Just some blah!

So I went out to Gamestop today to pick up Sonic's Ultimate Sega Collection.... it wasn't there yet, it will be there tomorrow. So off again tomorrow after I buy me new TV... Yeah my POS first generation HD TV and for some reason the tube has been warped and cuts off the picture on the right and left side of my screen. Back to this game it HAS TONS OF AMAZING SEGA GAMES!!! I mean tons, all the games I didn't get to play as a kid because I only owned a SNES are now on this disc. Finally I will be able to play all the Sonic games.

I also stopped at TRU today because I heard rumors the new Wolverine Movie figures were out and instead found the JIGSAW Mighty MUGG FINALLY!!! I already have the Punisher Mugg and now finally the Jigsaw one too.

What I'm Reading

I read my typical books that I pick up every week including, anything mentioning the Punisher and usually the big event of the year from Marvel. On top of that I am just about to finish up Duane Swiercynski's the Blonde. It is a very solid, quick read that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. If it weren't for the attention getter kids, I would of finished this thing the minute I picked it up. It is about a girl who must stay near a person, within 10 feet, and if she doesn't she will die. So she poisions a man she meets at an airport bar to keep him clsoe. After this I will be getting Severance Package which promises to be even better. Plain and simple, people are being let go of a job but for FINAL, there is no way out of the building unless its in a body bag.



I am also in the middle of the greatly hyped World War Z by Max Brooks, I need to go back and read The Zombie Survival Guide after this one. He also has a new one coming out latter this year.



Once those two are complete and possible the books following those that I mentioned. I will be starting of on a epic adventure from what one fellow fantasy reader has told me is quite the unsung story of Fantasy as of late. Winterberth by Brian Ruckley looks to be quite promising. 'The first volume of the Godless World trilogy. An uneasy truce exists between the thanes of the True Bloods. Now, as another winter approaches, the armies of the Black Road march south, from their exile beyond the Vale of Stones. Soon, all will fall under the shadow that is descending.' He has written another book in the series and another one comes out later this year.



Books I am Looking forward to this year

Patient Zero
Its about terrorist developing a plan to turn our dead into the walking undead.



Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks
More accounts of the zombie war.



Offspring by Jack Ketchum
I owned this book once, something happened to it. The wife left it in the car and the sun melted the glue that held the bind together or something and it got tossed out. I was 3/4 through it when this happened. So now I am going to find another couple and finish this damn thing. As well as my other few Jack Ketchum books I have lying around.



Books I recommend for anyone this year to read

Offseason by Jack Ketchum
one of my new all time favorites. This book is brutal and a great read! He wrote this book back in the 70s I believe and got a lot of shit for writing it. But it was amazing!! If you can stomach it, read it!



I believe that is all for now. Hope you guys will get some good reading out of what I listed. I know I will!
So, yesterday, I went into my son's bedroom where my wife was playing with him and our two daughters. And he was standing on his bed over top of her with her curling iron in her hair, unplugged of course. So I quickly grabbed the Digital Camera, snapped some pics and took this video.



We thought it was funny, of course it probably really isn't but hell watch it anyway!!!
NYCC has come and gone, well it won't be gone till 5 pm today but I am not there so it's gone. Yet another year of myself not attending and just sticking it out till Wizard World Philly. Hoping to take a couple copies of my Butcher and the Cook (title not yet final) with me this year to pitch to a couple of new artist in Artist Alley this year. I already have three pages done for it as well as three pages done for my original spy thriller I was working on.

I really need to start focusing and just saying screw it and finish one or the other. My only concern is that I'm not sure if I want to do it all in one issue or a couple.
