Been a long time since I filled out a meme – but what the heck. Originally from
I was ___ years old the first time I…..

My lovely wife Chantale has gone ahead and uploaded Kyle’s 1st Birthday Pics 🙂 Here’s a teaser:
(God isn’t he GORGEOUS! 🙂 (very proud Papa Smile!))
To see more, go visit her site devoted to Kyle: The Lady of the Lake and click on 1st Birthday! 🙂
Just came back from my LCS (Astrobooks) and was pleasantly surprised at seeing Von Allan Studios’ “The Road To God Knows” on the cover of thier monthly Astronotes. They were also giving out TRTGK bookmarks! Very nice to see 🙂
By the way, a reminder for all you Comicopians out there who wanted to see more sample pages than the 10 I presented in a recent issue, head on over to the Von Allan Studios Website to do so.
Paul Stock can be found at the Astro Books Website
That is all for today 🙂
Edit: Okay, web link fixed! Sorry about that 🙂
Not completely unexpected, but definitely a loss. A shame that pretty soon we won’t see Ronn Sutton’s gorgeous art in Elvira any more as Claypool is going to stop its comic printing. Full story over at Newsarama
14 years. How utterly sad…
I can’t concentrate today. Just can’t seem to focus on anything. Brain very much fuzzy. Lack of sleep (2am-5am does not a good night’s rest make), plus irritating train ride (1 hour of listening to 4 women complain about everything under the sun (life, partners, computers, kids, etc), plus a jumble of ideas and things that need doing make the task of thinking that much more impossible.
I dislike bemoaning. Right now I just feel really “stuck” and can’t even work up the energy to go out for lunch (out being either outdoors or “out for a bite”).
Gah.
Different topic 🙂
While searching today, I came across a blog called All About Parenting. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that I had been posted about on July 11th! From the Blog Post: “Mike Aragona loves being a Father! This site is dedicated to his family. Tons of photos of his kids and an On-Line Parenting Journal make time spent here very entertaining!”
Very nice 🙂
By the way, Chantale just told me that James mentioned today that his body was undergoing… changes 🙂 I giggled at this as I was mentioning to him at the beginning of this week how his voice has cracked a few times (while I was congratulating him on getting his first zit (while he was denying it stating it was a mosquito bite)) 🙂
Yes, I’m a very Proud Papa 🙂 By this weekend, I should have some of Kyle’s 1st Birthday pics on-line. I’ll let you know when 🙂
Edit: Actually forgot to point out that the Parenting page in question is at http://www.aragona.info!
I realize my posts are sometimes all over the place since I’m talking about a lot of different things. So, I will make the effort to breakdown the posts and concentrate (or attempt to concentrate) on specific ideas per post. Yes, this might mean multiple posts, but at least they’ll have a different target 🙂
Let’s begin with Comicopia.
I got my hands on what will be the cover for issue 96 and I love it 🙂 Not that I don’t love every cover but this idea was one that I’ve been trying to get put together for years now. It will become the main picture to be used on various “recruitment” type flyers and the web. Heck, it might end up being a t-shirt at this rate.
I’ve worked out the theme for issue 99 and got the artist started on one of the covers for that issue. I’m glad he’s excited by it 🙂
I’ve spoken with Gabriel Morrissette on the cover for our incredible issue 100 and we’re working the logistics of getting other member art for the contributing pieces. Slightly challenging but we’re optimistic.
Speaking of our 100th issue in general and APACon 1 in particular… it turns out that Paradise Comics have decided that their annual convention will be the weekend of June 8th 2007 and not end of April as it has been in the past. This means that as opposed to “launching” issue 100 at the Convention, it will be closer to the publishing of issue 101 (June 20, 2007 is deadline for 101). So, the impact won’t be the same… I guess we’ll still have a table, though. It is something to celebrate after all… We’ll see what the members think. At least it’ll help me get rid of some of those much older back issues 🙂
Actually, speaking of back issues, if there’s anyone reading this who’d like to get copies of some back issues (hey, comics history is great!) just let me know and I’ll send them to you. (Von, you’ll have to tell me how many you want me to limit you because otherwise… well, I’ll give you a whole slew of them… 🙂 Actually, Dwight, you should let me know if you want me to send you some issues too (or drop them off the next time I pass through Ottawa!))
Drats. I got interrupted and thus lost my train of thought. So, I’ll leave it at this for now 🙂
There’s nothing wrong with expecting more of yourself, your environment, your life, or from those around you. There’s also nothing wrong with demanding more when your expectations are not met.
Accepting Mediocrity is a waste, a sin, a crime.
Do something with your life.
Make your actions MEAN something.
GO to the mountain. If it’s not there or apparently doesn’t exist, BUILD it, and then conquer it.
Howdy.
By any chance, is there anyone reading this who doesn’t yet own a copy of the X-Men movie? Would you like a VCR copy?
How about V and V: The Final Battle?
I don’t believe in throwing things away… I’d rather give them away.
