Follow the Thin Man into the New Year You could spend the evening watching cheesy pre-recorded concerts and lots of screaming drunks in New York City or be crammed into a crowded party setting the foundation for your first hangover of the new year. I'd rather spend the evening with Nick and Nora on TCM.  Labels: classic movies posted by Brendan | 10:24 AM | permanent link
My Son's Arsenal This Christmas my father granted Ian his long-standing wish to own the Nerf Vulcan.  The toy is essentially a rapid-fire chain gun that uses Nerf darts for ammo. It fires 3 darts a second. Frankly, it's awesome. After watching Ian lug this new weaponry around the house the last few days, when this comic popped up on Sheldon I had to laugh.  posted by Brendan | 6:04 PM | permanent link Happy Birthday Heather Today is my wife's birthday. It will be the 19th time I have celebrated her birthday, and I still never acknowledge her age. I only remind her that though we were born in the same year, she will always be younger than me.  Go wish her a happy. Labels: Family posted by Brendan | 9:49 AM | permanent link
5 Things I Think I can open iTunes on my computer at home right now, buy a song and listen to it without any problem. However, if I try and take the gift code from one of the albums my brother-in-law got me for Christmas this year, Apple insists I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. The problem being the latest version of iTunes won�t run on my computer. My iMac only has the hardware to support OS 10.3.9. The latest version of iTunes wants 10.4 or higher. So to use a code to download an album that has already been paid for in iTunes, Apple says that I have to essentially buy a new computer. Yet I can buy and download music through iTunes right now without issue. What�s so special about a gifted album that I need the latest version of iTunes? But should a Pink Floyd song come on the radio today, I will roll my eyes and turn to another station. The songs sound bloated and self-absorbed. Relaxing because I don�t have to wake up early and drag myself into the office every morning and fight my way through a day only to drag myself home again. Frustrating because there is so much I would like to do during my time off that I never seem to get to. The game doesn�t change my mind about the team � they are still poorly coached and need a new offensive line � but it certainly was fun to watch.

Heather Won't Admit It Out Loud But I know that this is what she is thinking.  Especially after the last four weeks - were she was baking something practically every night in preparation of a Christmas party, get-together, or holiday dinner. posted by Brendan | 11:04 AM | permanent link Keeping It All in Perspective Of course, after watching this video that perspective might be of our cosmic insignificance. It's fascinating to watch though. Labels: News, philosophy posted by Brendan | 9:46 AM | permanent link

Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 25  Santa Claus Funnies As has become tradition, I capped off this year's Christmas Comic Cover Calendar with a cover from Santa Claus Funnies. I wish you the happiest of Christmases. Hope you enjoyed this year's countdown.  Merry ChristmasLabels: Christmas, Comic Advent Calendar 2009 posted by Brendan | 9:00 AM | permanent link
Ain't it the Truth These negotiations start shortly after Thanksgiving in our house and run all the way til Christmas Eve.  Labels: Christmas, comic strips posted by Brendan | 10:29 AM | permanent link Cooking for Christmas The entire family coming over for Christmas dinner and still don't know what to serve that will be unique or different? You need to be reading Heather's 12 Recipes of Christmas.  posted by Brendan | 9:23 AM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 24  The Life of Christ Every year when I start my search to find 25 covers to include in my Christmas Comic Cover calendar, I expect to find a bunch of religious covers. But I never do. This year was the exception. Considering the theme of this cover, I thought it would work best as the cover to feature on Christmas Eve. 1 Day until Christmas!

Happy Birthday Declan! I hope you mom let you tear apart another birthday cake today.  posted by Brendan | 9:19 PM | permanent link Fun With Candy The other night I stole some M&M�s from Heather while she was assembling some treats for one of our kids� Christmas party at school (don�t worry, she had plenty). I was snarfing the M&M�s down quickly to avoid having to give them back while I walked into Ian�s room to see how he was coming along with his homework. I forgot what was said exactly, but whatever it was Ian made me laugh.  Heather recommended a drink of water to relieve the back of my throat, but I decided to wait. I figured the irritation would go away on its own. 10 minutes later I am pleasantly surprised by the taste � and sensation - of chocolate running down the back of my throat. Apparently the chocolate I had coughed up while laughing at Ian�s joke ended up lodged in the back of my nasal cavity. It sat there for a while until gravity did its thing. It was like getting a chocolate treat all over again. posted by Brendan | 1:24 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 23  Christmas With The Superheroes I've never actually read one of these Christmas with the Superheroes issues that DC seemed so found of in the late 1970's, but they seem like so much more fun than the holiday specials DC will put today. 2 Days until Christmas! Merry ChristmasLabels: Christmas, Comic Advent Calendar 2009 posted by Brendan | 9:00 AM | permanent link
5 Things I Think Cameron: "If I did Titanic today, I'd do it very differently. There wouldn't be a 750-foot-long set. There would be small set pieces integrated into a large CGI set. I wouldn't have to wait seven days to get the perfect sunset for the kiss scene. We'd shoot it in front of a green screen, and we'd choose our sunset."I guess I still consider film the art of capturing the perfect moment, not creating one. However I think Jackson nails it on why if I have to have motion-capture in the films I watch, I want him or Cameron handling it and not Polar Express/Christmas Carol director Robert Zemeckis Jackson: "With Gollum and Kong, the key thing that we did was the eyes. I think Gollum and Kong represented the best eyes that I've seen in a CGI film."Take a look at a Zemeckis motion-capture film and tell me you see any life in those eyes. Gah. I don�t know the Ohio station�s name or call letters, but they obviously understood that there are more than 20 Christmas songs that you can be played. 93.9 in Chicago is so tightly programmed with the same songs over and over that you can set your watch by what song is playing. Mariah Carey again? It must be 3pm. The house had running water and a functioning LEGO toilet. But because LEGO wouldn�t take it from him and no private buyers could be found, the house had to be smashed into little broken LEGO bits. Labels: 5 Things I Think posted by Brendan | 4:51 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 22  Image Holiday Special 2005 I have read equal amounts of Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows (shown above) versus his superhero comic book work. I prefer his work as a cartoonist over comic books. I think his style and personal sense of humor is a better fit comic strips. Too bad he gave that up. 3 Days until Christmas!

That's My Dessert It's a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Heather made it for me to take in for my department Christmas party luncheon.  I didn't want to have to keep identifying what I brought in to share with the group. This way they can just read the top of the damn cake and figure it out for themselves. I haven't tried the cake yet, but the frosting is wonderful. posted by Brendan | 11:37 PM | permanent link Batman's Christmas Adventure A 1977 holiday album starred DC Comics three biggest heroes - Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. I listened to the Batman & Robin adventure where they take on Rudy The Red-Nosed Hitman. After you've enjoyed this suspense filled Christmas adventure starring the Caped Crusaders, consider some of these discussion questions/observations: Why do Batman and Robin fight crime wearing tap shoes? Labels: Batman, Christmas, oddities posted by Brendan | 5:37 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 21  Action Comics #762 I noticed this morning that Superman's pose in today's Christmas Comic Cover is similar to Green Lantern's pose in the cover featured on December 2nd. Not to worry though, a two days I'll have a cover Christmas Comic Cover where our favorite DC heroes are happy and enjoying the season again. 4 Days until Christmas!

Kid Quote of the Week "No fudgey, No Christmas" Emma, reacting to the prospect of a Christmas season where I didn't make any of my homemade fudge. Labels: Kid Quote of the Week posted by Brendan | 4:00 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 20  Donald Duck #203 It took me a while to figure out this cover. Donald holding a pair of sunglasses didn't make sense until I considered that the tree was so bright he was contemplating wear them to look at the tree. However, why the nephews don't seem bothered by the brightness while Donald needs to turn his back on the tree's brilliance still doesn't make sense. But then again, I don't think we should be breaking down Disney comic book covers from the 1940s. 5 Days until Christmas!

Mark Your Calendars You'll want to remember the day Ziggy finally wore pants.  Thank you, Mr. Pastis, for making the world a better place. Labels: comic strips, Funny posted by Brendan | 10:57 AM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 19  Impulse #57 Back to the DC Comic covers. Maybe my love of the DC characters makes me biased, but I think the heroes and characters of DC Comics make for the best looking Christmas themed covers. Even minor characters like Impulse, Plastic Man and Mxyzptlk look great racing around a Christmas tree. 6 Days until Christmas! Merry ChristmasLabels: Christmas, Comic Advent Calendar 2009 posted by Brendan | 9:00 AM | permanent link
Getting Closer At least Ziggy has found his pants. Maybe next week he will wear them.  I guess they had to work up to getting Ziggy's pants. Couldn't just have him suddenly appear wearing something on his bottom half. Didn't want to shock the loyal Ziggy readers after all this time running around semi-nude.

IDW is publishing this comic this December. It's probably in the comics shops right now. However, I already saw the Ghostbusters go up against the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future in the Ghostbusters cartoon from the late 1980's. Not sure if I need to see it again. 7 Days until Christmas! Merry ChristmasLabels: Christmas, Comic Advent Calendar 2009 posted by Brendan | 9:00 AM | permanent link
Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 17  Archie's Holiday Fun Digest #12 It feels like there are a countless number of Christmas-themed covers from Archie comics, so it's always easy to find one to include each year. I also enjoy including an Archie comic because the covers are always so much fun to look at. 8 Days until Christmas!

Iron Man 2 Trailer The first trailer for Iron Man 2 is on the web and I only have one word to say: "WOW"  Wait until the very end for the best part - Stark and Rhodey go masks down and start kicking-ass in the Iron Man and War Machine armor. This movie is going to be awesome. posted by Brendan | 11:38 PM | permanent link Projects With Emma I've recently enjoyed the opportunity to work on some creative projects with Emma. First up, while attending her cousin Declan's first birthday party at the DuPage Children's Museum, she and I built this fantastically massive castle out of blocks.  What I failed to capture in the photos I took of Emma's castle was the doorway Emma installed. It was tall and sweeping. I wish I had gotten a photo of it. More challenging for her and I was her Dinosaur Diorama that she had to make for school. In order to create her dinosaur scene, Emma decided that she wants to build her dinosaurs out of LEGOs. So she and I did a little research on the web to find some pictures to use as reference, and then we figured out how to piece together a bunch of her brother's LEGO to make a Tyrannosaurus Rex and some other dinosaur whose name I forget now.  (All the painting and decorating of the shoebox was done by Emma on her own. I had no hand in that.) I just hope that we haven't set the bar too high with our first school project collaboration. Labels: Family posted by Brendan | 10:47 PM | permanent link Rat Lied To Us! From today's Pearl Before Swine  But this is today's Ziggy  According to Pastis, Rat's protest efforts should have paid off and we were to see Ziggy in pants today. But today's pants-less Ziggy hints at that fact that there may be another force out there tampering with Ziggy's pants. Labels: comic strips posted by Brendan | 12:41 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 16  Chip & Dale I realized this morning while preparing this post that this year's Comic Advent Calendar doesn't feature any Looney Tunes comic covers (sorry if I ruined the rest of the calendar for you) but does feature 2 covers with Disney characters. Today's being the first of the two covers. I think this might be the first year I haven't featured any Looney Tune character covers. Regardless, do you think Chip and Dale were at all surprised by what they got each other for Christmas? What else besides an acorn would you get a chipmunk as a present? 9 Days until Christmas!

Almost Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas If you are still struggling on what to get me for Christmas, let me share some ideas that have just recently come to my attention. Batman Cowl Replica  Its a replica of the cowl worn in Batman Returns - my favorite Tim Burton-direct Batman film. They're only making 500 of them, so move quickly. At $474 a piece I'm sure they will be gone soon. A Christmas Story Snuggie  I used to scoff at the snuggie, but then Heather got one from her mother for Christmas. I tried it out the other night. It was comfortable and having my hands free to work the remote was nice. So considering that my cynical heart was melting just a little bit towards Snuggie ownership, I thought if I'm going to have one it should be one that up the kitch factor. Labels: Christmas posted by Brendan | 11:05 PM | permanent link 5 Things I Think  For a second grader, Emma is contemplating some pretty intense and heady stuff. Labels: 5 Things I Think posted by Brendan | 9:45 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 15  L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is a book I've always wanted to read, but have never made the time. Maybe next November I'll make sure to find a copy (either the original or this wonderful comic adaptation by Michael Ploog) so I can read during the Christmas season. 10 Days until Christmas!

My Kind of Cause  Labels: comic strips posted by Brendan | 1:56 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 14  Batman #309 As Christmas covers go, it's pretty weak; though the holly and bells border does give it a bit of a festive air. No, there is one reason this cover makes it into the countdown: Batman. 11 Days until Christmas!

Do You Like This Post: Yes or No? Emma has reached the age where writing notes and passing them along becomes a popular pastime. I don't date contemplate how much note writing goes on at school (I imagine a lot), but at home Heather and I receive our fair share of hastily scratched off notes from Emma. Usually they are short, with a brief "I love you" followed by a request to answer some question. Examples: "Dad, I love you. What do you have for lunch?" was slipped into my messenger bag one morning before I left for work. "Dad, thanks for driving. Can I pick the next show: Yes or No" was passed along to me while we were traveling back from Ohio last weekend. The notes are usually fun stuff and are always good for a smile. The best note I�ve seen so far was an epic (relatively) script that Emma produced and left for Heather right around Thanksgiving.  Not sure if Heather took the time to answer all of those questions. I�m also perplexed by the inclusion of the color question in amongst all of those questions about pets. But who am I to dissect the mind of a 7-year-old girl. I�d rather enjoy the notes for as long as she will write them for Heather and I. posted by Brendan | 1:07 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 11  The Outsiders #5 With Mike Barr and Jim Aparo as the creative team, I have to expect that this Christmas Carol inspired Outsiders tale was probably pretty interesting.

What the Hell Was Going On in the 70's? Apparently they liked having their 10-year-old kids emptying dishwashers blindfolded in their underwear.

5 Things I Think DC Earth One sounds like it has better editorial direction from the get-go and only publishing the books as original graphic novels � as opposed to first as monthly comics and later as collected editions � is the better approach to hit the target appeal group.

Civil War Adventures Here's something I want to add to my reading list: Civil War Adventures  I'm not familiar with Kwapisz's art, but the samples on the website look good. Chuck Dixon is one of the best comic book writers in the business. I think it is impossible for him to not craft a compelling and entertaining story. With Dixon's writing and the amount of historical research that will be going into these comics, I expect the books from History Graphics Press to be a great read. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one. Labels: Comics posted by Brendan | 12:42 PM | permanent link Christmas Comic Cover 2009 - December 2  Green Lantern #36 Another day, another cover.

Iron Man 2 It doesn't debut until May 2010, but the first teaser poster is out today.  posted by Brendan | 4:59 PM | permanent link 5 Things I Think The ESPN/ABC crew gave us plenty of sideline views of ND Quarterback Jimmy Clausen and Standford Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, but only once did we see Charlie Weis. It was almost like ESPN/ABC was going out of their way to not show Charlie on screen. I thought that was interesting. It wasn't like they were ignoring Charlie was there. Brent Musberger talked about him constantly. (Mostly about how this was probably Weis' last game as the Irish's Head Coach) But the ESPN/ABC director would never cut to a shot of Charlie. Certainly makes going to work a little more fun. I also wish it was true. It's driving me crazy. My inner-geek makes me pick the Indiana Jones themed one as my favorite,  But funniest one is the barrel of monkeys scene.
