Okay, I know everybody’s got it, but I’m just not feeling it. Can I just do red, white, and blue peace signs? Is everyone cool with that? Thanks.

Lord of the Rings
Went to see a Lord of the Rings presentation at Lincoln Center last night. Very cool, even if I didn’t get home until 2am! You can find a bunch of write-ups on it at TheOneRing.net. The Cave Troll rules! I can’t help being a bit geeky about this. It really looks like the LotR movies aren’t going to suck! Of course, now I’m going to have to re-read all the books, too. Where am I going to find time for that?
Boston hike
Pics from last weekend’s Boston hike are up. I screwed up most of my right leg, but it was fun.
Patrick
My brother Patrick just got engaged! Congratulations!
Cerebus
I just finished reading the most recent Cerebus story arc, Going Home. As usual, great storytelling, great backgrounds from Gerhard, and some great funny bits in the main story.
Some weird stuff in the back, though, including a way bizzare essay in the back of the last issue. You can read it here, on the Comics Journal’s page. I actually think Sim makes some good points, although he goes way too far with most of them. You can read more about his essay here. Have fun.
eBay
I’ve been posting some more stuff on eBay over the last couple of days. Check it out. (Hit the eBay link on the left.) I really need to clear up some space in my apartment!
San Diego
Some stuff to report from the con:
– Good presentation on the Lord of the Rings movie from the guys at TheOneRing.net.
– Interesting stuff on the next Star Wars movie from Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm. There’s an article about the “Star Wars: Connections” presentation on StarWars.com. Also, there are a few other con-related articles at the site.
– Samurai Jack ought to be really cool. The folks from Cartoon Network showed the movie which kicks off the series. Pretty strange for a regular, commercial TV show. Long sequences were almost entirely wordless. It has a very odd style to it. I’m looking forward to it.
back from LA and San Diego
I never got around to hooking up the laptop in San Diego, so obviously there were no Blogger posts from the con. Sorry!
I had a great time, both in LA and San Diego. Besides the wedding in LA, I also hit Disneyland while I was out there. That was actually more fun than I expected.
