In case anyone's wondering....

No, I'm not going to BotCon '09. The date is finally a time when I'm not teaching, but my Big Expense this year is going to be a new computer (and I'm probably going to have to replace my TV and get a DVR some time in the next year too), and I really can't justify dropping a full paycheck or more on travel to California. Especially since I may be getting less summer pay than usual as the department tightens its belt again.

Next week's comics (Jan 2)

Yeah, UPS isn't picking anything up today or delivering anything on Thursday, so comics are delayed until Friday. Here's what's on Midtown's list for me: Blue Beetle #34, JLA #28, JSA #22, LSH #49, Galaxy Quest #5, All Hail Megatron #6, Avengers/Invaders #7, Initiative #20, Hercules #124. And, of course, still waiting on a bunch of December-shipping titles.

Review: TF:Universe Deluxe Wave 4

Starscream mildly recommended, Autobot Hound with Ravage strongly recommended, Cyclonus with Nightstick recommended, Cheetor mildly recommended.

Sketch meme - Drawings in comments

Ganking with mods from derumi.

The first three people to ask for 'em gets sketches of any character. You may want to provide references if you're not sure I know the character, and if I've already drawn a finished version of the character you may want to pick someone else. If you wish to continue the meme, post this italicized bit in your own LJ.
