I only know that I kind of dig it:
An interesting read from the New York Times:
The Trolls Among Us
Covers everything from 4chan to Encyclopedia Dramatica. Check it out.“People know to be deeply skeptical of what they read on the front of a supermarket tabloid,” says Dan Gillmor, who directs the Center for Citizen Media. “It should be even more so with anonymous comments. They shouldn’t start off with a credibility rating of, say, 0. It should be more like negative-30.”
Oh yeah, baby.
While every other nerd out there is going ape shit over recent E3 announcements, I've been sitting here trying to figure out my schedule for Comic-Con.
Thursday:
I arrive at some stupid hour that morning and I anticipate waiting in line/sitting in Ballroom 20 for the majority of the morning waiting for the Doctor Who and Torchwood panels to start. Although I haven't watched Afro Samurai yet, I'm making it a point to go to this panel just because Samuel L. Jackson and The RZA will be in attendance. WHAT? However, there's a Capcom panel showcasing Street Fighter IV at the same time. We'll see.
What you can't see is at 10pm I'm seriously considering going to the Lost Boys The Tribe panel with both Corey's at 10pm. Seriously? Seriously.
Friday:
World War Z author woooo! Oh yeah, and some guys named Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith. Supposedly VIZ is going to do a showing of the BLEACH movie that night, but I haven't seen it mentioned.
Saturday:
Comic-KON! Method Man's going to be at The Black Panel that morning, but I doubt I'll be able to make it because I'll be waiting in line with all the other BLEACH nerds. First world problems. The green box behind the Kubo Tite autograph signing is for a Shojo Beat panel where "big suprises" will be revealed. I may just be eating lunch instead of of either. Oh yeah, and something about the Masquerade later that night... it'll be the first year I'm not participating! Woo!
Turns out a previous leak in the ceiling was never really fixed, so water seeped in through the walls, pooled and gave us a soggy ceiling and a soggier carpet above it. Check out the video (and my roommate Garrett) to see what awesome adventures are in store for us whenever we leave or enter the house!
The house was built in the late 70's... you know what means? Asbestos! Woooo! We find out tomorrow if we can actually live here while they're repairing it or not. Oh boy.
From the recently posted Comic-Con Thursday schedule:

My girls and I make it a point to wear really unflattering and/or goofy costumes during Halloween in order to balance out all the women that make that day an excuse to dress like hookers. "Hey look at my sexy firefighter/garbage man/podiatrist costume guys!!"
Yeah, eff that noise.
So in our great tradition we've already decided what we will rock this Halloween. Presenting... Mom Jeans:
For reference, previous Halloween costumes. Yes, we totally wore fleece suits in the club last year.
I got a hair cut.
And maybe a color too.
My eyebrows look hella black now. I'm still in debate over if this is okay or a "Oh no she di'n't!" move.
I saw Stevie Wonder in concert last night, managed to sit something like 8 rows from the front and it was AMAZING. I love you, Stevie! I can officially die musically happy now that I've seen you live.
