking and rebirth. In case ya didn’t notice, Mishmashocrap.com is now my primary blog of choice, again. It just felt right.
