Nanananana...Batman!
6 May 2006 02:30Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Studying for AP Literature test and all. Hope my essays were okay.
First, the important stuff.
I respect the people who chose to honor the May 1 immigration rights day in the way that they felt was best: either by staying home from work or school, or by going to work or school but still wearing white and respecting the economic boycott. My friends and I did the latter. Anyone who also remembered the labor origins of May Day deserves a cookie as well.
Here’s a good article on Sudan by Paul Rubeasagina (spelling?). You may know him as the guy Don Cheadle portrayed in Hotel Rwanda.
The world fails to act on another slaughter.
Now, on to lighter topics.
May 4 was Star Wars day.
May 6- this Saturday- is Free Comic Book Day. Click on the link to find a participating store near you.
( The promised Batman post )
In other news, there’s a Neil Gaiman tribute album coming out, featuring Tori Amos, Rasputina, and others. Should be interesting.
Oh, and vote for the good people in the MTV Movie Awards. The java-packed voting ballots take a few seconds to load, though. But we cannot let certain nominees win. So, even if you don’t like MTV, please vote!
( And the nominees are… )
I had fun at the Manga Expo here in Fremont last Saturday. We didn’t have a lot of time, but I talked to some of the artists, checked the booths and merchandise, and BOUGHT AN ADVENT CHILDREN PILLOW! There were more cosplayers this year too.
So…it was Bloody Wednesday on TV. Two deaths due to sharp objects on Alias, two deaths by bullet on Lost, and one guy smashed into a trash receptacle on Invasion. Whew.
The TV Thursday that followed was the day of Daddy Disguises. (Smallville, Supernatural.)
Oh, and the Spring issue of Youth Today just came out in Fremont. The editors squished my article a bit, and added the word "slated." They also identified my female teacher as a "he." Otherwise it’s what I wrote. Some of the other articles are cool too- my favorite ones are about Wizard rock and Fremont's very own pirate store.
Well, see y’all someday.
