Slacker Sunday: Albany Comic Con Wrap Up

Hey everyone! Hopefully you're all having a wonderful, sunny weekend, just like I am. I'm in a great mood because I just got back from Albany Comic Con, and as you all well know, comic cons can cure whatever ails you, so I'm in a fantastic mood!

Some of the Highlights

Jamal Igle- This guy has worked on a TON of comic books, including Iron Man, Supergirl and Wonder Woman. I got to meet him today, and he signed issue #53 of the current Supergirl series for me, which he not only penciled, but also did the cover art. He is a super nice guy. More info on Jamal can be found HERE.

Jeff Burns- Jeff is a local filmmaker, who is currently working on the webseries "Super Knocked Up". I've been corresponding with him for sometime via Facebook, but finally met him face to face for the first time today.  I'm so glad that I'm helping out with this project because Jeff is one of the most sincerely nice guys I've ever met. He gave me a tee shirt, so I got to rock out in my new SKU tee. I'll be rocking it again in Boston in 2 weeks! For more info on "Super Knocked Up", click HERE or just look it up on Facebook!

Cos Players- For some reason, these guys were out in full force today. I love checking out people in costume, because you can see how much effort (or lack of effort) they've put into their work. I bought a Hello Kitty watch from the Upstate NY Cos Player group, and they were certainly dressed to the nines!

COMICS!- I mean, really? What's the use of going to a con if you're not going to buy books? Amiright? The sellers had plenty this go around, including plenty of variants, cheap "filler" books and trades.

The Albany Con is seemingly busting at the seams these days. I remember The Editor and I checking it out for the first time three years ago, and the place was a flipping ghost town. Dare I say that come October, they may need to start looking for a new venue, because the Holiday Inn is just about at capacity.

My only gripe about the con is that I still couldn't find my ungettable get. I've been scouring cons for the past two years trying to find a Wonder Woman Barbie doll, and I can't seem to find one ANYWHERE. I need her so that I can complete the trifecta and have Supergirl, Batgirl and Wonder Woman all standing proudly on display in the Nerdatorium. Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky in Boston...

Slacker Sunday: Awesome Edition!

This is more like a rant. It's completely not awesome, it's just what I wrote to get you here. :-/ All that needs to be said, can be found in this article HERE.

Happy belated April Fools, y'all!

Slacker Sunday: Some of my Favorite Websites Edition Part 2!

A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to some of the websites I look at every day. Here are a few more!

Dlisted- Dlisted is the best place in the world for celebrity gossip. Better than TMZ, better than Perez Hilton, and funnier than both put together. Michael K. is my gossip god.

STFU Parents- Everybody who has facebook knows at least one or two people who are notorious for making posts about their kids ALL the time. This is a site dedicated to the most ridiculous of these posts. As a parent-to-be it's pretty amazing.

Passive Aggressive Notes- The most amazing passively aggressive notes you'll ever bear witness to.

Fail Blog- The most awesome fails you'll ever see.

The Oatmeal- You will laugh. Very very hard. Bonus points for being offended!

Maddox- The Best Page in the Universe.

Slacker Sunday: Some of My Favorite Websites Edition!

Today, in my epic laziness, I've decided to share some of my most favorite websites with you. I know you all aspire to be as awesome as me, so this will help you with your quest!

io9- io9 is an amazing site for all things geek. They talk about comics and movies and TV and science and all sorts of geeky fun stuff.

Our Valued Customers- This website is a comic book store worker who creates comics out of the strange wacky things his customers say.

Lamebook- Like Failbooking but better. This site makes fun of all things Facebook, and the stupid things people say on it.

Regretsy- Where DIY meets WTF

That's just a few of them to hold you over for now, I'll be featuring more next week!

Slacker Sunday: I Love Toy Trains Edition

Yup, that's all I've got. I hope you errrr... ummmm.... enjoy?

Slacker Sunday: Charlie Sheen Edition!

In honor of Charlie Sheen's decline in sanity, I thought I would give the train wreck his own post this week! This song will get in your head and stay there longer than Antione Dodson's "Bed Intruder Song" so consider yourself warned... Evan T., this one's for you!



Can't get enough Sheen? Well, HERE are a few fantastic quotes presented by super heroes.

What's that? You want MORE you say?! Live the Sheen Dream Here

Slacker Sunday!

Hello everyone! Apologies for not posting last night, The Editor and I are both super sick and restricted to the confines of the bedroom. I hope y'all understand. Anyhoo, for your entertainment and enjoyment, here are some "I'm a Marvel, I'm a DC" videos for you to enjoy! Hope you have a great week!

Slacker Sunday: President's Day Edition

Good day all! I hope you are having a great weekend! Since it's President's Day tomorrow, I figured I'd celebrate by sharing an educational video about one of our founding fathers, GEORGE WASHINGTON! Have a great evening, and a wonderful tomorrow!

Slacker Sunday

Hello everyone! So, generally speaking I try and have one day a week where I can kinda be lazy and slack (that is, if I don't have anything in the queue for Evan T.) and I have decided that I earned that day this week. I've played approximately 1,000,000 hours of Borderlands this weekend, therefore, my brain has become goo.

One of my fellow nerd-nighters introduced me to this short film. I hope you enjoy Lazy Teenage Superheroes!
