Y'know, I was thinking it had been a tad too long since a good old fashioned, Bush-style terror warning. I was hankering for a nice dose of vague, orange-flavored, non-specific fear. So I wake up this morning and whaddya know... order up! Sure, there's no when, where, or how, but hey... details, schmetails. Better that we're all afraid, everywhere, all the time, right? Now where the hell did I put that roll of duct tape?
 Here's a little unprinted Harvey Pekar strip (rejected by E.W. for some strange reason) about the one & only Billy Bragg, drawn by R. Crumb. Pekar and Bragg fans alike should get a kick out of it. Fans of both, like yours truly, will find it pretty cool to know that they're longtime friends. Boston area Lord of the Rings fans, get ready: Tickets for August's LOTR Exhibition at the Museum of Science go on sale this Tuesday, June 1st, at 9AM. Either visit the museum, or click over to their online store to get 'em. How often have you clicked a news link, only to find that an annoying 'free registration' (aka 'spam email collection') is required. Too many times, I'm sure. Well, a handy site exists to help avoid this. Check out Bug Me Not for usernames and passwords for places like the N.Y. Times and the Washington Post. If you're feeling generous, you can also add existing logins to the place for others to use. Excellent. BBC Radio 2 has made last week's tribute to Nick Drake (Lost Boy: In Search of Nick Drake) available on it's website. I'll be listening from home later on. Good thing I only have to hear Mr. Pitt do narration, and not be subjected to any flowing golden locks or a faux-trojan bum. Since Troy, I have trouble taking the guy seriously, but hopefully he'll relate the story of Mr. Drake with the respect and solemnity it deserves. Speaking of Troy, since my hate for it knows no bounds, this 15 Minute Script had me chuckling in no time. Another excellent Red Sox blog has sprung up, this one called Surviving Grady. Worth a look for Sox fans. And check out this spring training photo they've got of Curt Schilling, kids. Amusing not just for his vintage Astros shirt, but for the hat on his head.... EverQuest! Scythehands in the house, baby.  |
