Another...Huh?

Today's "huh?"comes from actress Kimberly McCullough's blog at her website: http://www.kimberlymccullough.com

(kimberlymccullough.net is the fansite that has been around since...forever)

I have loved her ever since she was a tot on General Hospital and have pretty much followed her througout her career. I am still there even though I hate the direction that her character, Dr. Robin Scorpio, takes on "General Hospital" at times.


While rooting around in her website, I came across this quote:

I can’t wait to come back here and take more photos of this quaint, charming town. In the mean time, I will leave you with a little bit of goodness...baby goodness. Nothing cheers me up like a good dose of wonderfully smelling baby feet.

I suppose I will have top take her word on that.

An old love revisited

Saturday night I spent a great time with a friend who reminded me that just hanging out can be fun. He brought up Invader Zim, a cartoon I was not familiar that was created by Jhonen Vasquez, a name I was very familiar. There was a time where I worshipped at the altar of "Jonny, the Homicidal Maniac." Not having cable cause me to miss out on Invader Zim, but it is available on DVD.

This friend also informed me that Mr. Vasquez has a blog on livejournal: http://chancrescolex.livejournal.com/

Read and...be translated.

Amish school shooting

Apparrently no one and no place is safe:

Charlestown

What deity did Charlestown, Massachusetts upset?

First, on the heels of a hostage/murder-suicide at a high school in Colorado, shots are fired outside of Charlestown High, necessitating a lockdown and hard target search for the gun.

Next, cement dust blankets the schoolbus yard that is located in Charlestown and that serves many of the schools in Boston.

Granted, it was interesting to hear news about Charlestown that did not concern the usual hard target search for bank robbers and to witness Channel 7 boldly preempt its daytime programming to provide the most coverage out of the three major stations of both events (not seeing 'Passions' and most of 'Days of Our Lives' was no huge loss).

Well, if the school deities are upset, I'd say that Charlestown ought to light a candle, listen to them, say they're sorry and fix whatever it is.

(I know-the last sentence makes no sense but what the hey?)

Genug Already--A Plea to Soap Writers

I've been watching ATWT for maybe 2 years now and every time I decide to stop watching something interesting happens. I was on the edge of my seat with the slasher storyline. My main reason for writing is the constant pregnancy drama with one particular family. Let me explain: Jen had a one-night stand with Craig and got pregnant. Paul was getting ready to divorce Emily and she turned up pregnant. Now poor DUMB Will is trying to save his marriage and that home wrecker is pregnant (although I don't believe her). Give me a break that issue has been played out.... Enough already.... This is the new millennium: MEN DO NOT MARRY THEIR KNOCKED UP FLING ANYMORE... Give Jade a life and cut Gwen and Will some slack so they can attempt to have a normal life. Please don't let that pathetic girl be pregnant, especially since Gwen cannot get pregnant herself.

Lea Hernandez

Lea Hernandez is a comic artist that more people should know about. I learned about her during the 'New Blood' series that Elfquest published in the 90s. She did a beautiful two-part story that focused on the character of Moonshade that took place in the early days of the Wolfriders' sojourn at Sorrow's End.

She's done quite a bit since including I found out recently at least an issue of Marvel's 'The Punisher.'

She can be found here:

Unfortunately, she suffered a fire and is in need of money. More details can be found out at her livejournal. I know it will all work out.

More Interesting things I found on the Web

I was curious about this guy. The last thing I saw him in was an episode of the tv series "Silk Stockings."

I fell in love with Tasha Tudor when I saw the documentary that aired on PBS. I was please to see that she is online since the life that she lived in the documentary seemed to indicate that the internet was not something she was into. Admittedly, her children and grandchildren maintain the site, but you can purchase items she and they created, which is cool.
