i love that this semester is almost over, it means no more plants, better weather, and getting a hot, tanned, toned body for the summer! and since i'm not taking summer classes i'm gonna have lots of spare time to "work the angle"!

by work the angle i mean my 10km rollerblade routes that involve spandex and minor automobile accidents. haha jk about the accidents, its not my fault the guys are staring at a chick in spandex instead of the road! muhahaha.


I don't understand this aversion to plants of yours, but I sure am amused by it - please explain!

Me being new to all this, I went on a few comic book splurges in the last month or so. This is what I've read:

Batman: Son of the Demon - very cool, some good themes, esp. regarding revenge
Batman: Blind Justice - more about Bruce Wayne than Batman, but very good plot, a bit far-fetched at points with the mind-transferring device, though - a fair bit of Batman Begins was inspired by this, I believe...
Superman All-Star #3 - Superman gives Lois his powers for 24 hours on her birthday, a very fun read
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #195 & 196 - Some cool Dr. Freeze moments (with his pyschosis, and his wife speaking to him), but I find Batman's team of nerds to be a bit annoying
The Death of Superman - I got a bit lost with some of the JLA sub-plots, but this is every bit as great as it should be, especially the ending.
Batman: Year One - I do find that this book is as much about Jim Gordon as it is about Batman, but this is probably the best graphic novel I've ever read. I can see a lot of how both Burton's Batman and Nolan's Batman came from this.

***POSSIBLE SPOILER? (though if you're into Batman at all, it won't be)***




After reading all this, I had some questions - in DC continuity, is Ra's Al Ghul and Henri Ducard meant to be one in the same? I know this is a plot-twist in Batman Begins, but it appears to me after reading these comics that they are two completely different characters...was it just for convenience's sake?




***END SPOILER***

In Seattle, my friend ordered a Domino's cheese pizza and it cost $20 delivered. That's daylight robbery, I tell's ya!


Over here a giant size super supreme from Pizza Hut costs about 10 dollars.


How big is giant size?

We used to have small (4 slices), large (8 slices), and family (12 slices) sizes, but ever since Domino's and Pizza Hut got into a price war about 10 or so years ago, the large pizzas were the most economical, and all the other sizes were phased out. Nowadays, if you want to eat heaps of pizza, it's more a question of how many pizzas you get, rather than what size. You can usually get 2 large pizzas, garlic bread, and a 2 Litre Coke for about $21.95 delivered.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm sure Batman and Superman have gone toe to toe like this before...and if I recall correctly, Batman won somehow - any comic book nerds wanna back me up on this?

Coincidence?


True that, man. Although, I really loved him as Mr. Glass.

There's a Drunken Master 2?! Hot-damn, I've gotta see it! Is it better than the first one?

Yeah, Edward Scissorhands would be pretty cool.


What you americans know as "Drunken Master" is actually "Drunken Master 2". The first one was made in 1978.


Correction, what MOST Americans know as "The Legend of Drunken Master" is "Drunken Master II". Drunken Master is just Drunken Master. Ever seen the spin-off Dance of the Drunk Mantis? And believe me, I'd rather own the uncut in Cantonese version preferrably in Anamorphic widescreen-you-ass-because-non-anamorphic-sucks-ass.
How about the Once Upon a Time in China series? Also of course from the original Cantonese/non-dubbed Jet Li Trilogy and the sixth film, Once Upon a Time in China and America. The legendary adventures of Wong Fei-Hung. Wasn't there also a Spartan X comic book series in the late 1990's?


Besides which, I'm not American!

I've seen a few Jackie Chan movies with similar plotlines and the same cast - like Drunken Master and Serpent in the Eagle's Shadow - so it does get a bit confusing...

-Darth Simon


Yeah, the Sonic one is in Casino Night Zone from Sonic 2 (and yet, inexplicably, Knuckles is also there).
