(just don’t call me Lambzilla! 🙂 )
Baaaaaaaa 🙂
Thanks be to Sara 🙂
Post a false memory of me. It can be anything you want, so long as it never happened. Then post this to your journal. See what people don’t remember about you.
I had something like 5 cups of coffee today, and I’m still exhausted…
As I told Marc today, I’ve been feeling like Genie lately, walking around going:
“What do you want?” {POOF!}
“What do you want?” {POOF!}
“What do you want?” {POOF!}
“What do you want?” {POOF!}
“What do you want?” {POOF!}
[giggle]
Did you rub my lamp? 🙂
If you’re ready for it, here’s the breakdown of the guests attending the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon this year. Lots of new faces to meet (some, like Warren Ellis, I never expected to meet for at least a long time). It’s a big list, and I’m just going to blurt them all out now. Some of these aren’t on the website but they have been confirmed:
Kaare Andrews, Joey Cavalieri, Jim Cheung, Jim Craig, Tom Fowler, Adi Granov, Phil Jimenez, Francis Manapul, Nick Marinkovich, Nick Postic, Jim McLauchlin, B. Clay Moore, Ramon K. Perez, Dave Ross, Stuart Sayger, Dave Sim, Ty Templeton, J. Torres, Attila Adorjany, Kalman Andrasofsky, J. Bone, Ron Boyd, Saul Colt, Nick Craine, Rich Dannys, Willow Dawson, Ron Kasman, Eric Kim, Shane Kirshenblatt, Andy Lee, Ken Lillie-Paetz, Tyrone McCarthy & Kilrush, Matthew Mohammed, Alex Perkins, Andrew Szewczuk, Craig Taillefer, James Waley, Rob Walton, Sarrah Young, Tom Grummett, Valentine De Landro, Pat Davidson, Crystal “M3TH”, Craig Yeung, Rhys Yorke, Chad Halcom, Warren Ellis, Bill Willingham, Chris Ivy, Brad Guigar, Shawn Richter, Sebastien Caisse, Chip Zdarsky, Scott Mooney, Sean Ward, Steven Tristrum, Bright Anvil Studios, Logan Lubera, Lisa Lubera, Kris Feric, DMF Comics, Brian Michael Bendis
Alvin Schwartz (Writer, Golden Age & Early Silver Age Comics (1939-1958) including Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Slam Bradley, Vigilante, Date with Judy, Buzzy, House of Mystery, Tomahawk, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Newsboy Legion, and Captain Marvel (Fawcett). Mr. Schwartz also wrote most of the Batman and Superman newspaper strips published between 1944 and 1952. Mr. Schwartz is the creator of Bizarro, and had his last Bizarro story published in 2001’s Bizarro Comics GN)
Jerry Robinson (Artist, golden age Batman and Detective Comics, Honoured newspaper strip cartoonist. President & Editorial Director of the Cartoonists & Writers Syndicate) Mr. Robinson is a guest of the Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards Committee and will be a presenter at the 1st Shuster Awards Ceremony as well as a convention guest. Mr. Robinson, aside from being a friend of Joe Shuster’s, was integral to the process of Siegel and Shuster’s being re-recognized and compensated as the creators of Superman in the mid-1970’s.
I fired off my First Round nomination for the Shuster Awards late last night. By mid-next week I should be ready to hand in my Second Round nominations. A bio and pic was also sent and once I get the url for the Awards, I’ll point it out here.
Let me state, once again, that I’ve been having a ball so far. I look forward to sharing a pint with the rest of the judges in Toronto. Heck, considering Warren Ellis has recently confirmed to attending the convention, I’m sure there’ll be plenty of drinking that weekend! 🙂
And, as tempting as it may be for me to let folks into who I nominated, it ain’t gonna happen 🙂 Luckily for me, I have my beautiful wife to talk to who, although privy to my votes, can not influence me one way or the other. At least, not in THIS matter 🙂 (I can’t say the same for other matters, you understand. but for THIS one, I can stand my ground 🙂 )
As promised to t! two months ago, I’m holding a Picasso’s GT this upcoming Friday (Feb 11th) at 7pm. You all know the place (in NDG, on St. Jacques, near PJ’s, a few blocks away from The Rose Bowl). Come on down, have a meal or at least a coffee, and just shoot the breeze. Singing is possible, but not mandatory (since this is more of a NaNo GT than a Savage Land GT 🙂 )
Please feel free to confirm with me or with t!
Realized it had been a while. Thanks for pointing it out, Ceri 🙂 Here’s a very short FF. [My Eyes Burn: I Can See Your End – February 5, 2005]
6 hours of sleep last night! I can’t believe I’m awake! But, that’s what happens when a full bladder forces you out of bed and a crazy puppy decides its time for her to wake up, too! 🙂
Karine! Adam! We had a wonderful time last night! I really look forward to many future such nights! 🙂 (and then perhaps I could remember to ask to look through your sketchbook! 🙂 ) I hope Mathieu allowed you to get some sleep this morning/ afternoon 🙂
All in all, this weekend has brought about some good news and work 🙂 And now, back to bed! 🙂
Wow, where does the time go?
I took Chantale out to supper last night (Palais D’Aisie) as she was craving chinese food. We got there at 9:30pm and by closing time (11pm) we were the only two left. It was a nice and very filling meal, but it was also especially pleasant to be able to sit in such a huge restaurant and being the only table waited on 🙂 Made me feel like a multi-billionaire who bought out the place to impress his lady 🙂
But, as I said, very filling. We were passed out before midnight even rolled around. And then, 6:45am, I’m up and about. Hair appointment at 8am and when I got back, I headed right back online. Been doing a lot of net-legwork for The Shusters and calling up old contacts. Before I knew it, noon rolled around. Had a number of household chores to do and now that I’m finally getting tired enough to go take a nap… I realize it’s 2pm. Woah.
Then again, since the net seems quiet enough and no further replies have come in from my earlier queries, I guess I can get offline now and go rest up a little. Not every day I can enjoy an afternoon nap 🙂
Oh, here’s a quote that made me laugh (and will probably be used one day in the future):
Baci avuti facilmente, si dimenticano facilmente.
Kisses easily stolen are soon forgotten.
Detto Inglese
For a nice quote, though, I leave you with:
Sull’orologio dell’amore e il bacio che scandisce i minuti.
Kisses mark the minutes on the dial of love.
