sick9. I am also getting ready to do a few more Parasite giveaways. I'm very conflicted. On the one hand, I like the ease of "comment and RNG" giveaways, but on the other hand, I really appreciate it when people put out a little bit more effort, since I have to do a lot of effort on my end, and then I feel like I get to have fun too. I'm still deliberating.
8. Since a few people have asked recently: the tip jar is currently closed, but will be opening on October 1st, since I figure that once every six months is a good way of doing things. I'll make a post clearly stating the situation and what your tips will do when we get to next Tuesday.
7. No, funding a second "season" of Velveteen vs. is not currently on the table. I may be doing something else about that. We shall see.
6. Ryan and Amy are visiting! Ryan and Amy are incredibly tolerant humans who understand that time and deadlines wait for no house guest, and thus allow me to retreat into my room and actually get stuff done while they amuse themselves. Best Amy and Ryan are best. Also...
5. I remain too sick to die, although I'm breathing a little better, so a lot of "company" thus far has consisted of "I want soup no not that soup different soup oh gods above and below why is air so hard?" and whining piteously. I hate the human body sometimes.
4. I am super excited about Frozen, but am amused by the fact that—thanks to the current trend of "gender neutral, non-evocative, mentioning no characters, single word" titles—it's hard to sort news about the movie from news about a remarkably wide assortment of books. Disney, perhaps it is time to reconsider your titles...

2. Jean Grey is currently not dead and my mother refuses to come into the comic book store because she's afraid I'm going to develop telekinetic powers and burn the place to the ground.
1. Zombies are love.

Chances are good this may actually happen. At the very least, I will bring popcorn or other snack foods to the show when I pick up my issue. (I love my local comic book store.)
I haven't read Brian Michael Bendis' script for the next issue or anything, but judging by how bitchy certain redheads are being, I'd say there is a 50/50 chance I will get to see the above mentioned smackdown. If nothing else, we've already gotten to say just how much Jean Grey hates and beats up on herself, while being completely egotistical at the same time.
...Everyone try to avoid specifics and spoilers here if you can. I'm on thin enough ice with that last sentence as it is. :)
For the record, I like what Bendis has done with teenage Jean in "All-New X-Men." I can't say I like the _character_, but wow, she's interestingly messed up. Excuse me while I look for an appropriate Dorothy Parker quote so I can channel Emma's POV, also...
