At least it still is on the West Coast for seven more minutes!



Seven minutes is just enough time for octopus birthday hugs.

... kinda.

( Also some other dudes )

Sooooo much ST love right here. So much.

So.

Much.



BBL DRAWIN CHEKOV

Okay, I've read GM's recent Batman & Robin and he has, terrifyingly, managed to make me like Damian Wayne. (Granted, haha, he did create the little bastard in the first place, but shhh.) The second he became Robin, really, officially Robin, my heart apparently decided to thaw. Look, look, it is a ten-year-old with illusions of being a ninja, rather than the reverse! Huzzah, cuteness has prevailed.

This post is partially to get this tiny demon out of my system, and partially dedicated to Dean Trippe. Oh Dean, please know that on your birthday weekend, I concede that Grant Morrison is the best ever and totally rules. I might even like Little D more than Jason now, maybe. Maybe.

( Evil little imp )

I LOVE SPECULATIVE BIOLOGY

Let's all devwatch Abiogenesis. (blog has scientists popping up in the comments to give critiques, oh my god)

Specworld -- Whatever killed the dinosaurs never happened! Dinosaurs! Everywhere!

Snaiad -- Completely alien, crazy muscle system, awesome illos, whales with water-jet butts.

Eobasileus -- Posts from early years dedicated to spec creatures. Fanged seasnake crocs!

Furahan Biology and Allied Matters -- Centaurs! Biplane birds! And he links/reviews other crazy spec-bio stuff, which is how I found the next thing...

Diary of Inhuman Species Doesn't appear to be doing it from an evolutionary standpoint (I know, baaaaaw), but man, sentient octopus monsters.

... And just in case these links start making you think REAL animals are boring, here's Zoolillogix. Were it not for this blog, I might have gone through life ignorant of the fact that moray eels have a second set of extendable jaws in their throat, like Alien. (This does not, in any way, diminish their cuteness.)

(All of this because Noscans started Off-Topic Tuesday. Clearly I need to start scheduling my homework time differently, I am not gonna get anything done on Tuesdays now. Back to work, Jemma, you filthy art-peon!)

Took me long enough!









I don't feel like I nailed all the likenesses, but whatever.

Don't worry Ed, it's all hip-hop from here. :P

I've posted the poll up on my DA, so you guys can vote here or there. Or vote twice! I'm not counting, this isn't for the president or anything. The options for the Fantastic 4 ARE:

The Beatles
NWA
The Black Eyed Peas

Vote in the comments since I can't post polls here!

If you have a better idea, say so. People were suggesting individuals, but let's keep it to groups.

Also got Gnarls Barkley suggested for Cloak and Dagger, might draw that while everyone's fighting it out in the polls... Although I kinda wanted to have GB be Royksopp, maybe I should post that as a poll next.

Hey, I just realized I need a Namor and a Spider-man if I've got an F4. Keep 'em musical, bonus points if we stay in hip-hop, and Namor's gotta look bangin' in a Speedo.

I'm totally going to hell if I stay on this train of thought.

... But let's say I do stick with it. Who's the Fantastic Four? Prince Galactus needs somebody to fight!

Hey you're right Ed, Andre 3000 as Silver Surfer is pretty perfect.



Now who's he a herald of?

Me: Go play your hilarious videogames.
Brother: What do you mean, "hilarious"?
Me: Well I mean, I bet they're more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
Brother: A barrel of monkeys doesn't sound very fun.
Me: What, you wouldn't want to watch a barrel of monkeys?
Brother: No, it wouldn't be fun.
Me: What if you were in the barrel, with the monkeys?
Brother: That would be scary. It wouldn't be fun.
Me: What if you were... rolling the barrel around?
Brother: I think I would have some dead monkeys and some explaining to do.

Okay this took extra time because it ballooned into a big "EVERYTHING JEMJAMZ IS READING" post.

( I LOVE COMICS, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH )

Okay! SDCC post! But first, lemme ask the other ladies who went -- Did you get hit on as much as I did? Because seriously. It didn't happen at all last year, and I'm pretty sure I look as much like jailbait now as I did then... At any rate, things turned out okay, and I mastered the art of the gentle letdown.


Putting the "Come ON" in come-on

( Hilarity ensues )

So I'm back from SDCC. Tomorrow I will tell you all the crazy things that happened. Until then, you might want to read this, in which Good Tim Callahan discusses the con, the New Awesome, and how I am gonna kick Megan Fox's ass.

(She's really asking for it. Are you reading this Meg? Whatever you're doing, you cut that out right now.)

What's Ferris up to?

I bet Jisuk knows...



Thanks for the DA subby!

(Gosh, I wasn't gonna color this, but you know how some pictures cry out for some special attention? Jeez. Off to bed. And then, SDCC! Woo!)
